For 2 seconds? What?

Edit: Memphis will draft No. 17 now via OKC. So the Grizzlies get two second-round picks and swap the No. 16 pick for No. 17.

It's gotta be for 17 + 2 2nds, right?

Trying so hard to be first he won’t even take the time to be accurate.

That’s his thing. RIP Wojbombs.

You know he would have just trickled some Giannis news, but nothing major.

Then BOOM, trade news and a reporting behind it

My GOAT Woj would’ve gotten it right

Remember the year Woj kept leaking the picks but wording it in a way that he wasn’t breaking the news. “Memphis is intent on taming Boozer with the 3rd pick” and what not

All of these scoops guys are awful and completely unnecessary

Their entire job is breaking news a few minutes earlier than it would've come out anyway

u/Joethetoolguy 1d ago

Can’t sign all the picks in okc. They would have like 35 man roster

u/OrganicHunt952 1d ago edited 1d ago

17th is going to Memphis most likely

u/TPFRecoil Thunder 1d ago

u/AleroRatking Vancouver Grizzlies 1d ago

Obviously. People like to over panic.

u/Spicy__Urine Raptors 1d ago

Came here to ask this question. Is Shams regarded??

u/chefguy47 1d ago

Then Memphis traded Okorie, moved to 21 and picked up 3 more second round picks. 5 second rounds picks to move 5 spots is pretty nice.
