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%

    Came up in the Dame interview yesterday and Dame just brushed it aside.

    I'd want Eason.

    #3 -> #4 + BKN '24 + Eason

    Agreed, that original proposal is a little light, for me… looks a little too much like another Martell Webster trade.

    And we'd have to have a stark preference for Amen vs Brandon Miller.

    I’m holding out hope CHA picks Miller. The additional player(s) we can get to trade down between #4-6 is enticing enough to consider imo.

    Eason
    Duren
    Wagner

    Brutal honesty by Nurk that didn't need to be said.

    I think it needs to be said because people just aren't getting it.

    Dame wants to win now. He wants the team to go out and get the pieces necessary to win now. If the team can't or won't do that, Dame has said that they will have "a different conversation."

    Draft Scoot. Trade Dame. Sign CP3. Have CP3 mentor Scoot!

    Chris Paul is probably already a Laker at this point.

    keep Dame...draft Miller...tell Chris Paul to flop and get injured somewhere else. By the way, Dame as Scoot's mentor would be about 5 times better than CP3

    pick 3 for Franz and pick 6. Select Walker at 6. Trade Ant, Nurk and pick 23 (plus a future first if needed) to the Suns for Ayton and Payne. Select BPA at 43. Re-sign Matisse and Jerami. Sign a backup big with the TPMLE.

    Nine man rotation: Dame, Shaedon, Franz, Jerami, Ayton, Walker, Matisse, Payne and TPMLE backup big.

    Dame will love playing here with his only purpose of training his replacement while having no hope AT ALL for success

    Read on a Clippers article that they might consider the 3rd pick for Paul George ...the guy everybody hopes Williams will turn out to be although they said the Clips would prefer Scoot at the 3 spot..
