  1. The only true 5 I would want in the draft is Clingan, but I will always avoid big men with injury histories. Clingan when he plays is fantastic. All the other 5s … meh id trade both of our picks to get Castle if I could. He just makes winning plays. And man, he has so much untapped potential. I could watch hours on loop of him working through picks on defense. I wish our current roster would too
  2. I don’t ever support drafting for Need. I’m always against that. That tends to lead to you reaching. I hope we go BPA regardless (trade it if it’s a PG). and as for this draft - the true 5s leave a lot to be desired imo. Not sure id take one in the top 25.
  3. His shooting always been a ?, but he’s found a way to go “cold” these last few weeks. Shooting himself into needing to return to UVA.
  4. Good to see that from Snyder tho. Get that in check or you’re asking for an injury. Or retaliation.
  5. What makes Edey a better prospect than Jahlil Okafor offensively? where is okafor now? Pass on the big fella for me.
  6. The idea of Ingram may outweigh the real benefit given injury history. I would have 0 interest of having him AND Hunter AND Bogi on the payroll at the same time.
  7. Just like that it’s a game. You expect our guys to keep shooting like < 20% all game??? I just need to see aj and bufkin get some burn.
  8. Still not including reeves I see. This feels to real.
  9. Looks like Ressy’s bank account wins again! #Undefeated
  10. PJ Washington is worth essentially an unprotected first??? Murray is worth a goldmine then. Grant Williams has been TERRIBLE for the mavs. I have no interest.
  11. Yes! Hold the line until the off-season!!!
  12. New Orleans is not a destination. They would be wise to have top talent locked in long term. They would have DJM / Zion / OO locked up for the next 4 years. DJM / Hawkins / Herb / Zion / OO for the next 3. That’s really solid core locked in for multiple years. Plus whatever they do with Murphy and CJ for the next 2. Ingram expires after next year. Does he even want to resign? I thought I heard a rumor he was unhappy there. if there is a deal, it is centered around Ingram / Daniels / Pick(s) imo. NO is playing well though, so this feels like an offseason deal if anything. edit to add … can’t wait to see 50M+ on the bench for 30%+ of the season between Ingram and Hunter if that is a deal.
  13. Salary matching with the pelicans will be challenging. They’d either have to include Nance (yay another undersized C) or maybe they consider McCollum to a 3rd team with assets coming to ATL? McCollum has been great for them so idk if that’s something they want to entertain tho. I’m betting this is clickbait and it’s not legit. On to the next rumor. Only ~1 day to go!
  14. 0% chance they trade Trey Murphy AND Herb. I doubt they ever come off of Murphy period - they need his spacing.
  15. If our only potential trade is AJ for Okoro - then I hope we stand pat. even if Okoro is an upgrade for now - he will be signing a $10M+ contract next year. I’d rather bank on AJ bouncing back at a cost controlled level for another 2 years. Maybe we can swing mills + 2nd for Joe Ingles. He at least knows quin and is an expiring contract so we can free up cap space in the off season and all go back to pretending that ressler will actually go into the LT until he doesn’t.
  16. So Draymond has the right kind of edge and is therefore not a problem. Dillon Brooks is a dog and is someone you want around your locker room. Bridges is a desired trade target with no locker room concerns. Portis breaks teammate jaw but he is great. Morant does what morant does but boy does Memphis like him.
  17. Was playing with the bartovik site today - just to see some statistical comps for this guy, and thought I'd share (I get it ... it's numbers, and I can make them say whatever story I want them to. It's still impressive). Over the last 15 years, 4 players have had a statistical profile with the following criteria ... Off Reb % > 10%, Def Reb % > 20%, Block % > 10%, Steal % > 2%, Assist > 5%, TS% > 60%, and was a Freshmen or Sophomore ... Ryan Dunn, Walker Kessler, Anthony Davis and Joel Embiid. He's a big wing putting up numbers some of the best defensive centers coming out over the last 15 years put up and scoring at a very efficient level (even with a poor 3P / FT %). Change that steal rate to > 3%? It's him on the list alone. Needless to say I'm a huge fan.
  18. No planet is Mathews more deserving of PT then Bey … even when the shot isn’t falling.
  19. I would like to find a way to get Ryan Dunn (UVA) on this team next year. Thanks Landry.
  20. He’s a tweener. Full time 4? No. He really shouldn’t be starting in general. But He could play up to a 4 with OG for 4-6 weeks waiting for Randle to get back.
  21. Oh I agree. I really like Bey … off the bench. Was just thinking as a stop gap for them until Randle is back, and then move him back to his bench role.
  22. I tend to agree with AHF on this one ... I don't see how Bufkin ever is a viable starter alongside Trae given size. I said this when we drafted him ... I think that Snyder feels like he's a more well rounded version of Jordan Clarkson. Future 6MOY type player. He's the Bogi replacement imo. And the way they have him playing in the GL furthers my belief they are trying to develop that skillset.
  23. On another note. Is there a chance to do what @NBASupes has been calling for and flipping Bey for a first with Randle out injured? Bey to New York for a real first ('24 DAL?).
