    How well does Dort defend Curry?

    Hayward has to have negative value right? I can't imagine us taking Hayward and also swapping 7 for 13 + 15. Seems like we'd be bleeding value on both those moves.

    Interesting enough, people speak very highly of Krysten Peek from Yahoo sports, and she thinks the picks at 13 and 15 are Sochan and Mark Williams.

    I would actually be very happy with those picks.

    Bledsoe + Winslow for Hayward and one of their picks maybe? Cuts about 7 mil off their payroll this year and 30 mil the year after.

    she has also said Sharpe could be the best player in this draft and is one of the few people who has watched him in person. Her comp was a better shooting Edwards.

    I would definitely give up the 7 pick for Sochan and Williams

    Guess the player:

    Player A: 36 mpg, 55% TS, 17.1 pts, 5.5 rebs, 2.6 asts, 1.5 stl, 0.5 blk
    Player B: 32 mpg, 57% TS, 15.9 pts, 4.6 rebs, 3.6 asts, 1.0 stl,, 0.4 blk

    Player A played 43 and 48 games the last two seasons, respectively.
    Player B played 44 and 49 games the last two seasons, respectively.

    Not sure why you're comparing OG and Hayward. OG missed a bunch of games two years ago because the Raptors were tanking, like we did with Nurk and Ant this year. His TS dropped last year because he was dealing with a broken finger in his shooting hand.

    Beyond that, his biggest value is on the defensive end, where he's significantly better than Hayward. He's also 6 years younger and on a more reasonable contract. Yeah I get the offensive numbers, but we are still lacking wing defenders. It's also why I don't think Collins makes sense.

    if we are getting assets to take on Hayward, while we have to empty our coffers for OG, I think I prefer Gordon.

    Sure, but I don't actually think you get the 13th or 15th pick just to take on Hayward, regardless of what the "wiretap" says.

    Hard pass on Gordon. He sucks.

    Every acquisition we make from now on needs to focus on DEFENSE first and foremost while not being a complete 0 offensively.

    if it's 15 AND a future pick (really want one for next yr since ours is probably Chicago bound), we would have to seriously consider this. Looking through his numbers, his defense took a nosedive in Charlotte. Wonder how much of that has to do with his increased offensive load, but he's a fine ballast for 25-30 mpg if he comes with picks attached. That's a good way to maximize our flexibility that everyone here was hyping. Especially if we keep 7 also, I love having more shots on goal in the draft.
