I just don't see them doing it, basically. I can see 1 as a developmental flyer 12th man. But if they want to take a small step forward even, I imagine they'll want a slightly better bench than Blanton, Walker, Reath, Rupert, etc. And a rookie isn't going to change that much. But, I always like the draft, bad or good draft, so 2 tries versus 1 is always more fun.
I'm a big Ace Bailey fan so I would do this no problem. Would you do it and would the Bucks and Sixers do it?
If we got the 3rd pick, absolutely. I think the Blazers are the only team that would take on Dame's contract, knowing he might never be the same again.
I actually meant for pick 11 to go to Philly. I think as bad as PG13 was last season he is at least a star player who isn't injured to pair with Giannis.
Yeah, for the Bucks to get out of Dame's deal and pick up a George is a win. They are both 35, but Dame is not playing next year. Philly is the one who needs the incentive on that deal, so #11 is needed. But I doubt they would do it.
And getting rid of PG's contract. I don't know if Ant makes much sense for the them so but I think he has value so maybe they'd turn around and flip him.
And #11, which in their mind (since they are obviously not too excited with anyone at 3) might be just as good.
They certainly should. But maybe Morey is under pressure to build around Embiid now. It seems like everyone at 3 is at least a couple of years away from being playoff-ready.
I'd totally do it. Removing the two biggest chuckers on the team for either Ace Bailey or VJ Edgecomb and a great mentor for Scoot.
Yeah duh of course we do it. Every team in the league would take #3 over Ant or Grant. Laughable homer trade idea.
I've seen plenty with them trying to move up to 2. I don't buy they want to move out of the draft or substantially down the boards.
While taking on Paul George and arguably the worst contract in the league? I bet you it's a lot closer than you know.
Houston: Durant Phoenix: Simons, Grant, 10 Blazers: Smith Jr., Brooks If they really want Jabari as much as they seem to... Real GM says it works.
