    Y’all are tripping with these comps. Clearly

    Cade Cunningham : Lewis Lloyd (no drugs)
    Jalen Green: Sleepy Floyd (wide awake)
    Evan Mobley : Eddie Griffin (uhh)

    ok ok.. let me try again


    Cade Cunningham : Tracy Murray (lightskin shooter)
    Jalen Green: Moochie Norris (versatile hairstyles)
    Evan Mobley : (Two sandwiches, but skinnier. So like 1 sandwich)

    Yep, well guess everye milwaukee fan is thanking their stars someone like you ain't in the decision making

    bc whatever arza was dong, pj tucker was doign worse. Less stats, less 3s... but they went and still traded a first rounder for him and despite him scoring 0, still played him 40 minutes in the finals...and won a chip

    and dudes lke you'd be like but he sucks won't make a dfference, no point, how easy is that not to see

    and then also be like they lost 0-4 last year in the semi, giannis hasn't improved...how are they going to win now, why would we spend extra?

    And chris paul himself mentioned the glue guys, as mentioned you have no idea of basketball outside a box score. You'd be a superstar on espn with these hot takes don't worry, theres a place for all this.

    Lol, you are the ideal fan for a tilman fertitta thats for sure. A guy who roots for a budget. Owners laughing to the bank of the pee-ons who are defending him over their actual team. Dudes on the Rockets forum defending moves that only help Landrys. You do you man, every corporation needs people like you. Bro, can you imagine how much mcnair saved by trading hopkins? Man, love to see that guys savings!!! they weren't winning a ring, save save save!

    He's the clear number one this year because he has few weaknesses and will project to be a good player at worst - higher floor than the rest and just as high of a ceiling....however he is NOT a generational talent like a Lebron. All #1 picks are not created equal - you got generational talents, potential franchise players, potential all stars, potential role players, etc. This draft doesn't have a generational guy. However Cade can be a franchise player - but so can a few guys in this draft. Cade just has the lowest risk to get there. I would say he is probably going to be better than Ayton and likely Edwards too. Generally the top 3 or 4 talent in this year's talent is better than last year's top pick.

    Hold your ground Stone, if they want Green they can draft Green with their pick and stfu... Do not give them anything extra just because, they want to pass on Cade then do it...

    interesting use of "Waffling" when I would have used "Vacillate"

    Is this like when Broussard said Dwight was “waffling” on his decision? Lol. I guess I could see them trading out of 1 but hopefully not to us. We’re in a sweet position right now.

    I thought waffling was something you do at breakfast.

    They worked out Green. Weird thing is Mobley didn’t work out with anyone other than Cavs. This means we are the only one they would want to trade with cause they want Green. Do we really want Cade? I was thinking Green and KPJ are a great backcourt and already friends.

    Idk man, I just see a huge ego and not in a good way when looking at Cade

    I think he’s going to cause problems within teams down the line

    I agree. The last thing we need is a diva in Houston.

    Creating fake intrigue in the dead spot prior to a big event is Sportswriter 101. But i guess it works, because as a group seem to go back to the gameplan over and over.

    Which is puzzling because he runs the risk of alienating Cade and his agent/representation. The relationship is already to a bad start. I wouldn’t be surprised if Cade holds it against the organization and asks for a trade once his rookie contract is up.

    If Tilman had any say so in this matter, it would be more like chicken and waffling.

    Probably already told Cade the plan. Media throws out tons of bs before the draft. Dude is locked in

    Cade was never the pick.

    It's creative license. Waffles or pancakes?
    I like the definition of Waffling below. It fits Woj in this instance, as well as 90% of the rest of us.

    Waffling (the British meaning) -
    speak or write, especially at great length, without saying anything important or useful.
    "he waffled on about everything that didn't matter"

    Vacillating (Oxford dictionary) -
    alternate or waver between different opinions or actions; be indecisive.
    "I had for a time vacillated between teaching and journalism"
