    Kings passed on ivey and Hardy and traded Halliburton. I know the running joke is "they're the kings" but holy **** lol

    With Hardy gone the best steal left are easily EJ Liddell and Kendall Brown. Two teams gonns be extremely hapoy with those guys.

    Dude was nothing but an inefficient volume chucker in the GLeague. He was supposed to be a top-5 pick possibly coming out of high school. He was supposed to be this draft's Jalen Green. He went to the ignite and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and if he's not hitting his jumper, he's not really doing much else on the court and not really doing much on defense. Caleb Houstan and PBJ were also highly-ranked high school players coming out of college, too, and they fell. Makes me really interested in seeing how Shaedon Sharpe turns out.

    At this point I have to 100% believe Magic FO changed their mind based off the media saying Paolo is the real true #1, the way Jabari looked after failing to 3 tells me, that the magic 100% promised him they would take him 1 and he was their guy. only to call paolo 30 seconds before the pick and tell him he is their guy. Paolo wanted to be in houston and Jabari wanted to be in Orlando

    Yeah but at 29 if somebody has star potential you get him no questions asked.

    Exactly right

    I wouldn't trade our young core for anybody's, and I love the Pistons and OKC drafts too

    Now all we need is to unload EGo to contender for FFRP & get Bamba to take 1+1 deal for MLE

    Bamba / Sengun
    Bari / Garuba
    Tate / Eason
    Green / JayGup
    KPJ / TyTy

    Also managed to drop Wood's dead weight for TyTy + F2RPs

    Stone is draft god
    His woman should let him in the back door tonight ... He's earned it

    6 years ago there were no Jalens in the league

    Now there are 6

    by my calculations, in 75 years all 450 rostered NBA players will be named Jalen

    You must be too young to remember the Summer of Langhi.

    They'll have to pronounce Jaylin as Jay-leen.

    Yeah, I agree. I kind of liked the idea of gambling on him, but I can see the TyTy experiment, too, because he's got upside to him, too. He probablly also can contribute in more ways than just scoring which is what Hardy is pretty much about. We'll see, though. Mavs just got a cheap steal or a decent gamble of a pick. If his shot comes around, he's a volume bucket-getter. I mean even JD Davison was a top-10 player on some lists coming out of high school... he's still out there. A lot of these stories out there.

    Man Liddell to the Pels.
    Great value!
    They're going to be a nice team if Zion makes it back!

    He sure didn't look happy. That's the worst reaction I've ever seen from a number 1 pick.
