    not really. it's hindsight at it's finest. everyone literally has seen how both careers played out. yeah nothing to do with the post

    shai just turned 23. barely a year or 2 older than a number of rookies coming out of this draft.

    Again you're trying to tell folks jalen is this perennial all star when you in reality have 0 clue. what you just said I can easily tell you you're delusional. all while calling someone like shai overrated. irony once again

    I wonder how the calls would go for Pistons to move to 2nd pick.

    Hey, what you gonna give us for Cade… we don’t want him.

    Stone: We are good, just draft Green and we will take Cade for free.

    The fact they put it out there is enough maybe for Tilman to push for Stone to trade for the 1st pick.

    That's about right. They both have equal value when you factor in their positions. SG vs PG. And then same goes with Mobley.

    Good enough to get Tillman to put him on his private jet.

    You know I like Barnes a lot, but just cannot trade down for him.

    Cade-Mobley-Green are too good to F around with.

    And while I like Sengun too, taking him top 5 is ridiculous. He is just too limited in modern era.

    And my preference for Hardy over Green is because Hardy is 2 way player AND better playmaker AND better 3ball shooter.

    My 3 year wishlist options:

    #1 - 7'0 Mobley (2021), 6'5 Hardy (2022), 7'2 Wembanyana (2023)

    #2 - 6'6 Green (2021), 6'10 Banchero/7'0 Holmgren, 6'8 Bates

    First option is better balanced offensively, better 3ball, better playmaking, more spacing, better rim protection, better perimeter defense, more switchable, better advanced stats, higher IQ.

    2nd option is explosive offensively, especially in iso, but worse in almost every other area.

    First option is a championship contender, 2nd option will be fun as heck to watch but ....

    ... still a better team than the one we'd have if he traded down.

    Top 3 picks are so coveted, for a reason.

    Yes for Kemba. But only if we let them pay his salary.
