Thibs better be looking to trade dude right now


This breh Kawhi is low key starting to piss me off.

Nati breh how you living when you coming back to run with us in the league :ohlawd:



Also yeah Jimmy is way more into being visible in the public eye he will be more of a distraction all season with his unhappiness. He doesn't have any teams in mind luckily so wolves aren't gonna lose him for nothing

Deandre Ayton >>> Chandler Hutchinson
its hard to gauge where our draft position would have been without Niko - also who would have thought he would play at such a high level? we were all ready to bush him anyways cause of his inconsistencies

also, WCJ might be a top 3 value in this draft anyways - so >>

for the most part people thought that Pelicans pick would be closer to the middle of the draft, remember that trade was made AFTER Boogie went down with his achilles. Many had them falling out of the playoffs after that

even in hindsight I would make that move again, especially since WCJ looks so solid

Ummm No ...not really ... upon his return the team went 10-2 from December to January... there is no question that without him the teams record would have certainly been worse and having the worst record you possibly can is the only guaranteed way to improve your lotto chances ...we only finished 5 or 6 games off of Phoenix


also who would have thought he would play at such a high level?

So ...they re-signed him thinking what? .. he would play at a shytty level? Lol ... that’s an even worse admission ... bottom line is NOTHING good could have been the result of re-upping a 26 year old player during a supposed rebuild year .. either his quality play hurts your teams losing record or he’s stealing development minutes from the youngster that are on the same age timeline ... Niko was not in the future plans for the bulls because of age which made that decision even dumber


we were all ready to bush him anyways cause of his inconsistencies

So then WHY give him a contract ... again that’s a terrible admission


also, WCJ might be a top 3 value in this draft anyways - so >>

And he might be a bust .. we can all throw out random predictions... being top 3 from the draft doesn’t really mean much without context anyways .. it might turn out that there is only 1 or maybe 2 truly game changing impact players from this draft so what does being top 3 mean in that scenario... also whatever WCJ does won’t change the fact that when rebuilding you would always prefer the higher pick ... Kawhi was late lotto does that mean you’d rather have the 14th pick as opposed to the 1st in any given draft? No of course not


for the most part people thought that Pelicans pick would be closer to the middle of the draft, remember that trade was made AFTER Boogie went down with his achilles. Many had them falling out of the playoffs after that

You don’t make a team worse by sending them more talent


even in hindsight I would make that move again, especially since WCJ looks so solid

:scust:You gotta tell yourself what you gotta yourself

If Jabari Parker stays healthy he will be in the conversation for MIP next season
