By jjasper Go To PostGivony’s article saying if PHX passes on Doncic he could fall to four gives me hope.
obviously planted by Dallas or someone
By DY_nasty Go To Postdevelopment gawdFrom Team Canada to the Raptors to Phoenix I can’t actually think of anybody whose development I’d credit him with. People keep swearing he’s an Xs and Os genius, which is how he keeps getting jobs.

I can also say he was pretty good for the team culture. Not going in, but holding people/the whole team accountable.
By DY_nasty Go To Posti think a lot of time people only equate stars with development and its not entirely fairAll I can say is that the Colangelo core suddenly took off a lot faster under Casey. The whole time Triano was here it was the Xs & Os thing that came up all the time, they said he was less good at maintaining discipline, team culture, that kind of thing. It’s why they pivoted to a guy coming in with more of a reputation as a hardass in Casey.

Basically, the opposite of what Giri said, lol.

Not saying that it would have worked long term.
Some guys arent meant to be HCs. Being a HC means sometimes you gotta pull a guy aside and tell you'll bench his ass...but the kicker is you have to be able to do that without the player laughing in your face
Vlade is not passing on Luka gtfo here with that fake news. Part of me still thinks McD is going to pull the trigger on him
By livefromkyoto Go To PostFrom Team Canada to the Raptors to Phoenix I can’t actually think of anybody whose development I’d credit him with. People keep swearing he’s an Xs and Os genius, which is how he keeps getting jobs.Josh jackson actually developed pretty well under him from where he was at the beginning of the season. Triano is a good assistsnt coach, not so much as a head coach
By pkaz01 Go To PostVlade is not passing on Luka gtfo here with that fake news. Part of me still thinks McD is going to pull the trigger on himVlade knows what a player who refuses to play for a team can do to a team that drafts him... how do you think he became a Hornet?
By blackace Go To PostVlade knows what a player who refuses to play for a team can do to a team that drafts him… how do you think he became a Hornet?I don't think Luka will refuse to play for them, he knows Vlade and Bogdonavic and those reports only came out because he was still in the middle of the Euroleague playoffs. Bogdonavic pretty much refused to play for the Suns and only came over after we traded him to the Kings so i'm sure Vlade can get Luka over there.

It was like "do you think you'll be playing more games in madrid" And he answered "yes" or what ever...during the single elim stage of a tournament.
I'm honestly fine with either one at this point, i'd be worried about Luka if we didn't have his coach (who is an elite talent development coach for the past 20 years at an NBA level), they both have some flaws and I don't think either are that AD or Ben simmons type number 1 pick, but I think both have superstar potential. McD just loves his fucking combo guards and I feel like Sarver won't care one way or the other considering he watched Doncic play. Players want Ayton though that much is clear, JJ and Booker both prefer him.
By blackace Go To PostSome guys arent meant to be HCs. Being a HC means sometimes you gotta pull a guy aside and tell you'll bench his ass…but the kicker is you have to be able to do that without the player laughing in your faceYeah. And they'll be great assistants too.
I think Mike Brown is a really good Assistant.
By pkaz01 Go To PostVlade is not passing on Luka gtfo here with that fake news. Part of me still thinks McD is going to pull the trigger on himI don’t think that they will. I think part of this is the natural process of now everyone watching him play and nitpicking everything about him like all the other picks.

By blackace Go To PostI mean… If he is too slow for the Grizz…not possible. Such a person does not exist.
Really there is 0% chance he would fall below 4. Grizz tanked specifically for him.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostIf the Knicks get Trae young and porzingis is out…Knicks already have 3 franchise point guards on the roster
Whew. 20 shots a game as a rookie brehs
Uh...so is Fultz ever going to remember how to play basketball, or are those memories forever sealed away by the Kryptonian amnesium Simmons spiked his drink with that one time to lock up the ROTY vote?
Because if this is showing up in a Philly commuter daily, it’s totally Colangelo putting out feelers to the fanbase:
https://www.metro.us/sports/philadelphia/nba-trade-rumors-kyle-lowry-sixers-raptors-move-coming
This doesn’t sound like the kind of thing Masai/MLSE would do because they like that 2nd round playoff revenue every year and why take a step back, but Lowry is probably complaining behind the scenes because he’s been doing that since he was 3.
This 100% sounds like something Colangelo would do.

By “Philadelphia Metro”A Kyle Lowry Sixers NBA trade has been rumored about for years considering Lowry’s Philadelphia ties, but when the 76ers made their trade with the Celtics just ahead of last year’s draft – it put a quick halt to those rumors. Expect them to crank up again very soon.
Lowry could immediately provide the Sixers with the scoring boost in the backcourt that Markelle Fultz could not – and he could more than shoulder the load at the point when Ben Simmons needs a breather.
This would likely get the job done:
Sixers get:
Kyle Lowry (3 years, $28.7 million)
Raptors get:
Markelle Fultz (4 years, $7.0 million)
Robert Covington (5 years, $16.6 million)
No. 10 overall pick in 2018 NBA Draft

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostIf the Knicks get Trae young and porzingis is out…Wouldnt even be the best Trey on the team. Don't forget Mudiay needs his touches too. I'm good.
Whew. 20 shots a game as a rookie brehs
Seriously though with what Perry has said about getting longer and more athletic I seriously doubt they would take young.
The Wolves expressed interest in Clippers center DeAndre Jordan during the season, so perhaps a deal could be struck around Towns for DJ and both Clippers first-rounders.
🤔🤔🤔
By Adam Go To Post🤔🤔🤔That’s a terrible deal what
By blackace Go To PostI mean… If he is too slow for the Grizz…So we pass on him to take another front court player who doesn't fit with our current front court player?
If we take Bagley while Doncic is still on the board that just means our decision making process is completely busted.
By Adam Go To Post🤔🤔🤔wtf, thibs needs to be fired if that's even a thought. i'm so sorry rodeo
By Adam Go To Post🤔🤔🤔Rodeo to be suicide watch if Thibs does this.
By knux-future Go To PostI have trolled Lowry too much it seems.Unless Fultz is Anthony Bennett 2.0 and you’re both dumping Covington’s contract and getting back a 4x hometown all star with only 2 years left on his deal for the price of the 10th pick.
this is my fate
Lowry always plays off ball in the 4th quarter, I bet he looks pretty good doing that with Simmons as the primary ball handler instead of Corey Joseph or 1-armed broken VanVleet.
Literally the only solace I would take in that deal is that the 10th pick for Masai is probably equivalent to the 5th pick for anyone else.
Unless there’s Brazilian Harden somewhere in this draft.
Lowry is washed.
Fuck Fultz, fuck Covington.
He's not worth the 10th pick....we need more athleticsm and youth. Not more washed midgets

By knux-future Go To PostLowry is washed.He was an all star this year and had a .659 ts% in the playoffs, but sure. Washed. Paying Covington in 2022 is probably a better idea anyway.
Fuck Fultz, fuck Covington.

we just got ass blasted by the Celtics because they found our weak links on defense..and our solution is to add a aging tiny guard with a history of choking in the playoffs. Nah.
I lowkey hate Covington. I also don't think Fultz can unfuck himself. But even with that, I'd rather stick with those clowns than to give up a 1st rounder for an aging player like Lowry.

i wouldn't give up that pick, but fultz/covington for lowry is about as good as you're gonna get in a sell high sense
lowry might be shook as fuck but derozan is worse, and at least you've still got embiid to fall back on. any shooter that isn't reddick or beli would help immediately
