Guys, you know how rich people will go pay full sticker price for a car, and even though they're technically being ripped off it doesn't matter to them in the least because they have more money than they really need? That's us with draft picks right now.


We spent 30% of our assets, that's not insignificant.


Also I think your math is off quite a bit there. Coming into tonight we have something like 19 firsts between now and 27.


only counting other's teams picks. We have 7 more picks from other teams. It's not like we are gonna trade our own picks in the next years.

Is the pick they sent of a higher value compared to ours ?

Surprised we didn’t take on kemba again instead of giving a 3rd first .


No I think that's the 2025 Milwaukee pick they acquired in the Grant trade.

I think we couldn't take Kemba because he was a Thunder last season

But we don't have room on the roster for 3 FRP . Presti will still be very busy the next weeks to trade some players away, and surely he will get some more picks. We have too much picks for the moment. OK Dieng might be a mystery for us, but trust Sam.

Who has value on our roster? likely not getting FRPs.

Could get a 2nd for Roby.

Teams looking to add 2023 FRPs and we traded 3 of them!!! (Detroit one won't convey but at least one and maybe two if Beals stays).

Oh well...

Are we literally going to have two guys named Jaylin/Jalen Williams on the roster? This is real?

well I don't like who we picked but Presti slowly trying to accelerate on the rebuild (by drafting another lottery player) while building through the draft.

It’s hard to have a strong opinion about this pick. Obviously if the thunder were too enamored with anyone in this range they wouldn’t have traded 30.

Do you like Dieng/Williams?

I'm really pissed so can't imagine those who don't like Chet and our picks 11 and 12 :(

I do remember watching Jaylin during their tourney run and thinking he looked like a guy with a puncher's chance of becoming an NBA player. Better that JRE? Hard to say.
