I think a lot of you are forgetting how the NBA offseason is.They don?t enforce tampering. Trades are most likely in motion that are not yet announced

Wait did we trade Herb too?
Time to see if we pick up any UDFAs for the 2-way/Summer League grind.
Vrenz?

Like close to love the Murphy pick. Think he will be like NAW in which a lot of us weren’t too high on considering who was still on the board, but will be productive. But not a fan of the Herb Jones pick when I would’ve rather we take the guy who we took later only to trade to a Clippers team that has hit on a 48th overall pick recently in Terence Mann.
Imagine if we took Murphy, Butler, & Boston! I would be ecstatic
Trajan on now

Trajan looks tired
A couple of important points that I think people often forget.
1) the NBA only allows five players on the court at a time. Not 27. We were never going to draft a lot of people.
2) There is no point in looking at two 2nd round prospects and taking a swing at whomever has the highest potential because those players would take court time and coaching time away from players on our roster that need that time. Players don't develop from the bench.
3) When you have a core group of players that you are married to for the future, you draft around those players. Drafting people who don't fit alongside Zion, BI, and NAW would be meh. So needs and fit absolutely matter.
4) The draft is like politics. The more you get into it, the more frustrated you'll be.
5) It's not too late to load up on Cardano. To the moon, my lads!
6) Free agency is Aug 2nd. This is going to be a roller-coaster.
Good positive energy.
But also, yo mama's fat.
I like how the Lakers and Grizz are immediately ploughing through UDFAs and we're just sat here like
''We got Herb! He's from round here!''
Just Curious....
Didn't you list Murphy among your possibilities earlier tonight when 17 was approaching saying you preferred him over Duarte and Primo? (If it wasn't you I apologize)
Do you remember what you said about Brandon Ingram when we acquired him? Were you right?
Do you remember what you said about the acquisition of Steven Adams? Were you right?
What are are the grades you give yourself for these analysis'?
Also, you conveniently mention the Cash Considerations, but fail to mention the future draft picks we do receive (in those instances where applicable, we've lost nothing)?
My grade for your analysis of this draft.......D- and woefully incomplete.
