Kinda true, but one comp is better than zero comps. It sets a backstop for the other GM. He can say to his owner "we're getting Jalen Green back...
Very good for us in that it sets a super high trade value transaction comp for Jalen and other 2021 class guys like Kuminga etc. who are all...
Agree with you. I think Marcus Smart was a great POA defender, not sure that he is now. Even before his injury last year, in his last year in...
You missed my point completely. Sheppard and Amen are A+ prospect grades at flawed archetypes/roles in the NFL sense. Where a running back or a...
No offense, but this kind of take reminds me of the takes people had about Amen last year: "He's expected to be the 3rd-5th pick... and also he...
For those who don’t know. Draftexpress (ie Givony and Woo) are known to have by far the best intel-based mock draft, you can go back and check...
Kolek is a very good player who IMO will contribute as a rotation player in the NBA on his rookie contract. Fantastic passer / PnR operator /...
Respectfully, whether it’s drafting Carter or Castle, signing Melton, or trading for Bridges or Smart - I just don’t understand the idea that the...
Not sure if people realize this, but starting this summer we are going to be in semi-permanent hardball negotiation mode with every one of our...
?? I’m not making any claims about our players or their prominence in our plans. Externally however, every draftee will look at us and see we...
I think we should all realize that being the 7th member of a core 7 is not the ideal scenario for basically every draftee. If you’re a wing, do...
Yeah I see people saying “it’s perceived as a weak draft, therefore HOU should take way less than the normal price for the #3 pick” That’s… not...
NBA championships are won by drafted players or players acquired on their rookie contracts, unless you are in LA or Miami. This is pretty...
Yup. If you think from the perspective of Stone and the FO, who are not dumb, Iko’s content is so odd. I actually like the guy, and I think...
Yeah, anyone talking about spending real assets to acquire a non top 20 player right now is misunderstanding where we are. We have 9 solid to...
All this is true. The other element to consider is timing. Seems obvious Donovan Mitchell is staying in Cleveland. But he can't actually extend...
I think I’ve figured out the galaxy brain cap strategy that led the Rockets to have some interest in a Mikal move: In summer of 2025, we can...
It's also about the quality of the team whose pick you're getting in the trade to move down. In the DAL-ATL trade, Atlanta received a pick in the...
Ehh, I think I personally might not do it from a pure "maximize the odds of winning a title" perspective. But I think Stone would do something...
Tbf I think there's a real possibility Bridges could be traded in a deal involving Houston. It just wouldn't be with Bridges ending up in Houston....
