If we are blowing it all up I agree. If we are getting this to do something around Don I am stunned. And I seriously doubt these become 1-4 lottery picks which is what Danny ended up with round one. These have very little chance of becoming anything other than middle range guys. People get all excited about draft picks but most picks dont translate into much.
It could happen. So I guess if folks are excited about rolling the dice they should be excited. I would have prefered some real talent and we got none.
I think it's at least somewhat likely that the team will suck but Ayton will be more valuable individually than what we have to give up to get him. I don't mind just trying to rehab his value if the price is right.
Even if they don't... we got Rudy with the #27 pick in the draft. If KAT and Towns don't work well the picks could get good pretty quickly. If Ant takes a step back instead of forward... it gets interesting. West is gonna be a blood bath. So a team ends up in the play in and anything can happen... ask the Clips.
Of course they could but the odds are against it - this is a wing and a prayer. We traded an all star and HOF type player and got very little known talent in exchange. And folks are excited about it? Again, I hope this means we are blowing it all up. If this is to build around Donny it is very puzzling.
The Pelicans got the 8th pick from the Lakers and one of the Clippers picks was in the lottery for OKC this year. Houston controls Brooklyn's draft for the foreseeable future, didn't look valuable when they traded Harden, now it does.
Exactly what I was thinking. 2023 should be a bad pick, but you never know about later than that.
Also... masterclass... Ainge trades Rudy for 4 picks... now Suns can get a few picks (from Indy maybe) to send Brooklyn's way to get teh KD deal done... Brooklyn sends those picks to Miami to get Herro... Miami sends all teh picks to us.
I want Bam, Herro, and 3/4 unprotected 1sts
