May 19, 20242 yr Not sure if theres anything to the rumor or if it was just some random thought put out there on the internet, but Im kinda interested in the Bridges/Finney-Smith trade and then signing more role players. Id still take LeBron for 1-2 years because I really think he gets them over the hump. Durant- but that seems like even more of a long shot. But instead of old PG or Butler, I think Id make that Bridges/DFS move.

The thing that scares the crap out of me with him is he has only played over 50 games one time in the last 4 years. So you already have Joel Embiid who isn’t reliable to stay healthy. And then you’re gonna go out and spend a lot of money on another guy who hasn’t exactly been the epitome of health. The knicks have to pay OG because of what they gave up to get him. he could wind up not having those injury problems going forward and playing all those games. But I don’t think it’s a given considering the last four years he’s only done it once.

Its a shame that he wont get consideration for 6th man of the year because hes not always a big scorer. He simply wrecks absolutely everyone's game.

May 19, 20242 yr Nesmith was basically just a salary dump when he got traded to Pacers for Brodgon. He has turned himself in a player. Need Oubre to re sign and realize he can expand his game defensively

May 20, 20242 yr Mobley is expected to get the max extension in Cleveland. Allen is said to have numerous suitors on the trade market. Meanwhile, he is the andi-Embiid as he refused pain injections to be able to play through a rib injury in the playoffs. No thanks on Allen. Jarrett Allen would be an attractive trade target should the Cleveland Cavaliers re-sign Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line. Allen has "numerous admirers" across front offices around the league, added Stein. Members of the team were reportedly frustrated by the way Allen handled his rib injury during the playoffs. Allen refused an injection to numb the pain in order to play.
May 20, 20242 yr Flip is a good player. I don't think he will ever be a starter in the league but can play small ball 5 and if paired with right guys spot at the 4

May 20, 20242 yr Filipowski's a tough one to figure out. He struggled against bigger teams last year but that was because Duke really had no other big guys to take the bigger defenders off of him. It will be interesting to see if he can develop a consistent game with pro-teammates, pro-coaching and pro-strategizing.

Not quite as good of a shooter, yet better passer and better defender. If you can get Markkanen, or even like... Bogdanovic, its good. What if you just aim lower and call him another Dario Saric? Still darn good pick at 16. I dont know.... but its hard to think of a player comp for him that isnt pretty enticing. He seems like he should be a day 1 contributor.

I'm not too familiar with Markkanen's game but Filipowski can shoot, and with some pro coaching he'll continue to get better at it.

A guy that can contribute in this draft is a win. Jared McCain could be another option in that he can shoot the ball and develop into a back up primary ball handler.
May 21, 20242 yr Author imo they're in win now mode & will try to move their 1st round pick in a trade for a vet.
