It's a four man draft so any of them would be fine. 

Mobley would solve our back up 5 for 4 years.

You might need to go watch some Mobley tape because he is a Chris Bosh clone. 

More like say bye to Harris.

If we have to add Maxey to that deal to make it happen, do you still pull the trigger?  I say yes.  I would try to give them Shake first.

Probably not.  It's fair as is. If they want a prospect like Joe for some reason,  fine.  But no reason to add on our best young player. That's too big an ask.

If they wanted Maxey instead of 28... maybe I'd eventually give in on that one to get the deal done.

Is it certain that suggs will be there at 4?

It seems certain. It seems possible he may even be there at 4, 5, 6 even.  Unless someone trades up targeting him.

How is he possibly there at 6.

Top Tier is Mobley, Cade, Green, Suggs

Next is Barnes by himself

Been some chatter.  Maybe it's some screen. But some teams are said to like Barnes ahead of him,  and even boatknight(sp?).

Have also seen it be said that there are 3 picks in this draft,  that are 1st overall picks in many drafts.  Not 4. 3. That doesn't include suggs.  People have him a tier below,  and sometimes other guys are mixed in there. 

 

Draft day!

Prepared for a nothing burger today

You mean the chatter teams moving up to get Suggs. He isn't going 6th.

The Warriors have also explored whether the combination of 7 and 14 could get them up a few spots in the draft. Their target? Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs.

No.  I mean the chatter that I posted about and then elaborated on. 

[NBA Central] "It has to be a Harden-esque type package” - Adrian Wojnarowski on Philadelphia’s asking price for Ben Simmons

Morey is going to pull off some samurai ish, just watch

If we are getting low balled for Ben, hold onto him for a couple months longer.  After the draft and main free agents are signed, he will be the big main fish left (besides Dame and Beal if they become available) and we will get closer value for our asking price or hopefully can use him to get Dame.

Draft day is here, and the expectation is that we’ll see unusually high trading activity given how many teams are trying to move up, move down or change their rosters.

Thus far, most of the attention has focused on what kind of offer the Thunder might make the Pistons to move up to No. 1 and select Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham, but that story has shifted in the last 24 hours. Now we’re hearing a lot more chatter about a Thunder-Cavs trade for the third position, which would allow Oklahoma City to select USC’s Evan Mobley.

What a combo of SGA and Mobley

I have to work in the office, and then stay after closing to help with another high school's physicals. Probably till about 7:30, and about an hour from home. Im pissed to me missing the start of the draft. 

But I would be so ecstatic if by the grace of god I see this notification on my phone tomorrow and this is the foshbomb that finally sticks. 

It works with the cap. It makes a ton of sense with our needs. 2 add those players and still the excitement of selecting Suggs. Im getting my hopes up too much for a fosh bomb. 

don't sweat it. our days of being jacked up about the draft are over. I don't think these teams research and work out these incoming players at the top of the draft for months just to night of trade out of those spots, for a diminishing value asset such as Ben. Maybe Morey trades out of 28 for future flexibility/assets down the road. But tonight from our perspective doesn't seem all that important. Ben will be there tomorrow, as will Beal and Lillard. Morey is looking for difference makers, not kids.

I was just kidding, sort of. But I looked it up and he can reply for re-instatement this summer. So.. we might actually see him become a free agent. 30 years old, on a vet min, I actually wouldnt mind kicking those tires.

Ehh, bringing in Tyreke Evans to play for the home town team so close to all his boys and bad influences doesn't seem like the best situation to me. Especially after a couple years removed from the league.

Don’t know much about Considerations. Can he at least shoot?

Brand always traded all of our 2nds for cash.  Morey knows how to win in the NBA. Do the opposite of Brand.

[Charania] Sources: The 76ers sent $2 million in cash to the Pelicans for the No. 53 pick. Begins to set the rate for purchasing a pick in tonight's NBA Draft.

Okay now do Ingram for Simmons. 

But NO might hate Simmons for being garbage at LSU
