yeah Udoka is going to have a tough job there


Houston's roster makes 0 sense, and the lack of passing guards hurt Sengun's development last year for sure.

ok, now I want to see us grab pick and pickup Sasser. They do this, and I feel about 5x better going into next season

Good pick by Nets, Whitehead was playing on a bum foot injury all season.

maybe my judgement is clouded, but either via trade or draft I just wanted us to have a credible replacement for FVV lined up

Whitehead was one of my faves the whole year. What an amazing choice by BKN

Portland taking a lower upside guy. Literally can’t tell if they’re rebuilding or not

Their FO might be the dumbest out there

Who is the raps PG? In a perfect world with a good GM, you let FVV walk...but who is the PG?

Murray can really shoot like his brother, not much else to his game though. Defense kind of iffy. Suits Portland.

Hope you're wrong, but at least we have the UDFA announcements to look forward to

Bit of an immediate contributor pick for Portland there. Seems like there was more upside talent on the board, but maybe they'll still be trying to convince Dame to stick around even without trading Scoot.
