Poor RJ, he has become the worst player in the league in 10 minutes and he's not even in the league yet lol

I still think their package is overrated as hell


everybody's package is overrated. they'll just give up more because they have to. if kyrie is heading here with kd, we're not desperate and neither is boston because ad won't stay there then. the lakers need to get lebron a running mate.

Lakers right behind us. Hilarious.

If RJ is there at 3, you gotta call Pelicans and ask if Zion wants his teammate there to help the NBA transition.
We take AD off their hands while they get RJ (plus others) to pair with Zion. Chemistry already there.

Well this is the best result for us I guess in terms of not trading Mitch. Only deal that we would have traded him in involves AD, and now that's out the window.

Maybe Grizz keeping Conley because he's untradable and select RJ to pair them with Jonas

So we pick Ja

There is one surefire player in this draft

Ja can't shoot for sh*t, doesn't play defense, and has a worse FG% around the rim than Mudiay playing in the OVC. That ain't surefire nothing



Cant shoot for ****...

You got takes on Reddish or RJ?

Not huge fans of them either

Reddish to me is just Knox with defense and less explosive. Not a bad pick for a top 10 pick, but don't want with the 3rd pick

RJ has a good ceiling, DeRozan with a better shot, but he could be just angry Wiggins. I'll take him over anyone not Zion, but any other draft I don't think he goes top 3

If Ja falls to #3 trade down with the Suns for their 2020 unprotected and 6th pick.

this is the 1st time I dont think the lottery is rigged; NO is bad for Zion's brand

Not for the league. People will now show up to the games to watch Zion.

Why are people sure AD stays now? Hes gone to either LA or NY. Imagine starting your rebuild with Zion and RJ, Morant or any other guy in the top 4. Plus you have other assets to move for picks and such. They can turn it around real quick.

Why are people assuming the 2nd pick is a lock, either Ja or RJ could be a Knick. Stop being a downer, at least until the picks are made. People acting like it's all D League scrubs after the #1 pick smhlol

Of course if the Pels don’t want RJ, he’ll slot in nicely between Kyrie & KD.
