People acting like CMB was a reach pick. He was projected to go anywhere between 8-14....he's a nice player.

Solid prospect off the bench

I'm not a fan of Mogbo, so if CMB can replace him as the backup that wouldn't be the worst thing....it's not like Mogbo is locked in as the backup PF, he hasn't shown anything to deserve that.

CMB is an excellent player, just not for us! He’s not the BPA if he can’t get his game off because the guys around him don’t fit with him.

masai's cooked as a roster-builder. their flawed-ass vision doesn't get that you can't win 90-88 anymore

We have to make a trade otherwise this doesn’t work in the slightest. You can build a team with a bunch of 6’7”-6’9” guys but the bare minimum is shooting, which we’re allergic to.

So selecting the 9th pick means you have to trade your former ROY about to start his extension 4th pick?

Why does everyone draft selection have to be a starter or superstar. No1 at 9 was gonna be a starter

Brooklyn has so many picks, no way they are drafting 5 players in the first round?

You guys realize we're one of 1 of 8 teams to win a championship in the last decade right? Who are these teams winning, going to the bottom and peaking before us?

You need at least one legit 5 which we have in Jak but reality is you're going small a lot in the playoffs. Just look at the lineups OKC and Indiana had out there. These guys are going to need to learn how to shoot though.
