  1. Pelicans got a good chance to get victor they got pick swap with lakers AD is soft and will miss a couple of months with his injury

  2. The Jazz are gonna become the new Pacers of the west unless they do something about it. Mediocre for years, not low enough in draft to get a franchise changer or not high enough in the standings ti be considered a real contender

  3. For the rockets to me it’s clear we’re “going for a top pick. It’s obvious KPJ is not a PG and to go a step further Silas is not our coach of the future, but for reason y’all just said with our draft capital this is the last draft to truly cash in. so they are going to roll the dice this yr and try to get in that bottom 4. I just hope it doesn’t stunt our development of our key guys.

  4. Spurs have drafted terribly from the last few years. Lonnie, Luka, and Primo haven’t worked out well for them at all.

  5. When it comes to the Jazz, people think they aren't doing a good job with tanking, but sometimes it takes a year for a team to go full tank mode. It feels like people forgot that OKC was GOOD during the bubble with Chris Paul, when they could have been tanking for Zion and Ja. Maybe the Jazz get lucky with lottery odds, but I doubt that. Either way, the Jazz have one of the best rebuilds regardless of where they are in the draft, because of the players already on the team and the potential in those late picks in Minnesota and Cleveland.

  6. An element of the teams with a lot of picks is that they don't neccesarily have to tank as they can bundle up picks to move up and pick a player that they really value in the draft

  7. As a non spurs fan i do not like Keldon Johnson at all. Inefficient chucker that does nothing more than score points. Lackluster stat limes.

    I believe Vassell is a borderline all star. He can does evetything on the court that you want.

    Tre could be, at worst a Jeff Teague level player in this league.

    Sochan is just a middling glue guy. Ideally your 5th or 6th best player.

    If i am the spurs i am trying to trade Keldon to a desperate team. Seeing if you caa get a 1st round pick that lands a bit higher than where they drafted him (pick 29) plus maybe two 2nd round picks. I think they will regret it later if they dont act sooner than later.
