Sartre and Russell are my heroes
Trading a cost-controlled 12th overall pick for a "win-now veteran" is the exact kind of terrible move that a short-term oriented coach/president would make. Giving your coach control over basketball operations should never happen, even if the coach has a stellar reputation like SVG or Thibs prior to their hires.

I hope Phoenix takes Fox so they'll have 4 Kentucky PGs on the roster while Cal scowls in the background and they once again end up fire selling good assets because they can't think of what to do with them all

I think Jackson at 4 is what will happen. Which means there is a chance issac falls to Minnesota at 7. Depends on what Orlando does .

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Unless Robert Sarver has changed his opinion on """criminals""" he's not letting his team draft Josh Jackson.

Why would Pheonix want Drummond? They're log jammed with bigs as is

Chandler
Len
Bender
Chriss.

Len and Chandler are rebounding bigs in the Drummond mold already. I guess Len could walk and Chandler might have already been thrown away as very expensive benchwarmer, but I suspect they're thinking about Bender and Chriss being the front court of their future. Obviously it could be years before Bender is ready (or he might bust) but it's hard for me to see them wanting to add a big name centre with four years left on their contract when you have a high potential player you're trying to develop behind him.



Alan Williams looked better than everyone on that list other than Chriss the second half of this season.

lol what? He's not Jerry Colangelo.

Markieff Morris got arrested for shooting someone with a bb gun and that didn't stop the Suns from drafting him

PJ Tucker got a DUI and they signed him to a new contract like 3 weeks later

I think ring chasing means someone like David west, who, at the end of his career takes minimum or near minimum amounts of money to get a chance for a ring as a backup.

Finally. A solid definition of ring chasing. Now the trolls can stop for GOOD.

The Clippers are trying to lure Jerry West away from the Warriors. Good luck to both sides.
