Immediately becomes our best 3 point shooter. Exactly the type of guy you can play pick and pop with off the bench and can play both post positions. He's 34 and I'm going to assume the Spurs did their research and good teammate. Only really had to give up a 2nd round pick and deep bench guys who's current major attribute is they're young.... and coming up on 2nd contracts. If Olynk can continue to shoot at 38-39% clip from distance, this is a really nice low key move. At this stage of his career you really only need 12-15 minutes from him. Should get a ton of open looks. Decent rebounder (not great), but actually underrated passer. Scouting report from an old friend: -

I just don't know if he'd be interested enough because of the minutes..... how many could we possibly offer him? Young player on the rise.... I'd welcome him. -
Well, lucky for you two, Clark's team plays Plum's team tomorrow on NBA TV tomorrow evening. If you want to watch basketball tomorrow, even if Clark is unlikely to play, then you could educate yourselves on Kelsey Plum. Hint, Plum held the record for mo st points in the NCAAW game which Clark ending up breaking. Enjoy learning!

But they seem to be enjoying doing it. Beware of a crazy man with intention..... They want to compete so if leveraged to blow it up, they'll play hard ball and he'll cost a fortune. -

The Kornet Kontest!!! 3 year deal with team option. 10m is a lot for a bench big man, but that's the going rate for being tall these days. Reportedly a great teammate. -

I was hoping we'd trade back in the bottom of the first and take the Michigan kid, Wolf. He has a really interesting skill set and if he ends up developing a consistently good 3, he could be a good big for a decade along with being an elite passer at the position. Great passers out of the post are hard to come by and he has just enough post game to stick. I think he was way underdrafted if he can get that 3 up to 37+% eventually. -

Last 10 years, they've been above average or decently good. Murray at 29 is White at 29 were pretty good to great draft picks, but then.... Lonnie, Luka (that one is huge fail), Keldon, Vassell, Tre Jones (pretty good for 2nd rounder), Primo and Weiskamp (empty year when you suck), Sochan, Branham and Wesley (could still turn around but right now, not good), before turning it around with Wemby, Castle, and now Harper. Part of the issue was Pop not wanting to accept where the team was and play for draft status so we didn't get high lottery picks until the last 3 years. We've hit when in the top 5, as you should, but outside of the top 10, we have a pretty checkered record. A generational talent like Wemby can clean up a lot resumes, but he has to stay healthy. We've done much better in acquiring draft picks through trades. -
I think that's a fair assessment historically of the Washington franchise after the 70's. I get it, all I was saying its that historically shitty diner who's under new management and when you find out it new management is the new sous chef of the most popular diner in town, you have to hope things get better. Frankly, Tre has a lot of weakness in his game so wherever he can develop the most will be the best place for him and new management is from a place which traditionally drafted well and developed well, that's all.

If you can't average more than 6 points your only college season...... you should be pretty thrilled to be a lottery pick at all. He'll live in Austin most of the season, he's a major project. -

Took a major project at 14..... If he hits, then he's that long 3 and D forward who can play both positions, but man..... no production and he's all potential. Wouldn't have been the direction I would have gone. It may take him 4 years before he's any good. -
Their front office is from the Presti tree as well. I think being out the lime light may be good and Washington is going to be bad so he'll get minutes and time to develop.....
