We got the #3 pick. Discuss the possibilities.

I could see that happening if he has an awesome interview and workout. Then use Ant / #23 to go get DeMar DeRozan and draft pick reconciliation. Then you have access to future picks to potentially make a big move at the trade deadline to add even more.

 

They've met with Amen/Ausar at the combine, but did not with Scoot or Miller.

 

I think Miller is going to be incredible. His shot his awesome, and at 6'9, hard to disrupt it. Add that he has good handles and can defend. Don't want to predict greatness from him, but I have a hard time not seeing him being incredible, even better than first year Sharpe. Shooting and defending always gets you on the court early.

 

I kinda wanted them to separate the twins.

 

Just remember, defense against fellow one & doners is NOTHING like defending against the best in the world every night. Not even close. I hope he is great, but chances are , at best, he's just decent next season.

 

If we have Sharpe at SG, draft Miller to play SF and potentially re-sign Grant to play PF, why get DeRozan? I'd say we don't have a need for him really, nor Grant. We would need a rebounding/defending PF. A good role player. Doesn't need a lot of shots. Buck Williams type.

 

Why. Not that they would ever do it, but you know for sure if Amen's shot is getting better with work, and it's not his brother filling in. Identical Twins have been noted to fill in for one another once in awhile .

 

Actually you do want DeRozan. He has a great mid range game, can defend , and gets to the free throw line a ton. Sharpe could then focus on being an impact 6th man. DeRozan strengthens the lineup.

 

Nurk, Miller, Grant, DeRozan, and Dame has potential to be awesome. Then you have a potential star + in the making as your 6th man in Sharpe.

 

And you can add at the trade deadline for the stretch drive because you've unlocked those picks.

 

They've been together at every level. I feel like Ausar has been undervalued and skills diminished due to playing with Amen, in regards to ball handling and play making.

I'm not too high on either of these guys but still would have liked to evaluate them individually.

 

Maybe we're trying to get both of them

 

You forgot Kawhi and PG13

 

You know what, i'm just gonna chill. In Schmitz i trust

 

well, the current and past CBA's forbid TPE's from being combined with players in trades. I don't think that's changed in the new CBA but I may be wrong

 

There seems to be a lot of questions about his athleticism and finishing at the rim. Many question his ceiling. Even if his ceiling as an offensive player is questionable, I like that he's already pretty good defensively and has good passing ability. Adding his size to this team should be a good thing.

 

Can it be combined with a pick though?

 

Even if it can, not sure how it helps with the Brown trade. You still need to match salaries.

 

If they want to dump Gallo, we can eat Gallo's contract in a separate deal.
