PHO is in pretty bad shape after going all in with Durant and Beal. LA will always find a way but Clips are locked with Nephew's 100M corpse for the next 2 years. NO giving up apparently, down 23 in the 4th... Series over. Hard to build a team around a guy like Zion. Unless he really slims...

OKC already looks scary and I hate it. Not scary as in being the favorites right now, but with their roster and stash of assets it would take some major fucking up or injury trouble to not contend over the next decade. I guess we can hope their ownership refuses to pay the luxury tax again a few...

Top 3 teams in the west look head and shoulders above the rest of the competition. East is a little flatter. Been VERY impressed with Orlando's defense. Have to imagine another big shake up coming for Phoenix, in addition to CLE, LAC, LAL gonna have to take a hard look in the mirror at WTF they...

what makes Dillingham intriguing are his elite handles and off the dribble pull up ability. We need a PG who can draw multiple defenders so he can create open shots. You also want that player to be a 3-point threat, so defenders can't go under. Dillingham is exactly that guy and can create shots...

That means they are then :lol At least I know who Kurt Helin from Basketballtalk is now...

that too, Reddit is terrible when it comes to criticism

The reality is we have ATL so far over a barrel that both teams seem to have an incentive to work together. Murray is cheaper than Young and I think a strong case can be made that he is the better overall player too. Murray seems like he could either be a multi year PG solution or at least a fine...

yet modern day recent NBA has had 3 coaches who won a Championship in their 1st year. Stheve Kerr Ty Lue Nicky Nurse Circustances helped? Of course. Meahwhile you have CIA Pop playing Bryn Bryn Forms, Sochan at PG along with Pops Pets at other positions. Coc Rivers is 17-19 and so far 1-2...

Man, back in the day, 6"3 used to be considered good size for a point guard. Now it's "slight frame." That's today's NBA for you.

I’d be more okay with this if we did it after they traded Young for picks (i.e., more or less guaranteeing the 2025 pick we keep and the pick swap in 2026 are good lottery picks).

As was stated, maybe we get a starter but if a Dilly or Castle ends up being a bench spark plug, that can still play out as a successful draft pick. We don’t have to hit home runs, though that would surely be nice, as much as avoid any potential busts such as the jury still being very much out on...

The odds are against us only if drafting a wing is the priority. Getting the preferred point guard shouldn't be an issue. Tbh, we should hope Wizards win the lottery because they'll almost certainly take Sarr if he's available. Pistons, Blazers, Hornets, Raptors and Memphis surely won't draft...

30-13 Adrian Griffin 17-19 Coc Rivers But "Griffin had to go". :lmao

How about we give ATL back their 27 FRP and Keldon for Murray? Then ATL could still offload Young for a lesser rated PG and draft pick(s) and go full rebuild? We still keep their next year pick which is likely now worth more, as potentially their 26 pick swap rights would also be. Murray...

Like I've said before, Its not who we want to pick, but who's available to be picked. That being said the odds are against us unless we get lucky again...and it was luck. Therefore I would go with who is a talented safe pick who could be a solid role player / sometime starter. Remember Wemby...

LeBowen I think some are chasing a unicorn at PG where only SGA or Doncic would meet the specs. On Murray, I recalled him as being a very competent playmaker his last season with us. I think some of the things we want at PG with some consensus is can stay in front of their man, can shoot, and...

Like one media commentator said, even if they were fully informed ahead of time of the scamminess of his contract for this Lie Social stock deal, most of them would have purchased it anyways. Interesting study on brainwashing, monkey see - monkey do behavior and conformity.

Seriously? He destroyed their reputation, set the franchise back years (without his antics, he'd have went for a Davis esque haul) and had they not lucked into Wembanyama, they'd still be reeling with no end in sight.

While every rookie point guard that's not a generational talent takes some time to adjust, a lot of playoff teams have starting point guards of similar stature, if not smaller. Brunson, Lillard, Garland, Maxey, Rozier (injured), Conley, Kyrie, Beal, CJ, D'Lo. That's 10/16 playoff teams that are...

Post quote repaid while padding my post count in triplicate. Here is another fun Dilly comp: Eric Bledsoe.

Of course Dillingham/his "camp" would prefer the Spurs, for two obvious reasons: 1) The gaping hole at lead guard and 2) The presence of the likely future best player in the league, who will give them a national spotlight again and a path to winning at the highest level. As for fit over Young,...

I think it should be said that most any draft prospect comp is ludicrous to a bona fide NBA star but some of these “weak draft” prospects are going to hit. Picking which ones, the optimistic comps are not only the most logical approach to me but a big part of the fun of it.

You can’t coach size as they say. How about a Sheppard to Steve Nash comp, any takers? Tall or not, Nash was an epic competitor and performer in the NBA, perhaps Sheppard is cut from a similar mold?

I feel like ESPN knows the time to keep milking the Warriors and Lakers for views is pretty much over, so the push is on for the younger players like Wemby and Ant. Especially Wemby cuz the Spurs sucked, they'll have a highish pick, and young players would be dumb not to be excited to potentially...

I'd love to but I'm not sure honestly. That's what (and then some) was expected with Scoot who was tagged as a potential genertional player. Dillingham is a better shooter but the transition to the NBA is harder than imagined sometimes, specially for undersized PGs. Not sure Dilly will give you...

I wanted to talk through the rationale for Stephon Castle - I previously thought that as long as his shot pans out, he's the prospect in the draft based on his two way ability. But recently I'm not so sure that I'd take him that high even if he becomes a league average or slightly above average...
