  1. If we could do a bundle of trade-backs, say to Atlanta from #5 to #8, then from #8 to #14 with Saints, then to #20 with Pitt, we could procure a minimum of one additional pick in the 2nd, maybe 2 in the third. I'd be super stoked if we could build up the offensive line with tackle Taliese Fuaga in the 1st and center Jackson Powers-Johnson at #37 in the second. Then, with an additional second from Atlanta, take WR McConkey. With the 3 thirds, you can potentially grab a RB (J. Brooks, Braelen Allen, Estime), IDL, LB, CBs. Ideally, we come out of the 4th round with 7 or 8 new guys to add to the squad that the new regime can coach up. I think there are 12-14 guys in the early part of round 1 that teams might consider moving up for. Lots of guys at 5 obviously, 2 WRs, a TE, probably all the OT's (Alt, Fashanu, etc), CBs (Kool Aid, Arnold, maybe Mitchell if he keeps rising), the edges start getting traction in the early double digits (Turner, Latu) too. And that doesn't even build in if one of the coveted QB's fall OR if someone really falls in love with Daniels or McCarthy. Of course we could use any/all of these guys minus the QBs, but we need quantity as much as quality and could really get some bang for the buck sliding back and collecting later picks.
  2. I love the glory muscles...so grabbing a Nabers, Odunze or Bowers, but wonder if this is the year to trade back and get a few extra picks in the 2nd-4th rounds. If we moved back into the low 20's, we could draft linemen (O or D), CB, edge; less exciting but might be more prudent in the long run. If Herbert has more time, could exploit an opposing D with a speedy later WR like Tank Dell from last years draft. With an additional 2nd rounder, maybe steal Ladd McConkey from Georgia.
  3. Putting together a solid staff with HC Jim Harbaugh and GM Joe Hortiz from the Ravens. Can't wait for the draft and see them not fuck it up.
  4. Dominated the ugly blue paint last night vs. Indiana. AD was a beast. Couldn't quite shake the pesky Pacers and won despite only hitting ONE three pointer all game and that one came in the final minute of the third quarter. Fun watching Reddish and Davenport hound whoever they were assigned or switched on, primarily Haliburton. Reaves was money with a big first half. Gotta admit that I was whatever initially when I heard about this tournament. Ultimately, I enjoyed it and it gave us a little preview of who might step up for the actual playoffs in 5 months. Really like what I'm seeing from Cam Reddish and this game kinda solidified that.
  5. With the team getting up to full strength, our defense has improved significantly. IST finals tonight vs. Indiana, highest scoring team in NBA. Great test to see if we can shut them down with Vando and Reddish closing out the shooters.
  6. New season begins tonight in Denver. Tough place to play/win. I like the look of the team to start off the 23/24 season. Can play Point Guard: DLo, Austin, Vincent, Lebron, Hood-Schifino Can play Shooting Guard: DLo, Austin, Vincent, Prince, Christie, Reddish, Vanderbilt Can play Small Forward: Prince, Rui, Austin, Christie, Reddish, Vanderbilt, Lebron Can play Power Forward: Prince, Rui, Reddish, Vanderbilt, Lebron, AD, Wood Can play Center: AD, Hayes, Wood, Castleton There is a large amount of lineup flexibility and depth where we could go small or tall, and potentially withstand some injuries. Shooters (DLo, Austin, Vincent, Prince, Christie, Rui) to fill in around Lebron, AD are a plus as well. Fun season ahead!
  7. Looking forward to the beginning of the pre-season this evening vs Golden State. We've got a deep squad with some interesting young and new guys coming on. Hopefully AD and Bron can have health this season, and when one or the other is out, that we've built the depth to withstand their absences.
  8. Has there ever been a significant free agent who was traded at the deadline for a big haul who then resigned with the original trading team in the winter? For example, Shohei being traded by the Angels and then resigning as a free agent with the Angels.
  9. Agreed. The best teams play well when it counts most, and that is what makes a champion. The Lakers have consistently not shown up in the 4th quarter against these Nuggets. Kudos to the Nuggets, they've earned their standing this season. Outside of Lebron, AD, Reaves and Rui, contributions from the remaining players in this series has been minimal. That isn't championship caliber. It has been a nice run, especially considering how we began the season and the roster turnover. Certainly gives me excitement moving forward to the draft and next season.
  10. Gotta say, the flopping and selling has gotten out of control. They should crack down on that shizz. If you flop, it's challenged, and they figure you out, should be a foul on the flopper. Regarding Thursdays game, we should have not deviated from the script. The plan of attack was working and put us in a great spot late into the 3rd quarter, and then for whatever reason Lebron went rogue. I wish they would stop helping AD on Joker. Stay home on the shooters and take what you get from single coverage on him.
  11. This one was all on Lebron. The multiple missed layups, dunks, and especially the worst decision making to take multiple three's when we had a larger lead and momentum, some piss-poor D at times too. That game was a W that Lebron just tossed away. Of course, I feel like AD is too inconsistent offensively in addition. Jocic is a solid defender, but he's not JJJ. Frickin' attack him.
  12. Hachimura also into the starting lineup over Schroeder should help too. Considering how well the Nuggets shot, I'll take the moral W in making it close at the end.
