Y'all acting like today is the picks. Today just the positioning for a rebound season.
Id say the higher the better but sometimes you get fukked into making a popular pick Vs some dog you might need

Are teams really going to mortgage up first round picks and future assets just to get off of bad contracts and mitigate the losses of COVID-19? I mean it's really just one year before the summer of 2021 when the majority of them will have plenty of cap space. Why give up those assets for a short term gain?

I don't think so, but this might be the year to move down since there's no clear difference between a guy in the 10s and 20s. The only team I could see selling is OKC since part of their ownership has financial problems and they have a whopping 13 first rounders in the next 7 drafts.

The problem with the draft this year is that there's not that one impact player that GS needs year 1 to get them back as a true contender. Wiseman won't be that player right away nor will Edwards and Melo.

You guys know I'm a Homer, but I believe enough in our core and front office that I have no doubt that if we're healthy, we'll be in the mix for the chip..

I'm in on Wiseman.

God please dont let Okoro go to Chicago :dame: Idk how bad the lottery gotta treat em to get them outta of there, but pls :unimpressed:


When I watched Chicago cause of Otto and Sato but with reference to what they were before..
I thought prior man Kris Dunn is great deffensively. But they could not shoot the ball for shyt and had no spacing.. fukking Jerian grant who's now on my squad who pre draft I watched lose a horse game to a girl on the female squad couldn't shoot. I hate him shooting shots to this day during bubble ball. They say his percentages increased during G league but I swear he sucks as a shooter.
Give me Nesmith if I draft top ten and the other guys are gone so I could be mad about why didn't they pass him the ball. And comfortably cut their ass.

Laurie solved shooting problems but then the game I watched he was being abused by Melo in OKC. And I thought are you really gonna build around a defensive liability .. I mean dirk succeeded once but only cause the wizards had a fire sale. Gave 3 starters to the mavericks. Deshawn, caron and Brendan haywood. Who could defend.

When I see coby white and Zach I say the fundamental spacing issues from the guards isn't there anymore. And if they went max and attacked everyone both can put pressure. Otto is mid. Slow footed. No dog in him. Beal and wall and the coach would beg him to go all out but he was too chill. Terrific shooter though but Iove Bertans more. Even though I didn't when I'd look at ottos high percentages and be like wtf is a Joe Ingles and Bertans who were in the same range.

Keep coby and lavine. You are better off at power forward with okwengu than Laurie cause when it comes to squad building you always have to get guys who make up for the fact your main guy is food.
