So what just happened??

Mark Williams?  Damn I hope he can be a decent player.  Not that we will ever put him in a position to succeed

Wouldn't feel as bad if we got rid of Hayward at least. But Mitch talking like it was some 4D chess move when the league is laughing at us feels like the Bobcats all over again.

Yeah he got fleeced, if there was a chance to dump a bad contract it on this trade. Now stuck with Hayward on IR and probably Miles and Melo leaving, no HC besides Clifford wanting the job.

We should have just traded Lamelo for multiples first before he inevitably leaves this goofy team.

To be fair, I think Mark has much more potential offensively than Mason ever had. He's already a better FT shooter and has a decent shot with some range. 

No qualms there my friend.. physically he's a beast..no denying it

We drafted Duren at 13 and traded him for 100 2nd round picks

Is Denver’s 1st that we got lottery protected? Not that I expect them to pick in the lottery next year but I guess anything is possible if they get plagued by injury. Anyone know?

So essentially it went down like this…

Then New York flipped the Denver pick and four second rounders to us for Duren.

Then New York took Duren and shipped him along with Kemba Walker to Detroit in what looks to be a salary dump move.

Melo going to bolt so prepare for a very sad sign n trade one day. Not surprising from the franchise that traded Zo and Kobe. 

I said this the night he was drafted and got about 10 poop reactions from people lol. They don’t want to hear it

Protected top 4…which in most drafts are the impact players

How in tf do we not get 2 of those 1sts? Not only that, we get the worst of the 3. If #11 is worth those 3 picks, then surely #13 is worth at least 2 of them. How can you make this move as a GM.
