I get the sense there is strong underlying strategy and personnel evaluation with this front office (maybe that's all Witus) but execution is...
No that just refers to obligations in 2025. We owe our 2026 pick to OKC top 4 protected no matter what.
Something to note (warning: confusing Stepien rule stuff): After today’s Brooklyn trade, even though we got back extra assets - they are not well...
Overall I give the deal a B-. Agree with the principle, I like keeping the 2027 swap, and I think the deal on its own is a net positive. Huge...
I love Udoka as our coach, motivator, culture guy, and face of the organization. Was my dream coaching pick for us before he even left Boston. Do...
I have read, though unconfirmed, that he does have a significant buyout after he signed his big pro contract with Red Star last year. Topic has...
Just registering this: I don’t think they will trade down to late lottery (for reasons I’ve described elsewhere), but IF they do I have a...
This is pretty accurate, as far as how I read things. At this point lead decision-makers know who they want to draft. The "uncertainty" is all...
Beware of thinking we have too many prospects to develop, so we have to trade this pick. Last time a team did that, it was the Charlotte Hornets...
Great post. The other key point (I’ve mentioned elsewhere) is that the only time trade downs happen in the top 5 in the last 15 years, it’s...
Personally, I believe a trade down is unlikely. - As far as we know, no mid or late lottery prospects have worked out with Houston at all. We...
Would have to be at least 3 future draft assets to buy #3. The price was 3 protected firsts when OKC bought #11 a couple years ago. So something...
Kinda true, but one comp is better than zero comps. It sets a backstop for the other GM. He can say to his owner "we're getting Jalen Green back...
Very good for us in that it sets a super high trade value transaction comp for Jalen and other 2021 class guys like Kuminga etc. who are all...
Agree with you. I think Marcus Smart was a great POA defender, not sure that he is now. Even before his injury last year, in his last year in...
You missed my point completely. Sheppard and Amen are A+ prospect grades at flawed archetypes/roles in the NFL sense. Where a running back or a...
No offense, but this kind of take reminds me of the takes people had about Amen last year: "He's expected to be the 3rd-5th pick... and also he...
For those who don’t know. Draftexpress (ie Givony and Woo) are known to have by far the best intel-based mock draft, you can go back and check...
Kolek is a very good player who IMO will contribute as a rotation player in the NBA on his rookie contract. Fantastic passer / PnR operator /...
Respectfully, whether it’s drafting Carter or Castle, signing Melton, or trading for Bridges or Smart - I just don’t understand the idea that the...
