Bro, I would lose my mind!


They keep saying Free agents wont sign if we aint a .500 team, but I think they'd make an exception in this case.


If we are blessed to get two of the top four picks, I don't think many of us would be too disappointed if top free agents choose not to sign with us. But if the organization is able to develop what we have now, and get two more top picks, our odds will increase tremendously in signing a superstar free agent.

big fan of Jalen Johnson. he's a consistent jumper away from being a star. already a pretty high floor b/c he does everything else so well: defense, rebounding, passing + plays w/ great energy

after drafting Obi tho, hard to see where he'd fit. the FO really needs to prioritize shooting

He’s basically college Ben Simmons, but at least has somewhat of a jumper right now.

Its a very slim chance that Dallas wont be at least the #8 seed!

Harden is leaving and the Spurs will be bad again! Only New Orleans can net us two lottery picks


Imagine if Doncic got injured and missed some significant time?

Imagine we secure 2 picks in the top 4 ... :D


Man listen, even if we're picking 5th and 19th in the 2021 draft it's going to be epic. We had 8, 27, and 38 in this super weak draft, and there are reasons for excitement. Next year is going to be UNREAL as long as we hold the picks!

He played in 1 game and made a 3, I think it took ben simmons 10 years to do this

yeah after watching him he definitely strikes me more as a 4 than a 3. Tankathon lists him as a SF/PF, I don't see him being a 3 in the NBA

yep, keep the picks!

it's pretty exciting going on tankathon and seeing that we have the 2nd most draft capital (behind the Thunder) for 2021 ahead of the 3rd best team by a wide margin

So i guess that Dallas pick is way more valuable then the Haters tried downplaying
