Pistons need to draft Suggs! Hayes is a bust, wannabe D’Lo with no jumper or 3 pointer with a lot of injuries in his rookie year
I love Jalen Suggs I think he’s going to be great. Hope the Warriors get him but the chances are practically nil.
Does he fit Weaver? Should he ignore his standards, given his last draft?
Timberpuppies have NO PICKS in the 2021 draft.
They don’t even have to attend !!
They’re still a decent chance they have a top-three pick in this year’s draft.
Almost 28%, which is decent but certainly not all that great. The Rockets have a much better chance of keeping their top-4 pick (over 52%), which we will find out on Tuesday.
Tuesday is a big day for warriors fans. Not too shabby scenario would be # 6 and # 14. Crap scenario would be #0 and #14.
Warriors are doomed if #0 and #14
Rockets are doomed if #0， #18，23，24
Huge Tuesday
Yes pretty huge Tuesday. You have something to look forward to Sillivan… My 28 posts regarding the Warriors draft lottery success or failure LOL
Yeah I hope he doesn’t want to be D’Lo… yikes bum has never been on a winning team yet I don’t believe.
And like you said his team doesn’t have a pick to screw up this year so trying to sh*t on something.
Pistons are only team with two all rookie team members this year, think they finally know what they are doing with Weaver at the helm.
Just ONCE in the damn history of the franchise could the TWOlves keep their top 3 pick???
NBA will make sure they don’t.
NOT one time have they drafted higher than their projected spot……..
I hope that is sarcasm
They have won 2 of last 5 lotteries…. And have picked in top 5 6 times in last 11 drafts…
The main point Wade’s making is that the Wolves have never moved up in the lottery. Either they get their projected spot or move down and they’d have to move up to keep their pick this year…
Knicks should draft Nix to go with Knox.
Daish is not a compliment in some parts.
