I have to go on this rant, just have to

Mike Dunleavy JR, ur officially the worst GM the world have ever seen, yes, worse than Nico Harrison, get the fuck out ur office and never be seen again

I dont even know where to start, Jimmy Butler, everyone knows how toxic you are, whenever u dont feel like playing u create dramas, cant even take getting benched, I cant believe how Warriors decide to accept this toxic ass dude into the franchise. Wherever you're traded to is not controlled by you, said want to be traded, then say no to Memphis, only yes to Phoenix, dude u dont have a no trade clause u got no say

Made it very clear that he'll only extend with Phoenix, which i guess end up not being a possibility, so he still agreed on an extension with the Warriors, 60 fucking million for this old ass? Hell i rather pay 60M to Wiggins fool. Cap flexibility is completely fucked after this trade, i dont see how you can move a washed up dude with 60M contract few years later

Onto the fit in Gol…

WINNERS:

Blazers:

Just for how they traded for Deni Avdija on draft night to me is crazy enough, incredible value for such a promising player, also fits their positional need too. As for their draft pick, to pick Clingan at 7, its absolutely incredible value. Move one of Ayton and Rob Will and let Clingan play, he fits in well to this young core

Jazz:

Jazz 1st pick at 10th going for Cody Williams isnt good for me, especially when Nikola Topic is still there, it was actually a horrible pick. But, what they did with their next 2 picks is absolutely amazing to me

Isaiah Collier, very high ceiling with great physical tools. Kyle Filipowski, very skilled big who fell so so much. Jazz tho seems like the perfect team for him, just seems so much like a Jazz guy

I absolutely love these 2 picks, what a steal right there

Knicks:

Knicks just absolutely nailed every single one of their draft picks. Dadiet at 25, great great ceiling pick, to them its a low risk high reward guy as they dont n…

Here it is, my final mock draft of the year. As this was a busy year i basically didnt do any scouting on most of the 2nd round, neither did i do a full 60 pick mock draft. I do still wanna talk about some of the guys that i slightly know how they play who i have in 2nd round now

Jaylon Tyson, Cameron Christie: NBA ready 3&D wings, decent shooter, should go early 2nd round (reminds me much of last year's Colby Jones)

Ryan Dunn: Guarantee early 2nd round, one of the best defenders in the draft Bobi Klintman, AJ Johnson, Justin Edwards, Juan Nunez, Nikola Durisic: Some teams early 2nd round should take a shot at their ceiling, expect at least 2 of them being early 2nd round

Justin Edwards, Nikola Durisic, Juan Nunez, AJ Johnson, Bobi Klintman: all prospects that has good ceiling but very very raw rn, expect at least 2 of these names getting called early 2nd round

Ulrich Chomche: Again great ceiling, great physical tools, he should be one of the names getting called at 31-33

Baylor S…

Rob Dillingham:

On a big board he ranks high, very very skilled, handles, iso game, all there. Defending and playmaking tho, its quite mediocre. This makes him hard to fit in to most teams, its uncertain whether he should be a PG or SG

Teams probably prefer someone who can easily fit in, so example, Topic, clearly a PG, Sheppard, also is a PG/SG guy but his sharpshooting will make him fit in way better no matter if hes a PG or not

Which is why i can see a world that he will drop in the draft, if he slipped out of top 10, especially after Spurs and Jazz, there might be a world that Dillingham will be completely out the lotto, or not even close

Bronny James:

Just a minor one here, since Bron did say he has a chance to go paly with his son no matter what his contract is, there might still be a chance that some big market teams draft Bronny before Lakers at 55, cus srp is like nth to lose and its worth a risk to somehow add LeBron to the team

Bronny isnt even that bad of a prospect, …

Here is my 1st Full First Round Mock Draft, hopefully my anaylysis wont be too horrible and could be helpful for you as i rlly dont know this year's prospects as gd as last year

Guys that just missed out and definitely go early 2nd round:

Kyshawn George, Jaylon Tyson, Cameron Christie, Ryan Dunn (3 3&D guards, just dont know what separates these 3 and it has been common that these 3&D slide down to early 2nd round)(Best perimeter in the class but lack of shooting rlly kills his draft stock)

Oh it feels gd to be back at mock draft, unfortunately im not letting myself make another one until May as my huge exam is incoming, which will affect if i can go to university, so dont rlly want myself to commit to another mock draft and spend time on it. I do have 1 more post about some takes for the 2024 Draft which i will hopefully get it out after 1-2 weeks if i have time

As you may know, I do like to make my bold predictions and add it into my own mock drafts, as a guy that predicted Cam Whitmore falling out of lottery (https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/4BXelQiW9sH7_a/the-cam-whitmore-problem-and-the-undrafted), im a bit confident that some similar situations will happen in the 2024 Draft as well, take a look at the analysis as i explained why i think so

Do also wanna talk about couple of guys that fell out of the lottery:

Isaiah Collier

Fully confident that he will end up being a lottery pick. The physical tools is still there, very athletic and quick, gd playmaker, high ce…

Yea it is super super late alrdy but just got time to finish all these typing, hopefully yall can gimme ur suggestions as well as ones i mention arent the best

Celebrity game:

LET MY MAN KAI CENAT HOOP!!!

