Certainly the hope. Trying to stop the Lebron to Miami, KD to GS, unless they give up the check. Certainly incentivized. What may end up helping is how ridiculously hard those contracts are to get rid of while in the 2nd apron. Once you’re in you’re stuck. My complaint is mostly the the top...

Yeah, that kind of stinks. What was it? Any particular part of his game or general?

Don’t forget 2 steals. 7 blocks 2 steals 8 boards in 23 minutes …. Screw everything else kid, thats enough. Ok. Great draft. Even if the kid ultimately busts, he was worth a try.

The one poo issue is they did the 2nd apron stuff, but didn’t do anything with the max deals. They’re just grossly overpriced. Now I don’t care so much about the player getting the money, as the further it will get them to push the SGA type rules players. That relative skewness where the...

Nice, I was just gonna get into that. I hate inertia based moves as much as anyone.. Focus on team chemistry and team skill improvement. Don't sign up for a winners' curse just to satisfy "optics." You helped the team. Focus on what you can control. Then use patience. Keep looking for...

I iike Giddey, but the book on him is Defense sucks. Can’t say I’ve evaluated enough to echo that comment. I think he sure woud be fun see here.

Appreciate the report. I value your player assessments. My snap feeling is, I hope we didn’t pick Indi Ebi again. Potential without demonstrable production is always a scary proposition in sports drafts. Although, leading adriatic league in blocks? In only 18 minutes, with up and down...

ok, Jamir Watkins? For 31?

Without much research the Spanish gaurd is my horse right now. Big competitive bastard.

Interesting. I guess anyone that can rely on “quick feet” after only 3 years of basketball to beat pros has something to him. Sounds like he has the athletic skills and not the total basketball package yet.

I really hope they like Dillingham. A guy already on your roster is always ideal. And he does have some tools.

And Jakucionis is someone I'd echo. I'd didn't see much of Clayton.

I'd be wiling to bet we don't see this guy play for a year. Can they stil stash em in Europe?

Who'd you prefer? I cringed looking at his stats in the mocks. There was talk of us wanting him. I really think Tim Connelly is the guy of guys in the draft room. His track record is phenomenal. I take a lot of comfort from that.

There's a book out called "Performing under pressure." Supposedly, neuroscientific backed advice, on the how. In that book, one of the strategies to reduce anxiety from a situation that would otherwise make you nervous, is to reframe the topic from a threat, to a challenge. “It’s almost...
