    suggs will translate. green is flashier tho, but maybe suggs can be more jason kidd. he can play both sides of the court.

    for sure. I just feel like Tilman gave Stone the ok for a long term rebuild which is the right choice.

    no way Les allows Morey to draft 4 rookies
    Morey hated Texas. He wanted to be in an east coast city where he could Uber everywhere. Dude just wasn’t bout it

    Not at all, they made tanking for another top 5 pick next season a lot easier by wasting 2 picks.

    Les would have demanded Morey to draft and stash with 23 and 24.

    I would love to see the nets play the rockets in the finals

    Green played in the harder league usign NBA 3 pt line at high volume.

    He will translate just as well or even better than Suggs imo.

    I legit think we have had the best draft so far... I like Golden States picks as well.

    Yes, that makes you a morally deficient and impure person.

    Les hired Morey to make the team good cheap so he could sale it.

    I dunno I'd put GSW draft over just cuz their 2 guys fit a need. Kuminga, Wiseman and Moody are a nice big 3 when Steph gets old, Moody is also NBA ready so should def help them out.

    Future 3rd guard, backing up Green and KPJ.

    I’m ok with that.

    he didn’t have the 2, but he had his share of whiffs before we decided to trade picks for luxury tax savings

    The Sengun move was killer, and the Garuba pick gives a young trio of rookies to build around. This team could be flooded with young talent if they score another top 5 pick next year :cool:

    Hard to totally disagree with you. Both of GS picks I was like crap... they are doing good! We got 4 first round picks and 2 of them could be star level. The guy from Spain is tough. We were so aggressive.
