    It seems like if Yang was a known commodity, the draft commentators would have known who he was and Silver would have been able to announce the trade with a straight face.

    Jrue, Scoot
    Shaedon, Tisse, Rupert
    Tou, Kris
    Jerami, Deni
    Ayton, Time Lord, Clingan, Reath, Yang

    Those are our guys that are under contract or in Yangs case have draft rights to.

    In a Finals where neither team needed a conventional center..... we now have three.

    major news sites nyt nydn etc. are calling “crazy”. seriously fire everyone. I really don’t think this FO is that bright. Embarassing. The bright side is another lotto pick next year.

    the only way Joe could have topped this was if POR had the first pick and he passed over Flagg. Wouldn’t put it past him. Not kidding.

    I'd have thought getting a 19 year old 7'2 center clearly means Ayton or Williams or Reath are getting traded...I'd have thought that would make fans pretty happy

    Would we still have to have him on the roster for next season? Pay him. We did pick him first round.

    I think Tiaggo Splitter will be good for this kid's game.

    Wtf is true. Cronin just admitted it was a reach. Seems like a wasted opportunity to add one of Coward, Essengue, or Bryant.

    Wow! The second pass on this highlight is absolutely nuts. I'm still angry that we reached so far for this dude but I've watched a bunch of other YouTube highlights of this young huge guy and his feet are really nice and his hands and court vision are unbelievable for a guy his size. He also has what you'd expect from a late first round center in terms of finishing around the hoop, blocking shots and rebounding.

    The guy really could be a big deal.

    Any time you can have back to back lottery picks and end up with a duo of 3rd string/5th string players at the same part time position - your doing great!
