Well not sure how much I trust this dude. Yeah some drafts are busts. But he names the 2000 and 2013 draft class as bad and doesn’t even mention 2010 draft, which has only 2 NBA players still in the league. Paul George and Gordon Hayward.
Just wait until the " FoR NoThInG " crew starts chiming in.
It was a bad trade and still is.
Two bad draft class in 23 years? I don’t get the argument.
It was a bad trade, it still is.
Yep, Jak trade was needed. This team is plenty talented but had glaring positional holes. It looked better to buy into the Siakam timeline than the Scottie one given what we knew last year.
In having Kawhi/Danny/Serge/Gasol walk (not the problem), we effectively let a 5th, 8th, 8th, 9th, 20th and 25th pick walk because of where those trade pieces were drafted at. It was never going to be clean
No comment on the trade, but labeling the strength of a draft before the NCAA season starts is stupid.
Thinking you know more than people who are paid to follow and study prospects is stupid.
Want to have a discussion on this, or just call me stupid?
If we finish around .500, I’m OK with what we gave up for Yak, but it’s the timing and not choosing the “blow it up route” that deadline. Unlike a lot of years, there was reason to seriously consider it, even from a FO that historically has not done that and that’s what most people take issue with.
Which is kind of funny because the flip side of it is you could argue we should have traded demar way earlier as it was obvious his weakness in the playoffs were killing us…but he’s treated as some hero that Masai shot and buried.
Regarding the draft, maybe it won’t be deep but stuff like this is said about so many drafts and it ends up being wrong.
