    I'd LIKE your post (I can't believe I'm actually replying to you) but you are a Rook with not enough forum swag. Sorry.

    It matters IMO. You don't select someone at three when they are also going to be available at 7 or 8. If they wanted that then as you say they should have traded down. They traded up instead so clearly they didn't rate Smith.

    If the Thunder completely tank, I'd try to swoop in on Paul George. I think there's a very real chance they lose George and Anthony this summer, and they're left with an unhappy Westbrook and zero bench.

    Yeah, I was upset because I knew we could have won that game. When the game is so close, and the Blazers could have had it had they been smart, with a 3-0 start on the horizon, there is bound to be reaction. Fact is we got tired and let it slip away with foolish mistakes. Bucks are a hell of team, Giannis has a bright future ahead of him in the NBA.

    Clark son is legit.

    He's been the best/most-consistent on that team for a few years now. Russell is really good too. Like young Eric Gordon, but a better passer.

    I think you're forgetting how bad the lakers have been the last few years. Who has their best player been?

    I also don't think he's ever been to the d-league.

    I think we're proving each others point. The lakers suck, and Clarkson is only so good that he's making a Lakers team only marginally better in the last 2 years.

    I never said he was a superstar lol. I said he was the best player on one of the worst teams. Borderline all star in the east probably.

    No doubt Clarkson is a solid combo guard off the bench. If they did not give him 50 mil last year....he would be long gone.

    I think that's a pretty reasonable contract for him. Like 9 million less per year than crabbe. And he's a lot better than crabbe.

    It took 3 spectacular defensive plays and 40+ points from a top 5 all NBA guy, AT HOME for them to beat us by only 3.

    Perspective is a MF.

    I'm not sure why Philly is even playing Fultz. They have never been afraid to sit a rookie through injuries and the guy is a complete non factor out there with his shoulder. He won't shoot a jump shot. With the injury he is effectively playing like the worst player in the NBA.

    I get that. Showing the will to fight through an injury is a good sign. I give him props for that. But, he shouldn't be playing. Whatever his injury is, he is complete garbage on the court.
