It's looking like Adams, and I'm okay with that

    I haven't watched the scouting videos on Adams, but based on the little I've read I'd be alright with picking him at #10.

    I was thinking about that this AM. I believe that is where he belongs

    This.

    Drafting Adams or Gobert is an open admission they are just tanking next season.

    I'd draft adams just for the personality and comedy that would come with it. Get patty mills back and give those two a radio show!

    BRILLIANT!!! Repped.

    Find a way to draft CJ McCollum too and it would be even better

    If they pick Adams, I wonder if his positive impressions of the city have anything to do with it. You can't afford to draft players that really don't want to live in the PNW.

    If we draft Adams, can we get him a set of grills he can wear in games?

    Man tough call

    Zeller is BPA > Adams

    but Adams has more potential IMO

    I could see it. Sort of a homeless man's KG minus the defense and rebounding.

    Technically if Adams has a higher ceiling than Zeller then wouldn't that make him the "BPA" as it were? Not that I'm saying he is or isn't.

    IDK. That's why BPA is not an exact science by any means. Ceiling is based on potential, and potential is not guaranteed.

    I'm not a fan of drafting projects in the new CBA, if they don't pan out you wasted a draft spot that that should have been a rotational player, if they do pan out you have to give them a fat contract as a RFA.

    You want guys who are NBA ready so they provide great value relative to their small rookie contract.

    A very good argument to trade down and take Dieng!

    Adams had 10 pts and 15 rebounds for the Thunder tonight. But we didn't need him because we had Leonard.

    Lopez had 13 and 13 with 2 blocks.

    What's your point?

    I thought there was some rationale for why the Blazers did that trade or something or wait, what?

    I hate how people bring up stuff, just cause somebody has a good game. Who was the guy who the Spurs got and everybody was pissed off about......Blair. Guy doesn't even fucking play anymore.

    Okay, okay! I'll stop! It just hurts more because it was the Thunder that got him. I don't mind missing out on Schroder or Antetokounmpo because they went to sad-sack teams.

    I do hate the Thunder! Never wish injuries on anybody, but I'm glad to welcome them to OUR club.
