2) Warriors can’t win another title without him this season. The kids are talented but not on Draymonds level of what he brings.

Yeah, he's like the QB of the defense. No one is ready for that role yet.

I took Embiid with my first pick and Dejourne Murray with my 2nd.

Debating who to take a 5. Doubt Embiid will fall. Might take Steph or Trae.

Maxey is ranked 67th. Definitely would jump in early to get him.

Do you know if it's true that Kawakami is close with the Warriors' brain trust? I keep seeing people say that.

He’s about as close as any beat writer. He’s been around the team for years. He’s a very respected journalist. He has about as good of information as anyone out there.

KCP 14 points in 15 minutes tonight for the Nuggs… Time to go justify that extension.

I was surprised Embiid fell to me at 4 but the guy with the 3rd pick reached for Tatum. I was assuming I would get Doncic, maybe he will fall to you.

The Heat are better than last season

Thunder getting ready for Wembenyama by signing another frenchie to go with Dieng.

They needed someone to start in the backcourt as they "John Wall" Shai this season.

He will play the whole year once he gets over this knee sprain

That's too long. Watched a lot of the game last night, he really doesn't bring much to the table. Spotty defense, missing jumpers and FTs, meh. They need a quality offensive 2 guard in the mix instead of a 4 guard rotation of Russ/Bev backed by Nunn/Dennis. Walker looked good last night, will be in the mix on the wing provided his ankle is OK (rolled up on last night).

 

[shopson67]

To where?

If they're not going to trade him, send him to g-league for all I care lol. His only value at this point is pushing the ball and a pass here and there.

Which year?

So a buyout? That's a painful buyout.

Any possible trade is going to screw the Lakers down the road, even if it helps them in the short term.

SGA just signed a new max deal. He’s not doing that with a team that he doesn’t know has his best interest in mind.

Nah, sit him and wait for a trade at the deadline (or before).

There are trades that will be worth using up most or all of next season's expected cap space. Next year's crop of FA is not overwhelming.

He's extending his profitability window by limiting the wear and tear, lol.
