They have to keep him . He’s a much better PGOTF potential than whoever they have right now today.

Good thing I'm getting my crow in early...

Brother the crow never stops around these parts

dont need him? we need overall talent and he is talent. he is likely the best PG we have when he steps on the court.

The Magic got some trades to make.

Absolutely right. The Magic need to be in the talent acquisition business right now.

Bouknight to OKC?

The Sixers once took the BPA at the same position three years in a row.

Didn't work out so well.

What a weird pick by the Thunder.

Memphis won't be Giddey tonight

OKC must be GIDDEY with excitement.

If the Magic come out of this with Suggs and Bouknight I might give them an A++.

They went center though. If it was SG or SF they can easily move up/down one spot

And one of those was Joel Embiid. It worked out fine. It's everything after they stopped drafting centers that is the problem.

It's way easier to play 2 PG's together then to play 2 C's together. At least if between them there's enough size (which looks to be the case) and shooting (a bit more iffy).

Yeah Perkins is making himself look like a buffoon.

GS has to take Bouknight here, right? Kuminga is too much of a project, right?

shrink · Post #118 » by **shrink** » Fri Jul 30, 2021 12:43 am

The correct pun is:

OKC has some Giddey fans

I’m pretty surprised he went this early, but there was some late movement on him,

Who does Memphis take at 10 if Giddey, Wagner and Sengun are gone?

This is wild
