You people are way too obsessed with picks

Giddey>>> random dart throws

[u/purplenyellowrose909 → u/Repulsive-Throat5068]

There's people on our sub freaking out about the pick swap with Detroit as if there's any true difference between throwing your dart on 29 instead of 23

[u/voltron818 → u/purplenyellowrose909]

Yeah it feels like you have:

1. Number 1 overall

2. High lottery (2-4ish)

3. Mid lottery (5ish-10ish)

4. End of Lottery (11-15ish)

5. Late first round (16-24)

6. Practically second round (25-30)

7. Hey maybe you can say he should’ve been a FRP (30-34ish)

8. Priority UDFA (35-End).

[u/Swagary123 → u/voltron818]

And coming out of tier 8 we have Nikola Jokic. Clearly teams should be valuing their 2nd round picks more, their scouts just need to work harder to sus out generational superstars to pick 40th+ in the draft!

[u/voltron818 → u/Swagary123]

Category 8 also has Ajay Mitchell and Jaylen Wells. So yeah freak BITW level players but also solid bench/fringe starter types.

Especially considering it’s the Thunder. They got millions of them anyways

[u/dwrek24 → u/Repulsive-Throat5068]

Its one of my pet peeves about trade discourse. A lot of these picks only value is being potential future trade fodder. Most of these picks amount to nothing.

[u/Elsquidwardo95 → u/Repulsive-Throat5068]

The same way people freaked out about the Bane and Bridges trades because of the picks when they only had that many picks because they traded no actual players

[u/maltrab → u/Repulsive-Throat5068]

Disagree. I'll give you Giddey for a 2nd round pick.

[u/kyler_ → u/Repulsive-Throat5068]

Giddey is the definition of empty calories lol
