I would love to get Founiers and Luwawu or Baze and Luwau. PT is so pissed right now on how right I was. They wished Gentry said "we need a undersized 6'4 guard who just wants to shoot.".

I swear 42 and Fear both stopped what they were doing to see how bad I was going to melt when we drafted Noel. They were not disappointed.

damn, you called it. No one else knew that was needed a tall athletic wing on this team. Cheers mate

To be fair, hasn't gentry talked about "just needing talent and basketball players" in general?

Don't worry he will change it after the draft.

The fact that 504 thinks Luwawu is one of the guys Gentry was referring to is absolutely hilarious. There's a 0% chance the team selects him.

Who says Gentry was making that comment with any particular player in mind and not just making a general statement of wants?

It's not exactly some shocking news that we need help at the wing and Gentry looks for players that are passers.

Lots of players fit that description in today's game. And something tells me Gentry hasn't been spending what little free time a HC has watching your man crush play games in Serbia.

Free Agents:
Nic Batum
Harrison Barnes
Evan Turner
Maurice Harkless
Allen Crabbe

Draft:
Jaylen Brown
Denzel Valentine

Could be a lot of guys not named Luwawu

Seriously 504, you are full into conspiracy territory, there isn't even evidence Gentry knows who Luwawu even is. And if he does, he certainly hasn't been pounding game tape. He is probably just now getting acclimated and delving into the offseason game.

6'7 is the average height for small forwards. Athletic and capable of facilitating and scoring is the ideal archetype in today's game. This isn't the smoking gun that we are going after Luwawu you want to make it out to be.

So you really think the team is going to go into the draft with the philosophy of "there is nobody that fits that mold that's available so we ABSOLUTELY have to reach for a 20 year old skinny kid from France to step in on this team that wants to win now to save us?"

Your logic makes zero sense.
