If the Magic wanna toss us #12 to move up one spot I'd take it. Otherwise no
no offense but you are everything that's wrong with America

If Parker is there at 3, the Jazz would be prime candidates to trade with, but what do they have to offer? 3 and 55 for 5, 23 and 35?


That would not make me happy. We don't need more picks in this draft. If we go from 3 to 5 (which I still wouldn't want to do), I'd demand an unprotected first next year.


Sorry, I meant to respond to JFL. I'm not looking to trade back either unless Hinkie believes Vonleh is straight up better than Parker anyway and you might as well try to get more value if you can. Maybe you can package 23 and some 2nds later on to move up into the teens.


I'm not a fan. If you have a guy you like, take him at 3. You shoot yourself in the foot if you try to get fancy by trading back, your guy gets taken at 4, and then you're left with the 23rd pick as a consolation.

True, but cute was the way to go in a weak draft.

That's pretty much what i did because I thought they still put the original teams logo on there.



yeah me too


The Charlotte Hornets logo turning up threw me for a loop before I remembered they were a team again.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

Looking forward to the Crocodile Dundee/Space Jam mashup remake starring Dante Exum.

Having the #3 will at least make draft night a ton more interesting. I could see Hinkie trading back or taking a player no one expected.

Why?


Assuming his back his okay, Embiid's ceiling is outrageous. The guy played volleyball until sixteen when he started playing basketball. And he already looks fluid out there... And I just don't trust Wiggins. He just seems to float around out there too much for my liking. They can coach him up, but he just isn't aggressive enough out there for my liking.
