Change of culture and expectations.i guess minny needs to make the playoffs but i don't see how getting swept by the warriors is going to do them more good than a lottery pick
once you make the off's you EXPECT to be there every year. That needs to be the goal

I dont see Jonathan Issac slipping out the top 3. I ultimately think he will be taken at 2 behind Markelle Fultz

I do. Mainly because I don't think he's capable of producing in the league for the first couple of years. That kid is a project compared to guys like Fultz and Smith and Jackson.
He's this year's Dragan Bender.

Trade fail and it was confirmed the second they made that trade.
With that said, when teams look to shop their pick for a vet, this is kinda what they should expect, only they better be sure they can keep that vet. In Orlando's case they simply didn't need to stock up on more starting bigs.
Dwight Howard
Superstar
teams are willing to swing at the fences though, him being 6'10, combined with his athleticism and promising shooting ability probably have gm's salivating. I dont see that combo of potential slipping beyond 3. I agree he will look raw his first few season.

But that's what I'm saying. The talent is there, but either you better be ready to lose for a long time or you better be so stacked you can wait for him, but you won't get early returns on Isaac

if the Lakers keep their pick I could them taking him, and playing Ingram at SG when Issac is ready. on the flip, they could take Ball or Smith and play Russell at SG
Has any team mismanaged a stockpile of young talent worse than the Magic in recent years?

76ers core could have been.
Giannis
Porzingis
Embiid
in hindsight, the Okafor pick was really bad because now they are going to have to move him for pennies probably.
