And if Okoro is the “worst” of his picks, that is pretty damn good. The ‘20 was a top 3 draft then meh after except for Hali, who went 12. The fact Okoro got extended and he improved his 3 ball makes this pick good too…as far as that draft

Maxey, Quickley, McDaniels, Bane were all outstanding value in the late 1st, should've been much higher in retrospect.

Cavs in LA on New Year's Eve on the 2nd night of a West-Coast back to back. We will see just how mentally focused they are I guess. lol. I hope they don't chalk this one up.

They have won the last 7 games by no less than double digits. Hope there isnt a let up but this seems like it might be one of those games.
last 10 wins also been by double digits.

Will be interesting to see how the Lakers react to two new players and no true point guards available. Will be Reaves, Milton and maybe Olivari at the point (and of course, Lebron).

I'm curious to see how this one goes, too.....only benefit the Lakers get, I guess, is been sitting around waiting a while for us while we played last night.

Detroit was one of the best teams in the East at that time (they had Houston's pick at #2).

Might want to read up on these things before you put that tinfoil hat on.

One of the? They made the ECF 6 years in a row lol. I'd say for that time-frame they were the best team in the east

Extra rest for Lebron on top of that, who hasn't played since Christmas.

Long-winded post to kick a struggling franchise while they're down.

It is possible to defend your team without tearing down another, believe it or not.

Interestingly, they have been down for a long time.

They are finally starting down a possible pathway to getting up.

You will find those in almost every draft, those were good picks but there were projections were not top 5, most not close. Too hypothetical in CLE’s case. I could vouch for a guy like Hali and he even went 12

Okc, Denver, San Antonio is a growing triangle of important economic zones.
Nba wants their piece of that. They've already done most the work in that region.

Detroit was a mess and largely still is. Couldn't put lebron there. Detroit is heading in the right direction, but it's still actually a broke ass shithole.

However NBA needs to pressure both sides - Altitude sports and Comcast - because currently Denver Nuggets home games are blocked in Denver

Let me repeat that - a major NBA team in Denver and their fans can’t watch their home games

That is ridiculous and both sides are to blame

Glad he could get all that off his chest.

Clearly it's been bothering him for a while. Poor guy.
