    Yeah, the AI does a decent job at recognizing the most urgent need but most teams would not go for Need Only, we have found out in the past.

    Nope, you just made the case for trading #3 for a vet that can shoot the ball.

    I'm giving Green until the trade deadline next yr to prove he can become more consistent. If Cleveland would take Green and #3 for Mitchell, Stone should do the deal.

    What I'm hoping is Alp has spent this off-season working on his outside shot and he Sarr/Clingan can play together with Smith playing SF. No more small ball. Then also have Green improve his shooting and this team would be difficult to deal with.

    This is more than fair imo. Still hope they dont do the trade though.

    So trade the #3 for someone that's gonna ride the bench instead of a Jalen Green replacement?

    Did I mention Green?

    They do need to bring in guys that can shoot the ball better. This is a group that can't shoot straight.

    Sarr maybe, Clingan no way. No way Sengun can play PF defense effectively. I think he is probably working on his 3 pt shot, but I doubt it is a big emphasis. It’s up to Ime and the FO to find shooters in the traditional shooting roles. Sengun’s passing ability makes him a very unique post player and will average 18-20 points with high assist numbers. His defense as a center was more than adequate last year. It would totally suck as a perimeter defender.

    If Sengun does not become a decent outside shooter, he will be a limited center. Sengun has elite passing and dribbling skills for a big man, he has incredible low post moves. However, he has limited vertical, size and wingspan and that he needs a outside shot to use his quickness and dribbling skills against BIG centers. He will not be a STAR PLAYER if he does not have a outside shot. Also, Clingan would work awesome with Jabari at PF, Jabari can shoot outside and Clingan would have EASY layups against opponents….remember Clingan is 7’3 and 280 lbs, he is very strong under the basket and a good passer….he need him

    Also Devin Carter has worked out for the Spurs.

    Devin Carter creeping closer and closer to my predicted top 10 pick. Now at #11.

    Hearing rumors again about Atlanta not being able to get Sarr in for a workout. Its almost a done deal he won't go #1 unless theres a trade.

    The Devin Carter hype is heating up! Starts at the 5:01 mark.

    Thanks for the update.

    Certainly better post that relevant to the thread title (draftee that workout with the Rockets). Not promoting some rookie or update other teams workout.
