    Oden was good. I don’t have an issue with injured guys. Collins was a bad pick.

    'clean break' and 'Zach' should never be used in the same sentence

    Why don't we trade all our first round picks since we have no use for them?

    Don't beat yourself down. The Draft, especially in the One & Done Era, is a crapshoot like never before. Most of these guys just aren't ready. But i still see potential in him as a player. Just has to stay healthy. I hate the Spurs though. Not as much as the Lakers though.

    What do the Spurs know to take such a gamble?

    knowing our luck he’ll be healthy and a starting caliber player for years with the Spurs

    Interesting to me they signed Collins. Eubanks has been looking like he could become something someday. Maybe they don't believe in him as much as I thought they might.

    For a guy you claim isn't a bust you sure spend a lot of time making excuses for him. Does it occur to you that successful players don't need excuses?

    After all these surgeries and professional bench time could be emotional compromised and has lost faith in his self. He will always think of the next injury before it happens.

    "bust" to me is a high pick thats bad at bball

    if someones injured, he cant be a bust... for example, markelle fultz is not bust, injury fucked up his career

    i was right that someone will take a chance on zach collins, still to much potential in him... and look, it happened to be probably the best organization in the nba
