:banderas: We’re getting Dom 2k Julius propaganda. It’s a matter of time before that hating ass Mark Jackson burner account joins


He’s getting one on one looks again and he’s pretty much unstoppable in those scenarios. All cause of Brunson (and Fournier) keeping the defense honest.
Damn you're right, no shot at Wemby. Sounds like our best case scenario is packaging picks to move up if someone slips or just trusting the scouts and standing pat.
Even that I don’t see. Remember when we thought we could trade up for Shaedon Sharpe? Unless this draft is deep, but I’m not sweating it. This gonna be another year where I don’t have to worry about the draft until like May.:blessed:

Moving up is a option. No way they take two rookies. They have too many picks and Thibs hates rookies. Adding multiple guys to this team on a rookie deal is not ideal.

It’s why I keep saying they do a deal to upgrade the roster. They should only add someone who will be able to get minutes. If a star hits the market that is a easy trade, but adding some overall
Wendell Carter is nice and Bol Bol has been amazing. Their front court is loaded with talent.
I don’t think they are the bigs needed around Franz and Paolo. Both of them are more scoring oriented and they probably need centers to get rebounds and defend the paint. Like we saw every big they had yesterday and what they really needed was more rebounds and more defense.

Agreed on the upgrade. It was one of my predictions during the KFTV writers' roundtable:

I feel Leon Rose will look aggressive in the market this season. This front office can’t afford a second consecutive letdown season. They still have that stockpile of draft capital and a few positional logjams to sort out as well. Thanks to Victor Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson, and the Thompson twins, the league ought to have more sellers than buyers. That means opportunistic front offices might come out of the trade deadline as big winners. Rose tried for Ivey and Mitchell in the off-season, and he’ll be back at it if the right players are available.

My guess is that they'll keep testing the waters on driving up Fournier's and Cam's values for that purpose. Package picks and prospects, plus hold Fournier in case of salary matching needs.

Yep, yep… we just got to see who is on the market. I think they look to keep Cam though, he’s a rebuild project with upside. Basically they need someone who is a legit from three to keep opponents honest. If Grimes comes back and is that guy the options of who they can trade Fournier for opens up by a lot.

What team is this? :wow:

I just want to point out that all those lobs happened while I Hart Radio was on the floor. He pulls that 5th defender to the arc cause you have to respect his shot. If Mitch is on the floor his man is just gonna sink into the post regardless of where he is or what he's doing. That's my only issue with Mitch. He has no offensive game.
