    Robert Williams is my 1b to Smith.

    His defensive awareness + his size: 6'9" with a 7'6" wingspan (!)

    or
    D. Musa

    I like Hutchinson, but think he will be gone by 24

    Musa is my plan B because he has the potential to be a terrific 6th man -- a pure scorer.

    Plan C: Anfernee Simons
    Plan D: Aaron Holiday

    Also: we will buy a second round pick and take another of the players that worked out for us.

    That's who I think NO is targeting too.

    Unfortunately, there appears to be 5-6 other guys that I view as much better prospects. I'm preparing myself to be very disappointed....

    Let’s see if anyone gets it right.

    I’ll play. This trade definitely isn’t happening but I think it’d make sense for both sides.

    One trade, split into two.

    We trade the Crabbe TPE to Washington for Gortat. Then we trade Harkless, Leonard, and #24 for Otto Porter.

    Another option would be to do the Faried deal and package 14 and 24 (along with Hark and Leonard) for Porter.

    Another option with Wash would be 24 and Vonleh TPE for Oubre.

    I just like Washington as a trade partner. They have two wings I’d love to have.

    They draft another white guy at 24 who sits on the bench next year.

    Any idea what pieces? Hopefully not CJ or ZC.

    Blazers read the calendar wrong, fail to make a draft selection.

    I really wonder who the fuck Neil is targeting, assuming it’s a veteran in exchange for the pick. Courtney Lee seems too...obvious. There’s got to be someone out there we haven’t talked about yet.

    Donte DiVincenzo is rising on my board - however, his stock continues to rise.

    I think PHX takes him at #16 or San Antonio takes him at #18.

    Musa is the smartest choice to make at #24.

    That only happens when a GM is told he's being fired on the day of the draft.
    (Wait, nevermind...that's how you end up with Luke Babbitt and Armon Johnson)

    We are obviously gonna draft Ethan Happ. 6’10 white guy that can’t shoot and not do much else? Olshey’s trousers got real tight.

    If we keep the pick, I agree.

    Don’t think we keep the pick though. Somethings gonna go down.

    You should be. Great defender, very good 3pt shooter, some ability off the bounce...

    Yeah I know about him, if you search I called him getting picked by us around the all-star game. My point is we are no closer to the second round with Thomas as our main acquisition this offseason.

    My hope for the draft is that CJ goes to Dallas for the 5th pick and we draft Doncic. They absorb his salary so we cut salary and imo get the better player eventually. Then send 24 and TPE to Den for 14/KF and draft Zhaire.

    Nurk
    Collins
    Doncic
    Zhaire
    Dame

    I’ll take that...
