Did we really expect that Holmes wouldn't be there at 28? Did we really need to make this trade?

Did we really expect that Holmes wouldn't be there at 28? Did we really need to make this trade? We didn't want another 2nd round pick taking up a full time roster spot this year anyway. I know we gave up two extra 2nds on top of that, but still.

Good pick.
At this point it's more important to get your guy rather than hording late round pucks we don't have room for. Fine with the trade.

It’s 2nd round picks. Who cares? We’re going to have Tyson and Pickett rotting on the bench this year. 2nd round picks aren’t playing for Malone.
Also can easily just buy one if they love a specific guy

With a rookie center I'd prefer to retain Huff on a two-way. Give the kid an NBA quality defender to battle in practice and follow up and down between Grand Rapids and Denver.

I figured the Knicks would take him with one of their two picks, so smart to jump ahead and grab him if he's your guy. Especially since the price was minimal.
Holmes seems like a perfect fit as a backup 5 on this team. Especially since he could realistically also play minutes alongside Jokic if needed. An athletic big who can block shots and shoot the 3 ball? Sign me up.

I just wanted Calvin to draft the best big available and trade up if need be, and he did that. thought it would be Ware, but the Heat reached too early. Holmes is not a bad consolation prize, to say the least.
my confidence is slightly restored in Calvin. now get a veteran backup PG and resign KCP and this is a homerun offseason.

I'm not mad at the Holmes pick at all I like it. Just was wondering if we needed to move up.
Obviously Calvin and crew thought that we did and so they got their guy. Bravo to that decision for sure.

I do not understand why people want to keep huff. Dude looked 100% unplayable Now to start watching YouTube highlights to overreact to Holmes

We sent 3 2nd round picks to move up 6 slots in a bad draft? bad draft if you're a poverty franchise and need top tier talent. Holmes is excellent value. Calvin did good. K. I’m convinced. Good draft. Good Calvin.

We sent 3 2nd round picks to move up 6 slots in a bad draft? Edit: if he turns into a rotational player this year, it’ll be worth it All the experts are saying this is a bad draft...but I always wonder what people actually mean when they say a draft is good or bad. I feel like generally speaking it's usually in regards to the top 5-10 picks or so. Obviously for the teams picking in that range, not having any clear cut top prospects in this draft is a major negative. But every draft has plenty of talent, and in hindsight there are always mid to late first round guys who become quality rotation guys if not starters or even stars. This one kind of reminds me of the 2013 draft. The top of that draft was incredibly weak when it came to top tier talent and there was no clear #1 guy. But it still ended up being pretty decent overall with Giannis going #15 and Gobert going #27, plus guys like CJ McCollum, Steven Adams, Dennis Schroder, Andre Roberson, Mason Plumlee, Tim Hardaway Jr, etc all going 10 or later. As always we just gotta hope we identified a diamond in the rough. Even if just another Christian Braun level guy who can be a top 8 rotation player. That's all we really need from Holmes anyway, backing up Jokic and AG.

I like it. Holmes appears to have NBA talent. The picks in the 50’s are worth basically nothing, so smart deal.
