London Bridge in Lake Havasu...of course we went there in October last year and there was a swingers convention....so you might want to wait 11 months before jumping.

Good move for Philly trading a late round 1st to get off one of the worst contracts in league. OKC the next few years will be interesting...make the big move or just keep rolling picks over?

Haliburton(lack of athleticism, ugly slow release, lack of strength), Toppin (defense), Avdija(free throws, speed) and okoro(shooting) have even bigger warts though. Okongwu might be injury prone.

Philly fans attacking Horford’s sister the the trade

Facepalm to the max but I’m not surprised after what happened with the Vikings and Eagles

Philly fans are the worst in American sports in my opinion, no time for them at all.

This leads me to believe that the Hornets and Minnesota could not find a deal. The question is whether or not Minnesota finds anything with other teams.

I know a few may be disappointed with that, but if we do keep the pick if makes me feel that we're high enough on the potential of our chosen prospect that we weren't just willing to trade down for the sake of it.

My biggest fear going into this draft was us doing something like accepting a future first to drop 8 spots or something.

Chicago is the only one that can move up and really I don’t want their youngs. Hold up with Charlotte was they wanted to give us bridges and we wanted PJ would be my guess.

How great would it be if warriors 2021 own pick is higher than the pick they get from the wolves LOL

Seems like posturing from the Hornets. Leaking to their local guy that they are out. I bet they are not out.

Or CHR is trying to scare teams off so their standing offer isn't beaten. Just saying...

You never know with any of this.

Terrible news for Klay. I guess the timing is good if it was gonna happen?

How would this leak accomplish scaring teams off? Rosas is having discussions with every team, it isn’t like only the Hornets have a pipeline, currently.

My guess is that the Hornets made their offer, it wasn’t enough, and the Hornets leaked to their guy that a trade couldn’t he reached.

Hornets fans think that Bonell guy is a clueless hack.

I lived in Havasu before moving to Flag. You're not going to do much damage to yourself jumping off London Bridge and it's 200 miles away.

I would not trade for Bridges... Not good. Please draft Wiseman and keep him..... We do not want the guy who will not play defense and can't shoot or the guy who doesn't love basketball.

Interesting perspective. I look at it as some of the players you listed only have 1 or 2 negatives, but Ball (passing), Wiseman (size, athleticism), and Edwards(athleticism) only have 1 or 2 clear cut positives.

Over simplifying both our POV I'm sure, but that's where I am coming from. I see Wiseman as being able to fit and making teams adapt to us, but I'd rather spend 25% of cost on a more proven college player or someone who destroyed him in high school who can do most of the same things.
