It's still the double draft year and I don't think the Cavs have a second round pick that year.Stillwater wrote:Giannis locked up means that Bucks pick aint worth much now

Injuries and melt-downs are always a possibility in the NBA.
Dude isn't coming here to fight for minutes with Nance, Okoro, Cedi and Windler. A team like the Thunder can offer him a lot more playing time.Stillwater wrote:Dzanan Musa was waived by Det after being dumped there in a trade with Nets.
He is a really good sized sf and on ball player who can create some and knows how to
play in a system based on heavy movement so I think if that is the ultimate goal this season
as it appears to be he could be a decent rotation player on this roster from day 1.
instead of him being a nobody on a iso dominant roster like the Nets he could make some noise here
and I think they should take a flier on him immediately.

this is pre draft video I found and I think he was misused in BKN

I don't think much is set with the Cavs roster. That said, Windler didn't play last year because he was held out with shin splints and the Cavs drafted Okoro who looked pretty good in preseason. Cedi was the only starter with a positive RDPM and shot 38% from 3 point range last season. If you're Musa, and you're looking for a landing spot, it's probably not with a team that already has two or three viable options at SF all of whom are younger than 26.

I agree with that logic to some extent if Musa wasnt such a versatile 2/3 scorer with size to defend 2-4 and hes an underrated playmaker sort of like Cedi. I get your point that maybe he would rather have an easier path to minutes...
Its unlikely they go after him for those reasons but I think he is one of those players you try to get regardless

Musa was just traded to, and immediately cut by, the Pistons who aren't exactly stocked with young talent. Maybe the teams who are passing on him are going to regret it, but there's a good deal of rose colored glasses syndrome when it comes to young guys who are available on the waiver wire. Nine times out of ten, they're available for a reason and the team letting that player go are doing so in favor of whoever the 15th player on their roster is. For every Danny Green, there's a100 guys that are career G League players.

Also, I think that Jrue trade is going to haunt the Bucks. They just don't have enough shooters to justify spending that much to acquire a guy who can't shoot.

I wonder if the Cavs were willing to part with Nance to jump up to No. 1, and Minny countered with No. 17. But the Wolves could probably have Nance and Okoro, or Nance and Okongwu, or Nance and whoever.Stillwater wrote:jbk1234 wrote:Wiseman looks legit.
