Everything 2024 Draft

[MixxAOR]

That part doesn't matter at all. No one we've ever traded for wanted to come here.

Yeah for superstars it does matter. But whatever man

[Primer]

as long as we dont draft a point guard and none of those g league guys. Am I the only one that has noticed the gleague guys have all flopped in the nba so far?

Nope, I've noticed too and read articles from analysts pointing that out as well. The way it was set up it stunted all of their development. Make guys go to college or just let them go pro out of high school.

Kawhi didn't wanna come here, still did. Dame didn't wanna go to Milwaukee, still did.

Whatchu mean as long as they don't draft a PG? a PG is exactly what they need.

Harden left where he wanted to three times lol Dame was in stand off whole summer till he agreed to Bucks. You think that brings good vibes to the team I got bridge to sell you.

Kawhi didn't wanna come here, still did. Dame didn't wanna go to Milwaukee, still did.

Bucks were on his list. As were the Nets.

Bucks were on his list. As were the Nets.

His list was Miami. He only wanted Miami. Was begging publicly for Miami. Miami would not make a good offer so he didn't go there. All that matters is the offer.

[planetmars]

I think you could get a star to play for you.. but the problem is the cost to get a star is just way to crazy high. It changed when Balmer gave into Presti with that crazy package. But Gobert was traded for like 4 picks as well.

It's just insane how much value these guys had in the trade market. That needs to calm down. But yeah I think most teams take into account the stars feelings. Because you don't want a toxic situation to play out.

His list was Miami. He only wanted Miami. Was begging publicly for Miami. Miami would not make a good offer so he didn't go there. All that matters is the offer. The Bucks getting him came out of left field because they absolutely were not on his list.

Yup.. and then expanded to Milwaukee and Brooklyn when Miami wasn't working out.

So he didn't get to go where he wanted to go. He got traded to the team that made the best offer. Portland was more than willing to trade us Dame, but we wouldn't make a strong enough offer so the Bucks got him.

your going to pass on cody dalton sarr for reed who probably the best point guard in this draft?

[MixxAOR]

Yeah or convincing a guy to play for champs and MVP is easier than playing with whatever would've been left of Raptors

So he didn't get to go where he wanted to go. He got traded to the team that made the best offer. Portland was more than willing to trade us Dame, but we wouldn't make a strong enough offer so the Bucks got him.

Once its known that a star is willing to play for you, that team is willing to open up the coffers and give out more. So yeah of course the Bucks had a great offer. They wanted him, and once it was confirmed that he'd be okay to play there the deal was done.

No team is going to give up a lot for a disgruntled player only for the situation to remain toxic. So the "best" offers will always typically come from teams that made the stars player's list. Problem for Miami is that their best offer was still pretty weak as they were not going to part with either Jimmy or Bam, and the rest of their guys weren't as valuable to make Portland consider it. Plus they only had like 1 draft pick they could trade.


If Kawhi was open to play for Toronto and was leaning on the side of re-signing.. we would have likely given up way more to make sure the deal gets done quickly.

We don't have a lottery pick dude. But if it comes down to Cody vs Dalton vs Reed. Yes I would take Reed 10/10.

Yeah, that's why we got a decent return for Pascal.
