I'm so calling off work and using my sick time tomorrow I should've been asleep 3 hours ago. And plus I want to stay up all night and watch these kids highlights who I pretty know nothing about 🤣

I don’t know how he didn’t get drafted.

When I started reading the thread it wss 28 pages and you guys added 13 by the time I got to the end. Great insights and conversation, I definitely felt better about the draft after reading through.

I haven't read any articles about the Charlotte or Clippers trades, I am thinking there is a possibility that they will be folded into larger trades, but I am not sure.

One thing I like about the CHA trade, we get a little more cap space and Charlotte loses some. With Bouknight CHA may move on from Graham and Monk to enter FA.

Yeah. Was too good to be true to not be lottery pick protected.


Oh well.


Crap trade imo.

Now its an awful trade. It makes zero sense

So did the Spurs just not agree to trade with us out of spite? They could have taken Primo at 21 or 19, but they didn't trade down and took him at 11.

This guy looks like he jumped off a trampoline.

Presti mining picks like Bitcoin. They are an interesting team for sure.
Problem is when you have Westbrook,Harden and Durant on the team and young you really don’t know what you have at that moment.
In hindsight Durant left for nothing and harden was not MVP like until he got with MDA in Houston. Westbrook is a stat beast but yet to be an alpha winner. How he defers to Lebron and Davis will be facilitating. Dude is a hell of a player but with a narrow focus.
Presti will wiff but thats because he has created so much movement and opportunity but should ultimately succeed in cultivation of talent to stick. This dude is playing a high level math equation bordering on Hinkie than Ainge. Danny came all so close to nailing it but he too could not get it all on the court at one time.

Aamir Siims. Looks like good bench depth if he makes the team. Another 22 y.o with an nba ready body. Another potential player who does a little of everything

Pop busy in Tokyo and no one else confident pulling the trigger late without him?

Who knows. Some times you just take your guy and not gamble. We had guys thinking we'd take McBride at 21 and didn't seem to bat an eye over it. Kudos to Rose playing the game and still accomplishing what they wanted. Spurs didn't want to mess around.

TPercy @ 7/30/2021 10:20 AM

We failed him

maybe it was like one of those verizon commercials??? Pop mentions some other guy and says he's Primo, and back in the states they only hear Primo

So the Knicks can sign him to a Luka Vildoza type deal if he has a good season in Europe. There will be competition, but hopefully they stay on him. Will be interesting to see how his career progresses out there.

Sounds more like his agent failed him. But the Knicks should monitor him. Maybe bring him in like they did with Kuz in a year or two.
