Yeah, maybe 4 years ago Porzingas would have been worth all that.

This is a twice a decade draft class. They aren't giving that pick for an oft injured big who has never won anything on top of Wiseman....much less also Wiggins

its hard to play offense at a high level when its 4 on 5 and a guy is basically just not a threat.

believe me- i have watched plenty of Okoro this season.
Hopefully, last game is a sign and he will become more aggressive on offense. Now they just need sexton to shoot more, as well, especially from 3 (which he kind of has).

what's sad is I really liked the guy and his show when it was just on radio.

He knows/knew his stuff in college football.

I think he has gotten too big and he doesn't take the time to research now.

He's become like many guys in his position....just come up with hot takes, no matter how baseless they might be.

What's sad is Minny is so bad the Ws probably won't get that pick in this year's draft (top 3 protected)

That's the best way to make money. Why any of you listen to or read a single word from any of them is beyond me. I guess it's fun to read their stuff to rag on them?

Odds against it, but much better chance with new format. Cavs picked 5th last 2 years with a bottom 2 record.

what happens to it after this year if they don't get it?

Only time I ever hear what they say is in forums like this when others repeat/post them.

I have heard Cowhurd at least has a segment where he owns his mistakes?

That'd be interesting but I wouldn't know

Come home Boogie...Seriously though, the Warriors could absolutely use him. Waive Wanamaker and let Poole be the backup PG.

You know what's crazy:

If you told me two years ago that I wouldn't want to trade Wiggins for Porzingas, I would slap you for being so dumb.

How times have changed...

I mean...SU you probably do that deal.

Wiggins plus Wiseman and a top first rounder? I may stab someone for such a proposal

Agreed.

They might trade those guys, but only for a legit star.

Also, decent chance that Minny retains the pick.

TBH, I wouldn't do that deal straight up for Wiggins.

The best ability is availability and he just cannot stay healthy. On top of that he doesn't play any defense and I just don't see the possibility of him getting any better. Wiggins and KP are actually the same age right now.

He's really popular with his teammates and apparently a great locker room guy. They must be preparing to sign someone. According to the LA Times, Boogie is not the top target. They speculate Hassan Whiteside.

Not sure how that is any different. Supposedly Boogie is not a fit due to his lack of lateral quickness defensively and just being a slow big. Describes Whiteside too.

With Schroeder out, seems to be odd timing to dump another PG (unless an upgrade in the backcourt depth fills one of the two open spots).

Celtics on the tube tonight. Have no idea what to expect out of them. Frustrating season so far.

It's funny, last week I was complaining that the Lakers hadn't been on in a while. After a few bad games, I was only half-heartedly watching last night (after doing the same with Syracuse losing big to Duke). Blechh.
