[grindhouse]

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.

Cody has bust written all over him. Dalton is not good enough to be picked in the top 6. Sarr is a C. You know what I feel about C.

draft reed over them is like young over luka

No it isn't, except in your mind. Those guys ain't Luka's.

Most everyone has Sheppard ranked above Knecht and Williams. On the other hand pretty well no one has him over Sarr.

I like Dalton but not in the top 6. Reed is a better fit/player

[grindhouse]

reed has potential dont get me wrong but i think we can hit a home run instead of third base

I know Peltons projections were discussed earlier, but here's Sheppard's.

Although Sheppard's 52% 3-point shooting (on a robust sample of 144 attempts) is regressed down to a projected 39% as an NBA rookie, that's still the best projection for any player since Doug McDermott -- who had multiple years of college data -- in 2014. Sheppard's projected 2.5 steals per 100 plays, second among players in this year's top 100, is almost as impressive as his shooting. Thanks largely to those key skills, Sheppard has the best stats-only projection in this year's draft.

[Primer]

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.

Nope, still missing the point. The team that makes the best offer always gets the player. Dame would be a Raptor if we had beaten the Bucks offer. Dame would have played for us, he announced publicly he would play wherever he was traded, as would anyone because no play no pay. Kawhi didn't wanna come here but Masai didn't give a shit, he wanted him so he made the best offer and we got him. Works out exactly the same every time.

Those guys won't even be as good as Young.
