    Completely agree that Mikal goes earlier. That is just who I would like that I think would fit this team oh-so-well. Porter could end up being the best scorer in this draft so to get him at #6 IF that was possible, would be a steal IMO.

    Shai to me is just a bigger PG who has worked his butt off (which I like) to move up into the Lottery. That fact that he is a combo at 6'6" instead of 6'3" is attractive as well and fits with Dame.

    But how would we get to 6 without trading CJ

    If Portland has a way to get to #6, they should try and leverage that to 2-4 to get Luka

    Trade the TPE and pick up another first. Package it with 6 and 24 and maybe it gets you up enough?

    Brunson IMO would immediately be the primary backup PG.

    Another PG in our range that would immediately improve our bench:



    He's a player that I would trade up a few spots for as well.

    His shooting is what stands out the most: 6 attempts from three per game -- on 43%(!) shooting.

    I still don’t get why an NBA team would promise a guy their gonna draft them, what happens if someone makes a great offer to you and wants that pick? What if some guy you had higher on your board drops to you?
    Seems like bad business to me, but I guess that’s why I’m not a GM

    I’d do that. Was high on Isaac last year.

    But I just can’t see Olshey trading CJ.

    No, sorry, but I really like Isaac. Drop him off of there and I'll think about it.

    How about this?
    ORL Gets: #24, McCollum, Swanigan
    CLE Gets: #6, Fournier, Aminu
    POR Gets: #8, Love, Isaac

    Draft Bridges at 8. Try to shed salary to sign Tyreke Evans for the full MLE.

    Orlando are not giving up Isaac, #6 and Fournier for basically just CJ. That's just mad.
