    Neil will mine last years rookies as teams get the new flavor of the summer picks on their roster...

    Really hoping Dame's buddy McKinley Wright IV slips out of the draft.

    I wish I had your faith in Neil.

    That said: if he does, I hope he goes after the Mavs' first rounders that they didn't play last year (Tyler Bey and Tyrell Terry), especially as they have an all-new FO and won't feel any loyalty to Nelson's picks.

    Because that's how you're going to get Dame to stay. One more year of development....

    Come on now.

    Lowe is resigned to quoting Woj off the ESPN tv feed? Mining for likes much?

    If you want Simmons you have t0 wait until Philly stops asking for the moon. Which then ties up your assets until that dream is crushed.

    Olshey’s greatest move might just be convincing Lillard to stay another year. That’s altogether inexcusable IMO…

    Dame, Chauncey & Neil have and understanding with regards to urgently addressing the roster of which draft night probably isn't one of the tactics.

    Neil can’t draft for shit in the first round.

    Picking in the 2nd round is literally the only thing he does well as GM.

    Neil is out of excuses. He fucked this up years ago so just say Dame and Chauncey. Neil doesn't belong in any of it. Just a puppet and a joke.

    Congrats to Olshey for not making a bad 1st round draft pick this year.
