    Not a markkanen fan but would be surprised if Stotts felt the same.

    Shoots '3's and doesn't play defense? Right up Stott's alley.

    What I read said he's got handles...can create his shot...shoot from deep and finish at the rim..he's a big guy with quickness they say...don't know about defense but few rookies figure that out first year..also said he's got a lightining quick release

    I think Isaac is going 4th.

    The goal should be to get #6. That way, we'd have the choice of Jayson Tatum, Josh Jackson, or Johnathan Isaac (assuming Lonzo Ball goes top 3 and De'Aaron Fox goes 5th to Sacremento).

    Orlando has #6, #25, #33, and #35, so it'll be hard to see a deal developing. I'd be willing to take on Biyombo as a backup C to help sway ORL (they'd probably like to dump his contract).

    So maybe something like #15, #20, #26, Harkless, and Ezeli for #6, #35, and Biyombo.

    Would you guys do that? Do you think Orlando would do it?

    So because Harkless might not want to go back you wouldn't do the deal? Lol.

    They wouldn't want to....insert Leonard for the same money and it's a good deal...they could keep Biyombo and send the dunk guy

    If Tatum is there at 6 I think Orlando would be doing backflips. They're starving for a scorer like that. I don't like Jackson. I guess what I'm saying is if Isaac is gone and Orlando wouldn't let Tatum go, I'd probably pass on moving up.

    They'd want Harkless much more than they'd want Leonard.

    Gordon is one of their building blocks. They wouldn't even trade him for #15 and #20. They don't want Biyombo's contract.

    That's sort of the point....Mo was one of their developing guys too...they dropped him like a hot potato...Orlando is not a very savvy franchise from my view.

    How do you know who their building block is? They might not be sold on any of their guys. It's a new front office. Gordon is good but he wouldn't be untouchable if I were in charge. He's nothing special really.

    Portland is targetting Issac. They are swinging for the fences

    I saw a mock with Tatum dropping to 7 I want that to happen so bad.... I didnt think it could happen I thought he would be a top 5 lock but if him or Isaac drop you gotta make a push to get one of them.

    It is going to be funny how many teams will make misguided desperation moves after watching what The Warriors did in the finals. I think a lot of teams are going to really regret it for years to come. I certainly hope we aren't one of them.

    I believe it. Olshey has always been aggressive, even when he had no ammo. I expect Portland to end up in the lottery.

    Usually this close to the draft you'd hear some scuttlebutt about who Neil likes.

    We were linked to both Lillard and CJ weeks before the draft.
