    They deserve that for trading away fox, signing demar, and trading for lavine.

    And we can't forget trading away hali...

    man I miss the days. You could offer a regular player like battier for the 8th pick.

    Tate for 12th?

    That's why he hasn't thrown soup or drove him during halftime.

    Let's claim down guys.
    Every draft we get hype but in reality there is only 2 or 4 stars in every draft. And sometimes there is no 1A player.
    But this draft seems promising.

    This draft is so good they might still end up with Acuff though which would still be a great outcome. It sucks that we had to trade out of this draft...

    They took a chance, they did have the worst record at one point and couldn't fall out the top 4.. then they started to win some games at the end.

    Did they trade their pick after haliburton tore his Achilles? Cause that’s really stupid and the GM should be fired.

    They lost Turner to the Bucks and then went almost All In on Zubac......the risk was not worth it.
    Also lost Mathurin in the process.
