@AlexGoldenNBA Hey Alex, with Giannis reportedly asking to be traded to a East Contender, could you do an episode/segment ranking and exploring Teams in the East that could put together a package for him? What would a Pacers package look like? Is it even possible?
@CRod1701@TheDestinAdams@AlexGoldenNBA What's the future that I'm so easily missing here with your reaction? I'd love to see the light.
Walker? Sheppard? Jones? Furphy off a ACL, Haliburton off a Achilles? No pick in 26. If they do well the next 2 years late 20s picks in 27 and 28? Unless you mean a 2 year future?
@halivburton@TheDestinAdams@AlexGoldenNBA I can definitely agree on that, not sure there is a better center to get, just sucks. This pick would have opened 10 years of contending and now it looks like 2 years and some HEAVY retooling to stay competitive after.
@halivburton@TheDestinAdams@AlexGoldenNBA Agree to disagree on that. It's super unlikely one of 4 AJ, Boozer, Peterson, Wilson fall, but what if one does? Did they absolutely have to have Zubac? They couldn't have made a different move in the off season potentially including the 5th pick? Maybe even at the deadline?
@SamTheManFrick@TheDestinAdams@AlexGoldenNBA For sure, it might not be a good pick, could very well be a late 20s pick, but when you look at the roster, these are the players with money on books right now going into that 29 pick: Haliburton (29), Nesmith (30), McConnell (37), Kam Jones, 27 pick(s), 28 pick(s)
@halivburton@TheDestinAdams@AlexGoldenNBA No money to maneuver, no pick this year, competing the next two years to maximize roster construction, it's very very easy to see how this team could be bad when their 29 1st is unprotected and the picks in 27 28 are in the 20s and this team sucks at drafting in that range.
@TheDestinAdams@AlexGoldenNBA It's the 29 1st that really hurts. Sure, right now that 5th pick would be great, but it was a coin flip. What we know: most of this team is set up for this coming year and next. Zu only under contract (like most of the team) 2 years. We have no future losing this pick and 29.
@AlexGoldenNBA Awful trade. It likely was always going to hinge on the way this coin landed, but with the dust settled, it looks terrible. Zu likely won't be here past the next 2 seasons.
@RedactedSatoshi@WorldWideWob Never said it was impressive. Just stating a fact. It's sad actually, coming from a fan of the team that handed them their last playoff loss.
@titansfilmroom I'm thinking we aren't getting Love. It's going to go Reese 2 and Cards won't get the trade for Bailey like they would for Reese and Cards take Love.
@TheZachLyons Draftkings went from -135 this morning for Love 4th overall to +130 right now. I haven't got in on Love at FanDuel for +165 yet, but I keep thinking about it hard.
