Draft Lottery

Kid has some finesse moves but I don't see him being a game changer, doubt he ever puts on a lot of weight and becomes a real post presence.

AK47 or Porzingis

Nah AK was a great defender inside, and out. I’m thinking a shot blocking Detlef Shrempf lol

Who do the Pels take?

What will Portland send along with the 7th pick to match salaries?

Ummmm, nothing?

Bledsoe's 4 mil guarantee for shits and giggles?

If they sent Bled, they could get Grant and Keep Hart.




Portland already traded Norman Powell and Robert Covington to the Clippers. This deal supplements the Trail Blazers’ pivot into new direction. With Lillard injured and now looking increasingly likely to miss the rest of the season, Portland is accepting a lost year.

The Trail Blazers are now armed with the potential of a projected $30 million in cap space and two lottery picks – useful tools for building back up around Lillard.


The Trail Blazers’ cap-space projection includes a cap hold for Anfernee Simons, whom they almost certainly want to keep in restricted free agency. The projection also includes waiving and stretching Eric Bledsoe (who has just a $3.9 million guarantee) and waiving Josh Hart (whose $12.96 million salary is unguaranteed). However, if nobody worth that much cap space is available, Portland could keep Hart, a gritty defensive wing and sometimes-capable 3-point shooter.

If Sharpe falls to them, they should pull the trigger. Only problem is he’s kind of a project.

He’s barely turning 19 in two weeks…

The league already gave up on the Pistons giving them 5.

If Ivey somehow falls to them @ 5, that’s a dangerous backcourt in the future.

Doubt it happens, just feel kinda bad for the Stones lol

One of the analysts had him going 5th.

Saw that. Also saw Keegan Murray to the Pels at 8 on a couple sites. I need to watch more film on Murray.

Houston goes with Banchero if Orlando takes Smith and OKC takes Holmgren.

 

[DJ]

Ewwww...lol

I don't think he'll be very good IMO.

Saw him going to the Pacers at #6.

That would be a pretty filthy Sabonis replacement.

Paulo reminds me of Randle at best, John Wallace at worst.

Could be me shitting on him because he comes from Duke.

But, they bust a ton.

Probably because so many get drafted, but still.

Keep seeing Juwan Howard as a comp.

That fits too, I guess.

Is Blake Wesley.....David Wesley's son?

I like Banchero better as a pro than Holgmgren.

Doubt the Knicks find their PG at 11.

 

[thunderc]

Ewwww...lol

Yea stupidest fn comparison I’ve ever seen

 

[UK Cowboy]

Jabari Smith is the best player in this draft followed by Sharpe
