They're both interesting. They're both plus shooters for their size. For Battle, he is a bit more athletic than people give him credit and he's sort of between big wing/small ball 4 on defense in the NBA. He is a good enough shooter that he could have a role in the right spots. For Garcia...

Think how pissed of the Pistons are going to be!

It's no Buc-ees but I'd say it still qualifies as all three.

I'm glad he didn't come here. I would hate having to cheer for him for his entire career.

He also said he was going to play football which was just a lie. It's an impossibility for someone in his situation. Zero percent chance he was going to come here.

LOL. Yeah, I actually forgot about that. Beringer probably has a 3 out of 10 chance of being a good basketball player, but if he hits, it would be homerun. My biggest concern is how much PT Clayton would actually get after we sign Ben Simmons to be our backup PG.

You said you didn't have a problem with Belinger and it sounds like you do? If you're issue was that we should have added someone at #17 (or through trading up) to get someone instead of Belenger who could help now, I don't necessarily disagree. It was just highly unlikely that we would add a...

Yeah, I get the second round. I just didn't really think they'd end up taking anyone here. I think they wanted to stash and I think they got the guy they wanted to stash. I realize he's redundant, but he's 18 years old. Who knows what we will have on our team in 3-4 years. For Garza, it feels...

I once saw Craig Sager eating by himself at JD Hoyts in one of his colorful suits. My girlfriend at the time said "there is like this old white pimp here with crazy shoes on" and I looked over and it was Craig Sager bellied up eating dinner. In a lot of ways, she was right. RIP Craig Sager!

Everyone is trading to get out from under the second apron. Boston just dumped assets. We got a lot more back than most of the teams you're seeing make this move. Brad Stevens just talked about how impactful it is. It's more than a Pohlad-esque salary dump, it's a crippling penalty and not just...

Fleming was going to help us contend with OKC next year because he might leap frog Minott and Miller? That's a crazy take. If we are going to try to legitimately compete with OKC next year, we'll find out with free agency/trade market. It will have nothing to do with what we did with the 31st...

I'd guess they clearly wanted a a stash player. There is not a roster spot for another rookie. Even Fleming, would you rather have him or Minott or Miller? I hate when they just trade for cash, but I think, at most, we were going to come out with a stash prospect.

I just read Glen Taylor made Maya Moore do his dishes.

I liked Clayton and he would have been my choice here. That said, TSJ is seven years older Berenger. I don't know if we have a ton of minutes in the rotation for another young guard looking to get PT. Our staff does like Jaylen Clark, TSJ and Dillingham and with Ant and NAW able to play some...

I liked those guys as well. I probably liked Sorber slightly more than Beringer, but I think Beringer might be the higher upside.
