yeah, NO's got three 2nd rounders this year and a very full roster with lots of young guys. they should be selling at least one if not two. guessing griffin won't like those optics though.
Shaq, Pip, and Ron Harper all have sons in this year's draft. That's wild to me. Laker ties still count for anything? Let's have all 3 pull a Reaves and we'll pick them up as UDFAs.
Kings, Cavs, Minny and ORL should be open for business. They've all got plenty of kids already on their roster.
hmmm...was i wrong about NOP having three seconds? guess so. anyway, minny is definitely a candidate, too. orlando's picks are too high to be bought, imo. we've bought at 46 twice, right? it's hard to buy much higher than that without assets attached.
martin looks tiny. i know i reference jjb a lot, but his frame is like that, as is his game a little bit. it's a tough proposition to succeed at that size, though.
Yes there’s no chance OKC can roster all the picks they have in the next few drafts. They will have to sell some, trade for later picks or stash some in Europe.
I have a soft spot for him since he just helped my Jayhawks win a title. But yeah, I agree. I don’t mind us taking a look at him though.
yeah, i just don't see him bumping mcclung off the developmental ladder here. also, i'm generally just hoping to bring in some guys with size, preferably closer to 6'9", too. pf/sf size guys with either existing marketable skills/hoop iq or noteworthy athletic attributes. that white guy from sc (i think) they had in is in that mold, imo. drew peterson? i'm hoping for someone in that general mold.
i know it's a shallow comparison, but i was watching some guo highlights and i just kept seeing sun yue. similar physical profile and game, iirc. can't imagine lofton could play in the nba.
I'm quite pleased with the number of bigger guards and forwards we've looked at so far. I think Rob hopefully learned from last year's roster and after listening to Ham's sit down podcast where he broke down the player type he's looking for this summer, it was encouraging. The bigger wings seem to be the top priory. Glad we caught on.
