    Charlotte traded #13 pick to Detroit…. Did Detroit agree to take on a Hayward salary dump?

    If so, that kills Westbrook to Charlotte as an option…

    … either that or Charlotte moved on because they didn’t want to wait on the Lakers to see if they can get Kyrie for Westbrook first lol

    Think they've be much better off pushing the chips in on Bridges and go cheap on a stop gap C instead of wasting their money on Ayton.

    I was always blown away by KD when he said he couldn't take the drama that followed Lebron and that he figured most good players didn't want to play with him because of it. I knew that it was ONLY a matter of time before that drama was going to be following KD and now that it does, he is clearly not skilled at handling it. He just comes off as a disgruntled wannabe, KD seems to have the ability to rarely take the right path or say the smart thing.

    Joe Tsai liked this tweet. “Team and culture > any one player”

    If we end up firing Rob, we should totally target the Detroit GM.

    He managed to get 2 lotto picks for Jerami Grant while still having cap space for a max player like DeAndre Ayton, you end up drafting the best guard in the draft to have a Cunningham/Ivey back court and the center they drafted looks like a nice prospect.

    Nicely done.

    Some Draft Day Kevin Costner stuff from Detroit. Start it by appearing to lose a trade then made out like a gangbuster on draft day

    Gets $10m to record a podcast in Memphis, eat some BBQ, get a front row seat to the Ja show and then retire. Not a bad way to spend a year. He won't get booed like he did in Philly.

    I do think Detroit has done a great job recently, but GM’ing a rebuilding scenario is a completely different beast than GM’ing the Lakers when they’re in a Lebron controlled championship window

    He worked under Sam Presti for years.

    He was an assistant General Manager, IIRC

    Potentially they have 5 1st rounders next year, depending on those protections.
