That is a shocker.Strong indications that Spurs are going to select Wembanyama with no. 1 pick.
Do you have a source for this scorching hot take?Strong indications that Spurs are going to select Wembanyama with no. 1 pick.
Before the post season fiasco, there was actually talk in the media of a straight swap: Poole for Ayton. To me, that would have been ridiculous from the Sun's POV, but I still feel Poole is worth more than a 38 yr old guy who could possibly be waived.20 ppg at 50% true shooting and negative defense.
Poole is a negative player outside of box score watching ppg
Sure nothing stopping that.
Ah ok i see, thanks.Yes there are minimum contracts. Currently 1m would the minimum rookie contract, 10 years veterans have a minimum of 2.7m.
It's a shame we're not playing soccer 'cause now we've got 2 of the best "ball strikers" in the league in CP3 and Draymond.I am kinda disappointed in CP going to GSW, not saying is a bad move just feel such franchise is tainted now with such cnut among them.
Draymond is a gent compared to that dirty feck, not to mentions things i heard about how he used his role as NBPAIt's a shame we're not playing soccer 'cause now we've got 2 of the best "ball strikers" in the league in CP3 and Draymond.
Probably Skip Bayless or Stephen A. Smith. They're both in the know when it comes to the NBA.Do you have a source for this scorching hot take?
yep, what was the point of the countdown? 0 seconds until… more build up exactly the sameChrist the Americans certainly know how to draw this shit out don't they?
I’m not happy he plays for us. I really don’t like the guyI am kinda disappointed in CP going to GSW, not saying is a bad move just feel such franchise is tainted now with such cnut among them.
I guess not. He keeps sliding. I know he’s had injury problems but he was being projected as a lottery pick at one point. If he falls to us at 20 I’ll be very very happy.Lakers are going to have Cam Whitmore fall into their lap aren't they?
There you go.I guess not. He keeps sliding. I know he’s had injury problems but he was being projected as a lottery pick at one point. If he falls to us at 20 I’ll be very very happy.
Teams can be jumpy about injury issues. Last slide like this was MPJ and that worked out alright in the end. As long as he is managed well in his first season I think they will be fine. Sengun is going to have fun with all of these guys who like to cut to the basket.Multiple good franchises passed on Whitmore so he is likely not this great steal. The only real steals this far down tend to be Europeans or guys from smaller teams.
Isn't the rumour that he also did badly on the interviews and tanked multiple workouts?Teams can be jumpy about injury issues. Last slide like this was MPJ and that worked out alright in the end.

Tainted now? Draymond and Klay are already there though...I am kinda disappointed in CP going to GSW, not saying is a bad move just feel such franchise is tainted now with such cnut among them.
Like what? Never heard about this.Draymond is a gent compared to that dirty feck, not to mentions things i heard about how he used his role as NBPA
I did hear that execs weren't happy with his interviews, some workouts were bad, he apparently shone in others though so a bit of a mixed bag.Isn't the rumour that he also did badly on the interviews and tanked multiple workouts?
Please don’t trade him for OG or whatever.thank you, mj. welcome to portland, scoot henderson.
It makes zero sense to keep him and Scoot as it will hurt his development, and it also makes zero sense to "try and get the final piece to help Dame win the chip" because that's just not going to happen. Scoot is a superb talent by all accounts, so is Sharpe, we have our backcourt under control for the next 8-9 years and can't squander that just so we can win 45 games. There'll be growing pains, there'll be some awful seasons in the meantime but as we've seen with many teams of recent years, those rebuilds don't take all that long if you have the right foundations which we seem to already have. Scoot could easily be on the same level as Ja (and not have the same character issues, hopefully), Sharpe can explode anytime, then you have Little/Simons and other pieces drafted recently, there's really a way to turn this into a .500 team within 2-3 years and take it from there.Yeah, the Blazers should have a talk with Dame. The trade is probably best option for both sides.
I’m disappointed to find out she’s not short and dumpyso, victor wembanyama’s sister
Thanks. I'm excited.There you go.
Great draft for the Rockets. Now lets hope they don't spoil it and give Harden a max.
I was so sure you were trading the pick away for a win now player but you must be elated. If Portland were unsure of which direction to go in before the draft, Scoot falling to them should make it clear for them, as you say.It makes zero sense to keep him and Scoot as it will hurt his development, and it also makes zero sense to "try and get the final piece to help Dame win the chip" because that's just not going to happen.

Just let Dame pick the team he wants to join, get the best package possible and move on. Really no other way to go about it.
It's not a hot take, it's the most popular take. The only rational that I have seen for this is that the Hornets have Lamelo Ball which on paper means that they don't have room for Scoot Henderson. In this particular case I can understand it since they are both on ball players but they could have fleeced someone for that pick or maybe they should have tried to trade Ball and gamble on a team built around Scoot.No idea if this is a hot take or not but I think Miller > Scoot will be looked at in the same light as Trae > Luka in a few years.
Yeah they definitely passed on a chance to revamp their franchise and add draft capital if that's the rationale for choosing Miller. Not unsurprising from a horribly run franchise like the Hornets but still, missed opportunity.It's not a hot take, it's the most popular take.

As an example Ball to Toronto for picks and Anunoby?.
To be fair, it could work. Lamelo Ball is very good and pairing him with someone as talented as Miller is supposed to be could see them turn into a very good team. The issue that I have with Ball is that he has missed a third of his NBA career due to injuries and he is eligible for an extension this summer, do you give him a max contract? And if you don't, does he think about signing somewhere else?Yeah they definitely passed on a chance to revamp their franchise and add draft capital if that's the rationale for choosing Miller.

Drafting for fit is one of the most ridiculous things you can do when you are a bad franchise, especially as Scoot could surpass LaMelo soon.No idea if this is a hot take or not but I think Miller > Scoot will be looked at in the same light as Trae > Luka in a few years.
Toronto would want like 3 unprotected firsts on top of no. 2 for Anunoby, Masai is obsessed about the idea of winning the trade (unless he's trading for Poeltl). Portland tried dealing with them but they were apparently treating no. 3 as a throw-in and wanted Sharpe, Simons and more picks to discuss Anunoby/Siakam.It's not a hot take, it's the most popular take.
