Nothing showed that Oladipo and Sabonis would play like this. Nothing at all. Pritchard got lucky, yet your giving him credit for his luck? Just so you can say "Remember when y'all said blah blah blah" for the millionth time? Someone gets lucky, and that's why they get paid the big bucks! Yeah. Okay.
Indiana could've traded 18 & 20 up to DEN at 13 to draft Mitchell. DEN traded 13 for 24 (Tyler Lydon) and Trey Lyles. If Indiana played it's hand right it could've had: 13: Mitchell 15: J.Jackson, J.Collins, Anunoby, Giles, etc. 26: Kuzma Lets say they took Mitchell, Collins, and Kuzma. That's better than Oladipo and Sabonis.
Oh come on, don't you get pissed at guys saying trading for Nurk was luck and Neil really valued the pick ? So don't pull off the same shit
No...? I have never once did that. Don't tell me to not pull shit when you don't even know what you're talking about. It was already a good trade and a good gamble on Nurkic. Nurkic's floor was about what Plumlee is, so that plus a pick was a good move. There was some skill in that. It turned out to be an amazing trade for us, but it's not to say he lucked into a good deal the way Pritchard did. We're comparing trading Paul George to trading Mason Plumlee. C'mon now...
I was in Indiana this past summer. People were actually excited about trade, esp since they knew Oladipo from when he played at Indiana University. So there was that. And Oladipo was highly touted as second pick. And Westbrook was hogging spotlight last year. Oladipo was never garbage.
The Thunder are just weak mentally. 2-10 on the road? Can't win unless the crowd is cheering for you? And it's looking like the Pacers won the PG trade. Oladipo will be All Star. PG won't.
