My current predictions of the top 8 subject to change

Phi: Simmons
LAL: Ingram
BOS: Murray
PHX: Bender
MIN: Dunn
NOLA: Hield
DEN: Brown
SAC: Chriss
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

I want Dunn for us but would love him in Minny and Murray in Boston

if Dunn goes to Minnesota are they doing a corresponding move or is it Rubio-Dunn-Wiggins???

not sure about that combo

If there is one thing that defined the Scam Hinkie era, it was reluctance to roll the dice for a superstar

resigning Ish was probably not Hinkies move. Probably heavily leaned on by ownership/league to do something to bring some wins. his entire campaign he preached about bottoming out in order to get the most amount of picks in a draft(and the number 1 pick). just like Okafor was most likely not his pick(see his manifesto on pace and space and foreign players)

Perfect storm of a bunch of nail biter losses (any one of which probably buys Hinkie time) and all of Okafor's horseshit.

I was listening to the now daily BODPOD and he had Mike Schmitz on from Dx. What is DXs deal with Simmons? It sounds almost personal or something. He was talking about how Simmons didn't pick duke or Kentucky because "he's all about himself", selfish etc. Is there some basis for that? I've heard givony take similar shots without giving any specific examples before. I wonder if Simmons has denied them access in the past or something.

honestly no idea. it does seem almost personal because they don't seem to pepper the rest of their stuff that way

Woj's NBA Draft Vertical feed wants to take viewers from ESPN by informing us of moves two minutes before they happen.

I don't understand the hype of Chriss, which means he'll probably be the best player in this class

I hated this trade but I also think part of the reason of they way overpaid was to try to smooth things out with New Orleans after the Jrue trade/injury

You watch the tapes and he looks like young amare but he doesn't rebound and fouls out of more than half the games. Kind of reminds me of a better version of Speights.

Yeah I had Chriss to phx at first but switched it at the last second. Whichever one gets by Phoenix will slope a little imo
