You are acting like Castle, even in this draft, is some cant miss prospect with no flaws. If he were that, he would be going number one, not 6. You just cant shake your own personal view of him IMO and see the forest for the trees on how the rest of the league seems to view not just him but the...
It might not, but the odds increase in 2026 and 2027 when the protection drops to 1-8. There will also be a ton of tankers next year, leading to some cheap wins.
You're so hung up on the number of spots instead of getting the guy they want who fits there. Also they were 7-15 with LaMelo in the lineup last year; they're not a playoff threat and they'd be stupid to pass on Castle just to get two second round picks back.
Honestly, I'm assuming the pick doesn't convey in '25. In fact I'd rather they bottom out now,than try to make the play in again, only to fail and keep the pick, then tank in '26. That's where we're really f*cked. Hopefully they land some talent soon and bounce back quickly.
That's old news,...
Uh… he was the #4 overall pick, so I think expectations should be expected. Nothing unfair about brickbats for a #4 overall pick who never scored more than 10 points in four seasons.
No one is obsessed with you but you literally have like twice as many posts as anyone else in this thread so if you're going to spout off constantly dont get butthurt when people call you out. Not to mention you act like you're some genius compared to everyone else and act like your shit doesn't...
This doesn’t even make sense:lol
Me: It’s a shit product that nobody tuned in to until Clark and it’s lost money every year of its existence. It’s still shit but if they embrace her the women might finally make more than Burger King wages
You: You’re just jealous because (insert random...
Moving Vuc and/or Lavine won’t really move the needle if the keep DD and put the ball in Giddeys hands. Everything beyond Caruso, who returned a starter level player, is conjecture. They’ve had several chances to blow it up, and this management team has passed every time.
Because if LaMelo is healthy and Brandon Miller keeps going and they re-sign Bridges, theres just no way to functionally fully tank in that scenario unless there are injuries (which is definitely a possibility with LaMelo). Especially since they will, in either scenario here, be adding a top 8 pick...
Honestly, I like it if true. Doesn't hurt to see what options are available out there, for sure I'd rather get a good player who fits rather than using it on Salaun.
They’re not a playoff team, as is, and why would they NOT tank with this upcoming draft? They would also only “miss out on the 2025 draft” if their pick is 15th or worse, the only scenario where it would convey to us. The only way they miss out on the choice picks at the top is if they don’t tank.
I dont know that they are tanking with LaMelo + Miller looking great + possibly brining back Bridges for the full season vs just a fraction of it like last year + having 6th pick.
Especially if what you are saying is true and Castle is “perfect” fit, then wouldn’t that just bolster their...
What? OKC turned a guy who couldn't be played in the playoffs and needed to be paid into one of the better role players in the league. Caruso is nothing like Gordon Hayward, who is clearly washed and has character issues, it's baffling how this could be spined into a negative for OKC. Spurs should...
...that wallowing in misery is part of the journey; the exasperation, the bitterness that the lion's share of the time finally leads to victory. Without it, without that denial and misery you don't know. You have no idea.
