My goal is to gather proven players. Gobert's is proven. Right now you have a bunch of dudes who might be proven one day.

Idk. I just remember you said there were only a handful of players you woulda traded Lonzo for beginning of the season, and then you trade him for Dennis Smith just a few months later. And trade Fournier in that same deal for another "maybe " in Clarkson.

Ahh gotcha. Actually we are on the same page here. I think Smith is more of a sure thing than Lonzo, and I can't afford to miss since I went all in. That was the reason I did it. I knew I would have to give up a little more to get Smith since Lonzo's stock is not as high. I don't give a shite about Clarkson. Whoever wants him can send an offer.

I think Lauri is can't miss. He looks better than Staps as a rookie. Similar size, stronger build. Not saying he will be as good, but his floor is a top 40 player with higher upside. I could have gotten Elfrid but chose Dunn FWIW.

But IMO I think my roster has gotten much better.

Dennis Smith JR
Mitchell
Wiggins
Lauri
Prince
Hield
Clarkson
Dunn
Sabonis


That group has 3-4 future studs depending on what you think about Wiggins, plus a few role players that will be solid in fantasy. I have some projects in Okafor who we will find out more in the coming weeks, Frank who I am really confident in, Maker who is still far away, OG (really high on this guy) and Skal.

I will continue to make moves, but I feel like I have stayed true to what I am trying to do and overall my roster is looking good. CWill sucked for a few years before finally contending. He did the same thing in TDBL. I want a team that will be competitive for years to come.

Frats 2nd round pick for clarky!

Them boys showed up tonight

Insta regret

Is Oladipo the best breakout story of the year or the greatest frick you Russell Westbrook story of the last 2 years?

Whatever it is I am loving it. didn’t think he was gonna be this good. But knew he wasn’t the shite player that he got accused of being last year. Its sure looking like he took that personally.

Neither did I...watching him play with Westbrook, he just looked timid and didn't know what to do in an offense that was all about Westbrook all the time. It was a really bad fit for him.

I may be able to help.

Can you define 'guy' a lil better?

Derozan kinda guy

Not the kinda guy I'm looking for

None, sent you a Gchat... Think I found the right email

If not, someone just got a message they certainly won't understand
