I want Gary Payton 2. He would replace Melton and later DB in many regards.

I prefer not to judge soldiers until I see them on the battlefield. Having said that, I can see the rationale behind all 4 picks. PS I want to highlight that, technically speaking, we got Jake AND Ken by trading #22 and 29, which should have looked good to any reasonable person before the draft.

It seems plausible

The Wood saga is over guys. Let’s move forward. Should we go after Vucevic with Adams + #29? Chicago would get some salary relief and draft a center rookie to replace Adams next year. We would get some solid offensive upgrade who can be flipped over for even a better price by the trade deadline.

I wouldn’t be surprised if our FO has been watching for the availability of Wendell Carter Jr.

What about going with a full-athletic frontcourt as follows: 1. Adams (to a 3d party) + Melton + 1st to HOU for Wood and Gordon 2. Brooks + 1st to DET for Grant We would then get a lob-dunk-block non-stop party from Ziaire, Clarke, Grant, JJJ, Wood.

Siakam is a real star in his prime. I believe he isn’t available even for DB + DC.

Ja is our icon

I see us targeting Siakam and Miles Bridges. The chances are fairly low, but both are worth trying. Our starting package would include 18m cap space + DB + Tillman + picks. Toronto will certainly ask to add Clarke.

I would too. Why would they “buy” such swap though…

In my view, #20 would cost us #29 + another late 1st. Is it worth to pay such a price for Liddel or J.Williams? I don’t know…

😂

To call the Lakers was a 2nd step. This idea didn’t go through the 1st stage - the internal approval process.

100%

I hope you are right

I concur. Mathurin and Griffin are the next elite wings like PG and Brown.

Dillon’s next contract is going to be close to 20m/y. Do you think we can afford it?

I have 2 questions for today: 1. Has David Roddy been already discussed? 2. What about trading DB for Agbaji if he falls out of top-20?

He can and likely be a decent NBA offensive weapon, but his inability to guard anything on the move scares me a bit. He might turn out a complete defensive liability. And even Ja is criticized here for that. That’s why I’d rather target Brown and Eason who are way more balanced players.

That’s what I mean. Meh in every respect.

What is the best part of Braun you are excited about? I’ll do my best to buy it.

Good point, but most teams will pick based on ceiling rather than floor.

Two main busts of the draft

JJJ >> Davis > Lebron in terms of trade value

Yes. But. What about becoming a top contender right away?
