What are you hoping for with this pick?

  1. Draft Scoot and keep him

    27.6%
  2. Draft Miller and keep him

    28.6%
  3. Draft someone else at 3 and keep him (please specify)

    3.1%
  4. Trade down, but still draft in the lottery

    10.2%
  5. Trade the pick for a starting forward

    30.6%

    1. Hire Cobb (iykyk). . Trade pick, Ant, Nurk, Little for 1st pick then draft Wembanyama ;)

    2. Trade pick and players not named Sharpe, Dame, Grant for Siakam or Bridges or Markannen.

    3. Draft Miller and convince Dame to stay.

    Sharpe and Ant play the same position, which our GM has even noted, so that’s not gonna happen

    Would Boston do something like #3 & Ant for Brown?

    If Boston gets beat in the ECF i think Ant/#3 could get us Brown(resigned).

    Brown is 295/5 eligible. He won't be offered that. Still he'll be very expensive. Is he worth it? If we get him, and have Dame, we will not have much to get quality role players. Siakam and Bridges will be cheaper

    I like this one. I’d rather have Amen than either Scoot or Miller and I think HOU takes either Miller/Scoot.

    I only have a few guys I’d be interest in at #20 and #23, but we could trade up to grab our guy or trade one for our pick back in 2024.

    I believe in the twins’ work ethic. Sharp and Amen could be Mike & Scottie, at least stylistic wise.

    Eh, I don't understand why. Ant is probably the best three point shooter in the entire league 23 and under. He has decent size and great athleticism for a Point Guard.

    He'll be good enough to be a championship calibre pg in a couple years. Not Dame level, but probably Terry Porter.

    Trade down to #6 and tip your cap to John Nash.

    I have 2 questions…

    What’s the most we can get in a trade for the number 3 pick?

    What’s the most we can get back in a Dame trade?

    Amen could allow Sharpe reach his potential as a player.
    I don't think Amen fits with Dame though.

    The same GM that failed to construct our roster correctly.

    They play the same position the same way CJ and Sharpe played the same position. If Dame is on your team, nobody else gets to be starting PG.

    On a well built team, Ant is a PG.

    If you trade the pick for a player and maybe future picks you better not miss on that trade. If your doing what Dame wants and trade the pick for veterans players again you better not miss.

    You could trade #3 for #6 and #11. I think Ausar would fit with both guys because Ausar plays off the ball and could be the #3 of the future with Sharpe at SG.

    At #11, maybe you can package with #23 for a higher pick or trade for roster upgrades.

    We know SA will take Viktor.

    Given Hornets have Lamelo, is it safe ro say they will take Miller for #2??

    So really, Henderson is arguably BPA when it's our time to pick. But we have a PG already.
