I think The Bosnian Bear, is going to be a double double machine, with good passing, defense, and shot blocking. While also being our enforcer. Really happy we got him.
In the video, Lawson says it was $8200, and that Nurkic wrote out the check. That was a tough-hombre team and wouldn't go over so well on the gentlemanly, Oregonian-sculpted Blazers.
Actually, we picked Durant. OKC got Oden and won 5 straight championships. So, we went back in time to pick Oden instead, and in your timeline, it's Oden that's injured. #itsthetimegodsthemselveswhohavecursedus
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually — from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint — it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly...timey-wimey... stuff.
It was about 8k, probably something about following team rules. Or the vets just made it up since he wouldn't wear the pink backpack.
Haven't followed a draft this closely in a while, which is always fun. Definitely going to be an exciting draft if we go into it with 3 first rounders.
Jermaine o'neill still talks glowingly of the city and organization that drafted and developed him too.
Problem with Walton is he'd pick up a basketball and start talking about Bob Dylan and mountain bikes for 45 minutes
My take is we aren't keeping the first round picks. We might trade one for a 1st next year. The rookie scale deals are about what Festus makes. I don't think Leonard is likely to go. My money would be on Ezeli, Davis, and Aminu.
So you don't even think we enter draft day with 3 picks? How many do we keep? I guess it depends on how sold they are on the depth draft. They won't have a great idea until they can work some of the prospects out, which means if there is any plan to use this draft to improve, that we will hold on to all three of the picks until draft day so that we have the most options to acquire who ever they like. If it really is a deep draft then 3 first round picks could be huge on draft day for something similar to what the Thunder did for Sabonis last year. I can picture LAC moving players to be active in next years draft... If they lose CP3 they could be hard after Fultz. At the same time if GMs were truly sold on the strength of this draft would be have been able to end up with 3 first round picks this easily?
I think they made it up, and they laughed when he just immediately wrote them out a check. At least, that's what I got out of it.
