“We like what we have.”

I’d hate for him to go to the suns or something and come in for 3min against the spurs and hurt Wemby or Fox by being a wreck less moron

he'd improve our defense since we wouldn't have to guard him. We'd win the series easily.

2022 draft is officially the worst draft of all time for us. Got absolutely nothing out of it

Honestly pretty amazing when you look at the number of NBA players that came out of it tbh.

unless we re-sign sochan

 

[Wembethical]

how exactly are you upgrading your 8th guy when he makes 3 million dollars? Just curious

Champ won't be making 3 mil next season. They'll decline his option and use his bird rights to pay and extend him.

 

[bozhemoi]

Any reason why Indy is unloading Mathurin?
I know they wanted a center
Not watch much of him. but he's 23/24
numbers look good

Kind of a tunnel vision gunner who doesn't play great defense.

yeah, thats when we play French Vanilla and have Wemby "guarding" sochan

 

[Maddog]

he's due for a contract and they dont want to pay him

Which raises the question is what will the clips do with him

As they should. Give this man 36/3.

 

[scott]

Malaki Branham having more trade value than Sochan was not on my bingo card

 

[LeBowen]

All that drama and the biggest move relevant for the West playoff picture was Timberwolves getting Dosunmu?

That whole draft isn't great. You should check it out:

2022 NBA draft - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Chet is probably the best player of the bunch, and he's complementary. Jabari Smith isn't great, Banchero is horribly inefficient, Murray has gotten worse, Mathurin and Ivey just got traded, Shaeden Sharpe isn't that good, lots of busts. The big find was Jalen Williams and Duren has been solid. Some decent role players scattered around, but it's already looking like a not-great draft.

One last (surprising) move. Cam Thomas is instant offense. Someone will scoop him up quick tbh. Please don't be the Rockets or Lakers.

I'll go 1985 when someone spiked the guacamole in San Antonio

No, not really.

 

[Blizzardwizard]

I wanted a power forward at the trade deadline.

I compromised. I bitched about not getting one on baselinebums.com

They hated him. Egotistical chucker who is awful at everything else.

 

[Sugus]

Fuck man, I really didn't want to go into the postseason with Sochan still on the roster. That's 14 out of 15 players trying to be united, and another one looking out the window for his next home. Just bad vibes. Smh

 

[RC_Drunkford]

Champ won't be making 3 mil next season. They'll decline his option and use his bird rights to pay and extend him.

and if you want to upgrade him how do you do that? Are you miraculously trading his new 12 million salary for Trey Murphy's 30?

 

[Robz4000]

No, not really.

True, they took a non-NBA player in the lottery the year before as well. Not surprising when you put it that way.

 

[BatManu20]

Egregious defender tbh. But when he's on, he can light it up with the bet of them.

 

[Mugen]

BWrong:
"That was today?!"

No, I said that the whole draft was pretty bad. You're making it out like it was a good one, when it wasn't. Actually take a look at it.

It's true that there are no true franchise players, but lots of good players available. Just counting outside the lottery: Mark Williams, Tari Eason, Christian Braun, Walker Kessler, Peyton Watson, Andrew Nembhard, Jaylin Williams, Max Christie, Ryan Rollins. Spurs could have had 3 of those guys, not to mention Jalen Williams or Jalen Duren. A typical GM might get fired for fumbling 3 picks like that, though I have to admit I would have performed horrendously in that draft also.
