The more I read about Mo Bamba, the more I love this dude. Mo's sense of humor comp is a more well spoken but less subversive Embiid, so he is now my new favorite player in the draft:

The way they did Tyreke dirty really deserved more attention, they benched a man in the midst of a career year because they promised him a trade and then just didn't trade him and kept him benched in order to both lose and suppress his value

Chris Wallace is a retard, and we hired Tank Commando JB Bickerstaff to head the team up instead of looking to get fresh talent. I mean seriously, how the hell do you look at what he did this season and say “yeah, this is the right guy to lead the team.” Basically, enjoy your free lottery pick Boston. gently caress Jeff Green, gently caress Chandler Parsons, and I hope Chris Wallace falls down a flight of stairs.

I’m trying to talk myself into being ok with him or Bamba. I honestly would also be ok with the Grizz trading down for another pick in this or next year’s draft and picking up someone like Wendell Carter

It seems like there aren't really any obvious duds in this draft's top 6-9.

Like, I would be nervous about drafting MPJ, but reputation alone makes him a potential steal if he falls out of the top 5. There are questions about how Trae Young will translate to the NBA, but most of the short scoring guards who excelled in college and then busted haven't had anything approaching his point guard skills. Wendell Carter and Mikal Bridges aren't super exciting but it's really easy to see how they would translate to the NBA as productive role players.

Basically it's a good draft for making yourself believe your team didn't gently caress up

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills because I keep seeing reports that Memphis is looking to trade down, which I both hate and don’t hate????? We need top level talent, but it seems like after the first two picks it kind of becomes a hodgepodge of talent coupled with critical flaws. I want a high pick, but I also know that we have an idiot manning the helm so we can’t be trusted with a high pick.

I’m talking myself into second tier prospects pretty well now. Bamba is a physical freak! Triple J is projected to be good! Michael Porter was the top pick before the back injury! Trae Young might be like Steph Curry!

I would like for us to not be completely awful next year. I’m coming around on the second tier draft prospects. I’m thinking Triple J would probably be our best bet, but if the physicals come back good on MPJ I wouldn’t mind taking a swing for the fences with him.

Is it weird to not be enthralled by Bagley potentially dropping to us? I think I’d rather have Triple J...

Also, reading lots of smokescreens about Doncic dropping out of the top three. There’s no way he gets past Atlanta, right?

Carter has does well enough in various "project a superstar" formulas that I think you have to at least work him out you're drafting top 5, since most teams are from what I understand using a proprietary formula of some sort that are pretty similar to the ones we see fans make.

I’m pretty sure Chris Wallace is enamored with him. If Doncic doesn’t fall to us (he will) and Porter’s healthy (he isn’t) I wouldn’t be surprised if Memphis traded back to refill the war chest
