    While those picks might take their toll, it is also possible that both Washington and Detroit picks will convey at that time, which greatly lessens the blow. (Along with the Brooklyn picks...)

    Frito Lays or Dorritos? I think Dorritos would be too much for Oladipo. LOL!

    Frito Lay is the manufacturer, not a brand. And there is only one R in Doritos. Sorry - can't help it given my job!

    Also, you are right that any brand made by Frito Lay is superior to Oladipo. Maybe he's worth a bag of Utz PC.

    We should expect the worst from Tilman.

    True, but after the Robert Covington for Christian Wood and 2 1sts by Rafael Stone, I am hopeful that we have a GM talented enough to win in spite of Tilman.

    I sure hope Houston won't be giving up an additional FRP to get the deal done. I suspect Stone is trying very hard to acquire AG since there isn't any guarantee that we will end up with a top 4 pick. I'm not sure about AG's fitness after his ankle injury.

    Just a sprain.

    Will not need him this season in any event.

    And dumping Piston's FRP is no huge loss.

    It's the Mavs FRP that Magic would covet most anyway.

    the guy is a walking injury waiting to happen, but D-rock’s fandom is infectious and will infuse his bones with titanium. At this point my standards for a return on our trade deadline offers are like being single in your 40’s; they’re really plummeting.

    Why would the retention or loss of the Rox’ FRP affect the acquisition or not of AG?

    nothing would be more fun than going into next year with:

    wood
    AG
    KJ
    porter
    cade/suggs

    not a playoff team, but would be fun while earning another top 5 pick or so the next 2 years. start 2023-2024 with a loaded young roster and get back to the playoffs!

    Could be the new lob city!
