Don't know if there's any truth to this but if so it can't be for the 4th pick unless Phx gave us at least 3 of their 4 first round picks and Chicago gave us both firsts and Taj. Even the I wouldn't be too thrilled. Article says it's most likely for the 12th pick tho

Charlotte should think about moving up a few spots to land Gordon, Gilchrist, the 9th and maybe even next years pick to get it done, then sign Stephenson

Jeff Goodman of ESPN reported—according to sources—Cleveland will not pick Wiggins or Parker, but instead Embiid if inspection of his formerly injured back waves no red flags (subscription needed). And Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reported no red flags were waved when Embiid worked out with the Bucks

love it.

 

[af.r.i.c.a.]

love it.

Yea that sucks for us tho. I was hoping Jabari and Wiggins would go 1 and 2 and the Sixers would have to choose between Embid and Dante. Wiggins and Parker are both no brainers for y'all. I guess our pick now comes down to Exum vs Smart. Can't lie I'm starting to like Smart more and more. Not mad basically having 2 Oladipos

Not sure who Memphis could get at 22, I know we definitely need someone who can score or shoot from the perimeter. I haven't been keeping up with many prospects, who should I look out for?

Hornets are in a good spot, I'd probably draft LaVine, if he's not there McDermott, and get GR3 at 20something. And get a few shooters like Morrow. They should use their cap space smartly. So maybe pass on trying to sign FA or RFA.

The real question is what to do with MKG, he's still young but with no jump-shot and little improvement, I'd have him come off the bench.

 

[MarcusGarvey]

Never mind with McDermott, just realized if LaVine gets picked before 9th then someone would fall to CHA.

 

[BDBIID]

I keep forgetting all about GR3. That's wild.

we're in a wack spot im hearin about Vonleh nd Smart for da most part, fuck dat Aaron Gordon dude he's all athleticism nd not much skill idk where i want us to go wit da 17th pick if TJ Warren from NC State is available i think he'd be a steal i love his scorin nd aggression on offense. BUT if we need to trade da picks for Love then im all in for it

Jordan Adams

PJ Harriston

TJ Warren

all three are big time scorers. I like PJ the most but I don't know if he falls that far.

Thsts why I think Charlotte would be a perfect fit for Gordon, they would need him for what he could give them right away which is defense and rebounding, there's no pressure on him to come in and be a 1st or 2nd option he can get buckets on the break, off 2nd chance opportunities and when he's matched up with inferior defenders, Al could use some help in the post he's not exactly a guy players fear on the defensive side of the ball, Gordon can develop his offense while making an impact on defense, rebounding and the transition game

I seen his scouting report nd Im not impressed dude is athletic yet struggles to finish in da paint, dude cant post, nd gets his shot tossed easy too cuz his arms are short hes trash

I like Tj Warren a lot. He would fit great on the Pistons, but we don't pick til 38. Smh, so my best hope is that Cleanthony Early falls to the 2nd round. Be a nice consolation pick.
