So my picks

VJ - took 4th, went 3rd
Jaku - took 6th, went 20th
CMB - took 12th, went 9th
Coward - took 14th, went 11th
Yang - took 30th, went 16th

Pretty good, except for Jaku, but I'm willing to accept that cause the Heat are really good at developing guys. Only one I don't like is CMB going to the Raptors, like Masai does have an eye for talent I feel, but that's a poor fit on their roster, all their guys basically do the same thing.

Man I'm thinking that I hate NOP as a destination for Fears right now. Their FO gives me no confidence...it reminds me of how they effed up Cade Cunningham's first few years by giving him bad pieces. I'm just hoping Fears can start developing that shot asap.

Happy where my picks went.

Pelicans traded an unprotected 1st for Queen, so I know he is in the mix to play from the Jump.

My plan was to always use him as a PF, and I hope that what NO does with him next to Missi. The Irony of the Grizz having that tandem before the Pels did

Powell was a first round talent like I knew he was, and he in Brooklyn so he def gonna play with that level of defense and athletic ability he has.

Cant Complain

Shopping Fox before the freeze

Just 4 teams with $300 or more to spend in Free Agency: Miami, Detroit, Charlotte, LAC.

I can't even predict where the top guys will end up.

Any predictions?

Haven't won without a guy making $600 so why not, also no contract is untradeable,

Can we cut or waive players during this period?

Also-- Celtics are confirmed keeping JB now that they got off both KP and Jrue's contracts-- he's likely to have scoring and responsibility increase without Tatum and KP in 2025. This a 28 year old All-NBA 2-Way guy with 2 years left on his deal just entering his prime.

Taking offers on Brandon Williams who had a great year stepping up with Kyrie injured.

Hoffa got to much money hard to tell his intentions. But he Also do alot of bluffing

I can’t call it.

Having Edwards, Sabonis, Booker, Garland and failing to even make the playoffs might be enough to drive a man over the edge.

Adou Thiero to the Lakers at 36.

Great landing spot for him imo.

Lots of prime time games on a team that should have some minutes available for a high motor, defense first wing like him.
