I always view anything front offices talk about before a draft as smoke. No reason to lay your cards out there which can allow a team to move up in front of you, or take them to extract value from you, etc. I also have to say you're reading a bit too far into him calling those players by name. I agree that it means he values those 5 players the most (they are also our current starters), but I don't think you can say he values Gorgui more than Ricky because of the order he said them in.

I hope you're correct with how Thibs views the KG situation. Rather see him coaching/front office in some capacity than to see him warm the bench most of the year. Oh and after dealing with Sam last season, the shooting thing ismusic to my ears every time. As for free agency, i'm excited to see what this roster and Thibs can attract. I still don't want to see a max player or even 15mil+ on one player, but 2 for 15ish would be great.
