He's got a scorers knack. Lou Williams maybe?
I actually like his game, just don't like his attitude... Specifically, him disrespecting the goat
Wish him nothing but malice until the goat sends his regards
Who did he disrespect? MJ? Wilt? Lebron?
Always jawing at random bums too

How do you propose we manage that? We'd need to be drafting in the 1-3 range for Ayton, 8-10 for Bridges and 22-27 for Trier (which may come up if he keeps ballin'). Right now we've got nothing, unless we tank of miss re PO and get lucky, then we may get a shot at Ayton.
Only team in position to make that possibly happen is the Suns - even then the pick they get from us will likely be too low.
Flip some players, puppa.
Im always ready to fantasy trade our guys for picks.
We tank it up, and get lucky in the draft.
We trade Hassan to Cavs for their picks and contracts.
Move Dragic for a mid to late first and future considerations.
Would be a nice youthful core, Ayton, Adebayo, Bridges, Winslow, and Trier. Wouldn't need to worry about losing next year's pick, as we'd have plenty of youth to develop.

I can get behind that as a rebuilding plan. If Mikal keeps ballin' though, that Nets pick may need to be top-5, at which point Porter also becomes a consideration if he enters.
I would expect that a Dragic deal would likely bring a young PG with it, as the teams who would covet Dragic are teams without established PGs, but looking to make a PO push. Denver, Philly, Orlando and New York would be the ones I'd be looking at, who may want to strengthen their PG stock. This is where I'd be targeting my offers, some will have to go down, but this would be my starting expectation:
Denver: Dragic/something for Mudiay/Faried/pick (Lotto protected)
Philly: Dragic/Ellington for some combo like Bayless/Okafor/Pick
Orlando: Dragic/Elly/Hammons for Biz/young/pick I would try to get Isaac, Elf, then Hezo in that order, protection depending on who we got (might drop pick completely if they send Isaac)
New York: Dragic/Hammons for Noah/Frank/pick (Lotto protected)

His isn't fat at all. Look at the screen cap to the video I posted. He rolled his ankle a bit I think. That's why he was walking funny and a trainer was at his foot.
Shaq? I think that's a pretty good comparison. He did extremely well over the summer against kids of his talent. But he should have went to a prep academy like IMG or something. His strengths are very linear. He is a monster at changing direction going full speed and attacking the basket, and he has pretty good court vision. He can be Draymond on steroids or Julius Randle. But he'll make the league. He could have another growth spurt. He's 6'6" barefoot, so he's likely playing at 6'7"-6'8". YouTube critics are saying he's a man amongst boots and that will come to a halt when he starts playing against men. How many nba players are 6'6", 272lbs, and that athletic?

Did you catch Sexton almost lead his team to victory, playing 3 on 5! The Tide lost their entire bench due to ejection, had a player foul out and then lost another due to injury. Wild stuff. They were within a few points with a minute remaining. Sexton even got a shout out from Wade. Finished with 40.

I thought the question was which NBA player was his size and had ahtleticism, not who he played like.
Must have misread your question.
Mikal Bridges, F, Junior, Villanova Wildcats
Mikal Bridges
Mikal Bridges
Villanova is sitting at 6-0 early in the season, they just defeated Northern Iowa to win the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament Title, and they are expected to move up from their No. 5 ranking with Arizona losing twice in two days. A huge part of their success has been junior forward and NBA hopeful Mikal Bridges.
Bridges was one of the top players in the conference coming into the season and he was easily the most athletic player for the Wildcats. He is extremely lengthy at 6’7”, he can handle the ball like a guard, play defense down low with any big and has an outside shot and he can play multiple positions if he has too.
This week in the Bahamas, he helped Villanova win three games in three days by scoring 17, 21 and 18 in respective games. He came into Friday ranked No. 6 in the conference in points per game, he ranked second in steals per game with 3.2 a game and he was shooting the ball very well at a 59.2% field goal rate.
Bridges is a legitimate Big East Player of the Year candidate with his teammate Jalen Brunson and is quickly proving to be the top NBA prospect in the conference. He is off to a great start to begin the season, like most expected him to have, and he has Nova rolling.
