    Bulls aren’t trading that pick away. The only way Suns could get him is if he falls to around 12-13 and is available with Clippers pick. Nobody is moving out of top 10.

    I think Trae goes to Orlando. They badly need a point guard and he could start from the from the go.

    I meant for the #1 pick. They'd trade it for the #1 pick, fo sho. (It's the SUNS who wouldn't do that.)

    That's what people seem to think, but it seems a shame. Orlando is such a shambles of an organization now and he BELONGS in Phoenix.

    He's my second favorite Euro in this draft after Doncic.

    If everyone can shoot threes, why are they still worth three points?

    I love watching prospects but feel like I’m wasting my time this year. I’d be surprised if we kept the pick. Same feeling I had in 2015. I remember hoping we’d hold onto RHJ but when we didn’t I wasn’t surprised.

    I feel the same. Seems like Neil made it pretty clear that it was for sale.

    ESPN mock on right now had us taking Chandler Hutchison (Boise st) at 24.

    I don’t follow college basketball. Opinions? Woj says Hutchison has shut down his draft process. Not meeting with anymore teams/workouts, etc. Says Hutchison has been promised by a team in the 20’s that they’d take him if there. Said it could be Portland

    I think our main moves this offseason will come on draft night. The TPE has the most value to Portland if it’s used to collect draft picks. I know the league is trying to dump money but outside of a Courtney Lee I just can’t see any contract worth taking on, and even that one is questionable. We’d be much better served collecting another first and using it in a package for a player or better prospect. Not sure we even use the MLE. I think that’s dependent on what they get done in trades.

    It's still fun to analyze who you think will turn out good but yeah last year with 3 picks was awesome.

    Agreed. In the 2015 draft thread that was bumped, I think I saw a quote from olshey talking about it as an asset, and it sounded similar to his comments this year
