    Hey, just because I'm disappointed in the draft doesn't mean I want a disappointing trade too

    Perhaps we were confused and thought it was the G-League draft?

    33.3 percent from three,
    10.5 boards,
    3.0 assists,

    The defense is encouraging. But suppose he does work out: is Clingan the backup?

    This feels like the script to "Major League".

    I LOVE that trade. This is a carbon copy of last year: I loved the Deni trade and then hated that we traded away all but one of our picks.

    Its wild that he happened to be there NY if he was to be a second rounder? Maybe he knew Portland was taking him all along? New Owner?

    I'm hoping that we're just giving up on Ayton and Williams. Fingers crossed.
