Disagree. KD wanted Houston.
I believe in Masai.

Less of a gamble but also less talented

I don't agree. you are hoping to get a good backup with 2nd rounders and that will still be the case. they will just be older so i think your hit rate of finding that player goes up.


Assuming every kid starts staying 4 years because they make more in NIL money than as a SRP, you are essentially only picking from one recruiting class. That's going to be less talent available than having multiple recruiting classes entering like in the past. The hit rate should improve with more of a body of work to evaluate but that doesn't matter much if there isn't enough NBA talent available in the second round.


maybe but i also see more international players as part of the pool now

Glad raptors didnt make the trade…any combo of RJ, IQ, Poeltl plus pick wouldve been an overpay for a couple seasons of 37 year old KD

This is like the 5th or 6th "big name" player, in the last few years, that had Miami on his wish list and the Heat failed to obtain him.

its about contract matching too...they had dillon brooks they could use. we don't have any filler unless we wanted to include poeltl which is a non starter for me

Kids are staying in school for a few million rather than entering the draft early if they're a projected SRP, so the talent pool depth is much worse than it used to be in the second round.


I think that is fair for a transitionary period…but eventually wouldn’t it mean the quality of player getting drafted in the second round actually improves as players stay longer in college programs developing, coming out older, and ready to possibly contribute sooner?


There's a Senior Class every year so you already get to pick from more "established" players, but now you're not getting as many kids coming out early so there's always less depth going forward in every draft if every kid that's not a lock for First Round starts staying 4 years.

Nobody does. He won't get crucified that much for this one though because like it was with our fanbase, about half of Heat fans wanted no part of KD. But then you hear of his offers and I can't believe other teams even take his calls anymore.
