    Now that the draft is done, here's what should be the blueprint

    yup. though i won't "complain" if we contended for the playoffs somehow. having another bad season to get another franchise guy wouldn't hurt.

    Name me a time where that actually happened. 4 #1 picks in the same class all doing well. Most young teams that are highly touted crumble because...

    Now that the draft is done, here's what should be the blueprint

    I hope so. Can't think of many teams who had 3, let alone 4 picks pan out in the same class. Hard to develop all those young players at the same...

    Let them walk as FA's? That sounds like an amazing plan.

    Garuba absolutely should stay in Spain for 2 years if possible. Let him organically expand his offensive game there (I'd MUCH rather him develop...

    Now that the draft is done, here's what should be the blueprint

    We took 4 guys in the 1st rd. The odds that all 4 will pan out is VERY slim. If 2 are worthy of keeping at the end of their rookie deals, that's a...

    Elite team D wins titles

    Mobley should be able to rim protect as well as Gobert, but be 10x more capable to defend the perimeter than Rudy. He just won't be able to play...

    Why it needs to be Mobley...

    Mobley isn't that similar to Giannis, but more Giannis than he is Ayton. Ayton never had inside/outside potential on both ends like Mobley.

    Rebuilds are actually a lot of fun

    Rebuilds are more fun than having teams that aren't good enough (2019-2020 season with Russ) but they have to try and win asap. It's less...

    Harden on Giannis: “I wish I could just run and just dunk. That takes no skill at all.”

    Giannis is easily a better player than Harden. Can you imagine Harden playing well in every game in the Finals? Maybe 1 or 2. Not 6 on both ends...

    Mobley only working out for the Rockets?

    By having Wood AND Mobley on the floor together it also makes it futile for teams to try to have 1 of them switched onto their guard, as the other...

    dude is 19 or whatever. most big men take a lot of time to grow into their body. it's why they are much more risk/reward than guards. what's...
