If you want pain the look at the first 14 picks in that draft. Only 2 teams completely fukked up, guess who was one of them :mjlol:

And most of wanted either one of the Bridges too:mjcry:


I remember I wasn't favoring Mikal because his playing style , he clearly turned out fine where he is. He would have been a decent pickup too.

As far as the top 14 picks hell nah I won't check.

I checked :aicmon: @Youhadasparkwhenustarted



Wait wait wait hold on hold on...

we picked Kevin Knox over Shai Gil-Anderson
MPJr (I don't care about the previous injury)
And the high flyer Lonnie Walker..
Edit: Add Afrnee Simons

Its not missing the picks its about who we picked over theses fools. We find these people who hardly thrived in college to play at the NBA level. If we do find a unicorn and they start to ball we trade em. :mad:

We fukked up that pick bad. Fizdale made Miles Bridges and Kevin Knox play one on one and Kevin won, and that was enough to sway the Knicks into picking him (which is utterly ridiculous in hindsight). We've had some very bad management and coaches who've really set us back over the years.

The debates were all between either of the Bridges and Michael Porter Jr for people that didn't care about the medicals and just wanted a home run swing. I don't think anyone wanted to hear Knox initially. His summer league performance tho :russ:

Would y’all do a Brad Beal sign and trade for Evan Fournier? He’d be signing for like 4 years 190 or some shyt like that.

Yeah as far as I can recall Porter was never in the conversation and I still think it was the right decision. But then they decided to swing for a homerun with Knox. It was between him and two Bridges, one they decided was too old and other one they decided against because of the now infamous scrimmage :snoop:

Knox was the least polished and Perry, Mills and Fiz thought they had the next KD on their hands :mjlol:
