    I don’t know if we have that guy on the roster yet, but whatever we do, we at least need to keep the Nets pick.

    We can get rid of the Suns one if needed.

    They got the date wrong, it should have been 2026, but yeah fewer stars but lots of decent players in 2027.

    They shouldn’t trade any of their picks and I’ve been saying that for a long team. Every year they need to have at least one good first round talent brought onto the team. You see it clearly that our bench has very little upside. Some players just aren’t going to cut it and this team is not as deep as you think.

    In the last years many teams gutted their future for a win-now move.

    Only for the bucks did it somewhat pay out with a championship but they're going to pay a huge price for it once Giannis leaves. They have no control over most if not all of their draft picks until like 2032. That's a long long time...

    We have a lot of draft capital. Trading 2025 pick made sense cuz there was no one at #10 level that would’ve satisfied our needs. Maybe Malbauch or however u spell his name would’ve been better that Clint Shitpela

    Yeah I want the rockets to zig here where everyone wants to zag. I would rather the team extend the longevity with a constant stream of talent then have maybe 2 season with a win now roster that is destined to disappoint.

    Yeah but the 2027 class looks promising but of course nowhere near the 2026 class.

    Gotta love Spurs Culture saying "just this one time"......aside from 87, 97 and 2023. Just this 4th time.

    Shouldn't had traded 2026 nets pick, we still could have gotten KD without the moves.
