Forgot about Mojave King. Could be a nice summer league tryout/Exhibit 10 swing if we could get him to come over as a UFA.

Hopefully not, because Kuz is coming here!

But man, I think you roll with:

Poole
Davis
Kispert
Deni
Gafford
Pick 8, 35,42

And just see what can develop from that. Go actively try and trade Monte, Tyus, Delon Wright and really just bottom this thing out. Keep the cap sheet as clean as you can, buy bad contracts for assets.

We're usually on the same page but I don't see what you're seeing here at all lol. That looks like a welcome to basketball hell roster to me.

That's the point (of this year at least). Be so bad this season that you're guaranteed a top pick (even though the next draft isn't very good). And then tank again the year after that for Cooper Flagg.

Oh we are on the same page. Not saying it's good lol, I'm saying they should just roll with those young guys, suck really hard and see if any of them are worth continuing to hold on to.

Guys like Tyus/Monte/Delon Wright are good vet basketball players that help you win games. They should be avoiding that next year. Or at least if you do win games, it's on the backs of guys like Davis/Deni/Pick #8/Poole

I love how quiet Monte and his team are lol all we need is a random, poetic quote about Birds and trees and he’s pretty much Geoff Petrie

We've come a long way from our GM accidentally revealing his draft board during a photo op after signing Gabe Vincent to a Stockton Kings contract

Hilarious that Tyus would be a perfect fit for that T-Wolve backcourt to take over for Conley but they traded him away like five years ago.

Yeah, and it likely changed the immediate timeline too.

Givony has us taking O-Max at 24 (Kris goes 23 to the Blazers), Andre Jackson at 38, Tshiebwe with 54.

If the Hornets lets Scoot fall to 3, don't look that gift horse in the mouth Blazers. You just got handed a dream rebuild with Sharpe and Scoot.

Totally down with Oscar. Rebounding next playoffs won't be disappearing with that dude.

Always the off chance that he's one of those guys that was so horribly misused by Calipari at Kentucky that he'll show up at Summer League with a random off-the-dribble game we never got to see.

did Davion work out here, though?

Not that we were ever told. (Keep in mind that there were still COVID protocols in place for his year of the draft process).

 

[iowamcnabb]

These guys have been scouting all year. I don’t know if the workouts mean much with Monte

I’m think I recall he said something on draft night about being surprised the kings picked him because he didn’t work out with them, or something to that effect?

Yeah, i think Monte in particular is very keen on looking at data sets and larger sample sizes that show an advantage at a certain skill or the other.
