Oh okay nvm I need a update site lol

[bballsparkin]

good pick for BRK
finally got some youth guard movement

It's a pretty smart strategy since the mid to end of the first round has so many options.

[CazOnReal]

Every goddamn year.

Every year!

So, now we HAVE to trade someone. Scottie makes some sense in that regard. CMB is cheaper, and if we are banking on improvement, then the younger guy makes more sense. But this has to be a prelude to SOMEthing, right?

Mogbo probably won't work out in the long run.

It's possible he won't, but CMB isn't positioned to do much better.

If we're trading Scottie I need to see Jaylen Brown donning the crappy chevron

I guess he's an option. He's a good defender, but he's also not better than BI on offense, and that's a little concerning for a guy who is going to finish his deal at 65 million a year.

Nah. CMB is coming off the bench for a year or two, as would any player picked at 9.

To what end?

Fix that jump shot and we will have a legit player. That's a big if........

From range the jump shot is so bad. He's good from the middy range, but from distance is pretty atrocious.

This is the same nonsense we've been holding out for with Scottie. If we want guys who can shoot, we should draft guys who can shoot, not projects with a high-percentage chance to never learn how and barely shot 70% at the line in his second college season.

Time to shift gears. CMB is a great pick. He'll probably be an All Star by year 3 and perennial All NBA starting year 5. One of the greatest defenders in the history of the league, 3x DPOY.

I respect the hustle. I'm still not done being mad yet, so I'm not ready for ridiculous, hyperbolic optimism yet. Perhaps tomorrow xD Then maybe we can start talking about how we're going to mold him into a SF and develop his shooting proficiency through warlock nonsense, and then he'll be That Guy (TM) for us.

I know Masai doesn't really do drafting for need, but after a season where we were the 6th-worst offense in the league, you'd think he would pick an offensive player, and not a roleplayer-level defensive forward lacking size.

We traded for an elite offensive player in Brandon Ingram and are developing Gradey Dick and Walter.

We have a good mix of D and O right now.

IF CMB works out, we are talking about having a top 3 defense in the league.


I'm just glad we went D instead of O. I would've hated Queen as our pick.

Brooklyn has Demin and Traore? Okay lots of playmaking but the shooting sucks. Sean Marks in full effect.

[RoteSchroder]

everyone here wanted him at 4. Maybe we trade to get him

Absolutely no one wanted him at 4. Stop the

Bro this whole board wanted him, go back and look when we had the projected 4th overall pick. I got hate for questioning it.

At the time he was hitting his shots and it didn't fall off yet. Later on, no one wanted him at 9.

If you draft a shooter, they need to make their shots. If Tre stopped making shots, he'd face the same consequences. Ja'Kobe fell off too last year and dropped. If teams saw the first half of Gradey's rookie season, he wouldn't even be picked up in the 2nd round.

[OakleyDokely]

A Demin/Traore backcourt should be fun. Nets look interesting.

[Troubadour]

Need a second pick to grab Kasparas Jakucionis

[bboyskinnylegs]

there was a lot of smokescreening with Kasp in this draft process

[JShuttlesworth]

KJ really falling tonight, crazy

[RaptorPride]

Nah, you go back. No one did. The consensus top 4 was Flagg, Harper, Bailey, and Edgecombe.

Then you clearly weren't looking at the draft till very recent. I remember me being the only one questioning it.

Ask anyone on this board, I’m in these draft threads. Easily more than you.

Have fun reading Mr.Draft expert, It was Ace or Jak.

a bit like when Minny drafted Rubio and Johnny Flynn

[Syd-TK3]

Nets doubling up on PGs but very different types hoping 1 hits

[Snappycoocoo]

Is it true these french players eat lots of frog legs it helps their hops

[tsherkin]

We traded for an elite offensive player in Brandon Ingram and are developing Gradey Dick and Walter.

"Elite" is a big word with Ingram. Even at his best, he wasn't that, though he was quite good. He's also more of a "now" player a decade into his career than anything else. He was acquired cheaply, which was good, but he's also barely available.

IF CMB works out, we are talking about having a top 3 defense in the league.

And if we remain worse than 20th on O, that'll matter only so much. We need to not blow donkeys on offense. I don't want to watch another team like the KO special...

[Dalek]

What happened to the Miami leak "welcome to Miami Nolan Traore". Guess they punt the pick. Masai call em up.
