Gordon Hayward Part 2
Huge difference is the vet min contract though. I don’t think he is as cooked as Heyward. I’m rooting for Heyward somewhere else, hopefully he was tentative because of the injury he was coming off of. All in all a big failure for Presti though. Charlotte came out good in that trade.

Embiid is not likely to be a dominant player 2027 and beyond. The Clippers pick will be after Kawhi PG13 and Harden are retired.

And most importantly…the GM that gets the third pick is set up for failure . The fan base will be thinking “3rd pick” and essentially they get to take Chandler Parsons or some other similar bust who will fail and settle into a 10-15 minute a night role player.

In this conversion though we are talking about the retarded front office of the Brooklyn Nets so in the end you may be right, but only because the Nets are retarded.

I’m not gonna say there’s no argument

I can see it

The risk with those picks is also that I’m not the gm who gets to use them lol

But if the clippers cough up 16 this year, clippers 28 and their own 31, that’s a better package than just 3 this year

But the rockets also have other picks

Their picks is aboht the same value as the black and coulibay picks last year Imo

Must be nice to be able to tank and not have the league make you fire your GM.

This is where I have your back

Presti openly admitted to tanking before one of these last few seasons and the league did nothing

That’s where I’m on your side

I’m not sure 2 seasons can really be considered a tank but in any event I think something can be said for making it quick.

I guess it pays to have a highly respected GM
It plays to be in the markets the NBA wants to build.

Especially in the growing south central midwest - Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas. This includes San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Dallas and Denver.

Hell to the nah nah nah. The third pick in this draft is a role player. A futures pick that’s unprotected had a chance to be a lottery pick in an actual good draft.
Get what you are saying but likely some players taken 3rd or later will be all stars.....choosing the right one? Different story (and likely wont need to be as high as 3 to get whoever it is).
