Some contender about to secure Newell and then another grabbing Fleming. Just end me now man

I'm sure Masai and Bobby are working the phones right now. LOL

I remember when Bobby called about the Giannis pick he gave up so easily. Minny really wanted Muhammad that bad? I doubt it. That pick was ripe for the taking.

Spun him like Siakam

Bros acting like it wasn't facts then

Man’s out here crying over his lack of reading comprehension. Give it a rest kid, you’re benched for the night.

It's okay brother to not be right all the time

You would know.

I thought Jak should go late teens/ early 20's.

Learned it from the best in the hood

[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...

I think we have the players on our roster to do it. It might be cliche but internal development is where we are going to make the most progresssss.

If we are healthy. But with low ceiling. If we get 60+ games from BI, we should be a 43-ish win team with limited growth potential as we currently stand.

Riley!

That's enough guys

[sidsid]

Wait a minute. The Dumars trade is the better of the Pels OR Bucks pick??? Don't have a quick take on our own pick, just that I'm pissed we didn't do multiple trade downs to swoop in on this.

[S.W.A.N]

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



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.



To what end?



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.



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.

Ingram is not an elite offensive player. His career TS% is below league average.

CMB effectively locks us into a middling offense. Our 3pt shooting is going to be near bottom of the league. Also, how many rookies actually have a positive impact defensively? The numbers are incredibly low.

Who cares about next year. Anyone that thought the 9th pick would impact winning next year is an idiot.

This is a developmental pick. An elite defensive player and solid offensive player who needs to rebuild his outside shot, but does everything else well.

Disagree about Ingram, TS isn't the be all end all.


It is the 9th freaking pick. Getting a starter quality player is a win. Everyone thinking we getting a star there is overly optimistic. And I'm saying that as someone who thinks CMB can be a star

Poor Riley

Edit: nvm it’s Washington. At least not Utah lol

[DG88]

It'd be so funny if the Toronto Tempo end up picking Chloe Kitts.
