    I mostly love this idea, but I'd rather go for Peyton Watson or Tari Eason over Keon Ellis personally and have Dort at the POA and either Watson or Eason at the wing. I feel like we could get a S&T done with Houston for Eason pretty easily, considering they already have a ton of talented young players on their roster and could get a valuable First for trading Eason.

    Granted, doing that would be a bit of an "all in" move alongside drafting this year's First, trading the '31 for Dort and an OKC pick.

    That said, if we can still do it by then, I'd love to draft Morez Johnson Jr. at #23 after securing Mara first with the OKC pick. Recreate that Double Big frontcourt from Michigan and swap in Eason or Watson at the 3 in lieu of Lendeborg.

    This morning I heard a replay of a guy who was there for Wilt’s 100 point game. I’d heard the interview years ago. Originally I thought “man, what a hater” as the guy basically said the game was a farce and they forced Wilt the ball, made dumb fouls and even the other team helped him get the record. Now, I completely get it.

    If that guy watched what we saw last night then he was 100% correct and my apologies to him.

    Same group of media types calling our championship a Mickey Mouse ring want us to respect this.

    ….. and 100% that was NOT the way Kobe got his 80 OR his 60 in his last game. Those weren’t bogus either.
