2023 NBA Draft Omega Thread

I think that's a 1 step foward 1 step back kind of idea. No real reason to do something like that.

I think Franz is currently everything we hope Keegan will eventually become. Their games are different because Franz is a much better on-ball player and playmaker, but Keegan is a much better off-ball player.

Fun to talk about, but the likelihood of a trade is 0. I’m really not sure what Memphis could’ve offered. I wouldn’t even accept unprotected future 1st round picks if I’m Orlando.

....I'd easily give up Keegan for Franz

I absolutely love Franz, but Keegan is a better fit with Fox and Domas, not to mention being an extra year away from an extension.

But if there were a way to pry him from Orlando to play with Keegan? THAT I'd be onboard with. But I don't see it as a realistic possibility.

Those 2028 and 2030 pick swaps might actually be good

This is a warning about overpaying for players in that non-efficiency range. The Warriors basically dumping Poole is quite interesting.

Exactly.

Just because you have space, doesn't mean overpaying to get/keep your guy is smart. If at all required, better to front load the contract.

Poole is talented but he seems like a knucklehead. He could average 23 points a game next year and still not have much impact on winning. Still, might be worth the risk since they don’t have any cornerstones in place.

The Warriors being dumb again is fantastic for us

I mean, only if we move Davion for OG

Yeah, there's basically no reason to waive him since didn't like most of his salary get guaranteed already? Next year though, if not guaranteed we know what's up with this lol. The Warriors got out of that Poole deal quick and actually had to attach draft capital to do it hahaha.

the Kings first round series really had them shook, eh?

LOL good luck on that “quest” with a guy that will almost certainly be hurt come playoff time anyhow.

If Holmes is going back someway, heck yeah. Other than that. Yeah, that'll totally change the standing in the West, lol.

i can’t think of any reason Orlando would want to trade him at all? Seems silly that Memphis would even think there is a chance.

Exactly. Don’t see how Delon would get much playing time otherwise

Lost in the hubbub, is Deandre Hunter available? If so, Monte needs to get in on that one.

That’s a crap ton of picks and pick swaps. The Suns are really going all-in. Beal’s is a very good player, but that contract is horrible and it seems like overkill with Booker/KD/Ayton

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Jesus Christ. They couldn’t have just waited to bring in cP3 once the Wizards inevitably cut him?

Chris Paul has played in the league long enough to become Luke Ridnour.

Also, that whole "rebuild while still contending" thing didn't quite work out the way Bob Meyers thought it would, did it?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Now who do they move Kuminga for?

Wonder what package the Pacers were offering for him that got rejected. Couldn’t have involved the 7th overall could it?

I'm a bit afraid to check this, but I think literally every Phoenix pick (1st and 2nd rounds) from now until the end of legal trading time is either 100% gone or encumbered in a swap. I think every single one.

Buddy Hield

If they get a ring out of it, it’s a success. Any other outcome? Oof.

Remember that dude who skydived out of an airplane without a parachute but had a huge net constructed on the ground to catch him? This is that, except we don't know how it turns out yet.
