New Lowe Post pod has lots of good magic talk. Lowe and Mo Dakhil talk about the presumable 5-8 seed teams in the East and both said they thought Orlando has the best near term future. Also talked about what he gave discussed here in their seeming failure to bring in a playmaker and the FO's waste of cap space years and their hesitation to make a move

Of course follows this up with two fouls for using his size the wrong way

Huff vs Missi is an interesting matchup. Missi is the much higher thought of prospect but Huff just looks so much bigger and knows how to use that size against him. Not likely to pull off the same athletic feats tho

Don't like seeing Black give us a record scratch when he was open for a 3. Need him to be more confident taking more shots

I've been a Jett hater but I was pleasantly surprised how he took the opportunity to assert his shooting and actually looked like he second best player out there

Da Silva I think plays the 4 spot

Ingles is the most hilariously perfect replacement for Kyle Anderson in Minnesota

So I know moves can still be made and trades are possible, but By the end of Paolo’s rookie year we knew we had a guy who could potentially be different and lead the team to the top. Since then we have had 2 free agency periods, 2 drafts, and 1 trade deadline. Can anyone honestly say Weltman has done anything in that time to raise the ceiling of the team (much less address the defects that were apparent this year)? I can admit that my timeline is probably not the one the front office is working on, but it is frustrating to see other teams with young stars make moves to improve those teams while our team sits in their hands and banks on just internal improvement

Can’t see the team trading Carter without bringing in another starting big

I’m annoyed. All this cap space and nothing to show for it

Reports that Utah willing to listen for Lauri. Would probably take 5 firsts so hard to say it would be worth it but I would for sure explore that

I wonder if we do seriously go after PG and sign him if there would be another big move. I think if you sign him you are really going in to try and open a contention window early as Paolo and the rest continue developing, but I don’t think just PG really does that so they might as well go all in and trade for someone

I suppose there could be a logic in trading Trae to try and get assets to recover their own picks like Brooklyn did. I think his passing would go to waste a bit without shooters here but I would take him

Love to see other teams making moves we should do

Franz better step his game up to deserve the contract he is about to get

It’s not this one pick that is annoying, it us the continued kicking the can down the road with 2nds

If his dad was a plumber he probably wouldn’t be a basketball player so there’s no point even discussing that what if. If Lebron retired this post season I think it is likely Bronny still gets drafted. All I know is that most shooting guys said he was a draftable prospect, the reports on his personal workouts were very good, and I heard Givony on TV saying he was a good prospect and would probably be an nba player

I think it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say Bronny wouldn’t be getting drafted if not for his dad. He apparently really impressed in his workouts with his skill and athleticism and it is entirely possible that someone might have taken him earlier were it not for Rich Paul telling other teams he wouldn’t play for them.

The worst part about trading these 2nds back is that we continually end up with bad 2nds

Traded for pick swaps. I hate Weltman

Well all the players I cared about are now gone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gross

Dang two PGs off the board early

Probably not an immediate replacement but one can dream

I wonder to what extent the 2nd round is already predetermined. Like I wonder how much teams know who other teams are targeting or have promised
