    Interesting. I mean I like him. But just don’t know how well he’ll score at the next level. He reminds me of a really good college PG named Aaron Craft who went to Ohio state

    Well, he was shooting NBA 3's last year at a high clip. Even some logo shots. So at least he can spread the floor.

    Philly has two picks at the top of the second round. Morey and Olshey have a good relationship. That’s probably where I’d look at a trade up, assuming they would have to move to land Scrubb

    I'm thinking a trade with Boston.
    #30 + Kanter -> TPE + Cash

    Boston is in the Tax and is looking at a $16M bill before even starting FA. This trade would save them ~$10M.

    yeah Kanter or poirier would work.

    Fearless Prediction:
    Neil trades 2 2nd rounders for the last pick in the 1st round (from Boston, which has 3 1st rounders this year).

    I wonder if Hayward prefers a non cap space team, so trying to work out a S&T with Boston, with the option that if not, he walks to Atlanta and they get nothing.

    Boston has been desperately trying to move up by packaging their picks. They'll probably unload at least #30 if they continue to fail. But Houston is also pursuing another first rounder, apparently:

    That makes a fuck-ton of sense. However, we don't know how FO feels about Kanter - he has a way of burning bridges.

    Jeremy Woo on Chad Ford podcast says he doesn’t buy the scrubb first round hype, and it’s probably agent driven. Does buy that Portland is interested and thinks it’s always been more about 46 than 16. This was recorded before the Covington trade.

    Best player in this draft class 10 years from now will be Obi Toppin.

    Just like a couple years back I was saying the same thing about Tatum.

    Bulls trying to correct a 14-year-old mistake?

    Is Wendell Carter Jr.'s value really equivalent to '06 Victor Khryapa's?

    I don't get it. I thought Carter was one of their few decent players.

    What you don't mention is that he'll also be warming the bench for some shit team.
