Philly bouls, Trust the Process
It seems like Presti and OKC's plan is to take on bad contracts in exchange for first round picks and then flipping the year in exchange for another bad contract and first round picks. Not a bad play if you're a rebuilding team with cap space to spare.
AKA Hinkie's Process without the public ridicule

Philly drafted Vasilije Micic in the 2nd round in 2014. They traded him in the Horford trade last year. That guy just won Euroleague MVP. With Moses Brown and Horford gone, that opens up a big opportunity for him cuz all they have is Poku and Bazley

There was talk of the Bulls trying to trade for him:francis:

gift? we had the worse record in the league, we deserve the #1 draft pick.

You can blame your broke boi owner for that and the crappy assets he got in return for Harden. The worst record doesn’t automatically mean the #1 pick especially with how the lottery odds have changed.

that part is obvious and has been that way for a while, but the rockets getting lucky and winning the lotto isn't some gift. i don't even care about winning the lotto, i just want it in the top 4.

My wife came up with a great trade just now. Lakers SnT Dennis to Boston for Marcus Smart. Smart fills in that defensive void left by Danny Green from a year ago and Dennis gets to start with Horford who is always played extremely well with. This also makes Boston a legit squad outside of just Tatum and Brown. Romeo starts at the 2.

TYRONE GA!
Not even the identifying stars part which is obviously important, but also there were years where the Celtics had more draft picks than open roster spots.



Ideally? Lonzo. More realistically? Somebody like Rubio. They need a playmaking PG.

Lonzo wouldn't be bad but they don't have the cap room

Was your wife wearing a Lakers jersey when she made this proposal?

so who's OKC taking with the 4th pick? if Jalen Green and Cade and Mobley are the 1st three picks, it seems like OKC would prolly pick up Kuminga instead of a guard

i think they tryna get Emoni next year to pair him with Shai tho
