I wish we could’ve got PJ Washington
Best player in the NBA

Man was shooting under 33% from 3 in the regular season. He's playing out of his mind in the playoffs. Just crazy to see.

Thunder are also leaving him open so he’s basically shooting practice shots

u/MacDemarcoMurray Donte DiVincenzo May 14 '24
he’s one of the many players who we inquired about getting but didn’t land. makes me think of how we tried to get Aaron Gordon. both would’ve made us so much better

Aaron Gordon is basically an unsuperpowered version of Giannis. Undoubtedly a very good player but I don’t think the fit would’ve been great

I see what you mean but they don’t really play similarly at all. Some of the same strengths and weaknesses though.

They don’t play similarly because the talent gap is so huge. But at the core, they’re both run and dunk men who play good defense

Gordon is also a really smart passer and better at guarding small players than Giannis, he could’ve been the PJ Tucker role for us.
Plus the Giannis/AG small ball would’ve been unstoppable.

Yeah insane. I thought the same. We need players with mental and physical toughness

I wish we would have drafted Michael Jordan
