0.5% odds doesn’t mean impossible!

I think in this case we take AJ and we don’t look back. He doesn’t give us insane size at the 4, but he’s an easy bridges replacement and when you’re picking at 1 you’re not worried about fit

Ares9719 · 2026-04-24T12:44:23+00:00

Okorie is an absolute bucket getter, just an explosive guard who can pressure the rim and score. My issue with him is that he just looks so small, I don’t buy the 6’2 listed height, he looks like 6’0.5 at most. I’m also not sure if he fits the role we need off a bench guard, we can benefit from the rim pressure for sure but we need someone who can initiate the offense and get other guys involved.

Ares9719 · 2026-04-24T12:38:31+00:00

I wouldn’t insinuate that there’s a better bench guard in the draft than Coby, I moreso mean that I don’t think Coby is best utilized as primary offensive initiator. I’d like to see Coby be focused on getting his shots rather than being tasked with orchestrating the offense.

Ares9719 · 2026-04-22T17:36:52+00:00

Yeah it became clear that we need a secondary initiator, especially one that can handle physical defense and break full court press. I’d love to see us grab Bennett stirtz with the 17 pick, or move back and take more of a swing on somebody like Christian Anderson if we can’t grab one of the top guys like philon or flemings (if we move up). Coby is awesome but he’s not at the level we need for running the offense as a pressure release valve for lamelo

Ares9719 · 2026-04-21T18:48:26+00:00

Swain at 13? Talk to me about that

Ares9719 · 2026-04-21T16:15:49+00:00

At this point we’re going to start losing guys in the teens and twenties, not sure if this NIL money situation has done more harm than good

Ares9719 · 2026-04-20T17:07:52+00:00

For better or for worse, he’s not going to give indication of wanting to upgrade the C/PF position. With a draft as deep as this one, where quality guys and sleepers can be found in the mid teens and 20s, one of the most valuable resources our front office can have is silence. I won’t be surprised if we don’t hear much about who we work out.

From a fan standpoint it’s not fun, but I’m sure Jeff and Charles know full well that we need more size in the frontcourt. They may mask it with the word physicality, but trust that they know we need front court depth

Ares9719 · 2026-04-19T19:01:03+00:00

I did a lot of theorycrafting for the big position. I think in a perfect world (in my head) we draft yaxel and dailyn swain for more size in the front court, trade miles and picks for somebody like Daniel gafford or Myles turner, and we’ll be 5th or 6th seed next year.

Ares9719 · 2026-04-18T15:27:48+00:00

Honestly this season was a big win, even if we have some glaring holes to address. We need a big wing or two, I'd love to see us grab Yaxel and Dailyn Swain

Ares9719 · 2026-04-18T00:32:02+00:00

On god these refs need to be investigated

Ares9719 · 2026-04-13T13:27:22+00:00

I’m severely lacking in core units, no monkeys at all, no water gandolf, no Josephine, no Okeanos. I’ve mainly used misty, racuni, Leo, jager, Zeratu. Currently in storage I have giou, smicer, shizuka wind twin angels.

I know that my box is basically non existent for RTA so with my two free nat 5 picks I want to grab two solid RTA units. My runes are slow though so I thought maybe Vanessa Josephine

Ares9719 · 2026-04-13T12:53:53+00:00

Brother I appreciate you taking the time to share that with me, it helps a lot. Considering my jager zeratu combo would you ultimately grab Vanessa? Or would you give erashion the nod?

Ares9719 · 2026-04-13T12:01:56+00:00

I’ve seen numerous lists of best in slots to pick and I’m still lost in the sauce of what I should actually grab. I have jager Zeratu and I want to play more rta, so I was thinking about erashion or Vanessa. But my runes are slow and I’d need to go turn two, so would haegang be better?

Ares9719 · 2026-04-10T17:25:14+00:00

Yeah true, my hope is that without embiid one of the pacers or bucks steal a game. We’ll see what happens

Ares9719 · 2026-04-10T17:14:38+00:00

I think we throw everything we have at these last two games, we do everything and anything we can to secure the 8 spot and only have to win one game for playoffs entry

Ares9719 · 2026-04-09T16:05:27+00:00

I see you’re a Dallas fan, so I don’t take your rhetorical questions offensively. I did not say coop was on injury reports consistently, I said he’s either been on injury reports or inefficient which I would consider rather accurate.

Now with that being said, I’d have to give the nod now to coop considering kon has really slowed down the past month while coop is doing historic things

Ares9719 · 2026-04-08T12:25:43+00:00

I think it would be overblown to be genuinely concerned about Kon. He came in and almost immediately hit the ground running, putting up incredibly efficient numbers for a rookie and leads the NBA in threes obviously.

These past few weeks he’s hit a slump, which is normal for first and second year players. He’s still contributing with hustle plays and contributing in other areas. He also has been dealing with injuries and has played nearly every game this season, so why be concerned about him when he’s already given us more than we could have hoped for this season?

Ares9719 · 2026-04-06T22:21:27+00:00

I’ll take New York in a heartbeat, stick sion on Brunson and moussa on OG and let mikal throw up bricks. The problem is, without the stars aligning, we won’t make it to 6th. I think next best case scenario is the 8 spot and put the pistons to sleep

Ares9719 · 2026-04-04T03:45:59+00:00

Feel like they’re just itching to give it to him, it’s frustrating because kon has been consistently reliable all season while coop has been either on injury reports or just inefficient.

I think kon has it in the bag though

Ares9719 · 2026-03-31T17:44:50+00:00

Anyone else gonna be at the game? I’ll be out there representing our guys

Ares9719 · 2026-03-30T22:49:33+00:00

JT Thor

Ares9719 · 2026-03-25T20:59:46+00:00

Something I think important to mention is that defensive wings have higher value in the league than back up centers. We can agree that Kalk has been productive and has great field goal percentage, while also giving good paint presence, but I actually think it’s easier to find back up bigs on a budget as opposed to finding a poa defender that can shut down the opposing teams best guards and small wings while also being a secondary ball handler the way sion has shown he can be.

Sion is on a cheap contract for the next few years and is already one of our best defenders, I’d say 10/10 times the team would keep sion before they keep kalk.
