Kon Knueppel over Ace will never not be funny. I think we'll say the same about VJ some day but we'll see.

He is so fun to watch. This whole team should be fun to watch.

Thank you Cy for bumping I came back to do the same.

You're right then they're basically the same person.

The KD comparisons are bonkers, KD was in his own God-tier as a prospect, IMO. But Ace may just be one notch below. Really rare skillet there. I can semi-understand how a GM would take VJ or Kon ahead of him, but man, certainly good fortune he was there for us at 5.

Fair enough. He's a lil guy.

Not watching but looks like Ace is a future HOFer? How's my boy WCJ looking?

LOL - what the hell?

Turns out we really screwed ourselves not trading Lauri. I was on the "keep Lauri" wagon so I missed the boat there as well.

Will always be a fan. Hard to stay dialed in and watch 60 losses. I'll more or less be tracking the team thru the box scores / JFC commentary.

That's a fair point. I just have a hard time attributing value to an unprotected pick owned by the LA's, Philly's, NY's of the world. These teams can generally maneuver and spend out the *** to not be terrible, which they're incentivized to do when they don't own their pick. Never know, of...

Lauri's future value is considerably higher than Paul George's at this point in their career. Taking on PG's contract for a single FRP is simply not worth it. Can't imagine that's the deal that gets struck, if indeed there is one.

This one feels pretty clear cut. We know we will suck, the question is, do we have anyone we'd like to build around / carry forward in a future core.

I look at it as we "paid" to dump Sexton + had to take $ back to get to the salary floor. But why we were the team that had to add the pick is interesting to me.

Payroll dump for BOS. Great move all around.
