this one hurts he was one of my favorite players from OSU. I watched a ton of his games and watched when he played for GS. He didn’t look like the same player I didn’t see him him have one of his signature highlight dunks, just didn’t seem to want to show the team or fans much. Disappointed…..
Also got 2026 Memphis second round and 2028 warriors second round. Actually a solid haul for a guy who didn’t wanna be here
I kinda feel like these 2nd rounders are valuable, they are good for helping complete a trade and with the uncertainty around drafting High School players maybe we get lucky with one of these picks once that resumes, 2024 right?
they signed him 6 months ago! why didn't they vet him before bringing him in?! if olshey had done this, this forum would have raked him over the coals
They thought highly of Payton a few months ago also. I hope Thybulle can prove something on the court.
Two of those picks have a real chance of not conveying. The Memphis pick is protected 30-42 and the Hawks pick in 2025 is protected 40-60.
He's a rookie GM and he's addressed that already...I like him, he has skills but Ainge strung him along and dumped him for the Lakers which by then a few other guys he was interested in were already traded....I think Joe has also put together a hell of a staff that's knowlegeable....some things are out of his control....the Lakers and Suns and Mavs changed everything when it comes to win now spending. It's obvious he's keeping Nurk and signing Grant off season. I wouldn't go into the tax for this under 500 team that's streaky at this point. I'm sure they won't either...summer maybe different.
Correct... raking him over the coals. I wouldn't say he's getting a free pass. Nor am I saying he should get a free pass.
