I like the idea of getting creative with the draft capital to retain as much as possible to move forward post-Giannis trade.
Example:
MIL gets the best of POR/ORL/MIL in 2028, Portland gets the worst of POR/MIL/WAS, allowing Portland to trade their 2027 pick next year (along with 2031 and 2033)...

- We dont have to act (we're not good actors)
- We dont have to plan any conversation
- It doesnt become stale like shows that use the same manufactured formula do
Much easier that way. So its funny to see people think we craft narratives for views. Kissing the...
