Damn it. Had a favorite player in the draft to fqvorite team combo and gets blown up.

 

[cuseattle]

OiG gets Elijah. Nice.

 

[Day2]

Has to feel better for Doc this year. In 2019, his team traded for his daughter's former boyfriend who cheated on her via getting a stripper pregnant.

Had to start running him out of town somehow.

 

[Alsacs]

Going to the Jazz.

Yeah I don’t like that spot for him. Snyder is a tough coach he is going to have to play D to get minutes.

 

[jncuse]

Probably better that Hughes gets to the Jazz than the Pelicans... Pelicans have a number of bodies due to multi player returns in past years.

 

[Day2]

Doc has as much of a say there as me and you.

Uh huh.

 

[Orangezoo]

Yeah I don’t like that spot for him. Snyder is a tough coach he is going to have to play D to get minutes.

I don't think that will be a problem. He wasn't allergic to it here.

 

[Day2]

He earned that after being willing to work with George last year.

Maybe he’ll give him a deal worse than the one he gave his real son.

Better fit bball wise but if you had to pick you would probably want to live in no la.

Snyder is a horrible person.

Imagine, the entire Jazz roster said that once.

 

[chugg21]

Uh huh.

Yeah I'm sure Daryl is making moves to key roster parts to make sure Doc is happy. Definitely seema like something he'd be doing.

 

[jncuse]

Possibly. But New Orleans has never been a destination that is able to retain or really attract NBA talent.. amongst NBA players it does not seem to be desirable place to play.

Too damn hot!

 

[jncuse]

Now we are getting to the point in the second round where it is arguably better for a player to go undrafted... and then get a larger choice of where you can play next year especially if you have a decent summer league showing.

 

[Day2]

Tell me that again when he acquires Austin.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He will, but the nice thing about being with the Jazz is they will give him every opportunity to develop.

Elijah is in control of his NBA career right now. If he doesn't stick it won't be because he didn't have an organization that supports him. That's not something every 2nd rounder can say.

And he matches up well. The Jazz need backup wings. He has as good a chance as you can hope for as a non-lotto rookie to get minutes on a winning team.

He got an elite shooter to put around Simmons and Embiid and chopped off another $3.7m after dumping Horford. Seems like a pretty obvious basketball transaction but guess I prefer the nba to tmz.

 

[cuseattle]

Nigeria. Drink!

 

[jncuse]

Does anybody know if the NBA is expanding the rosters this year a few spots due to Covid Risks?

Would bode well for more second rounders to make rosters.

Oh snap!

There has to be a concession of some kind. wonder if they will even bother with the full G League.

Don't know about G-League.
I can see the league doing a pseudo G-League where each team is able to assign 3 or 4 players, and they create teams that play in a few bubbles.

They have to have something going on because of that team of high end HS kids that elected to skip college.
