Jalen Green- #2 pick
Alperen Sengun- #16 pick
Jabari Smith- #3 pick
Tari Eason- #17 pick
Amen Thompson- #4 pick
Cam Whitmore- #20 pick (projected #5)

This is the last 3 years not including the guys traded.They traded a #29 pick, #24 pick, and a 2nd round guy. Absolutely meaningless to their long term plan considering the list above. You don’t want 12 rookie contracts.

Also they drafted Brooks technically so might have always wanted him.

And they paid FVV because well they have ALL rookie contracts and like 100 mil cap space. So if you need to fill 2-3 roster spots and have unlimited money you can have fun.

They are essentially paying FVV extra money for him to be cool with being mediocre and having 0 playoff expectations for the next 3 years until they have to pay their actual stars.

I would. But I guess they see it as filling holes and attempting to install vet leadership.

FVV makes sense. He can play either guard spot. I think Thompson will end up being a 3. So they had a need at PG. I believe they added Patty Mills too.

No doubt they are looking to make a splash and push the youth forward. If Brooks can turn it around, he can be a flippable future asset. I just don't like blocking young players with FA signings. Players don't get better sitting on the bench..
