2024 NBA Draft Thread

For the #4 pick? Even in a weak draft....Garland isn't worth that.

LOL.

Are you shitting us?

That is who they most likely could get.

NO could be very interested in Allen, a player to make salaries work and a future pick.

I would assume it would be a Garland/BI trade.

They have a need a center and PG. I would rather keep Allen but the Pelicans had a ton of interest in him for years. I still believe in Mobley/Allen combo but if that happens Garland or Mitchell is gone.

You mean the Braves, Angels, and Hawks 'fan'? I'm still skeptical.

Does this movie have any sweaty Delonte West scenes?


Asking for DJ.

Delonte West, Chris Paul, Drake, Adel, Shareef Abdul Rahim, Adam’s Sanogo, Gabe York, Isaiah Collier and Sebastian Telfair

You can't be serious. Garland is way more valuable than a top 5 in a shit draft.

No he isn’t.

The problem is money.

You have to pay Garland a lot more than the #4 pick. And the 4 pick provides upside that Garland doesn’t.

In many years you’d have a point. Nit this year. This year you’re likely to sign up for an over drafted role player that has a good chance of either being a bust or worse case scenario it works out and because of draft position you are overpaying a role player.

Still more valuable because of money though.

You trade for Garland, you have to pay him.

Right. Good players are going to cost money. Why do you want to overpay a lesser player? That’s the BEST case scenario for the number 4 pick in a draft that is putrid at the top of the draft.

Who gives a shit. Most of the teams who are picking high have money to spend and FA is usually a dud.
A draft pick is still a crapshoot especially in this bad class.
Garland is already an established player in league. Coming off back to back seasons before the injury riddled season averaging 21 and 8. 40% from 3 and 90% from FT line. How many guys are doing that? Not many.
PG's and wings are very valuable in this league.
A top 5 pick isn't enough for Garland in this draft, plain and simple.

He's already paid and in 2-3 years if he puts up the numbers he did before this last year that is more than worth it. The contract will actually look like a bargain.

If there were sure picks in this draft I would agree but that isn't the case. This class sucks.

Yeah.

I just don't see Pop wanting to trade for a PG that makes that much.

To make the salaries work....it would be Keldon Johnson and Zach Collins plus the #4 pick.

That is too much for Garland who is coming off a season where he averaged 18ppg and 6.5apg. plus, he is injury prone.

Probably like 50 mill in a few years and that is no bargain for what he provides.

Woj pointed out today a lot of 1st rounder's (outside the lottery selections) spend a lot of time in the G-League. In regards to Bronny.

Cmon man.

Cleveland comes to SA with that deal?

They say no.

Reverse?

Cleveland says yes.

Not going to happen.
