    Fentress wrote a beauty for Jody. He changed the wording from the roster is "full", to this team is "LOADED". So that's why Cronin had to sell the 2nd round pick for cash.

    would I rather have the Oregonian writers that were mean to the players? Hell no !! But I do get a chuckle from the writers who sprinkle sparkle dust on a lottery team in rebuilding mode.

    He said the roster is loaded?

    Sounds like he's the one that is full of something.

    I think that's plausible. First they had a big meal, then they got drunk.

    What really pisses me off about Kolek is that the Knicks probably won't play him at all. They have a ton of guards and they just signed Cam Payne. Plus Thibs is notoriously anti-rookie. Whereas with us he'd be literally the only backup PG (yeah, yeah, Anfernee will play a lot of PG but he's not a PG, let's be honest).

    On top of that the Knicks have Lithuanian LEGEND Rokas Jokubaitis, whom they acquired in a similar draft-night deal in 2021, in their Summer League team , and they don't even have room for him in their 15-man roster. Embarrassment of riches! We should have asked for his draft rights in the Kolek trade, at least!

    Certainly would've made our SL team more watchable. Imagine him throwing lobs to Clingan

    you know, I hear there will be another second round along shortly. we’ll probably have a 31-45 pick next season via atlanta.

    What if he wasn't just any old second rounder? What if he was a Jalen Brunson/Draymond Green-style second rounder? Those don't come around every year.

    Call me crazy, but I think the point of draft picks is to draft good players, not to trade for more draft picks.

    the way I looked at the 2nd round was, they were trying to get back the deni avdija 2nds. it's almost like they're drafting a 23-yo deni avdija who fits the timeline of this team.

    You know how they say everyone in the world is 15th cousins, I wonder if that means we could all be 15th round draft picks?
