    Every time I start thinking maybe John Wall isn't so bad he goes and proves me wrong.

    This roster is much worse than Toronto's roster, and FVV can't help them in the playoffs. So I don't know why he'd help do that here.

    Suns and Mavs improved moreso. Minnesota got better, too

    I wanted to take a flyer on Wiseman, we are not guaranteed Wemby. NBA has it fixed Wemby will go to Popavich.

    I saw that and thought it was wild. But then, seemed like at least half the board thought we'd make the play in this year too.

    I'd rather have #18 than say #28 and #26. It's just a crap shoot when you get that deep in the draft.

    I don't think so. Bruno is guaranteed for next year, NG for the following year if waived before June 2024

    Depends what they came with. I imagine any long term salary in return was not a price worth paying.

    Just using FVV as an example. The market can change dramatically but I expect teams like OKC, HOU, DET, SAS to start using assets this offseason to acquire or a star or stars.

    yeah but we are not guaranteed #18. I’d say it’s more likely that pick is in the 20’s. Which is why I can’t get too excited about this trade.

    Wow. I’m not sure if I’m more shocked they finally did it or shocked that Danny Green is still in the league.

    Yea, it's just a guess either way. No one knows how things will shake out.

    I just don't value late 1st rd picks that highly. I think the chance of getting a reasonably better pick is more valuable.

    We'll see how it works out in the draft.
