2024 NBA Draft Reaction Thread

They got 2 unprotected Wolves picks following right after the year Anthony Edwards' contract expires. They might even be able to use those to trade for Edwards if they feel like he's a goner in 2029 or something...
Its just such a far out pick... Wemby may be out the door by then. If it was a mid round pick I could be down but Spurs are in a place where they should take bites at the apple now.
 
Cities giving billionaires money is such a dirty business. How can he answer the question "I am honest in my dealings with my fellow man." when he is constantly working to screw over every single tax payer in the state. Not to mention how that affects the chastity question! Good thing for him that church stuff is just made up ********, but still!
Completely agree. No reason taxpayers should be funding stadiums. I think everyone knows that if it was put up to a general election public funding would lose overwhelmingly. So instead you just grease a few palms of elected officials, and VOILA! you get a billion dollars for free.

For a guy that actively cultivates an image as a goofy hipster Mormon computer nerd, Ryan clearly has a megalomaniacal streak.

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.
 
Not sure this has been mentioned but our Summer League team has serious potential - Collier-Keyonte-Williams-Hendricks-Kessler(?!)/Lofton...

Should be fun, but the thing for people to remember is that the summer leagues who win the tournament are the teams filled with fringe NBA players. Any player who is actually expected to have a rotation spot on a team gets pulled early as soon as they show out.

Yeah. I'd be good with Keyonte and Hendricks showing out in SLC and then giving way to the new guys to play in Vegas.
 
I've kind of been expecting a lot of movement around the league getting announced today. I thought maybe with teams all together anyway, there would be deals getting done.
 
I came into the draft hoping for a wing, a guard and a big.

2 out of 3 so far is great. I really want filipowski but could see the versatility of drafting Furphy. Smith is also a nice swing for the fences player.
 
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.
