    So underwhelming. I am not pleased.

    Guys, I see a positive in all this. The total misfit of talent that is collected on this team, the lack of players who have defined positional roles, means that this team will suck next season. This is our way of tanking! I'm glad Les finally saw the light. Hallelujah!

    From our own polls: 83% liked Lamb pick, 61% like White, and 35% like T Jones, which averages to ~60% = slightly above average :)

    Actually, I like all three, who are better than their draft position indicates:
    Lamb undervalued because SGs need a good PG to shine (and didn't have one last year)
    White a top 10 talent but had off-court issues
    T Jones overshadowed by teammates

    Probably for a backup center.

    there is no way any of 29 teams is willing to trade their franchise player to rox for any or combination or all of rox players.

    looks like we are going to have another #14 pick next summer.

    Seriously... Could this be any more underwhelming?

    Everything was over as soon as the Bobcasts passed on TRob.... No way Sac was trading their pick at that point.

    Potentially! Now dont get disappointed if nothing happens. I am actually excited about seeing some new talent. Also, we have Dmo coming. Thats still exciting to have a new guy suit up. Looking forward to this season, as always.

    I think he is going to refer to any potential move from now on as "minor" to temper fan expectations

    Good news if you ask me. Our second round picks with Morey always seem to be better than 1st round picks

    Furkan Aldemir? Said to be possibly on the move after the Clippers drafted him. No word on what team.
