Masai appears to be in France, scouting for players in this draft 

Post#1 » by CazOnReal » Mon Jan 15, 2024 2:08 am

Read on Twitter


The player in question, Tidjane Salaün, is projected to be a mid-first round pick in the 2024 draft.

6'10 forward, 205 lbs. Very young at around 19 years on draft night.

We have the 31st pick......these prospects fluctuate in their draft order all the time, so probably worth the trip. Nothing to see here.

It's 5D chess. Now other teams will start looking at this guy so that the real prospect that Masai is targeting slips through the cracks.

Masai constantly trying to get Giannis, either via trade or drafting his replica

Someone tell Masai he traded our 1st for Poeltl already. Still can't believe the crappy protections on that pick for a damn role player lol

Yep, we saw this last year. Means nothing. Wine tasting tours.
