Looks like the shine fell off for OKC too… Giddey going top 6 and picked over Kuminga, who’d have thought? :wink:


Well unlike your boy going to draft pick capital.. which I fully expect him to be the next victim ( I kid I kid ).. THE CHAMPION team GSW agreed with me on Kuminga. They ( think it was Kerr and Lacob ) that said they had him at 5 and thought OKC was going to jump on him when we didn't pick him. They thought OKC was crazy and thus took Kuminga :D


The same champions who didn’t make the playoffs last season and were 2nd last in the league the year before? Same ones who picked Wiseman over Ball and Haliburton? Sounds like they were drafting off mock draft hype instead of game. Me and Henny will enjoy watching Giddey build a dynasty in OKC alongside Mann and SGA, only to be rivalled by the the Houston Sengun-Garuba-Christopher-Green big 4, and the Suggs-lead dynasty of course.


Yup.. the team that drafted Curry Klay and Green which now drafted Kuminga and Moody... I understand.

Nice combo of players. Looks as nice as Durant, Harden, Westbrook and Ibaka, who were all drafted by the same team that picked Giddey and Mann.

Who knows, Warriors might’ve been smart enough to draft Giddey as well - if they’d had the chance. They got left with Hypeminga instead.

Giddy is like KD... he will win/can win only when he decides to leave and joing Kuminga/Moddy in GSW

I'm guessing the Grizzlies really wanted him and possibly heard Orlando had a trade with OKC at 16 lined up if he fell there. Then they made the jump to 10 to guarantee they got him. I mean clearly they thought he wouldn't get to 17...

If that is the case, then why not trade with SAS? think the 11th would have been cheaper. No need for the NOP hefty price tag
