    Pacome Dadiet emerges as a top-20 talent

    There are far more proven commodities in the 2024 NBA Draft, but Dadiet is tantalizing. The 6-8 wing is still just 18, but the shooting stroke is gorgeous. He projects more as an off-ball wing, but his ability to attack long closeouts and make jumpers off the bounce is ideal. He's one of the top off-the-dribble, shot-makers in this class. Plus, there's real playmaking in his tape, and he's an excellent cutter from the slot who cuts hard whether he gets it or not. All of that stuff translates. The Frenchman has a shot to be a real gem. --Trotter

    Would Toronto give us 19 and 31 for 14? Or New York 24 and 25 for 14?

    My guess the Blazers IF interested in #3 would make this offer and if the Rockets bite cool and if not then whatever

    ( player ) means maybe throw in to sweeten deal but nothing major

    #7 and a future 2nd and Brogs - ( Reath ) for #3 and J. Landale

    I would be ok with this deal now granted a gamble but we have no idea how healthy Brogs is or is not and that would be the biggest sticking point but if the Rockets are cool with it -- I am too but would not give up anymore to move up in a average draft

    Hopefully he becomes available...
    Rumor is that Kessler is clashing with coaches. They want him to work on screening & being a garbage man. Kessler has been trying to develop a 3

    That would partially explain why he started only 22 of 64 games this year. (compared to 40 0f 74 as a rookie)

    In that scenario we had got the #5 pick.

    Nonetheless, I just don't care about a draft in 6 years when we need a shit load of help now. I would take Salaun and Williams (or maybe Buzelis) at 5 and 7 in a heartbeat. The Lakers have the ability to be good again in 6 years, because of their ability to attract free agents, for me to hold out hop their pick would be any good.

    Hate to be a homer :). but doesn't that seem a little too much? Not sure if Rui looks very good without LeBron.

    Brog at best is worth a late first or couple second, I think it is a fair trade but I try not to be "homeristic" when suggesting trades

    Presently, of course he is. But do you believe that nobody in this draft will have a career that will be better than the remainder of Brogdon's career? Or even that nobody in this draft will be better in three years than Brogdon will be at that point? Because that's what teams are drafting for... not next year.

    Sounds like the kind of guy who becomes available a lot and ends up playing all over the league. Very good shotblocker, but if you are that size and don't want to be a good pick-setter and don't envision the opportunities as being a Rudy Gobert-type who can score double figures just on loose change around the basket, I don't think he's a player you win with.

    I think he's trying to figure things out. With the right support system, he absolutely is a winning player.
    Id love to get him on the Blazers.

    Much better prospect than Clingan is
