I want Perry Jones here bad; he fits the Neil targeting system. Give him starters minutes & dude will produce (showed some VERY nice glimpses when KD was out)! Also, I could b wrong of course but... I'm feelin' Neil targeted KJ early on; he felt RHJ (KJ's a VERY similar player) could b moved bc he was/is going after KJ!
Dame/Frazier Cj/Hendo/Project Pat Aminu/Crabbe/ Hairy Spanish Dude Eddie D/ NV Nards/Plums/Kaman That's already 13 guys. Fuck it, roll with that.
I'd still like to fuck with the Thunder by offering a max deal to Kanter to fuck up the idea of Durant coming back by making that cheap ass owner pay top dollar to bring Kanter back. If he let Kanter come here, that would just show Durant he doesn't care about winning, and make him more likely to leave. Win-win.
As is, if kaman doesn't play at all, there are 24 mpg for each of the 4 bigs we already have. Kanter is interesting, but meh.
Keep in mind Olshey said they'd be using CJ McCollum at backup PG during the post-draft interview. Perry Jones III may be a possibility, maybe KJ McDaniels. Pat Connaughton is a 2, so hopefully he works out, if he can't get minutes yet, I hope he develops, great athlete, good motor and passion.
Outside McDaniels/Fornier/Barnes/Kanter -- these are players I'd offer up our pick next summer, minimally protected if any: Steven Adams Joel Embiid or Nerlens Noel Harrison Barnes Evan Fournier KJ McDaniels Enes Kanter Jabari Parker
Obviously i'd have it top-5 protected. There is a hhhhhuge dropoff in talent after that, maybe even after 3. This draft is weak.
Way to early to say that IMO. All it takes is 3-4 players to greatly improve in college, 2 more players who have not played college ball yet......3 more from Europe........ and all of a sudden you are 10 deep.
Yeah, and worst case scenario, we get a guy that will probably be second on the team in scoring to flip in a trade later.
Our pick next summer has already been traded though. You mean you'd want to try and get these guys next year? Harrison Barnes is a restricted FA, and GS will already have 73 million invested in 6 players. Maybe we can get Harrison Fucking Barnes afterall? Hassan Whiteside will also be unrestricted
Crabbe should be 2-3 can play SF and DWright could play 3-4 Tim Frazier can play the pt and CJ is working at pt offseason
