How many times is a guy denied permission, but stays with the same team? Seem to recall the Seahawks asking Holmgren in 1997, but might be wrong on that.

But we already know that, in a series, teams don't let the barrel move work so we really have no idea what the results would have been when we were forced to do different plays and strategies - maybe it would have clicked. I do think:
If teams aren't letting the barrel move work, and Giannis is putting up numbers like 35 points a game in the finals and 34 points a game against Boston it seems like he's found a way to do different plays and strategies.

I’d be down to pursue Okongwu but this feels like a draft where #1 could really be anyone at this point and we don’t even know what Atlanta plans to do with their roster in general much less who they might target in the draft.

There’s no asterisk or anything, but in retrospect our championship run was pretty charmed.
Suns were a super young, first year being good team with minimal playoff experience outside of Chris Paul continuously choking. Devin freaking Booker was their best player.They immediately hit the skids similar to us post-finals. They’re on their second blowup since. They were like a D+ level finals team.
Hawks, basically the exact same as above but multiplied by a factor of 100x. Trae Young was their best player. F level conference finals team.
Nets, were a volatile group of personalities with a lousy coach that had 2 of their best 3 players hobbled or out basically the whole series. Also needed an immediate blowup after that series. Coach gone. Players gone. Kevin Durant was their best player and was INCREDIBLE. But, their second best player that series was who? Blake Griffin? Bruce Brown? Jeff Green? C+ level second round team given the injuries. Only that because Durant was so good. We should have blown them away once Kyrie was hurt and Harden could barely move. We eked out the series victory by the slimmest margin possible.
Miami is such a weird team. Consistency in personnel, but their results have been up and down year-to-year. This was a down year. Butler was their best player but was completely AWFUL. Probably a B+ level first round matchup who we made look silly. There’s a possibility that they were the toughest matchup we faced.

Yeah, that's a center who you could replace Brook with. A versatile defender who is a better fit for playoff basketball than Brook. Shot 33% from 3 this year, he continues to extend his range. Starts a 4 year $70 million extension next year.

I love the old man chats between you two (remember when X happened 27 years ago?).

I haven't been following a ton but I do get the updates from draftexpress who have seemingly been calling Sarr #1 for a while now. Feels like the Ant draft to me where everybody is saying anybody could go one but then you find out it was pretty much just chalk the whole time and a whole lot of posturing. Definitely have no idea what Atlanta is going to be doing though. If they take Sarr though I can't imagine Okongwu is going to be super thrilled considering he's been waiting what seems like forever for them to move Capela and he get that spot.

Frank Nova wrote:Brook and 23 to OKC
Dort and 12 to MKE
Saves us money, moves us into the lottery and gets us a big upgrade from Beasley to play next to Dame. OKC can move Jalen Williams to the wing and Chet to PF and Brook gives them another shooter, shot blocker and a bigger body to help Chet overall. Brook is 1yr 24m expiring and Dort is 2yrs 32m. This fits team needs for both teams and makes sense financially for both as well.
Who says no?

Houston gets: Middleton (toss in Beauchamp if they'd like)
Milwaukee gets: Tari Eason, Dillon Brooks and #3
Then..
Milwaukee gets: Mikal Bridges, Finney-smith
Brooklyn gets: #3, #23, Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez.
Lillard, Pat B
Bridges, Green/AJJ
Dillon Brooks, AJJ/Pat C
DFS, Eason
Giannis, FA

I like that line up a lot, I think bridges is a great Middleton replacement. I just don’t see why Houston wouldn’t just go Bridges themselves.
