    The Draft is Paul Allen's baby! He loves that time. This doesn't surprise me at all. Might as well take a swing (even late) in this draft!

    Too soon to give up on Leonard for a pick? :)

    Funny that was my first thought. Not that I want to give up on him but rather that it makes the most sense

    I'm just not sure we have the realistic assets to get a First Round pick though. Would you guys move Wes or Nic for a 10-20 pick? I wouldn't. You know RoLo, Dame, and LA are all off the table. Mo's a free agent. Dorell as well. So we're basically asking a team to take a fringe rotation player for a pick they've been coveting for years? I do believe we will get a pick, but I bet it's another future 2nd type of move.

    There will be plenty of time to talk about the draft after we win the Championship. :ghoti:

    Eyes on the prize, people!

    Mrs Kidd-Gilchrist for a 2nd rounder. Get it done, Neil.

    I have to wonder what if anything we could get for Leonard?

    I would toy around with the idea of trading Wes and seeing what his value is. You can't just shut the door and say no flat out.

    Honestly, everyone but Damian, LaMarcus, Robin, and maybe Nico.

    Would any team give us 2 #2s for Alan Crabbe?

    If I'm Olshey I have my eyes on Andrew Wiggins. It never hurts to try! Dream Big!!

    BGG, why specifically Wiggins? He isn't even the best player in this draft.

    If you have to ask and throw out a few names then that proves my point right there.

    To answer, Emiid and Parker is neck and neck with Wiggins. Really the best spot in this draft is probably #3. Kind of like I hoped we would have got #2 in the Oden draft so the decision was made for us.

    If Wes generated us a top 10-20 pick in this draft... I'd have to consider it. We would be looking at guys like Aaron Gordon, Zach LaVine, Nik Stauskas, Cleanthony Early, Shabazz Napier, Willie Cauley-Stein, Tyler Ennis, James Young, etc.

    If we are thinking about the future and saving money for a good FA right now it would be hard to pass on.

    Only if it was really 10 and not closer to 20.
