There's a better chance of Masai trading the 13th pick for a win now player then there is trading Siakam for the 3rd or 4th.

The fact that we haven't worked out any of the top prospects is concerning.

Gonna package the pick for a win-now move.

We literally don’t even have a coaching staff for the workouts :lol:

Our organization looks like a complete **** right now


Rico Hines and the 905 are working the draft prospects out.

So we’re putting the future of our franchise in the hands of the 905. Fabulous

I don't think it's too big of a deal. I don't think we've brought in any actual lotto guys yet.

You know it is the front office that brings in the talent and the coaches who work with it. It’s not the coaches who evaluate talent.

You’re putting the cart before the horse.

Portland has worked out Scoot, Thompson Twins, Cissoko, Colby Jones, etc.

Raps worked out some dude from Hawaii.

Rico is a well respected player development guru. He would most likely be present for lotto picks as well.

Not even 3 weeks now. More like 18 days. Maybe budgets have been slashed because they didn't get that playoff money?

Yeah, more people need to realize this. Especially if we hire Sergio.

It's true we have head of CIA wannabe Bobby Webster in charge, everything's a big secret until they intentionally leak how close we were to getting this or that superstar 5 years after the fact.

Some people would rather have Jim Kelly running the draft and leaking everything while we draft busts

The draft is proprietary information. You cant be transparent

The media is disingenuous. They don’t deserve any handouts to push their false narratives. If there’s one thing Bobby/Masai do right it’s stay tight lipped about their business.

They used to be, they've been fairly leaky over the past year.

Draft stuff is still tip top secret though.
