Looks like the Warriors want to give Paul George a four year max deal and the Orlando Magic are now the Vegas favorites to land Klay Thompson.

Oh my goodness. I wouldn't just fire the Chicago GM for that trade, I'd walk him out the door and change all the locks.


Why? In their eyes they had 3 choices:

1. Trade with another team and get picks and hope to draft a PG

2. Don’t trade and go onto draft and hope to draft a PG

3. Trade with OKC and get a 21 year old PG who has a lot of playing time with great players and was a starter on the 1 seed.

Basically, they think Giddey is their long term PG to start the build. Instead of gambling on draft and then develop they took a very young known player. And I think its a good move. Giddey is too raw to help OKC at this stage but has huge upside for a growing team.

OKC didn’t trade him due to his play, rather they realized they have a window to go win a title and Giddey is too young in his growth curve to help. They told him he’d come off the bench next year and he asked OKC to find a new home which they did. And OKC did improve as well.

Whether one or both work out won’t be known for some time. But each team feels they got better for their current situation.

If Giddey can figure out his shot, he’s a potential all star. Caruso is a solid role player at best and Chicago isn’t a contender. I like the trade a lot for both teams.

Can someone explain to me why g league players have to go through the draft process. I thought all of the g league teams were affiliates of NBA franchises. Why cant they just move up to the affiliated team?

It's not all guys whose rights are owned by teams


Most of those guys skipped college and did the G league instead, like Scoot.

He may not be on the Hawks by the end of the night if they get the right deal from the team getting Clinghan.

The racism in choosing non American black players is paramount tonight. (kidding...but you know some will say otherwise).

How the hell do two French guys and a 6 foot white guy get drafted in the first three picks.
