Their Papa was a rolling stone, wherever he hung his hat was his home???
Nursing homes or pushing up daisies for the most part. I'm still alive and remember how great he was.

I have no idea who they will draft but will continue to speculate needlessly. I will say this, likely projecting here, but it feels like Wright has a certain look he now goes for: clean cut, wholesome, handsome, possibly Canadian, likely a player raised by two parents. It sure seems that way for the last little bit. Caleb Houstan looks exactly like that, so it does worry me a bit.
I really wish they’d follow the Grizzlies approach more or less: high defensive floor, gritty, some offensive upside, doesn’t matter if they are older. Those guys can still continue to improve. Young players now have so little training, it doesn’t matter if they are 22, they are still raw, in my opinion.
Are the teams legally obligated to fulfill their promise? And so the agents doing the leak to make sure their clients have other options in case?
I don’t know about other teams, but the Spurs word would be good. I would think that any team that reneged would be dead to the major agencies. Free agency would become a major task just to fill your roster out.
Hmm this could be pick #4 by the Spurs
Wolverines fans I've run into tend to like Diabate more than Houstan, who they think was mistaken for staying in the draft. They do say Diabate has hands of stone.
don't care for the hands of stone, if that's accurate, but i think that's less of a big deal for a stretch four than it would be for a traditional post up four.
This is my feeling too. In fact I was just thinking about where the roster slots would come from if they took 3 or even all 4, and who of the current roster is not long for the team.
Would make for a lively training camp.
ESPN Sources: The Brooklyn Nets are deferring acquisition of the Philadelphia 76ers 2022 first-round pick at No. 23 to the 2023 NBA Draft. The option on pushing back pick comes out of the James Harden-Ben Simmons trade. Nets had to inform the league office of decision today.

Brooklyn made a shrewd move, seeing as they have locked Philly out of trading a future first until 2029 (2022 is a current pick). The Sixers are a Harden walking and Embiid injury away from conveying a good pick. Besides that, it doesn't help them too much. They already had a pick next year, though it's en bered by the swap with Houston. The Nets might have to consider salvaging assets from Durant, Irving, Simmons and some role-players within the next year or so, so future unprotected picks seem like a decent way to start that process.
Remember that they have five RFAs to offer QOs to right now. Then they have three expiring deals for deep-bench players. Finally they have Richardson and McDermott who might be traded away. So that's 10 of the 17 roster spots in flux. For sure, some of those guys will be brought back or retained, the ones traded away will bring in new contracts, and the team will or at least should look to bring in more with their cap space. But it's not hard to see them bring in four rookies. As I've mentioned before, you can make a real argument that PG, SF, PF and C all need new blood. Some of those positions could use two new players.
Thats a bad sign, reminder of Jeff Ayres. A big man who cant catch a pass or a rebound.
So Philly will be picking instead of the Nets.
Any impact in the difference in teams with who the Spurs might be interested in at 25?
Kinda surprising, tbh.
Many Knick fans don't want Sochan.
The Knicks are like the spurs. They lack athleticism and a top league scorer on the team and Sochan is not it.
The top scorer on the Spurs is Murray who ranked 31st in the league.
You aren't going far without a top league go to scorer on the team. I don't care how many defensive guys you put on the team.
Spurs need to come away with a player with offensive upside, a future potential top 20 scorer from this draft.
Even if it means trading up a little to get one.
There are some potential players who can be that in a couple of years from this draft.
Butler couldn't bear to let Chet Holmgren be the skinniest guy in the class.
Didn’t even know you could do that. Can we do that for either the Boston or Toronto picks?
Yes i think he could benefit from another year in college
btw a lot of prospects ( roddy, butler, houstan, diabate,terry, lewis...) going to the draft is good for the depth. 38 pick could be really interesting.

All valid.
I also can’t help but feel this draft will go a long way to telling us if they’re starting the transition in earnest to the next crop of young guys, centered around Primo, Vassell, and some combo of these 4 picks.
There is probably real behind the scenes discussion about DeJounte’s future that we won’t ever know about.
We don't have that option..
