But again, are they taking experienced college players or still taking one-and-done guys or 18-year old overseas guys? Or trade down to get a late first and a second-round pick tomorrow.

I don’t care about his age. I think he is a rotation player as a rookie. Just a good value.

Damn! OKC takes Sorber.

Makes good sense. He is a Hartenstein replacement in 2 years when they have to release him for salary reasons.

I watched him a lot and can see why. Very turnover prone and struggles to separate without a pick.


Agreed. Tried to tell those who like him that he is more of a 2 or combo at best. And he's not great at either.

Traore, Sorber, Beringer, McNeely

But I don't think we have interest in Traore, or McNeelly.


Wolf is the guy I want the least, and lol, OKC gets Sorber. Why do teams like OKC, and San Antonio just run through this like Chess Masters and piles of other teams stumble drunkenly around like delusional idiots.


Jakucionsis is a value at this point, but honestly, I'd probably most want a trade down, all the guys I really really love are already gone other than Traore and Beringer.

Welp, I see us either trading out, down or going Euro here. I doubt they take Wolf or a guard like Richardson here.

I gotta say that seems like a terrible landing spot for Queen. Totally dysfunctional organization playing with Pool and Zion lol.
