    If we could have got Duren, we would have had the two quietest guys in the entire draft!

    Basically, we don't want to use the pick because of some unintended consequences.

    When we made the pick, he got a text from "someone" and instantly became super somber. That's the context. Won't say exactly what, but you can probably make some educated guesses based on the fact that we used the pick and didn't trade it.

    Whoa! Maybe taking Duren means they aren't after Ayton.

    I hope Ochai has a nice career despite beating my Tar Heels in the championship game. He is very likeable

    While we were on the clock he basically said straight up the asking price was 7 + another first + one of nas/hart. And then Joe walked away from the deal.

    They valued getting away from Walker’s contract more than Duren.

    You think the 13th pick this year is better than Grant? Especially with Dame’s timeline?
