That was one of the players the Hawks could trade Reddish for and no one would be that bad.

I just want to take this moment to re-express how much I can't stand Woj and Shams who've made bank by basically just telling us information we're gonna learn in a matter of minutes or hours anyway.

This is the night they really show their collective a**es.  "Houston's on the clock, and we're gonna learn their pick in 6 seconds buuuut ..... they're gonna select (this guy)."

Well, I can wait 6 seconds, Woj/Shams.  You're not doing anything special.

Hate it Hate it - that's why just follow on TV and ignore them during this time.

Yeesh, I just rolled my eyes so hard I gave myself a migraine.

I remember that one year where the league asked the networks to stop spoiling draft picks on draft night.

So, instead of just spoiling the pick outright, BSPN kept cutting to Woj who'd say stte, "The Pacers are leaning toward picking so-and-so."  then had the smuggest, sh*t-eating grin on his face.

Annoying.

Draft starts at 4, just like last year. Top 3 are a lock.

Wanna make a bet on that?  I think we'll see a surprise.

Making bank on those 6 seconds because time is money.

I wouldn't rule out a trade, but I would bet Cunningham, Green and Mobley go 1,2 and 3.

I hear Toronto is dialed in on Jalen Suggs.  Orlando is considering Scottie Barnes.

We aren't going to see a suprise. CLE turned down every offer including ours

I mean, you can get in on this bet too ....

ETA: And speaking of "including ours", all that means is CLE saved us from ourselves.  Mobley's gonna bust hard.  You heard it here first.

Did 'Credible' Source get disowned?

I know they don't claim 'Multiple' Source.

Nah. Mobley is gonna beast. He's probably the one young center under 25 other than Bam that I would trade OO for. He'll be one of the 2 or 3 best bigs in the NBA in 4 years.

My source** is guest-hosting NBARadio's coverage into the draft, btw.

Says Cade is 'safe', not generational.

** Fran Fraschilla

[kg01]

Ooooh, nice Fran-ism when asked about analytics impact on player eval: 

"Statistics accuse, analytics indict, video tape convicts."

Fran is the baddest.

[KB21]

I'm still thinking the pick will be Cam Thomas, but I think Tre Mann is going to be a serious option due to his ability to be an initiator of the offense.

"Beasts" are beasts before the get to the league, not once they get to the league.

My guy on Mobley: "Talent is there.  Wanna see his motor rev up a bit more.  Almost too nice a kid ... not a jerk like he (needs to be), needs to get stronger, more physical, and a bit meaner..."

- That's not a beast, RF.
