wow i'll have to go back and listen to that episode. i agree, that's a little extreme, but at the same time i haven't been able to figure out how wiseman becomes a really high-end player.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 20:14 (two years ago) link
well he has to become a really good defender. offensively i think there's an avenue there for him since he's athletic, can run the floor, and has pretty nice form on his jumper. but if he's not giving you good defense then yeah i'm not sure what kind of player you have
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 25 May 2021 20:22 (two years ago) link
The Warriors could have selected a better player than Wiseman, but there wasn't another center on the board. I'm not sure they knew that Klay was out of the season at that point because he got injured right before the draft. They hadn't traded for Oubre yet, so they could have drafted a SG and picked up a free agent center to back up starting center Marquese Chriss (who got injured on the second day of the season oops).

wild thing about that wiseman pick besides the fact that they didnt take lamelo is he played one college game total
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 20:48 (two years ago) link
he cld def still be a very nice player but itll take a while
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 20:49 (two years ago) link
they dont need to him to be at his full potential yet but they need him to be serviceable.. which he was not.
― i was too much listening to your accent (Spottie), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 21:00 (two years ago) link
a jump from not serviceable to serviceable is pretty common for second year players, but on the other hand center defense is also considered one of the hard things to learn

No one knows what’s gonna happen with Wiseman. The thing is Ball is just so special.

you sayin' that lonzo is a... big baller?
― What's It All About, Althea? (Aimless), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 22:45 (two years ago) link
Wiseman is kind of a throwback to the high school draft era. I remember when Jermaine O’Neal seemed bad for like 2 and a half years.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 23:02 (two years ago) link
interesting that the two recent guys who slipped past #1 and made the mistake obvious as soon as they stepped on the court, lamelo and luka, both have superior feel for the game
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 23:27 (two years ago) link
also both did not play in america
also their names being with the letter L
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 25 May 2021 23:47 (two years ago) link
also both of them are 6-7 primary ball handlers

BREAKING: Meyer Orbach, the second largest shareholder in the Minnesota Timberwolves, filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis alleging owner Glen Taylor’s pending sale to Lore-Rodriguez is in violation of franchise’s partnership agreement: https://t.co/NlM0Cd324s— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) May 26, 2021
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 22:39 (two years ago) link
The complaint filed by Orbach, a New Jersey real estate mogul who owns more than 17% of the Timberwolves and WNBA Lynx, also includes a significant revelation: Despite Taylor's public statements to the contrary, he has included no provision in the $1.5 billion sales agreement with Lore and Rodriguez that requires the new ownership group to keep the franchise in Minnesota upon taking control of the team, according to an exhibit in the complaint.

Jon K explained the suit, apparently the minority partners want their payout as soon as the deal is done. but Taylor is trying to make them wait two years because of the stupid "mentoring" thing he wants to do where A Rod and Steve Internet learn the ropes from himhe leaked the no move clause thing just to make Taylor look like a dick in the local media

Duncan is a restricted FA. If he opts for a lesser contract in order to get 'a fit', he just increases the odds Miami will match it, then they could trade him anywhere if they wish.
