Bamba was drafted to replace Vuc. How did that work out?

Most if not all good pf/c out of our price range. I think that cements Mo Wagner coming back unless we want to change him for Nance which doesnt make much sense. We should really take big man with both or even 3 of our picks.

would you be comfortable with our guard situation with the addition of one of those guys you mentioned? I feel like we need to add two more guards.

Scoreboard...we added a guard (Bane)

...we declined two guards - Gary Harris and Cory Joseph
...we traded two guards - KCP and Cole Anthony

We're basically down to 3 viable guards - Suggs, Bane, AB ...we definitely have work to do with our backcourt. I don't consider Jett really a factor. I would be fine with Queen or even Gary as fifth guard on vet mins...I think it's Koby clear we need one more solid contributor at guard. I'm hesitant to assume a rookie can step right in, but (on paper at least) Jase Richardson or Walter Clayton seem like good fits, in the second round we could look at Chaz Lanier, Tyrese Proctor, Koby Brea and my darkhorse gem, Ryan Nembhard...but, again, any immediate contribution from them, would be considered a nice surprise...I guess Clayton, as an older guy, might present the best hope for that.

Propably you are right but on the other.hand Isaac, WCJ, Mo after acl... TDS, Caleb, Franz all can play at the 2.
We will also have one more guard as a two way which we almost didnt use last season.
Hitting on a forward/center is much more valueable. Memphis will have a problem getting great forward even with our picks.
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !

The Bane addition could mean AB and WCJ have to go

We had 3 viable guards before and after. I don’t see the problem.

Yup. I mean.. did everyone here suddenly forget that Suggs was headed to bust status until his 3rd year?

Magic might be able to just take their draft picks and play 2025-2026 but 1 year from now WCJ + more (JI or Black) has to go because of money

4 for $40 or 3 for $30 (with an option) is what a Cleveland's sports writer is thinking for Ty? We have to beat that

Jerome scares me a little bit.

He was awesome last year certainly, but it was so far beyond anything he's ever done before. He was literally a negative on both ends of the floor every other year of his career.

I'd be nervous about some significant regression.

I am nervous about that because of the playoffs. He was a stud against the Heat and then looked unplayable against the Pacers. It's a gamble for sure.

Ty Jerome won’t be on our team.
He’s a piece of **** that opponents figured out once they took him seriously.

I can't speak about his character outside of the back and forth with Paolo... but yea, if he is a POS, then sure, we can forget about him.
