    Is there any way we can get into mid 20’s to late first round to get Jalen Johnson if he slips that far? Seeing Nassir’s development after slipping to us on draft night and seeing Michael Porter Jr’s success after slipping farther than where he was projected makes me really want to go find a guy like that in this draft.

    Jalen Johnson still has that leaving-Duke-early thing over his head (non-issue for me) which could make him slip along with the whole thing with him transferring in his senior year. But he’s a solid 6’8, looks big/fast enough to guard both forward positions and is athletic enough to play defense at an elite level. I have trust in our developmental system—in Portland, I would have almost no doubt that he’ll develop a 3 point shot.

    Nassir/Johnson at the forward spots for the future.

    I noticed that. Watching late tourney games (didn't watch any college hoops to speak of this year), I thought he looked interesting as a late 1st round sleeper. Then I checked NBAdraft.net, to see where they ranked players I might now recognize, and my gut feeling that the quality of this year's draft class is greatly overrated was suddenly magnified. Top-10 for an energy/role player??

    I didn't like giving up this year's pick in the supposedly loaded class (RoCo trade), but I'm feeling better about that now.

    Terrence Clarke, a projected first/early 2nd, was just killed in a car accident in California.

    RIP

    Sounds like he was speeding and ran a red light. Damn life is so precious.

    If that's the case, my concern is entirely the well-being of whomever was going through the intersection legally.

    I would love to get Jalen Johnson. He would be such a great fit next to Little. I think it will take at least top 15 pick to get him. As we get closer and closer to the draft, teams will ignore his decision to leave early and look at his potential and ability to play in a role right away

    Who is available in the #12-14 range. That is looking more viable by the day.

    Jalen Johnson, Kisert, Kai Jones, Ziare Williams, Wagner, Josh giddey, and Usman Garuba. So a good draft to be in that range to get a good wing

    • Trade CJ for un upgrade at PF.
    • Re-sign Powell
    • DO NOT UNDER ANY FREAKING CIRCUMSTANCES re-sign Melo.
    • Draft a long/lengthy talented wing
    • Hire a new coach....

    ....and watch this team start to do things.

    Amen. I really like the idea of trading CJ for Harris. I bet we could also get a 1st too

    Highly doubt that....
    I highly doubt that 6ers would even do CJ/Harris straight across.
    All that is wishful thinking on your part
