To be a little more precise, I think Chicago is going for keeping Zach Lavine happy.

I think that’s the right move. I’ve kind of changed my stance on building a team. Too many people want to tear everything down if you aren’t the warriors dynasty. Until a team runs out of assets, I understand the value of being competitive, especially after extended tanking.

Yup, me too. I just want a team to have a direction. The only thing I can’t take is teams being mediocre without picking a lane. Be interesting. It’s great to be champs, but it’s also pretty great rooting for a team you like and can watch grow.

It feels like they're banking on making some offers that teams can't refuse come draft day. But to do that requires pole position that they don't have. It's vexing.


screwed. We are screwed.

We have SGA, tons of picks and waiting on a 48%/52% gamble though

Step away from the ledge. It isn’t that bad.


Was kidding. It just looked so great before this season but can't complain overall with SGA overperforming (and Dort as well)

Well you may have to tell me to step away from the ledge on draft night.

Thought Wagner hadn't been bad for the Wizards, compared to their other bigs at least.

Dang, wanted a look at Brown or Hutchinson.

Would love to get in on the Lauri and Ball sweepstakes. Bring them both in...

Curious about the pick protections but I applaud Denver being proactive.

We need to trade for Bol Bol and Tacko Fall to get more fans here.

We have their pick lottery protected from '23-'25, so they must be unprotecting the '23 pick?
