We have defenders. We need a guy who can shoot the cover off the ball. Hopefully it's Dick.

We have tried many of these Kapono type players over the years. We should have been looking for complete players who can defend and shoot

This is either a pick for Darko, or there's a trade. Dick isn't a Raptory player at all. I'm ok with the pick though if we are keeping him.

Dick had the best shuttle run in the draft combine

From nbadraft.net

Bill Self thinks that he could arguably be the best shooter he’s signed at Kansas, which is saying something considered the history of sweet shooting wings that have played at Kansas during his tenure, many of whom were early draft picks

Really hoping FVV ans Poeltl sign elsewhere. Force the Raps to rebuild and move out Bobby and Co.

Can't believe what I just saw

Gradey is nice, not my number option but he definetly can play minutes right away for us

KOBE TO ATL, PLEASE FOR SIAKAM

Maybe Raps and Atlanta have trade happening where we get Kobe

Damn, Atlanta got Bufkin. Looks like he'll be a bench player for the foreseeable future behind Trae and Murray.

Teams must really be concerned about Whitmore, because I might have thought he'd fit in better there in Atlanta.

Kobe bout to make us pay his whole career for taking dick over him!

WaltFrazier · Post #1095 » by **WaltFrazier** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 1:44 am

Hawks get Bufkin, now very guard deep. Windy hinting it may mean a trade, why not us? We need a guard, Devonte or whoever.

duppyy · Post #1096 » by **duppyy** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 1:44 am

He will be traded for Siakam

Jadoogar · Post #1097 » by **Jadoogar** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 1:45 am

Lakers are going to get Cam Whitemore aren't they? Crazy fall for him. Medicals must be terrible.

We are luckier than a dog with two Dicks to have Masai as GM.

h4rrison · Post #1099 » by **h4rrison** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 1:45 am

Bufkin getting re routed back to us for Siakam!

Kapono wasn't finishing alley oops above the rim. The defensive IQ is there imo.he just needs to fill out and become adequate on that end.
