Would be a boring forum if everyone liked everything masai did.


I haven't liked one draft pick Masai made. His best pick so far is Norman Powell. And technically he was taken by Milwaukee.

Man, there goes Diallo. LAC got two of my favorite prospects in this draft, in Brice and Diallo.

Yeah, I don't like that mentality that much either: if you're gonna use the "they know more than you, you can't dislike anything they do" argument then there would be like 2 posters on this forum.

I admit I don't know 1/10000th as much as NBA GMs, but it's fun to talk about. Just because I wanted some guy doesn't mean I instantly think I'm some kinda genius.

Pascal wasn't who I wanted, but I'm looking forward to see how he'll play. I believe in Masai.

I'm a bit confused. What else could his "play for second contract" mean?


What I said. He wants to play well enough for his team to wanna offer him another contract which means he performed up to expectations. Where's the confusion? He doesn't sound like the most articulate guy so he probably had trouble expressing himself.


No, I agree with what you said. What I meant was why were other posters saying that his comment might be looked at negatively by teams. There seems to be nothing wrong with what he said at all.

If you're justifying Maker at 10 and Papagiannis at No. 13 then there is no point going on with this debate. Those were poor picks, too. Worse considering they were both in the lottery.


The point flew right over your head.

No worries, I'll explain itfor you, if those were bad picks and they went lottery, what makes you think you can wait 10 picks to get a guy you want?


Look at you, you think you're so smart.

If you're the only franchise that covets or values a player you realize you can trade down, right? Sometimes the value of the pick itself outweighs the value of the player you draft. The Siakam pick is whatever, that was late first round. If you're going to burn a lottery pick on a player you could have got later in the draft you've made a mistake.



Masai made the pick, not me. I think it was a good pick.
Poeltl was a good pick too

Everybody's welcome to post their opinions as long as it's within board rules. But the fact is that most ppl are not contributing anything more than "this sucks". If your main argument relies on mock drafts, that doesn't hold much weight.

BC and Philly had an amazing draft imo. Still way to early to tell.

Yeah seriously. It's really weird.

I'd love to be a scout for Phoenix. Easiest job in the world.

"Who do you want to take?"

"Take the guy from Kentucky" (scout says into his cellphone from a Scottsdale golf course)
Interviewer: Championship #2?
Ujiri: Hey...We're gonna get it. I don't know when it'll be, but we're gonna get it. Just like I said we'll get the first one and I said I didn't know when we'd get it...But we will. Guarantee you we will.

A raw rookie talking about his second contract means that his focus is money. It shows an incredible lack of maturity, and probably signifies the presence of a some idiots in his camp. Avoid like the plague...
