Maluach is going to Phoenix, #10 is in the proposed Durant deal.

Why does ESPN just blow in their coverage? Perk sucks. He has got to be paying them to be on air LOL. Bilas is the only knowledge guy there.

He will soon!

Hopefully it pays off for Memphis.

A!

If he learns to shoot, he's gonna be awesome.

Who was the last player with a broken ass jumper who learned how to shoot?

It literally never happens lol

Lonzo, Dort, Kidd, Griffin, Kawhi, Siakam, etc.

Michael Redd

Coward is the guy we will look back and balk that he lasted into the teens.

It's just the NBA announcing the trade late. That's all.

He’s got an incredible frame and a wet jumper. Dude’s TS% was like 70% in college lol

He played mostly at Eastern Washington though.

That's the 6'7 Wells. Bigger wing rotation though for sure.

Probably will be starting together if things go to their plans. I like the pick.

Man my memory is bad. I thought it was 2 players and 2nd rounders for KD lol.

I’m not. Phoenixs 2029 pick is going to be high lotto.

It isn't their pick. It's the worst of three other teams.

Taylor Jenkins Memphis has been great at developing players

That is a lot to move up 5 spots... they know how to draft though so I'd trust whoever is making those calls over there.

That’s who I wanted OKC to take.

Him or CMB.

I'm also thinking he will not be as effective in the nba unless really developed, time will tell

I haven't really watched Essengue, but based on his name,

F.

Kind of surprised Chicago didn't take Queen or Asa Newell.

Since when is 11 in the teens?

Danny Wolf would be interesting if he wasn't a Michigan college player.

I'm 100 percent certain Ishiba is building a Michigan cult in the desert. Was Mark Williams born in Michicagan???
