I'd be hoping for Herro as an upside outcome.
I am yearning for the "Luke Kennard" outcome here.

I mean hes without doubt modelled his game after Booker. He says Book is his favourite player too. Went about the same place in the draft. Never say never.

Well we havent allowed one to slip. It was a toss between Gradey and Jett and i think Jett has more potential as a passer, 1 vs 1 creator and 1 vs 1 defender. We have no idea if Toronto also had Howard before Dick. Cason Wallace is good, but he would create even more logjam, maybe OKC jumped to prevent Dallas from trading him to someone else.
Rumor is we had a trade back deal with Toronto lined up (11 for 13 swap - they wanted Cason Wallace). OKC got word of it and made the deal with Dallas at 10 to block Toronto. Once that happened, our 11 for 13 swap fell through and we just took our guy at 11.
Of course its just a rumor so who knows if true.
My question is... who would have leaked it? You know our reputation about secrecy and if TOR really wanted Wallace, they wouldn't leak it. Is there a RAT in the commish office?

the player's agent? they wouldn't know if a trade was in play but they would know if a team was really interested.

He will def be SG/SF depending on the lineups.
So we have our own version of Book/Ginobli/Tatum/Horford. I ain't mad.swarlesbarkley wrote:
Reminds me of the Paolo = Tatum videos from last year. And you know what, they weren't that far off.

I really want to see a lineup of Cole/Suggs/Black/Wagner/WCJ when Paolo is resting.

My money on the fact he Will be a SF,After an initial period he Will try to defend guards.
Agree on people obsessed with size,especially with rookies,forgetting in 2-3-4 (off)seasons these guys Will develop a "muscles"armor all around.

That's kind of what we really need to take a step forward offensively...and it's certainly no stretch that Howard should be a great kick out finisher from Day 1. His range also might be superior to the other 2. (Don't get me wrong-Gradey will likely be a regular in the 3pt contest, in a JJ-like way).
