2024 NBA Draft Reaction Thread

[stitches]

Okay so apparently Flip has an older girlfriend... lol came up on the Lowe Post. If that factored into the draft slippage would be hilarious. Maybe there is more to it but thought it was funny. She is like 8-9 year older per some internet peeps... and went to prom with him.

"and your girlfriend has a weird case... why is she around?"

AJ Griffin traded to Houston for 44 straight across… I would have done it for 32.

Pure salary dump

What is the appeal of filipowski?

Can't believe Hawks sold Griffin for the 44th pick. Yeah I'd do it for 32th. The kid is a solid rotation piece already when given the minutes. Same can't be said about anyone we draft in the second round. Houston's got another steal.

I imagine that is par for the course when you are essentially born into the position that will make you more money than well over a thousand people combined will ever see in their lifetime. Never see a day in your life that your money is in question, other than what position you are in on the big board. So instead of turning to drugs, you turn to your standard billionaire hobbies...owning sports teams.

Would have to be both for me.

Something is not right with Griffin. It didn't make sense why he fell so far in the first place, then he has a great season only to be banished to the shadow realm. What's going on there?

Don't get me too excited. Makes me wish I was a 30 year old cougar.

He's deep into Rapture TikTok or whatevs... but also might be some weird personality stuff. There is more to it than just basketball.

He looked like he would develop into one in 2022-23 but last season not so much. Barely got on the court.

Also the religious bigotry stuff was too much for my taste.

Knecht fell because of his age, Flip falling because of his gf's age. If you don't like that you don't like NBA basketball.
