2023 NBA Draft Megathread

If we had executed the tank perfectly we would be drafting at 5 and this last year would have been miserable and few here would have watched the games this season. It also would have required trading Lauri for scraps. I'm OK with having had a fun season, a near all NBA player in the All Star Game, and drafting only four spots back with the assets to move up if we need to.

Nope. If we had shifted to "evaluate our players mode" at the all star break then we would have had a 5th worst record. We would have swapped with Portland if the lottery balls fell the same way. We needed to lose 20 of our last 30 and we lost 15 of our last 20.

I wouldn't trade the first half of the season. Just the 2 weeks after all star break where we went 6 / 10 games.

If we committed to the tank then, its a different story. We traded our crew. It was the right time. The team was too competitive for 2 extra weeks. At the time we were 4 games above the bottom 4 teams. The 5 spot was an easy target.

Oh the dude who measured with average leaping ability is now showing off his explosiveness?

You can eye roll all you want, but it's clear Giving tweets fluff on some prospects and not others.

What’s worse if GG performed poorly in a workout or if he said or did something to someone like Givony that now he has a personal agenda to bad mouth him.

It’s just a weird persecution complex the GG folks seem to have… bad things aren’t his fault… it’s everyone around him… it’s why he’s GG Teflon.

Yeah, no one is saying that. It's clear Givony fluffs it for some players and will only point out the positive. If you can't realize that idk what to tell you.

Why do they do this? Because if you bad mouth a CAA client the entire agency will restrict access to their clients. GG doesn't have that.

I get that but why does Givony have it out for GG? What did he hear or what did he say or do to him? Or is he actually hearing he struggled in his workout and reporting the truth? Or is he just an ******* and finally gets to bully someone cuz he doesn’t have an agency backing him?

His mom represents GG. CAA has a team a relationships with all the social media types. Not saying the criticism isn't warranted but if you hire the right team you get the fluff coverage.
 
GG could have Karl Malone syndrome. He just does thing his own way and creates some ruffled feathers, etc. I would take this as a slight negative in the evaluation but it could mean some intense loyalty from him if he becomes good.
