He shipped out Beasley at the first opportunity for a bag of Dorritos. I think that is probably a clue. Danny wants length, athleticism, and grit. Taking a flier on THT like we did is likely a pattern as well.
I honestly think we would have if we hadn't moved up for Burke. We bought in later to get Gobert who was "Giannis at home."
I loved Giannis. Still remember that DL was one of the first NBA execs to go over to watch him in person. Thought the Jazz were for sure going to draft one of the high upside Euro prospects that year.
Same here. I remember watching the draft that year on the treadmill, and fell off it when they announced Burke.
A first rounder a bag of Doritos?
The twins are working full-time at basketball and the shooting is not improving. I give college players a break here over the g league guys. For the college guys I would highly value free throws as that is a skill in limited time in college should be working on. Find a gem there.
If you think Beasley was the centerpiece of that trade you are more delusional than normal. Lakers paid a protected first to swap Wesbrook for Russell and a couple of bench pieces. We value Beasley and Vando more than that, but I don't think they do. If we could have got a straight up first for Beasley, we would have taken that deal instead.
I think a team reaches and grabs a Thompson twin or two in the top 6, which is fine with me. I'll bet it is Charlotte because that makes absolutely no sense for them.
I wouldn't say taking either twin in the top 6 is a reach. Both of them are really talented. Shooting is the big issue for both but if they can show some improvement during workouts then teams will have a hard time passing on them.
Not that I've seen. I havent seen when his and Wemby's team has played lately but from what I've seen hes come on strong lately, which could help is draft momentum continue. And then see what he does in workouts.
