If they don’t hit a legit home run this summer that team will stink even with Giannis imo.

Agreed, but not 2nd worst stink to get us 32.

SL not looking very exciting right now, especially if Gonzo won’t be suiting up.

Well, three more before us, unless Brad decides to trade back/out.

As far as second round goes, Brad may be bad at drafting. I’m still high on jd and Walsh, but he hasn’t hit a role player yet.

Brad is a genius. Just no other way to explain it.

I hate that rico and Hugo will be canceling each other out as you can only give so much playing time for them.. Why draft two players at the same position
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Baylor is his only pick. I mean other than Hugo, who can't be judged. So he's 1 for 1.


Should we just throw out every time when he traded out or traded back? You can’t go year after year getting nothing out of the draft.


Brad traded firsts for pretty good vets.

DWhite alone was worth everything he traded, let alone the value he got out of Brogdon, Jrue and Porzingis stopovers.

Admittedly, the only significant players he traded in or out that stayed healthy when it mattered were White, Jrue and Nesmith. Porzingis, Brogdon and Smart had tougher times healthwise.

Oh wait -- I was thinking post-Horford-trade in the above. But that deal worked out well too, except for the part where the pick he traded was flipped to be used on Sengun.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I think we are looking to next season and beyond.

Those extra 2nd round picks are really valuable trade assets given how deep next year's draft is.

I am not unhappy at all. I trust Brad knows what he is doing.

Loving Phoenix's haul. One of the big winners from this draft IMHO

Not judging him as a whole, he’s just not good at all. Not one role player yet in the second. You can find those, people just look at stars and think that’s all.

There will be tons of wing minutes available. Hauser is probably getting traded, Tatum likely out for the year..JB coming off knee surgery...
