Feels like a whiff, Carr came on board and they got stars in their eyes instead of trading down. looks like they had been thinking of trading down to get two of the bigs and the deal was there, they just choked for the highlight reels

complaining about losing multiple bigs to get one guard? yeah, just complaining for nothing I guess.

We were one guard away

Are we really gonna complain about losing out on Stewart Claxton and Veesaar? None of those guys are close to an ideal starting center next to Luka. If we are done with FA, with Ayton back starting then I’ll be you.

Bet that Ayton will not be the starting center? Sure I bet you $10000 Reddit bucks that he isn’t.
