It would have been nice if we could have gotten something other than money.... but we didn't have any roster spots for these guys. I'm fine with not picking someone. Maybe go out and sign some undrafted dudes.

So we turned 4 top 40 picks into Cling Kong, Deni, 3 future 2s, and some cash.

Siblings don't always align.
Seth and Steph Curry, loved Seth but not close.
Harvey and Horace Grant are twins but games weren't.

If that's directed at me, you missed the point. It's not about talent being identical, it's about the huge gap between a #2 pick and a G-League 2-way player. This draft was full of red flags, and that looked to possibly be the biggest one of all, as far as how bad it was at the top.

Honestly I can see why they didn’t use any of the second rounders. If they didn’t see someone they loved and they already have a metric shit ton of young guys who need minutes, why not punt for other picks and just sign some 2 way guys?

Because a better GM would have gotten more for 7, 14, 34, and 40...unless Clingan shocks the NBA and is better than Ayton in his first year. (Clingan's long-term ceiling is Nurkic.)

34 usually becomes a decent future substitute. Would we sell Camara for cash?

Avdija is a starter, granted. He physically looks like Domantas Sabonis, so we can always get the Kings GM stoned and trick him into trading Sabonis and Murray for their twins.

Truth is you would have said this shit no matter who we got. It's not being smart, it's being a curmudgeon. That's totally fine, but difficult to take seriously.

It's not the first time something like this has been posted by the social media team.

SideNote: Hey this "video guy" won his 7th Emmy earlier this month. If you can find better in the 2nd round....go get 'em FAMS!

You were robbed of one for best supporting actor for your work on this forum, if you ask me!

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but seeing on yesterday's broadcast that Sarr has an older brother who is a career scrub sure made me glad we didn't trade up for him. Siblings tend to not be too terribly far apart in athletic ability, and it's not like they differ much in size, or Alexander is a skill player who can thus overcome similar athleticism.

I was neutral on him before that, but now I feel like his upside potential is "not a bust."

Also, in the lineup of all the green room invitees, Clingan looked a solid 2-3" taller than Sarr.

Someone said he was a true 7'1 in socks so he's 7'3 in shoes...also has an incredible wingspan and will probably put on 20 lbs of muscle in the NBA gym workouts like Lamarcus did. This kid has the frame to be a monster big man...trick for the kid this season is to stay out of foul trouble as a rookie and learn to shoot free throws much, much better.

C’Mon you honestly just typed this? Compared to how many that didn’t work out? I’ll wait son.

Wut? Are you serious? 2-time MVP Jokic? It doesn't matter how many didn't work out.

A few years ago, I went looking for you at Eastern Oregon State and I was hollering for you!

All I saw was a rolling green field and young stocky students who look like farmers.

They stared at me because I wasn't driving a tractor. One chick looked pickuppable but I don't know agricultural science, so I felt inadequate to treat her to a sumptuous corn chowder restaurant.
 
The reports for about two weeks were that our front office wanted Clingan. We got him. We got Avdija who is 23 and extremely skilled on both ends even though he might not be elite at any one specific thing. I think we might see a trade or two of our core guys after the first couple days of free agency (likely Ant and/or Jerami). If we get rid of those two for young player, draft picks and maybe a an old vet then we should be able to let our team play as hard as they can the whole season and still end up with good lotto position and if we aren't constantly sitting guys the games should be fun to watch.
 
Funny how in a year when the women had arguably the most star studded draft ever we keep hearing how weak the men's draft is.

I hadn't thought of that. The most talented men turned transgender. Let's see whether this trend continues next draft.
