    Sacramento is kind of fucked because they've got young players at just about every position, none of them is particularly good, but Vlade's responsible for most of them and can't admit that. They should DEFINITELY take BPA.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they picked Doncic. Apart from the fact that Vlade and he should speak the same language, he would be the best bet to get the most out of their players. (But then, what about Fox?) Bamba might very well be the better NBA player down the road, but he'd require a major roster overhaul, and I don't get the impression their owner is that patient.

    Detroit should offer them Griffin and hope their owner goes for it.

    If I were them, I'd be pretty excited about doncic and bogdanovic on the wings, fox at the 1, hield 6th man. I still like WCS as well. Skal, Jackson. Young, but interesting pieces. If Giles could get healthy...

    I dunno why, but I will be super pissed if it's Dallas that ends up with Doncic.

    Neil will probably get a bunch of high lotto pick offers for CJ and turn them all down because he is trying to force a square peg into a round hole with McLillard... trading CJ is admitting he was wrong and his ego will never allow it

    I don't care if it's some sad sack franchise like Sacto and (currently) Phoenix. Atlanta would be fine, too. I would like Memphis less just because they're a rival that could easily bounce back. And actually I would be okay if the Clips ended up with him - I don't hate them now that Paul's gone.

    What else they got? Need some sweetener. Taking back a nearly new Evan Turner would do it ;)

    What s crazy is they could pass on both for MPJ.
    This is a definite possibility:
    1 - Ayton
    2 - Bagley
    3 - Young
    4 - Porter Jr.

    Here's a question:
    Supposing the Griz don't want to take another player, they just want to shed salary. This would appear to rule us out.
    BUT: we have trade exceptions
    BUT BUT: you can't bundle them (right?)
    BUT BUT BUT: what if we trade our trade exceptions for players with partially/unguaranteed contracts? THOSE can be bundled.
    (We can also thrown in pick(s) and or Collins and or Biggie.)

    So: ARE there any players on unguaranteed/partially guaranteed contracts?

    Somebody in here tell me, "Is Porter as good as he says"? He could drop to 4. If he is a Durant type player, is he worth taking the chance with that dreaded injury situation overlooking his potential. I will say I was crippled by a L4,L5 spinal injury. I had surgery 14 years ago and at 54 ,I deliver windows and doors and lift as much as 200 lbs. at a time by myself. Now I do correct lifting techniques . But I built myself into one strong mutha. So overcoming this injury is possible. I still hoop too, albeit at a hack level.

    If he didn’t have back injury he would be unquestioned #1 pick IMO... unfortunately he does, and the back is the most unpredictable injury a player can have

    Would you take the chance with Portland being burned by the Bowie and Oden situation before. Just asking, since his talent is generational.
