Maxwell Lewis is interesting. I think his biggest determinator is how he looks at the combined

Re: NBA Draft Thread 2023
Going from watching game tape of GG Jackson to Kobe Brown is like being baptized and cleansing all of my sins.
Kobe Brown is a legit hooper. 6'7 235 power forward. Average 16 pt, 6.4 rbs, 2.5 ast. 45% 3pt%, 62% eFG%
High IQ, was trusted a lot in helping run the offense & calling defense.
Kobe Brown vs Kentucky - 30 pts, 4 for 8 from 3, 6 rbs, 2 ast, 2 stls
Get that man in the gym with Haslem and with the Heat please....

If Leonard Miller can find more consistency in his 3 point shoot he is VERY interesting

What do you guys think if we trade the 18th pick to Indiana for the 26th & 29th pick?

I like it if it’s part of a bigger trade for a star sending both those 1st round picks out

We need a potential leading scorer who can drive and shoot and have a great work ethic

We have a 1/100000 chance of finding that guy in the 18 spot, so most likely its a bench player or a guy who somehow turn into a productive starter we pay 100M dollar contract to that can't get you a championship but will take 30% of your team salary because he was home grown.

I wouldn't mind moving them plus herro and filler for a superstar like Lillard
Or we could keep them too we can use cheap labor considering our payroll is insane

Def need a star but we're relegated to our self imposed treadmill.
We need another Wade. Wont find him for a while.

Neither one of them would have changed our outcome. Maxy is slightly better than Herro, but does not move the needle, and D.Bane is worse than Bam overall although a better scorer. I fail to see how either of them would have helped. You hit some picks and miss on other picks, the fact is at our range and the range we usually get picks at your not getting a Tatum, Durant, Jokic, Luka, or even a Fox. Your getting a level 3 type star at those ranges a #3 or #4 on your team if he pans out is what we will most likely pick up at that 11-22 range.

Re: NBA Draft Thread 2023
Meh.. just pick the best player available at 18 who has good shooting mechanics and has potential to make NBA threes. He may turn out to be Justise Winslow.. or he may turn out to be Jimmy Butler.. or, he may turn out to be Harrison Barnes.

Re: NBA Draft Thread 2023
Speaking of which, can ya'll believe that the Winslow draft was 8 years ago already? Shiiit.. feels like it was just yesterday that we were debating on who would turn out the best amongst Stanley Johnson, Justise Winslow and Kelly Oubre lol
