beekay414 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I really hope we don't trade 31 for a veteran. We could get a legitimate potential rotation piece there and we need that cheap contract, even if it's only a 2 year deal. If he doesn't go 1st round, JT Thor would be a home run pick there. Dosunmu would give us a guard bench scorer if he's on the board too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 So apparently Woj said the Pistons had come to a decision on Cade at 1. And an hour later is back tracking saying a trade is still a possibility... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Knicks didn't invite Portis to the bubble. Less than a year later, he was an integral part in winning a title. Basketball is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nwora gonna be anything? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traded essentially nothing for PJ Tucker and gave up George Hill/Eric Bledsoe and a couple of late picks for Holiday. Horst has done an excellent job of finding pieces that compliment Giannis, especially for a team that's in a small market, while not breaking the bank to do it.

The lack of hype around Dosunmu has been weird for me. I think he could be this years Malcolm Brogdon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He flashed quite a bit for us in limited action. Started that meaningless game vs the Bulls and dropped 34 points on 14-23 shooting (4-8 3pt FG).

He had no choice since we continually eff up our draft picks. I'm not complaining about him whatsoever but he needs to clean up the drafting due to the lack of assets moving forward now. Thankfully, much like hockey, there are always going to be GMs that'll bail you out of your bad moves/contracts, so we'll see what happens. He earned himself a long leash, that's for sure.

Miye Oni played pretty good too with 15 points. But also how the hell is Jahlil Okafor on that team, I never knew Chicago was in Nigeria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
