    Explain his love for Winslow then. You don’t think he’s gonna play? Lol. He was also a fan of Dunn.

    I think I like Johnny Davis's fit with this team more than Dyson Daniels.

    With Ant and Dame, you aren't going to be a heavy switch team and I think Johnny is the best screen navigator in the draft.

    Offensively, he's more dynamic in the half court. Trust him to shoot it a little more and I like how his game translates to attacking with an advantage after an initial action which he really wasn't able to do at Wisconsin.

    I also just want to see Dyson on a team that runs more and has more opportunity for on ball reps. I really do like him as a player and want him to find the best development opportunity.

    Sharpe is working out today with Charlotte.

    They have 13 and 15.

    Hmm.

    i don't think you're gonna be able to get that much. I'd settle for 13 + 15 tbh.

    I don’t agree with you, but I can see where you’re coming from. I like Daniels ability to guard 1-4 better. He’s just as good at navigating screen in my opinion. What give him an edge is that he can play the 3 right away. Davis is a combo guard to me

    Likely right. I'd try for 1 prospect with the pick swap, preferably. Kai, pj, McDaniels, bouknight.

    If as the unnamed insider suggested that the Hawks would take Bledsoe and 7 for Collins, I think you have to do that.

    the 7th and Bledsoe for Collins? yeah....I'd prefer to get Collins and the 16th pick for Bledsoe and 7. But if not I'd probably still do that trade. Sure would be a lot better than 7 for Grant

    I’d think about it. Collins has really improved, especially defensively. But man giving up a top 10 pick for non stars, idk. Wish there was a list of past draft day trades involving top 10 picks and vets.

    I'd want that 16th pick or I wouldn't do it. So I would go as far as 7, 36 and Bledsoe for Collins and 16 but I wouldn't do Bledsoe and 7 for just Collins.

    Thats a trade I would do, decent contract near 100 mil next 4 years, only 24, better than Grant IMO and likely cheaper

    Which combos do we like most for our starting forwards?

    Collins/Grant
    Grant/Randle
    OG/Grant

    I think it's the last for me. Collins and Grant is pretty interesting too.

    I actually think that OG and Grant lack rebounding. So Collins/Grant would be a good forward combo to come out of this offseason with. OG/Collins would be the best if it was at all possible.

    I agree it's a bit light on rebounding but it would be the best perimiter defense. Pick your poison.

    I didn't list the OG/Collins combo because it isn't possible.

    Grant is being severely underrated here. He would be a great fit with what we currently have. As long as he stays #4 or #5 option.

    That's true. It'll be interesting to see what the starting lineup is to start next season.
    Winslow was all about passing and defense. He and Nurk were really on the same wavelength.
