    I really hope this draft doesn't suck. Have had a hard time getting excited about anyone. Someone change my mind.

    3rd worst is about the best we can hope for right now.

    Heres hoping we trade the vets soon and stop picking up counter productive wins.

    I want to see our building blocks get stronger not erode by all the losing. So lose but with dignity, so no one's spirits are broken.

    Losing while competitive is good. Top 3 pick, here we come!

    Theres No lbj in this draft. Doesnt matter if we pick 1 or 10 which current draft showed everybody. Right choice of pick matters

    Ok I am not ok with losing. The playin and winning builds a winning culture that not only attracts free agents but also gives a better chance for players like sengun and Josh to resign with us. No up and coming young players we draft will resign after his rookie contract for a perennial loser like us.

    Need to win. Also it builds fan interest, also there's a HUGE chance they will draft the wrong player. And then your set back YEARS. We aren't getting 4 frfs this time so all our eggs are in one basket. Like someone said earlier there is no LBJ, just like last year there is so much parody that you will get the same Talent at pick16 as you will at pick 1.

    No point in tanking unless you luck out and get #1 and trade it down or for a star. Havent seen Smith , but as far as Paolo and Chet they don't move the needle at all.

    The odds of getting #1 are probably 0 cuz I believe it's rigged anyways and silver won't give us a #1 after we dominated last yrs draft.

    Another person said the right thing, it's not where u draft, it's do you draft the best talent at that spot? Yes. Like I said , to much parady in all the drafts. The drafts with a lbj happen once every 20 yrs. That's 2023 with Scott and wanbayama.

    Now if you told me we are going to tank in 2023 I will reverse course cuz those two are game changers right out of the box. Not this draft sorry. Not trying to upset anyone it's just the truth.

    Go for the playin. Boost the trade value of our players by winning and trade them(wood eg dj maybe green and kpj) and go from there

    Yes we need talent but this draft sucks and if you're smart you can build a team without tanking.takes winning and tradeing players at their peek value.

    That is where we are dropping the ball. Should have traded wood and eg on December 15. They both are injury prone.

    Ah yes do not tank but let's trade two of our core members that are reasons y we win games at all and keep winning.

    Delusional. U trade those 2, we probably go on another losing streak
