I mean if you wanted to trade down, should have done so with the Knicks or worst case with Utah
Except most undrafted guys that look good almost always seem to go elsewhere.
I'm sure GoK is really excited for that one. I guess that one will be tomorrow though.
Not excited at all for the 56th pick! It's very obvious that Jones is doing this with the belief he'll get bronny at 56 and do a favor for Lebron. When all he's really doing is giving away value as he always does in trade for a worse return outcome. He should've done the Utah trade or just drafted Dunn and traded him to New York for the 25th and 38th picks.
I couldn't give a rat's azz about 2 picks 7 years out. I will say However that I agree with Slim that in Jones defense, they probably did their homework and saw that Kolek would slide to 28 and then they could take Kolek at 28 and Bronny at 56. Although bronny will most likely be drafted right at 55 before us anyways.
I'll still be happy with:
28- Kolek and
56- Ulriche Comche at 56.
OR
28- Ryan Dunn and
56- Zyon Pullin.
Why does it have to be a favour? What if Jones just wants to take a flyer on Bronny
