2019 NBA Lottery And Draft

[Shanemansj13]

@WiggyRuss saw one draft trade where the Hornets get J.R. Smith and the Cavs get Marvin Williams and the 12th. Then they take Kevin Porter Jr. with that pick. I hope the Cavs pull off something like this. They could get more than this actually though.

You’re getting a free lottery pick.

Just don’t waste it on the bad porter lol

Knicks bringing in Darius Garland Wednesday for a last minute workout. This has caused many to speculate that Barrett to the Knicks might not be a done deal at #3 and the Knicks would actually draft Garland.

But it got me thinking. Might this be indicative that the Pels and Knicks have a trade in place to swap picks? We know the Pels have been trying to move #4. The Knicks recently declined #8 and #10 making you think they are still locked in on Barrett but they might actually think there aren't good enough players later to justify dropping down. But dropping to #4 could be worth it. So maybe the Pels thinking they can't get a vet they want, but instead use #4 and either a player or one of those other many future Lakers pick to move up to take Barrett at 3 and the Knicks will take Garland at 4.

Regardless, I think something is up. It's somewhat unusual to work out a player this late, especially when a team has long rumored to been locked in on a different player.

I think your second paragraph is what’s going on.

I’m hoping Boston takes a swing at Dennis Smith jr. so much talent, needs Brad to reign him in.

Yeah not sure who I like at 12 if they make that trade, depends who is there

Teams like CLE should swing forbhe fences with guys like Bol Bol.

I think Romeo Langford could be a steal. If he shut it down like garland I think he’d be going higher.

Idk how you shoot with a torn ligament in Your shooting thumb.

@Shanemansj13 and knowing hte CAvs...i doubt they take him.

I think they will take a guy who is a hardworker that loves the game foremost. Thats why i doubt its reddish. I think itll be culver or hunter if they stay at 5. i think the garland rumors are a smoke screen to try and get a team to trade up if he is not taken at 4.

I hope it’s Culver but with this talk about N.O. shopping the #4 it could be the Hawks who love Culver

Getting the 12th and using it on Porter makes no sense.

Beilein loves Hunter supposedly and I can see why. Hard worker, plays defense, etc. Lets see if Gilbert likes him as much as he does. I just think either way Culver will be gone unless they get lucky.

I could see culver at 5.

At 12 you gotta take a hr swing.

Guys like hunter are kind of a waste for a rebuilding team like cle.

sounds like teams really want to trade up for Garland though too

i think you are right and the hawks want culver, but teams like the bulls, and suns all want garland...others too...itll be interesting to see

either way- based upon the momentum, if the Cavs stay at 5 it sure seems like Culver or Garland have morphed into the fairly consensus 4 and 5 on the board.

the french kid is a homer run swing. bol bol is a home run swing

i kind of like Nassir Little as a home run swing too....

CAm Johnson is the opposite--- should be a solid stretch 4 - low ceiling but high floor if you catch my drift.

 

[WiggyRuss]

My Big Board looks like:

1. Zion
2. JA
3. Barrett
4. Garland
5. Culver
6. Hunter
7. Reddish
8. White
9. Sekou
10. Hayes
11. Clarke
12. Little
13. LAngford
14. Biadze
15. Porter Jr.

It's become sad.

The draft has just become a way to use bargaining chips to build your super team...

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yeah not sure who I like at 12 if they make that trade, depends who is there

Sekou, Clarke and Little would be the guys I would ahve the most interest in.

No Hachimura on your big board? He's an interesting prospect to me. Bit of a tweener, but those are a commodity these days. Also think he has lots of room for growth. What I like most is his aggressiveness on offense. He's not scared of contact and he's getting better on the perimeter. Ball skills though could use some work.

Hawks Trade 44th Pick To Heat

The Hawks have traded one of their six selections in tomorrow night’s draft, sending pick No. 44 to the Heat in exchange for a future conditional second-round pick, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Huge move lol

I was hoping Boston would buy one. This team needs a few late swings at finding a second round steal

We thought Jordan Bell was a second round steal. Not so much
