    Well fell almost as far as we could.

    Detroit must not be happy either. Fell as far as they could, still a 5th though.

    Worst record gets you a 14% chance. And i dunno if Flagg is 'all that.'

    Not really. Getting #1 was the only real difference maker. The top 6 will probably have three point guards taken. We weren't gonna take any of them. We were always going to go for a 3 or 4. Maybe Clingan. Getting #7 has actually changed very little.

    Ok. Point still stands. I would take 14% over 0%.

    This is beautiful. It couldn’t have gone better. Maybe Portland will finally learn it doesn’t pay to tank.

    In two years we should have at least a couple more young pieces (with two lottery picks this year, one next year, and then one in 2026, right as their two years are up)... so paying veterans what they are worth is not the worst thing ever. As opposed to the team we have now and paying a guy like Grant so much money in spite of being on the wrong side of 30.

    I'm not opposed to trading either of them, but I don't mind them on the team the way I do the other guys I mentioned in this thread.

    Portland has been cheating for three years in a row. This is karma.

    Actually this might be fortuitous. We could still get a player with just as much potential as the guys at the top for much less money. This draft does not have clear cut top 4 players.

    I believe this is the first time this exact thing has happened.

    Cope post, but: for us to slide, at least it comes in a year where there is no clear cut top tier outside of maybe sarr. For all we know, Schmitz and team could land their top prospect at 7 given how split people are on this draft

    Last year we jumped, this year we dropped, that's just the way it goes.

    This is not a year to be upset dropping because it's very possible #7 could turn out to be the best player
