I think you both underestimate the value of a guy that almost every big time scout calls the best prospect since LeBron and the best big since Duncan. Watch the way this dude moves, he's not the house of toothpicks that Holmgren was/is he's like a stretched out Durant he moves too smoothly to be a problem. He's the very clear first pick ahead of a really great second and third in Scoot and Miller because his skills, body and the way he moves it are generational. If we get the first pick we'll keep Wemby or I'm guessing Schmitz quits. That being said Ant and Sharpe don't match for Simmons but And and Nurk do but if it was Ant and Nurk for a guy whose image is as broken as Ben's it would be Ant and Nurk for Ben Simmons and FRPs plural. If we wanted to include Sharpe we might need an additional future first to get OG but maybe not and definitely not the first pick in the draft OG is a elite role player not a superstar. I think if we wanted OG for the pick and Ant during the 2022 draft we would have had him but correctly our front office valued Ant and Sharpe as being more valuable than OG. Not necessarily for Dames timeline but I'd rather have Miller on his rookie deal than OG just in terms of sheer value. Number one picks in good draft classes don't get broken former all stars or a player the tier below an all star. That's not me being unrealistic about the assets we have because we likely won't get that but it's me being real about shit that I thought was common sense.
I do not. They were being serious about what it would take to get those guys. If I'm wrong @Natebishop3 and @Mediocre Man please correct me but you guys were being serious when you paired the number one pick in this draft with Ant and Sharpe (the number 7 pick in last year's draft) for OG or Simmons.
Sorry then. If you understand that OG is only maybe worth Shae and Ant then cool if you understand that the number one pick in a draft that is considered strong is worth far far more than a guy that's never made an all star team then that's even better.
You guys crack me up. The Moda Center would be burnt to the ground. Is it really that hard to catch a joke around here?
Jokes can be hard. I legit think Ant, Sharpe, Thybulle and Reddish will be moved for guys like OG, etc. so while obviously we wouldn’t include Wemby, it was just a slight exaggeration. Plus, people have different senses of humor. Example: every joke is a funny joke with the right delivery……except abortion jokes because they have no delivery. See, to me that is a brilliant joke, but some people get offended, even though it is not pro or anti anything. It’s just a fact. Anyway, so maybe it’s more on me than them?
I just go through this place like everyone is here to have fun. Abortion jokes never get old. I might have just offended someone.
Anyone who gets offended by comedians needs to get desensitized by spending a few hours listening to Jeselnik, Jeffries, and Carr.
The list of likely available players capable of really making the team a LOT better ain't that big. I am going with the odds: ain't getting the FRP. Banish those thoughts of Wemby from your mind.
