I’d prefer Jovic at 22 and Hardy at 29.

Can we then sign him to a 10 year extension and trade him to the euroleague so we never have to watch him abuse us again?

I love it. Laravia might seem like a reach to some, but I've seen sources who love him.

Jovic at 22 and Kamagate/Koloko at 29

one of the more informative COVID era sports content was Bill Simmons doing NBA re-drafts from like 1996-2006

it really sobered my excitement about draft since they would have a hard time even getting through the top 10 with guys that mattered, everyone after that would be meh, ultimately roster fillers

I called it. Is there a pat yourself on the back emoji?

Part of me wants to know what memphis knows about LaRavia that everyone else doesnt. Because their recent draft record is top notch.

Jovic and Lidell please? Heck you can even draft Kessler at 29

Hopefully those other 2nds they use to to stash, trade up, or trade for future picks. Please don't sell them.

I would have traded 19 for Clarke in a heartbeat.

So, new debate: Walker Kessler, not a good pick at #19, but maybe a good pick at #29?

I wish they used one of those seconds in the trade with Memphis instead of a future one.

And a better pick at 40?

Spurs get Branham, a little lower than some might have expected.

younggunsmn · Post #198 » by **younggunsmn** » Fri Jun 24, 2022 2:06 am

The Hornets got the bucks '25 pick and 4 second rounders for Duren. I'd be furious if we did that.

Laravia was my favorite draft guru Sam Vecenie's "guy"
I don't know where he mocked him but he's talked about him on his podcast since the fall

has that @sshole competitive streak that a lot of the Memphis players seem to have

Hardy, liddel, jovic, beauchamp, kessler is fine with me
