Why is Shabazz still on the board..?

Because he isn't any good.

 

[moiety]

Utah got their man

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

...................... The **** flip doing

This **** made me laugh for some reason.

Wowowowowow @ Dallas getting rid of the THIRTEENTH pick for two measly 2nd rounders. Not surprised they traded since we know what the goal was but they could've done better than that. ****** got flexed by Ainge at the last minute.

 

[shox23]

The tanking this year will be disgusting

 

[carver]

The harden trade wouldn't have been worth it even if they got a top 5 pick.. It's just they knew they couldn't keep him so they tried to get the most they could.. Probably would have been better to wait til end of year and trade him for 1st pick

That's my thing the while "knew they couldn't keep him" talk. If OKC would of been on a 20 game win streak with the #1 spot on the WC I don't think harden would of left so easy. Instead they gave him the finger and bounced him out ASAP. Doesn't matter now though

He def would have left for that max contract money

He was a restricted free agent (would have been one now) so OKC would have still held the cards.
I don't mind Adams. And don't be so sure he can't play soon, let's not forget Perkins literally just turned in the worst NBA playoffs performance in NCA history. If Adams can manage a 0 PER, that is literally an improvement. We could have gone McCollum there, but we already have Reggie and Olynyk was never in play because Presti likes guys with long wingspans. And yes, we massively lost the James Harden trade.

Any team that could have offered max would have and OKC couldn't match a max deal anyway

If bazz is a starter, rookie of the year. He's a big time plauer

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Adams > Olynyk in the NBA

Yes they could. They just chose not to. In fact, because KD has the max max and Russell Westbrook has the 5 yr, no matter what offer sheet he signed, OKC's match would only be up to the 4 yrs 58mil max

 

[moiety]

Whoops, my bad. Meant to say 'This is Minnys pick btw' in my last post.

Unlike most of you, I like Bazz a lot. I think he will be a good player in the L

 

[hsalem]

Knicks will be happy if they end up with Crabbe or Dieng

Wait I'm confused- did Philly give NO a #1, or did NO give Philly a #1?

 

[carver]

Hope bazz prove me wrong..

 

[shoeking2101]

Bazz will be their 2 guard however this won't stop Minny from pursuing OJ Mayo, or JR Smith

With you on that. He's athletic, competitive, and a beautiful touch. You can always work on ball handling
