It’s always 1 all star in a draft…Years like this when it’s supposed to be weak is when scouts and front office folks really earn their bread and show what kinda work they really putting in

Yup. Some dudes gone earn upper level jobs off this draft alone, if certain dudes pan out. Boys really have to work and do their homework this draft

Facts…Just like the last time it was a horrible draft in 2013, when the dudes that drafted Giannis lived off that and dipped to Orlando for bigger bags

Facts.. can’t be all busts, gonna be a couple gems and some solid players. Interesting to see how this plays out.

Not to mention there are countless hyped #1-10 pics etc who never panned out. And we know quite a few players who were not highly drafted that were great.

He took that team as far as they were gonna go so no

But had strained relationship with players so yeah

It baffles my mind how Chauncey still has a coaching job.

I expect Cade and Jalen to ball out this year to get that same extension. That type of money will motivate anyone lol

This just made me a lil sad

NBA money is crazy

Making 54 mill/yr at 22

Well earned after turning it around post-sophomore slump to put up career highs across the board and get his first AS appearence.

He became a much more well rounded player last season

 

[rolaholic]

Definitely gonna be the one everybody's keeping an eye on this summer...

 

[ballinsam23]

Since this draft is trash, who says no to a Kyle Kuzma for Houston's #3 pick

Hard to coach a bad team

harder than coaching a title contender ?

 

[Moheezy]

Smh...I don't know, I'd imagine Raptors fans won't be too thrilled maxing him out?

The Mavs-Wizards relationship now is kinda like when dudes would get their cousins to join their fantasy leagues, so that they can have someone to make sweetheart trades with whenever they needed it.

If some Kleber and Hardaway for Kuzma **** gets submitted, the league needs to veto it and investigate these franchises

 

[smedroc]

Someone needs to tell the Rockets front office they're not in position to be making 'win now' moves.

I'd actually love to have Kuz and Tyus Jones in Philly. I much prefer that + depths over PG + minimum contracts.

It's "only" the 25% max, so it will age better as the cap increases thanks to the new tv deal.
