Scared money don’t make money. If I have one thing I disagree with re: the front office philosophy is they want the known too much. The known is nice but you pay full price for the known. You gotta gamble big to win big and be fine with losing sometimes
He wanted a place where he could be a centerpiece. Also wanted the challenge of taking a team that hadn’t won in years to prominence. Why he was so upset when they traded him.
Don’t know if he is lying or not privy to the truth info. But it was agreed to. And for those who remember, Woj’s first tweet was actually that the Mavs had traded up to 13. Then, a minute later he said the Pels would be selecting Kira
It’s because Dallas had told him the deal was agreed to contingent on their guy being there and Woj wasn’t told it was off. Trying to beat Shams, he went with the trade tweet, then Dallas guy told him their guy was taken. Woj corrected himself a minute later
That part is correct. They loved Stewart and liked Bey in event of a trade back. All this I said on my pod two days after the draft. My best guess is your friend is telling you they wouldn’t have traded the pick because of how dumb it looks now in retrospect
Correct. Again, something I told you guys a few weeks ago. Don’t rule him out if we slight trade back. Hayes is a long term write off and they are still looking for that long term rim protector and rebounder
One of the things they loved about Stewart was his shooting upside. Don’t really see that with Duren
Correct. But remember, they have a coach that can fix shooting lolololo
The argument would be that the REAL over the top move will come via trade at some point. And if that is the case, you want as many future picks as possible for that moment.
If you think this guy will be a 5th piece regardless - be it Daniels or Branham, etc…then you would argue to trade back and get future picks for the final big move where you get that last big piece to add to Zion and Bi
Haliburton was my sleeper pick for Golden State that year. That would've been scary.
