So there it is.


For sure. If you listed to it backwards he says “I rigged it”


Well that too

They already have Fox and Castle. Are they packaging those 2 for something better? What's the plan?


Trade fox in a few years


In a few years?

I would trade him now. Why wait that long? Especially when doing it now would give more playing time/growth for Castle and Harper?

Wemby is ready now. He will have an experienced PG who knows how to score and pass lobs. We extend Fox, and by the time that contract is up, those of Castle and Harper will be up. And by that point they will have more experience themselves. Less pressure on a rookie while still being competitive. It's a solid transition.

Because we need someone further sing the timeline to help out. Paul is gone and we’d be way too young otherwise. Wemby and a stretch big most likely drafted at 14, and then 3 slashers in fox/castle/harper

Why didnt Bailey workout for many teams? Seems counter productive.

SAS is already clueless when it comes to basketball, he somehow looks worse in this NBA draft

And unlike during the NFL Draft, there's no NBA network to turn to.


ABC is also covering the draft.

That's like the same thing.

Kon in Charlotte will force somw hands.

By that, I expect some player movement, because Kon is only going to help the Hornets mature.