I quite like the celebrity game actually, its gd to see all these ppl from different places hoopin tgt

My only suggestion will be to make it back to a 12 min quarter with time stopping whenever play's stopped. We definitely have celebs that received little playing time. Its not like Celebrity Games takes up much stamina, guys just have fun in it, would definitely look forward to more gametime and guys playin more mins

What they're doing is absolutely amazing tho, all the special features in these 2 years of the celebrity game made it an entertaining event, pls keep that

Rising stars:

I hate this tbh, just feels like the excitement is way lower. Yes its now a tournament typa game but if u look at the previous rising star games, where they dont need to care bout going for the tar…

The Warriors are currently 10th seed in the West, 25-25, just came off the crazy game VS Phoenix, which the Chef cooked

Trade deadline:

Basically we just did 1 move, sending CoJo to Pacers for them to waive him, plus some cash in exchange for a 2024 srp. I like that tbh, save some tax payment, get a srp for this year where we can find the next 2nd round talent

But is that rlly the only move that we can do? Here it leads to 2 of the main problems imo that Warriors have now:

1. Depth

Unlike other teams, we actually are too deep. Especially on the wings. At SG/SF, Klay, Kuminga, Wiggs, Podz, GP2, Moody, Quinones, Santos. Out of all these guys. Kuminga is a must-play. Man has been our 3rd best player of the season. With the scoring developed, the size, the strength, the athleticism, and the defense, he just simply needs to play, 34 MPG at least pls

While for Wiggins, horrible 1st half of the season, but recently it seems like things are going well. Not like he's gone very efficient b…

Phoenix: A

Great move, Royce rlly is needed there for more shooting and the defending, Roddy can also be sth valuable for Suns, do think that he can develop even more in Suns. Think Phoenix will be fr a threat in the West

Nets: A

Got the value for Royce while getting themselves a new PG who runs the floor way way better than Dinshittie, 2 expected moves from them which i like very much

Grizz: B+

Didnt thought they will give up Roddy so fast, from a 23rd pick in 2022 to only a pick swap, kinda wasted the chance of developing him, but he isnt rlly needed there so not too bad of a move, just surprised that they gave up on him so fast

Raptors: A

Cleared the cap space is the 1st thing with Schroder, 2nd they got back Canadian Olynyk, that's sweet to see. 3rd, for a most likely 28-30 pick they were able to get Olynyk plus Agbaji back, which Agbaji is a guy that i believe can develop into a solid 3&D in the future, love both these moves so so much

Utah: B

Trading Olynyk is expected, …

Pacers: B

It definitely isnt the best deadline for them, thought they can get some upgrades on the wings when they only went on to swap shooter for shooter. Well at least they got 2 extra srps back, seems gd to me. Gd moves, just could be better

76ers: B

They will need the scoring help, and Buddy will help with his shooting, or will he? He can catch fire sometimes, but not always. He rlly need to be offball to be effective, but can 76ers do that? it doesnt seem like Hield will rlly help them that much when Embiid is absent. But dont get me wrong, when Embiid is back, Hield will probably be one of the bigger piece for them offensively

Spurs: A

Sure, expiring for expiring, if they can get a srp for Doug, get it, gd move. I hope they waive Marcus Morris so 76ers can sign him back

PLS LIKE ❤️ AND COMMENT 🗣️ THX

Remarks: some trade details may not be correct, details were not released or info is wrong on NBA.com…

Bucks: A+

Sonic the hedgehog and a srp for Bev??? CMON, i dont need to say much, how did they even pull this off!!!

Knicks: A

Grimes and bums and 2 srps for both Bojan and Burks??? this upgrades their team so much, with another 3&D player in and Bojan, who rlly fits in the squad no matter with Randle, or without. He will be crucial in the period Randle is out scoring for the Knicks

Thing that stopped me from giving an A+? Knicks desparately need a backup PG who can run the floor, non-Brunson mins without IQ has not been gd, and they failed to get one with this deal. Hopefully they can get it in FA market

Celtics: A

Springer actually is a great defender who rlly can develop into a solid piece in the league. Celtics need such players cus they will be over the tax and hard to acquire such players anymore. For them to get Springer for 1 srp? STEAL!

