News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

I'm fine with Thabo but would rather find a guy with some promise that might be a longer term option... I mentioned Troy Williams a few times because he was sitting on the Jazz side of the arena during the last game in summer league... he might be an option like that.

God damn it. Clippers get JaMychal Green ($5 million per). Warriors get Omari Spellman and Burks.

Grumble.

I watched Spellman in summer league... he looked really big (in a bad way)… I'm not sad we missed on that one. AB needs to go elsewhere... maybe he can get some shine in GS. Green... it sucks but I think getting Jeff Green at the min was about as good as we could do.
 
Who in the league is stopping LeBron or Kawhi on a consistent basis folks? We're in search of a player who either doesn't exist or likely isn't available to us on the marketplace. I think we have some players who can do a good enough job on them as a collective to give our newly nitrous boosted offense a chance to outscore them. Also I think people are forgetting that it's our TEAM defense that is our identity. We haven't had the absolute best individual wing defenders the past few years and we haven't been demolished by the likes of Paul George and James Harden in the playoffs. In fact we've done okay slowing those guys down. We'll be alright even if we don't find that one lockdown wing defender.

Covington would fill out our roster so ****ing sweetly.

My biggest delusional hope after all the opportunity cost of Exum, is that DL finds a way to parlay Exum, Bradley, a draft pick, and a couple used condoms, into a trade for Covington.

Tell Scotty that we’ll retire a number for him next to his dad’s.

Yes, I was thinking this, too after seeing that you noted seeing him. I was trying to find info about him last night. I guess I'd be OK with him as an upside play. I haven't seen much reporting yet that makes me think that he'll be anything more than another lean, athletic 6-7 body to use defensively. Maybe a lot like Sef, but without the savvy and shooting, but (at this point) more athleticism.

Me as well, my man. Me as well. Maybe Brantley and/or Oni and/or JFW would tickle their fancy.

He was on a two way with Sacramento last year... was in their rotation early in the year. I think Bogdon was out. I've always been impressed with his defense, but the shot isn't good... his swag at summer league was phenomenal doe.

Thabo has a lot of experience against LeBron and can hang with him a bit.

Yeah... I just don't know if he is down to be a 14th man ya know... if you have him I think he plays ahead of Niang.
