They're gonna look brilliant if they get the #1 pick and draft Peterson. Not so much if they get the #3 pick and draft Boozer though :st-lol:

JJJ on a 30% max means trading Fox in a year and then trading one of Castle or Harper in two. No thanks. EDIT: Oops no it means trading two of Fox / Castle / Harper in two years. Still no thanks.

Jesus just saw the trade and was thinking wow GG Jackson got the Grizzlies three picks in return? WTF giving up JJJ for that dogshit return?

I'll go with Occam's razor and say it's just about money. Clippers see no reason to pay Harden an $80 million contract. Harden could give a shit about winning or the situation the team is in if the money is still green.

If they salary dump Isiah Joe and Dieng to the Clippers plus the pick for Zubac and renounce Hartenstein next summer they're still about $4 million over the second apron. If they throw Topic in to LAC too they might be able to just squeeze under the second apron with rookie minimum signings to...

Garland has been out 40% of the season including the last 2 1/2 weeks and Memphis and Dallas are only 3.5 - 4 games back. When Kawhi gets hurt again they'll have a 2-11 stretch that puts OKC right in the mix to get a high pick again.

And yet the motherfucker had to end us with that three in Game 5 of the 2012 WCF

God damnit, the only winner here would be OKC

I should say I don't see Castle becoming a yearly allstar or anything. More like a guy who could make it say 3-5 times and be there on the fringe for many years. Now Harper I could genuinely see as a yearly allstar if he hits his upside projections.

Amen looks completely hopeless of ever developing a shot you have to guard outside of 12 feet. He might as well be Bismack at the three point line. Castle if he stops the idiotic Steph Curry fire the three up off the dribble early in the shot clock still looks to be a good offensive weapon and...

I myself think Harper is the better prospect of the two and only disagreed with the idea Harper is better right now. I do think Harper has a quite a bit lower floor though. The shooting puzzles me so much since he was 40%+ on catch and shoot at Rutgers and he misses wide open practice shots...

Amen you flat out do not have to guard anything but the drive. He shoots 20.3% on catch and shoot threes, which is why the Spurs could get away playing the COVID defense of giving him six feet of separation on the perimeter. Steph's three point shooting is bad but it's 10.5% higher than Amen on...

I don't see that at all. Steph is an awful three point shooter but you can look past that a bit because of how great he is defensively. Definitely looks like he'll be an All NBA defender for years. Meanwhile Harper is a worse three point shooter without the incredible defensive skill Steph has...

You seem to think he's Keith Bogans?

McDaniels is not getting this team over the hump from being top 4 in the west to number 1 in the west. What we saw in Charlotte is a clear example of why I say this team isn't ready to win a title because Wemby isn't there yet.