76ers: D

Bev, key part of their rotation, for Cam Payne… do they know that Bev impacts the game way more than Cam Payne. Springer, al…

Mavs: C

Personally, im not rlly a fan of PJ Washington. To me he might just be slightly better than Grant, maybe not. I thought doing this move with their own frp is very very useless, they swap PF for PF basically, similar size as well which Mavs seemingly is searching for, rlly dont get why is this the move they do

Besides, Gafford is a great fit, no doubt. But, rlly thought their focus on upgrading can be on the wing spot where they will be hoping to search for a menace defensively to up this team's defense. They got Lively who's gd, thought they rlly dont need to get Gafford to start over him

Both moves are not the most needed ones, one even being a huge overpay. Could definitely do better

OKC: B

Hayward is gd, but will he rlly help that much? I thought all the Bertans, Mann, even Poku's expiring can be spent elsewhere with frps attached, i guess Hayward will be sth for them, but rlly not the most needed for them

Giving Poku for Hayward will make more sense, not rlly sure why…

Boston:

Use the remaining Grant Williams TPE and maybe get another wing to add to the incredible team

Cavs:

Although the team is on a roll, it shouldn't be enough when comes playoff time. Better to move one of their wings away for some more depth at PG/Bigs

Bucks:

Defense is much needed, this is not a championship squad rn. Connaungton and Marjon will be the preferred trade package. If that dorsnt get much for them, look out fpr Portis getting moved

Knicks:

Its a must for them to move Fournier somewhere imo. For a backup PG. Brogdon, Fultz and Tyus will be the dream option, as for Bruce, do think they need a true PG

76ers:

Changes need to be made to survive these non-Embiid weeks, think they will need more offensive power. Batum needs to stay cus he’s great for them, Marcus Morris and Covington can walk. As woj report, 76ers should rlly call up Detroit for Bojan and Burks

Pacers:

Buddy Hield needs to be moved for upgrade, most ideally for another 3&D wing. Guys like Royce ON…

Bulls are in a tough tough spot. They're currently 9th seed out east and no real chance at making the playoffs. Many of their wins came from the time where Lavine is out and Coby White leading the team.

Many of their biggest contracts have absolutely no market, no one needs Lavine or DeMar as teams acquire their star players alrdy, and Vuc, well lets just say no one want to commit to an older C with not much defending and has clearly fell off a bit alrdy

Coby White has been their bright spot this year. So many games that he went off and is averaging career high numbers. Pat Will also is hving a gd season, although nth close to a star, he has been a solid role player, shooting 40% from 3

Ironically, guys who hv the most interest from other teams are nowhere close to their ‘star’ players. Alex Caruso, great great 3&D PG, Andre Drummond, great rebounder, and Torrey Craig, decent wing on minimum, are the 3 who probably is the hottest around trade talk.

What I would do if im the Bulls G…

Celtics:

Apologies for my mistake before saying that Celtics cant use their TPE, to clarify, they can use it for this season, the rule starts next season where they cant use it anymore

They successfully kept the Grant Williams TPE for possibly another trade after the Tillman trade, and do believe that Otto Porter is guys that they look for. Big wing, who can defend and shoot, put him back in a quality team, he might be able to do what he did in Dubs 2 years ago and contribute much for them in the playoffs

Raptors:

just get as much srps u can tbh, think 1 will be the price for Otto now as he not rlly hving a good season, plus he will be an UFA after this season so wont get too much value off it

PLS LIKE ❤️ AND COMMENT 🗣️ THX…

Pistons:

I think this will be a great return for Pistons. I've heard yall said that Pistons might want Bojan next season just to be a mentor and provide the scoring for this young team, but then when u hv a chance to acquire younger talent like Rui who might be able to do more in Pistons with more touch and after a season in LA where he kinda grew his game, i think u gotta take it

That mentor role can be handed to some others, it's probably not hard to find one in FA

Simone probably can replace that shooter role Bojan has now, it will give him more opportunity to grow his game and show he can be a long term piece in detroit

Lakers:

Lakers still need more shooting beside Bron imo, and i think Bojan can definitely do that, beside he will provide more offense for this team, cus they're ranked 20/30 in team offense. It might get them worse defensively but the bigger problem is probably the offense now, think they will get that sharpshooter they wanted for so so long and take this trad…

Remarks: Lamar Stevens also included

Grizz: A-

tbf, Tillman doesnt seem like a long term piece for Memphis, guess it's just the thing that they dont want to extend him, just like Jazz trading Simone, so i guess it's a gd move, cant believe that a tanking team actually will be using Trey Jamison as C

Boston: A-

Xavier kinda isnt hving a gd season, maybe it's just due to the fact that he can serve when the team beside him got worse without Morant. But in Boston he will be surrounded by stars and will hv more room to do his thang, he probably will perform better in boston

Also Celtics need guys who hv Bird Right and believe that Tillman hv bird rights. When they probably wont hv much room to do anything beside minimums in FA market, acquiring guys like this with srps will definitely help

lmk if u agree
