I wouldn't call 3 first round picks nothing.

Lakers 2027 pick will be bottom half, Utah pick in 2027 will be lottery, and who cares about a 2031 pick.  Add in the fact that unless you are picking in the top 5, the odds of landing a superstar like Jarren Jackson Jr are slim at best.  Even if you pick in the top 5, the odds to get someone as good as him NOW, is slim.

I would have like to get him, I think he's an upgrade to Miles but team chemistry is really high right now and makes the most sense to do nothing 

Based on what the Jazz gave up, we could've given up 2 of the 3 2027 firsts we have, and our 2031 first, plus whatever bums off the bench make the contracts work like the Jazz did. 

This was a deal the Hornets could've easily done, without given up any of their studs.  You replace Moussa with Jaren Jackson Jr in the starting lineup, and this team is a top 3 or 4 team in the East.

Our front office failed us once again.

Would you trade for giannis if it included Kon? I personally wouldn't. If we can trade miles saliun and grant Williams plus like 4 firsts I would do it but if it includes miller melo or kon it would be a non starter for me.

Huh?  I would trade my 5 year old son to the Bucks if I got Giannis back.

You tripping.

Im just gonna post this this here haha.  When our starting 5 is healthy this team is legit.  Spend a little extra time praying for Melo's ankles Even if you are an atheist.  Just to be safe pray anyways

Giannis is 30+ and been hurt a ton. I'm keeping Kon

Yeah fans of the current iteration of the NBA need to realize for these newer generations of players the 30 mark might as well be 40. There are already guys who have missed a ton of games in their twenties. The league is either going to have to adjust scheduling accordingly or watch viewership slowly dip lower and lower.

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.

      Certainly not going to miss his constant whiffs on sacks and tackles.
