I'm still dumbfounded by the Pelicans.  That's a franchise that has nothing to show for the return they got for AD + winning the Zion lottery.

 

Fuck Hollinger.   Talks like he knows so much but couldnt do a damn thing when he had the job.   Dumars has stripes and while the move is questionable he deserves the benefit of the doubt

Questionable? Like trading Luka to the lakers questionable?

Also, I love Rasheer Fleming. Great pick for Phoenix. He will probably turn out better than anybody the Nets drafted.

Don't take any offense to this but I dont think Spurs fans have any clue how painful a rebuild is if you dont have a generational talent fall into your laps 

TWolves fans know all about painful builds...no offense

I'm not offended but holy shit do teams do stupid shit in the draft and make near sighted trades. The Warriors built a dynasty starting with drafting Steph Curry #7. Jokic was a second round pick for fucks sake. Giannis was pick #15. The Spurs had a generational talent "fall in their lap" at #15 as well (after they traded up to get him, I might add). 

Every year people do dumb shit in the draft and then you look up and Paul Pierce is available at #10. Halliburton is available at #12. It goes on and on. There are more self-inflicted wounds that prevent rebuilds than there is this amazing degree of difficulty to build a contender. You know, don't mortgage your future picks for overpaid, old vets. Don't overpay your role players. Don't draft guys 10 slots ahead of where they should be drafted. 

I just don't get the short term view that most franchises take. 

Don't pay for Joe Smith under the table

i’ll give credit to malika andrews. just now, as they were going to commercial and showing a montage of players being drafted, she said, “this is the swag and style we’ve seen over the past two days where, according to me, 59 young men and one sports pundit have been drafted into the nba.” that’s how you own it.

Dumars has zero stripes as a competent GM. I am sorry. He lucked into 2004-5. His transaction history is laughable.

Trading an unprotected first for Queen has been universally buried. If Queen doesn't make an all rookie first team, it's going to look worse next summer. But hey, we'll see.

I think its less about Queen and more about where that pick ends up next year. I'm 99% sure they still could have made that trade with some protections.

Fuck this kid. 

Could be nothing but its a fucked up look coming off his pre-draft shit.  He is getting some really bad advice.

It really doesn't matter how good Queen is.

Ace Bailey is a giant bitch. The downside to showering all these 17 and 18 year old kids with millions is that some of them think they are Lebron already. Maybe discovering the concept of polygamy will cheer him up.
