I didn't make this statement based on this trade alone, but for the trade yeah I think it could've been better, but given the circumstances I feel it was still a pretty decent haul. High first , 2 more picks , I actually like Hart, and Ingram eh, but is what it is. I liked Griff based on when he was with us.Guy gets fleeced and you miss him? He got a player who was drafted cause his dad had a big mouth, Brandon Ingram who might not play again with his health issues, Josh Hart, 3 Picks. The most valuable of which hes trying to trade for a vet. I am confused as to why you miss him.
I didn't see why people liked Hachimura a month ago. I still don't get it.
I got a feeling this is gonna be Atlanta trying to jump us for culvar

I'm fine with either really. I Just hope we can add another pick for Bol, hachimura or gogaMost reports are saying Cavaliers love Cameron Reddish.
I'm really starting to get nervous over this Reddish talk,,,like we actually might take him at 5? Why?
A guy surrounded by two great players (who should have taken the pressure and defense off him) shot 35 % overall and 33 % from 3?Skills. He can actually shoot. I am not crazy on Reddish. But hes the upside pick. They hired Beilein a developer of talent. Gottleib is a developer of talent. They may take someone who is considered more raw but that can be molded into what they want.
Now with the AD trade to the Lakers, the question for the Cavs is who does Griff targets at #4.
I figure it's Culver or Garland for the Pelicans. I think Hunter at #4 becomes the best case scenario for the Cavs. Then the Cavs can hopefully pit the Suns, Bulls, and Hawks against each other for Garland or Culver. A parley for trade down with both could be in play for the Cavs. Trade down to #6 with the Suns so they secure Garland and trade #6 to the Bulls or Hawks for Culver.
With Ingram at SF & presumably Williamson at PF, the Pelicans need another guard to play beside Holiday, so I’m guessing they take either Culver or Garland. I figure Lonzo Ball is likely to be be moved to another team, possibly in conjunction with the #4 pick.

He can't shoot based on his college career...and he doesn't seem like the most motivated guy out there either. He's got all the measurables,,for what thats worth.
In one post you said "[Reddish] can really shoot", then in another you make excuses for him not being a "catch and shoot" player. At Duke, Reddish was not much of a "shot go in" player, period. His mid 30s FG% was embarrassing by ANY measure. Every draft some fans have a bad player they fall in love with. This year it's Cam Reddish.He was surrounded by two ball dominant players and was relegated to a catch and shoot player which isn't his game. Much like how Bosh or KLove were relegated to different roles playing with DWade/Lebron and Kyrie/LeBron. Reddish is a play maker but never got that opportunity at Duke.
