    Giddey's strength is his point skills. His weaknesses are defense and shooting. As we need Scoot to be the point (he's not much good off the ball) I'd say Jerami suited us better than Giddey, and we want to trade Jerami!

    What I find hilarious is that OKC didn't throw in a pick. I swear Presti is a literal pick hoarder. It's a compulsion.

    I just do not think he is a fit for this team and I have questions about his character and even though he was found not guilty or whatever the fact he was even in that spot concerns me.

    I believe in Scoot but at this point I don't think we should be picky with young talent. Especially this cheap. Maybe Giddey fits better with Ant at the 1?

    Euro-steps, crab dribbles, palming. The refs were mean in the 90's and whistled anything that looked like a walk.

    I've been trolling the Lakers on YouTube. It's hilarious, some of their fans agree with my smack talk

    They are going to throw 25m a year at Hartenstein. Mark my words.

    lol
    did no one learn anything from the damage Poeltl caused in Toronto? Non-athletic gun shy Centers are not worth lottery picks, let alone 25m.

    Hartenstein is different kind of player than Peoltl. He is almost exactly what that team is missing. My opinion, of course.

    If I were Hartenstein it would take a vast overpay to prefer living in Oklahoma to living in New York City and playing in Madison Square Garden.

    I don't know he hosts a podcast with the dude. I would think that JJ was LeBron's first choice but really I think LeBron staying depends on what Pelinka does to make the win now part of the roster better around LeBron and AD.

    Fair point. Money talks though 9 times out of 10.

    Great news for us, another shooter that is no longer on the table for the Magic.

    I also hope this means that they don't take Jared McCain and he drops to #14.

    This and the Caruso trade both really help create a market driven by panic to respond.

    So Grant, Rob, Brog and Ant are all gonna be traded? We are definitely getting Cooper Flagg.
