I would have taken TyHal or Avdija even if we didn't already have Uncle Julius at PF.

ObiT & Avdija were expected to compete with Edwards for Rook of the Year honors as they were the most experienced draftees.


So Knix executed the opt out of Taj's contract and then resign him much cheaper.  $2,283,684 Salary (+ Taj got $1M guaranteed on his previous deal). 
By being patient Knix even save about $2M over what they might have offered Taj in the offseason.  I'm surprised the vet min isn't higher for someone of Taj's years (though that $2.3M is pro-rated for the 10 game already played).
What'd Phil have, an $11M option on Taj?  Geez.

Absolutely impressed with Edwards as well.  And P Williams has been fine

The 7 and 10 picks can be scoffed at right now - I wouldnt have a prob with this - only with respect to PHX because Haliburton behind Paul would have seemed so natural (Jalen Smith, who I like - has been injured - so gets an INC but Hayes seems to be a DET error)

Hayes was a risky pick with potential high upside.
I didn't like the Jalen Smith pick.

I think Prince Hal fits on any team.  A player.
Spurs likely will regret skipping on TyH for Vassal (a nice shooter)

White, Murray, Jones at point for Spurs

I guess if DeRozen is dealt a guard slot opens

I like Vassal (but have only seen about 5 mins of his career in one game)
I just don't think he has the all-around game and innate smarts TyH does.
Not a knock on Devin Vasculature, more praise for THai.
I was surprised at the time that SAS went Vassell over TyH.
Great luck for Sacto.

I think I was the first guy here who wanted Haliburton so I'm happy he is playing well but we don't need game by game updates.  Let it go.

Tyrese Haliburton is one of the most exciting passers in this class, and has a very unique set of skills that should make him a useful rotation player for years to come.



Agree

Just another Franc ...

10 games in, TyH might be the best 2-way player on the Kings.


PHI started 3 rooks due to CV.
One guy undrafted, another was a #49 pick.

NBA might find itself playing the 2nd half of the season in a Bubble, if it wants to complete things.  A 2 week quarantine for all might be required, followed by Bubble play.

G-League is already doing it.
