Agreed. Watch the Wiz take someone like Elie Okobo at #15 though

Based on DA’s reaction they might go big and reach if they have to. At least that’s their need.

But that Jerome Robinson news might as well seal it. They want someone Beal might like more at PG

I was wondering if they'd reach that far on Robinson, or maybe Spellman.

Spellman was the guy I thought of especially once Jontay went back to school

Well we know this much Mozgov will sit quietly on the bench behind Zeller and that other big they got from the Knicks...Whereas Howard knows he’s better than them.

mozgov popped shyt at marks directly for half the season

I don’t get the Dwight Howard move at all for Charlotte

*adjusts mock later*


Media day in NYC so if you’re in town they’re usually around the W on 43rd

it don't change much

kemba still just as available as ever. even moreso now that we've got more room

Why is ayton considered #1 when Big men are irrelevant in the nba these days.

You have to have 5 guys on the perimeter these days unless he can shoot like embiid or davis he will be worthless

My only guess is Howard had zero trade value around the league and was causing problems in the locker room again. Also they might be trying to tank. So they took back Mozgov and will make more trades soon.

How nuts has DH's story become?? So much talent, but now he's just passed around.....sh*ts crazy.

He’s a Hall or Fame player who is still wasted talent

Hell nah so in other words I refuse to understand how this deal made since I’m positive another team could of swapped at least an expiring center for him what about a dude like Gortat, rolo?, And I’m sure some teams had some wings on expiring deals that they could of moved dudes like Tony snell delladova

I think cats are thinking Ayton is a plodding back to the basket type I see him out on the perimeter he’s not as bad of a defender as people make it out to be he’s very athletic and strong and looks like he will only get stronger over time...He may not end up a 2 way Center but he has that next big time allstar Center vibe a guy who will be putting up 25/12 who can all provide a bit of spacing...

I’d pick that over Doncic, Porter, and the other prospects 9/10

MPJ isn’t gonna redshirt unless he was red-flagged, which would kill his stock entirely

Now Goodman is talking about it

No doubt....

Gortat is a bigger headcase than Dwight's ever been. Mozgov is easier yearly than Dwight, even though his deal is longer.

Its not a deal you do alone for either team. Gotta see what follows next.

Same with Derrick Rose. If you would have told me this is where they are in 2010 I would have smacked you

 

[NatiboyB]

Now Goodman is talking about it

Is he doing this to force his way to the Bulls? It seems like him and the bulls are already sold on each other the same as Hutchinson

 

[tremonthustler1]

Now Goodman is talking about it

Depending on the team that could boot him to no higher than 13 (Jerry West having 2 picks would ease things a bit)
