2022-23 NBA Random Thoughts thread, Volume XIX: Perfectly Balanced, as All Things Should Be

Duane Washington Jr with another nice game for the Suns, second straight 20+ point game for them. Putting up 13 PPG (in only 17 MPG) since Christmas, shooting 40% from three in that span…of all of last year’s random scrubs (anyone remember Kelan Martin?), he was the one I thought might be worth keeping around. Kinda wish we could have found some space for him.

Forgot to mention, discovered while looking at his bbref profile that his middle name is Eddy...pretty badass namesake

Good for him. Seemed like a likeable guy. Pretty sure James Johnson ended up taking his spot because they were keeping him around right until the very end of camp. At least, that's how I remember it.

I see Houston earned another excellent L last night . Tankathon gives them the toughest remaining SOS among the bottom dwellers. Charlotte will probably win some games eventually, so we just got to worry about the Pistons and Spurs right now. Pistons got a big W last night to help the cause.

I have no clue what we should do if we end up with 4 Picks between 20-32, we don't have room for that many new guys & I'm not sure how high their value would be. The 31st would have more value than 30 & even 25 given hoe the team can decide on the contract they offer.

Don't we also have Spurs' 2nd rounder (making it 5)?

That's protected like 31-55, so we ain't getting that one.

We had to cut him to get the final money and roster spot for Ayton. I think he was signed before we had a chance to get him back, but he didn't fill a need

if we wanted to take a freebie shot at a 4, we could try Bazely from OKC for a pick or Goga or something...has raw talent and young but not much PT this year

I was checking out their roster and they have so many undrafted players. Their scouts are top-notch. They just keep churning out decent players and getting draft picks!

I'd personnally love to consolidate them into two top 20 picks somehow. That said all 4 picks are gonna be more valuable than normal, so we'll have a ton of options. I see lottery-level talent littering the back half of the 1st round.

Luka can't win with these cats. Mavs are stuck in mediocrity and might be there for awhile.
