Well Silver was Stern's number two for awhile. So, the probable successor.

4 SRPs? Not that much..

They had to give up the DEN 1st to get Duren too, right?

They got the MIL25FRP though so that's pretty similar, I understand them wanting 2025 FRP since they have 3 FRPs in 2023 already.

It's not a terrible trade since everyone seems to think next year is a great draft, but I would still rather have Eason or Duren (make the two centers battle it out)

yeah at least the pick would have upside, a lot can happen in 3 years. The chances of Denver's pick being #21 or better after having Murray and Porter returning to action are basically zero unless Jokic gets hurt or something.

So Wood went for #29 and 12m of dead salary?

I'm not high on Denver being a high seed in the West, they are painfully thin. Will need another monster season from Jokic

I think Rockets made the right choice going for draft picks, they seem to be doing well in the drafts.

Those other picks seem unlikely to convey in 2023 based on protections.

NYK23FRP and DAL23FRP convey

Detroit FRP won't likely convey

While Grant went for Walker, Duren, a 2nd and a swap 2nd this year. Plus god knows whatever else since the trades not officially done.

I remember thinking it was crazy we (Detroit) let him walk, I don’t feel that way anymore

Love the Koloko pick the length and shot blocking are areas Toronto needed to address. Having the ability to make free throws is going to help

Now if Toronto could get another second in the next handful of picks and grab Hardy I would call the draft a win for us

So the Thunder drafted Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams? That's going to be fun for announcers.

Post #675 » by **MoneyTalks41890** » Fri Jun 24, 2022 3:20 am

OKC now has two guys named Jalen Williams (spelled differently)

Post #676 » by **VCfor3** » Fri Jun 24, 2022 3:20 am

Detroit is killing this draft. Houston too.

Is OKC going to end up letting their cap space dissolve? I mean they win tonight too with the Jaylin Williams/Jaylen Williams duo forcing announcers and ESPN box scores to fight on a nightly basis to stay accurate.

I prefer to look at it as Tyty (20th on my board, was mocked to houston at 17 a few places), Boban(vibes), two seconds and dead salary
