So in other words, they were going to trade that 19th pick on draft night for who knows what (Probably an NBA caliber wing) because they said outright they weren’t drafting 3 rookies, but now they’re trying to trade it to move up to get the guy they want
Will be interesting to see if they actually pull it off this time – and if that prospect ends up being what they want

They will use the assets that they got for Siakam (which was barely anything) to make up for the dumb Jakob trade

Just get someone better in the 2025 draft.

well their stupidity put them in this mess as usual

Let’s play a guessing game.
My intuition tells me it was either clingan, castle or salaun. All of those players listed fit the types of players they go for at those positions.
What do you guys think?

I can’t see them getting back into the top 6. Best I can see is 9 if they do some sort of Poeltl for 9 deal (which I doubt they will).
It’s definitely possible to get into the back end of the lotto with Bruce and one of our picks. Either Bruce + one of 19/31 for Lonzo + 11 or Barnes + 13 could happen. But I doubt this person we really want will be available at that point, but if they slip on draft night maybe we swing that trade.

doug’s surprisingly optimistic about next season lol I thought he’d be grumpy

Maybe Topic ? Maybe Darko’s connection ???

Trade Jakob. Get guy they want. Suck for another year, get another guy

And here I was thinking they would’ve drafted a guy they hated in the top 6! Thanks for the revealing info Doug

Still cant believe we traded that pick for friggin Poeltl. We couldn’t even get that type of pick for Siakam…

Bet it was Salaun. Would be like their Barnes over Suggs type of surprise.

who needs that pick when we got a non athletic injury prone center that can’t shoot free throws whose aging poorly

If this is true, and it’s always a toss up when it comes to Doug Smith, it’s exactly why you can’t judge a draft class a year away. Even moving down in the draft months in advance like we did for Thad is surrendering option value.

Just misstep after misstep.
I’d bet on Salaun.
