Onyeka Okongwu is going to make them regret taking Wiseman over him.

I still can't believe:
1) they took him
2) they've been almost unanimously praised for it

It was already 10 years since we drafted Turner? Wow. How time flies.

Okongwu will be Marquese Chriss. I doubt it.

Maybe Bob Myers lowkey sucks and Travis Schlenk was the brains of the operation.

Myers is locked into Andrew freaking Wiggins and used a top pick and James Wiseman.

Thankfully it seems the lightning is out of the bottle in GS.

I think Kemba is damaged goods.

This is why MJ and the Hornets let him go. He didnt looked healthy during the bubble. Then I find it weird that Ainge was shopping him.

(Sorry posted wrong article originally)

My take after reading this article is that I’m glad he’s turned his career around, but I don’t really want him on my team. He just seems a little too focused on getting his numbers and winning his individual matchups vs team goals.

Sixers not getting a Christmas day game should be used as motivation.

I don't buy this because the Hornets just signed Gordon Hayward to a megadeal. The evidence suggests they're either oblivious or downright apathetic towards the health/durability of their players.

Guys who looked good with the Warriors system last year:
Chriss
Burks
GR3
Wiggins
^ playing at that system can jack up your trade value

I can see them trading Wiseman and Wiggins for Harden

They’d then slide Oubre at SF.

Steph
Harden
Oubre
Marquese
Draymond

Or

Steph
Harden
Oubre
Draymond
Looney

Much more likely if Woods continue to develop and looks to be able to play PF.

Rockets can then play Woods-Wiseman frontcourt. Both looked like skilled, quick and athletic bigs.

Dont laugh now. Rox may bring back the “twin towers”.

Seems fine to me. What's the issue?

The timing is terrible. Wiseman is already worth less than the second pick was worth two weeks ago. Why not offer them a serious deal then? Even with a healthy Klay, their championship chances are dwindling.

Makes the Wiseman pick even more bizarre.

So they should have took LaMelo Ball?

2 of the maybe 10 worst personnel decisions of the past year. Wiseman shouldn't have been picked in the top 5 and the whole front office must've been drunk when they traded for Wiggins.

I'm thinking 8. Doesn't do anything for that awful defense.
