KOC saying that following teams are trying to move up to lottery using their picks: CLE (20), POR (14), and TOR (19) FWIW anyway

Its one year left. Player option (he will obviously take it) at 21 millions... DAY has 2 years at more than 30 millions x year... In both situations, in my wiew, the price is high but we do it because of the draft picks....the picks are the real price Portland and Chicago have to pay and if the...

The PG spot is trending bigger there was a study that this is the tallest and heaviest the PG position has been in 70 years. The league height is trending toward the middle with like sized players. Shooting can be found on any position now. Big men smaller, guards bigger.

https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/page/NBADraft24-40306325/nba-draft-2024-debating-need-value-30-round-1-picks Latest mock from ESPN has Givony/Woo each doing a mock: the former going off of team need and the latter going off of value/BPA. Interestingly enough they both end up with...

Isn’t the big issue that he hasn’t been able to work out during this process bc he’s hurt? Basically, he hasnt been able to mollify team concerns about size while showing his other skillsets etc. That seems like a legit thing to me. Same reason fans here are saying “well NO WAY spurs take Topic...

Most three and D only guys go later in the draft. What are you talking about? The problem here is that he doesn't do anything beside those two things and that he's questionable on both. A lot of support in picking him doesn't even have to do with him as a player, it's him as a template, which...

Somehow walking away with those two would be my ideal outcome. I also think SA will make a play for Garland, which is the only reason I’m interested in ZR.

First cogent post you've put down in more than 3 months of Sundays. Congratulations, junior.

If it comes down to weight, then fine. But then why are measurements being ignored in many other cases? A full 22% of the league is 6'3" or shorter. No, the league is not trending bigger. Yes, small guards have gone deep in the playoffs or have won championships. Yes, if I'm not mistaken,...

Vecenie's latest had him going out of the lottery. To me that's amazing. The narrative around the draft nowadays is so dependent on measurements, which I guess is okay to a certain degree, but it's so selectively applied and only to serve certain things. Reed Sheppard is widely considered top...

...thank Christ.

Is the price worth it though? What is his contract situation?

They wouldn't be investing in a weak draft, they'd be getting the players they want, really. I'm avaricious enough that I don't like giving up first round picks, but this in theory is the sort of move you'd want to make.

...but he did. You avoided that trap he'd set for ya, Dumper. But you did highlight it thru said avoidance.

...if it's worthy soup a fork is nary problem. Nary

Perhaps that hot Jew chick in the shit hole will pay for it now, Effy? Por favor? "Yeah, yeah, pour some more."

Plain spoken truth.

only because, in my wiew, we want Chicago 2024 draft pick...then if Ball solves his injury problems and can play again (very very very difficult it happens, so the decision from Chicago to get rid of him and his 2024 salary) he could become a good part of the team or a treadable piece...

Woo said this guy is dropping along with Holland.

Can't get a big wing like this anywhere but the draft. Teams hold unto this guys regardless of their lifecycle. A lot hold on to 2 or more of these. They are frictionless ceiling raisers. 4 and 8 is steep but this is the a puzzle piece you can't get at any point after the draft.

BOS and DAL are even in the series with Porzingis off the court. BOS is + 25 with Porzingis on the court. I believe he'll try to play even on one leg. But the docs probably wouldn't let him do.

Best wings are Buzelis and Risacher Best PG's are Sheppard and Castle

That wasn't shot at you. but whatever "intel" they might have, none of theses media guys could say who the top 4 teams are gonna draft now. Again, teams might not even know themselves and they wouldn't anyway let media guys know it. Lots of smoke screens and misdirection too. The only guy (but...

BWright was a DET guy after all. I support this trade and would be thrilled but Risacher and Castle are my #1 and #2 personally so I'm biased. Fans talk about consolidating in picks and this would be a good return on bundling in some future assets. ATL has the #1 so either that player or the...

Why would we want Lonzo Ball?

it's an interesting scenario, that the Spurs might try to somehow snag Risacher and Castle. when talking about building an identity, that is based on defense, this would of course be a huge step. there might be the question, why invest in an allegedly weak draft, but there could be the answer,...

My ideal off season is to trade for draft picks in this draft so Wemby gm can be completely at work and no first me ego nba player is on the walk of a well costructed nba team with future championship goal. My wiew is that ideal trade partners could be Portland (because they probably want badly...
