Lavert shouldn’t decent minutes on this team. I’m not mad that AJ is back either, he had moments learning on the Wiz.

Gotta say, never heard of the 60th pick. International 3 and D guy. Maybe a draft and stash

I'm at my keyboard now, rather than my phone...so I'll give expanded thoughts. In the lottery, i think you need to draft guys with one distinguished skill, at least. Burries is a good defender and scorer, I can see his game translating to the NBA. Ament is the right size. He's not a finisher, he's not overly athletic, he didn't shoot well. I know he has pedigree, but I don't see that one loud skill. Heck, I'd have rather had Reed from UCONN, he can rebound. Too many of those guys wash out. No one can predict what he'll be at this point, but his need to improve his body and learn basketball in a short period of time concerns me. As far as the ceiling/floor argument. I think most solid teams are built by finding high floor guys. Super stars are unicorns...Giannis was a lucky find where he was picked. Typically you find your superstars in the first 5 picks of the draft. The key is then not wasting picks on chasing unicorns. It's finding rotation players who can be useful, or be useful trade pieces. NBA develops at a rate faster than MLB, you don't get years to find yourself. While there are exceptions to the rule, late bloomers are fairly rare. In MLB draft I'm much more about high ceiling, you can afford to miss. It's just too painful to completely miss in the lottery with the NBA. Overseas teams are full of tantalizing draft picks. I loved the AJJ pick a few years ago, I'm very surprised his game hasn't really translated. He's the type of guy I'm looking for all the time.

I was referring to his time with the Bucks. I had forgotten about Haslip. Ugh

Rollins Herro Jaquez Turner Ware Woukd be my guess

I agree, and the more I think about it, the 13th pick in any draft is far from a sure thing. Ament may develop. Time will tell. They both should get minutes.

Trade can’t be made official until July 6. Happens every year. Sucks that the kids get a picture in another hat. i think Berries is solid. Love the pick. He’s a winner. I fear Ament will be like our last Tennessee reach (Tobias). He may figure it out, but likely somewhere else. I’d have rather had Looez as a project. Hope to eat crow.

We make the pick, it just shows Miami. Although I’d rather someone else drafted Ament.

Congrats on the weight loss. I found out I was diabetic in mid-March, have cut out a ton from my diet, and am down from 278 to 250 (I’m 6’8”). Needed to shed some weight, but at this point I’m concerned mainly with my A1C. I know the two are linked, so hopefully the weight loss helps. Just on medication right now, no insulin. Hoping to stay that way or get off meds entirely. Wake up call.

Watched The Stranger on Netflix, a good binge.

In Racine...Wells Brothers and Derangos In Kenosha...Luigis and Casa Capri I’m also a big fan of Rockys, wish they had one in So Ill!

Let’s go Blues!!!

That had to be deflating for the Wild. I think the Blues take it in 5, with MIN taking one of the STL games. MIN has stifling defense, and Dubnyk is kryptonite for the Blues. Hoping to get through this series unscathed and take it to the Blackhawks. The return of Sobotka can't be undersold for STL, that is a huge addition for the playoffs.

I would think one of those currency conversion places could help. If it is out of date, I'd try my luck at a coin shop. I can't imagine it would be worth a ton, but would be rid of it. I brought money back from UAE when I deployed, thought it would be cool. It wasn't.

Or you could just get a Gold ETF that tracks the price of gold. Agreed. I didn't read back, I thought they were discussing physically owning precious metals.
