    for all we know Detroit could be good by 2025 with prime Cade + other pieces. Their second might be in the 45-60 range. Not too worried (yet).

    Yes, yes it does. I would have done that trade without a second thought. I don’t care HOW he got it done, but he got it done. Now draft Murray, Sharpe, Daniels, Duren or Sochan in that order if available. Although Im tempted to bump Sochan a bit. I wish we could somehow get two of those guys like Sochan and Duren if we trades for Charlotte’s picks and then got lucky as they fell to us. A guy can dream!!!

    In my opinion and probably recency bias, in terms of what we gave up to get (and also understanding my not wanting grant) this may be the best trade he's done so far.

    Shrewd, even. This was what Olshey thought he was doing when he did his shitty shrewd moves. This is actually shrewd in terms of a players potential asking price and negotiating down to a win for us. I don't think that Mil 2025 is gonna be good at all unless giannis gets injured in 2024 and you can't control that.

    Extend Cronin!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Phenomenal that we did it with a 2025.

    What is the story on his contract? Is this a one year rental or do we have a shot at some time with him?

    Hm, so either the 7 is going to Portland, or maybe to Toronto for OG?

    But do they need OG and Grant?

    Can not wait for all the Cronin-haters to go into hiding.

    I love Grant at this value. We need more moves if we want to compete though

    Also betting Grant gets an extension this coming off-season. Hopefully we don't shoot ourselves in the foot.

    I hope we put some protection on the Bucks pick. It is already protected 1-4, but hopefully Joe learned from the NOP disaster and put 5-14 protection on it.

    It just hurts a little less.

    The clippers trade will always be unforgivable but I may at least leave the door unlocked on that now lol

    Now it’s pretty much assured we will be making a pick in the first tomorrow. Sharpe/Daniels looking real good now. But I can’t lie, that theoretical OKC offer is pretty intriguing still.
