Cason Wallace, our new starting PF.
We have no minutes anywhere else unless Dort is gone.

It’s hard to believe we couldn’t have gotten Wallace at twelve.

I think we could make Bertans a semi-useful player again.
Here we go!

Vecennie said we might trade next offseason Dort + Bertans and picks for a star and Wallace would be our "next" Dort (hopefully better offensively)

So, let’s trade 12 instead!!
…and prophecy fulfilled. I’ll stop spamming the thread now. Need to find a draft party in Dallas next year.

Surely Wiggins or Mann is gone I hope Mann. Remember the night is still young.

Did Presti want Bertans or did he know that Orlando would have taken Wallace?

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking as well. I'm wondering which team might covet Dort and what we could get for him.

Re: 2022 NBA Draft Thread
Well I expected to be underwhelmed and any many ways my expectations were exceeded.

Re: 2022 NBA Draft Thread
Time will tell. I didn't like the Jdub pick on draft night so...
Stil pissed we couldn't get a good PF and I would rather have Bilal but...let's see.

Sam and Schlecht are pals. That’s the only reason I can think of that he would think bertans and Dort return a star.

Ah,I hadn't heard that. Thanks for the info.
It would certainly make sense given our logjam in the guard positions.

No assets spent to get pick 10. Go get Bufkin or Miller now. Let's add more guards.

The key is the picks. It will take lots of picks, and OKC has lots of picks, to off-set the negative value of Dort to get a star.

Is Dort value already negative?

In playing with the trade checker from time to time, it seems like this is pretty smart. It's hard to match salaries with only Dort and a bunch of rookie deals.

No, it’s not negative, but I think it’s borderline. Though, as the cap goes up it will quickly be just fine.
