    The good news is that Atlanta is the team benefiting from this, and they still owe their pick to the Spurs in 2027. Atlanta's offseason and a potential top pick in next year's draft is going to dramatically reduce the value of their picks to the Spurs.

    As a Rockets fan, I give the Nets an A+ for this draft. Truly a haul of all time.

    I don't think so.

    I wouldn't be shocked if a couple of guys between like 3-7 turn into good players, maybe even a star ---- but compared to most drafts, 3-7 sucked.

    I think this is going to be a pretty mediocre draft although I think Flagg, Harper, and Edgecomb are locks to be starting players at some point soon. There maybe another couple of starters somewhere down the line probably 3 years from now. Ace has all the tools to be great someday, but he really seems pretty flaky. Maybe he matures.

    project. Happy the suns took him. They will be rebuilding for a long long time. They got broken Mark Williams and a raw project that many other teams passed on despite the size and tools.

    The show was much quicker when they did it in one night instead of this.

    They do need 5-6 hours to cover 1 Round......

    I am glad the Rox aren't drafting a player, we don't need more young players, glad we got Durant.....

    We are good for like 3-5 years without drafting our guys are so young...

    Nico Harrison a legend. First guy to fleece both the NBA itself as well as the team he traded to. Luka is closer to Zion Williamson than he is to LeBron James lol.

    If you ever have to read reports about your star player "slimming down to get in amazing shape" in the offseason....thats your sign that you've hitched your wagon to the wrong horse.

    Our coaches and FO should be able to chew gum and walk at the same time.

    Great teams with young players have no problem developing new players, even if its end of bench talents. Look at OKC.

    Believe PHX couldn't include anyone else because of their CAP situation, but yeah he's steady Eddie as 2nd or 3rd Center.

    Blazers, Pelicans, and Nets were biggest losers to me in the first round
