Agreed. Danny is setting fans (and himself?) up for disappointment I think. Is there a way they could get to 4 picks (with Milwaukee pick included)? Maaay-be.. but 5 picks? I hardly see that as being possible. Here is the only way they get to 5 in my opinion. They trade with Boston, who throws in only Brogdon, salary filler (no Timelord). Boston trades us three pretty crappy firsts, and somehow manage to talk the Clippers into taking on Brogdon for another first. Even then, we might prefer a different deal with less, but higher quality firsts. I think Danny is exaggerating a bit here... as he has been wont to do.
Absolutely. I don't think Scoot needs rookies at all. It's just a timeline to keep players around him.
Depending of picks would be the caveat, but yeah I agree. We kind of already know what he’ll be, so he has an established floor. He’s the backup 4 behind Grant. If Kris and Walker want to get on the floor, they’re going to have to prove they can shoot, defend, and hustle more than Collins. They are low ceiling players who are suppose to be NBA ready, we don’t need to pour minutes into them until they show they can compete. He would be like Brogdon or Ball, guys who would be good as an off-the-bench piece, except he’s healthy right now.
Disagree. Collins (in a down year) is an average NBA starter quality player. JJJ has Hart potential I agree that Jovic is meh But all-in-all, not a bad return
It's pretty telling that the Hawks, not exactly overflowing with talent, basically just dumped Collins. He's all sizzle, no steak.
Jovic is only 20. The guy has a great feel for the game IMO. Great passer that Shae and Ayton would benefit from. He could be a bust but I would not sleep on him either. Again he is only 20.
Are you sure Jrue can move to another team with additional players included? Thought it had to be just him going out to a new team?
Blazers send Holiday to OKC for Dort Dieng Bertans, 3 of their less valuable FRP (2024 UTA 2025 MIA 2027 DEN) Blazers send Dort filler to Miami for Herro and 2028 FRP, Blazers eat Duncan Robinson shit contract Blazers send Herro to CHA for 2028 FRP So Blazers acquire FIVE picks, taking on Duncan Robinson and Davis Bertans shitty contracts. Add the Bucks picks and it's SIX first round picks for Lillard!!! Heat get Hayward Hield Dort Theis while getting our of Herro and DR shit contracts Hornets get Herro Dieng for a pick Pacers get a Miami FRP for switching Hield with Lowry
Didn’t they trade multiple 1sts to trade up for Dieng? Hard to believe they’d give up this much for Holiday.
You said “Idon’t get the big enthusiasm for kuminga because the rest of package will be shit” he’s a good young prospect at a position/type of player need. and who said the rest of the package would he shit? I’d rather have an nba product that can’t see the floor because he’s behind a bunch of championship veterans that fits our timeline than a 2 picks from Boston in 5 years. And we’d probably get picks in too if kuminga anyway. Maybe not 2 but
His defense looks like a no go. I don't think that's going to change much. We need to look at fit as much as talent. We need to lead with defense.
