Event 2024 NBA DRAFT - JUNE 26 & June 27 2024 - WEDNESDAY 5:30 PM PST & THURSDAY - 1 PM PST - ABC & ESPN

[BBert]

So you're guaranteeing now that no player available after #33 will be better than any player currently on our roster?

There are no guarantees in sports. I'm glad we traded current second rounders for future second rounders, which will have more value in future trades than current scrubs.

 

[BBert]

Didn't we get three future seconds for one current second we didn't need? I consider that a win.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Yeah the 34 pick trade was very good.

Trading the 40 and then 52 for only cash was terrible though.

 

[THE HCP]

Making sense is the least of the concerns I figured that would trigger... I didn't think karma would be that tough of a concept. Maybe a simplistic list will make it clearer.

1) Bronny nearly died last year.
2) Magic Johnson was thought to have punched his ticket with AIDS 30+ years ago.
3) LeBron's agent told everyone to not draft Bronny.
4) It would only be fitting for Magic's circle jerk congratulations (regarding Bronny suiting up with LeBron...as a Laker) to be the thing that did Bronny in before suiting up for the Lakers.

Magic is congratulating his team for slime ball behavior. He escaped the grim reaper. If his b.s. were the final straw for Bronny, there would be a certain irony.

yeah that didn’t help sir.

Cronin forgot he needed money to fund the teams trips to the strip club

But what if they're not scrubs? Sounds like you're not prepared to put your money where your mouth is.

 

[handiman]

Oh so we were supposed to decipher some total nutball superstitious nonsense that you had already identified as in bad taste as making some sort of coherent sense... maybe it threw us off because we didn't think an agent trying to get his client to a specific team would warrant (even in the weird world of karmic foolishness) the death of a 19 year old young man.

yeah that didn’t help sir.

The two biggest LeBron homers on the board have spoken.

What does this make you - the Mr Burns of poor taste?

Yeah if you just happened to know how to articulate shit I would have just let it go. You just either have some serious problems and wish death upon some teenager you don't know or more likely you were joking and are extremely bad at telling a joke. Sincerely it just didn't make any fucking sense and it still didn't make much after you broke it down.

Huge surprise that even all of the LeBron haters on the board haven't given you one solitary like. I mean people really give LeBron shit talk a ton of likes on this board but yours make so little sense they didn't give you any.

 

[PDXFonz]

What does this make you - the Mr Burns of poor taste?

Excellent

You almost got it:

Forgot salary cap implications. We also got a chinese dude.
Also need to substitute "Malcolm Brogdon" for "dude not in teams timeline who the league valued for 2 2nd rounders"
And, substitute "Deni Avdija" for "Starting forward for the next 6 to 8 years on a team starving for starting forwards."

 

[HailBlazers]

Ware shoots up. Clingan stays.

Ware shoots up. Clingan stays.

I'd still probably take Sarr #1.
