I decided to listen to the Bill Simmons mock draft pod because I like the work done by some of the guys there (KOC, Tjarks) and I forgot how much the mainstream guys just do not give a shit about the Cavs. It is amazing to me that they see the pre-2021 Detroit roster and think "this is a good core group of players." Same for Houston, that roster is horrible outside of Wood and maybe Tate.
BS was actively rooting for the Cavs to trade 3 down for the OKC 6+sme other shitty asset so Presti could flip 3+future LAC pick for 1. Why the hell would we do that? I would be fine keeping any of the top 5 guys in this draft over trading down so someone else can get Mobley or Barnes or Green. I could see a trade down if Mobley/Cade are both gone but I would just take Green there and roll with it.
They (other than KOC) also spent a solid 4 minutes talking about how Sexton is glorified Jordan Clarkson. Like these guys are supposed to be hoop nerds and they only watch like 6 teams. It is incredibly disappointing that everyone acts like we have the worst core group in the NBA (before the 2021 draft). We are in a much better position than several teams, including Det, Chi, Sac, Indy, and Hou. I would argue SAS, ORL and a few others im probably forgetting
Probably not the best place for this but I got really frustrated after listening to that and figured people on here would get it.
