We still pretending the Warriors didn't make a mistake drafting Wiseman over Lamelo or nah

[The God Poster]

bruh lamelo ain't even played 30 games this year, played with more different starting lineups than most teams have had in two seasons, and the main dude hating been salty as fukk he can't do his lamelo/cade comparison trolling because cade been is even more injury prone than lamelo is

half this thread don't even watch these players. outside of the bucks, the main team lamelo lights up constantly is whatever team hali is on

Triggered

Most of that post was directed at Poole

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

I'm not gonna quote the dummies who kept arguing it was the right move

Yall know who yall are.

Yall could have had Poole and Lamelo and been SET for the next ten years

What Melo doing now? What’s charlotte record?

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Could have had anyone in the draft not named Anthony Edwards.

We needed a center full stop.. The next two best centers in that draft was Isiah Stewart and Jaylen Smith

That's probably why they say you shouldn't draft based on need.

Hindsight is 20/20… Haliburton was there too

The #4 pick + Wendell Carter trade from the Bulls that was on the table>>>>drafting Lamelo

Yeah, so I gotta hold this one (FU @Gil Scott-Heroin ).

But the stark reality of that draft:

We needed a center like @BigMoneyGrip said.
There wasn't a real trade market for the pick.
He stayed off the court and despite having a great work ethic by all accounts, he couldn't do what was asked (rightfully) of him, even with Steph on the floor.

I was wrong and @Don Homer and @Gil Scott-Heroin were right. FU both.

That said, I hope he's able to stay on the floor for Detroit. He needs reps.

Gotta blame Penny Hardaway for Weisman development

Bulls offered the #4 + Wendell Carter

I mean it sucks they used that number two pick for basically nothing, but given how the rest of the time they seem to develop players into what they need and their ability to recruit the right pieces over the years...can't win them all I guess Pretty sure the track record ever since they drafted Steph in both drafting, trading for and signing players is still mostly positive, as the 4 titles seem to indicate

Ironically it's the highest draft pick they had in decades that turned out to be totally useless

Poole doesn’t become Poole if Lamelo is there

I don’t think LaMelo becomes the LaMelo we know either.

 

[staticshock]

nikkas acting like Melo would have them going undefeated

What has Melo shown to warrant this? GSW has already won a title. They’re good

 

[Higher Tech]

Draymond would have punched Lamelo too

LaVar woulda beat Dray ass lol

 

[CHICAGO]

This board overrates the fukk out of LaMelo.

Most of that Lottery turned out to be meh. Haliburton is the guy people should be talking about the Warriors drafting instead of Wiseman.

MELO WAS ALREADY AN ALL STAR
IN HIS 2ND YR.

DONT TRY TO DOWNPLAY HIM
BECAUSE HES BEEN BANGED UP
WITH INJURIES LATELY.

He was an injury replacement who low key probably shouldn’t have made it over bridges but beyond that you have a point
