Man if Phil just traded Porzingis like he wanted to.. :lol:

I don't think he's taking Tatum though. He's probably taking Josh Jackson.

2020 first round draft pick from L.A. Clippers
L.A. Clippers' 2020 1st round pick to New York [L.A. Clippers-New York-Washington, 2/6/2020]

2020 second round draft pick from Charlotte
Charlotte's 2020 2nd round pick to New York [Charlotte-New York, 2/7/2018]

2021 first round draft pick from Dallas
Dallas' 2021 1st round pick to New York [Dallas-New York, 1/31/2019]

2021 first round draft pick from L.A. Clippers
New York has the right to swap its 2021 1st round pick for the L.A. Clippers' 2021 1st round pick protected for selections 1-4 (if this pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyable, then the L.A. Clippers' obligation to New York will be extinguished) [L.A. Clippers-New York-Washington, 2/6/2020]

2021 second round draft pick from Charlotte
Charlotte's 2021 2nd round pick to New York [Charlotte-New York, 2/7/2018]

2021 second round draft pick from Detroit
Detroit's 2021 2nd round pick to New York (via Philadelphia to L.A. Clippers) [Detroit-Philadelphia, 6/21/2018; L.A. Clippers-Philadelphia, 2/6/2019; L.A. Clippers-New York-Washington, 2/6/2020]

2023 first round draft pick from Dallas
Dallas' 1st round pick to New York protected for selections 1-10 in 2023, 1-10 in 2024 and 1-10 in 2025; if Dallas has not conveyed a 1st round pick to New York by 2025, then Dallas will instead convey its 2025 2nd round pick to New York [Dallas-New York, 1/31/2019]

Now we just need for KP to blow his knee out but Donic stay healthy and things might really work out with the picks.

I heard this stat yesterday on Duncd On

With Luka no KP the NRTG is something like 6+
With KP no Luka, the NRTG is something like 4+
With no Luka no KP, the NRTG was still positive

Their offense just clicks b/c a lot of shooting and they move the rock. Their defense is terrible though.

They still might be a playoff team if KP gets injured. Kleber fan club member*

I remember in early mocks he was late teens / 20’s and and at that time we were playoff bound. Wanted him then.

Didn’t even think of looking at him at 8. He would have been, in theory, an awesome fit next to KP, assuming we wouldn’t have screwed up his development.

This was the season that Heat started 11-30 and were at one point had the third worst record in the league. I think they then made that huge run in the second half of the season only to fall one game short of the playoffs.

I am inclined to say that the Heat had good karma but at the end of the day that squad really has a good player development team.

Reallyyyy good. But Riley finding gems outside the top of the draft is nothing new. Did it for us too

Yeah, he has always been good at finding some gems. It hints at it in the article. I think there is something to it that they look for a certain type of player that plays with that edge, a competitive fire.

And defensively? All Tatum did was hold Clippers star Kawhi Leonard to 3-for-11 shooting when he was guarding him -- including 1-for-7 from the field in the fourth quarter and the two overtime periods, according to Second Spectrum's player tracking data.

Time to revisit the Tatum Simmons Ingram rankings?

That was the rumor at the time, and we see how JJ turned out. Probably better off rolling the dice with these 2 late 1sts

2. Ingram
3. Simmons

A strong competitive draft workout was the reason we drafted Knox tho.

I'm convinced Fizdale made that pick which pisses me off beyond belief.

Last time I checked Perry is the GM...

He's a bad drafter and terrible team builder.

I think all the players in that range were so close no one really stood out except Knox's workout. idk

Close? Knox wasn't even the best player on his own college team. All the resources at their fingertips, Pills went off of a workout...

Zion, Giannis, Doncic

Suddenly, the league is in good hands going forward.
