“You know Clyde is dying to say “Nickel with the dime”

Clyde will never have the opportunity to say that. If Nickel makes it onto the floor for us in an NBA game, one thing he *won’t* be doing is passing the ball (a “dime”) to anyone else, or even really be *expected to* pass the ball to anyone else. He’s a really good shooter, and can’t do much of anything else (although he possesses good size and at least tries a little bit on defense).

I’m thinking he tops out at Duncan Robinson (who was undrafted) if he develops, which really is not bad at all for a pick that low.

Still wish we had picked up a behemoth Center as Mitch insurance, though, whether he leaves or gets injured. I want to believe in Huk, and for sure he’s had his moments, but I haven’t seen enough to be excited by him or think that he can really be a piece for us.

Watching Nickel highlights for too long makes me wonder how anyone has missed any shot ever.

Just watched Kayil and Nickel highlights
Not bad
Their shooting style is fast and slightly leaned forward to the right hand but they can both shoot
They also seem quite athletic

Isn’t Kawhi getting his contract voided, or does the NBA just hope we forgot about that?

(It worked for the premier league and Manchester City I guess)

With no center selected, it does appear as if they will be making an effort to keep Mitch. The two picks they did make can each be signed for the $1.3 million second round minimum. If they let Landry walk, that could free up enough additional space to make a competitive offer.

I think I figured it out. Yep. This will all make sense when we sign LeBron for the TPMLE.

We treated this draft exactly like the 2024 draft, and that was the one where we had to stay under the second apron. So all signs unfortunately point to the Dolan edict being legit.

LeBron will never go there . Clippers are looking to keep Kawhi and I think he wants to stay en California.

Pistons trying to get Kawhi or Lebron. Not sure either of them would want to play in Detroit. It’d be so strange for Lebron to do it? If they get a healthy Kawhi in the playoffs, that’s a good team, but what are the odds?
