*SportsHoopla NBA Mock Draft*

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Do LAC have any interest in trading their picks to move up and get some one specific?

No, I wouldn’t think so.
The safe pick at #10 is Miles Bridges.

In real life?

Yes, and I'm fucking sobbing.....

I love Tobias and he's as good as gone.

Sounds like they want Porter.

For this mock, I traded back already.

I gave up #12 for #16, 31 and 59.

I should be able to get some good rotation players at #13 and 16 and I will take a wild ass flyer on a raw prospect at #31 in hopes of finding a diamond in the rough.




The Clippers have made calls to several teams in the top 10, inquiring about the price tags to move up, league sources told The Athletic. Tobias Harris is a name to keep an eye on in those trade talks. Harris is entering the final year of his contract and will earn $14.8 million.

@Sparhawk

Do you guys need a Pf?

Miles is a bruiser. But, can he spread the floor?

I just don't see him as a 3.

I like TJ. But, Dude is a backup.

I don't trust Fultz.

I'd consider taking Sexton. He can't shoot either.

But, he could be Dearon Fox-lite.

I'd take Sexton or Knox.

Any interest in moving down from 31?

TJ will play 5-15 mpg. He's a backup.
Fultz is the riddle disguised as a puzzle wrapped in an enigma.

My pick would be all about toughness, defensive versatility, and hope they can shoot from the outside. Knox is kind of 'meh' to me. I'm hoping Mikal or Carter fall to #10 and maybe one of those #7-9 teams takes a flier on Sexton or picks Miles Bridges in order for that to happen. I would also consider trading down.

you realize you're on the clock right?

And post 1 shows who has already been drafted.

I already said Miles Bridges is the safe pick, but it's unclear if I am filling in for @flyerhawk or not....

@Shanemansj13

I will give you:

Oubre, Gortat and the 15

For Love

What are their salaries? @tlance

 

[Shanemansj13]

I will do the trade! @tlance

 

[shopson67]

The Charlotte Hornets trade Kemba Walker, Nic Batum, and the #55 pick to the Denver Nuggets for Jamal Murray, Wilson Chandler, Kenneth Faried, and the #14 and 43 picks.

 

[jontaejones]

I mean, a 4 seed after the turmoil they went through as a program isn't as dramatic of underperforming as you'd think, especially after that meltdown in the Bahamas losing 3 straight. They were playing dominant ball heading into the tourney, one off game is all it takes in March and unfortunately for them they just didn't bring it and Buffalo shot lights out. Shit happens. I agree he's far from a perfect prospects and he needs work defensively, but the perimeter isn't exactly where he struggled.

Check out this breakdown by Draft Express, they hit it on the head pretty much.

I highlighted his positives as well.

He's a beast on the boards. It's always difficult to translate college stats and wins/losses to the NBA. We'll see how he does. Big men have come through in recent years, with Cousins, Davis, Towns, and Embiid all doing well.

Nope.

I gave up #12 for that pick specifically.

Who has Denver?

....and how much crack did they have this morning?

@Arizona_Sting ....ruling?

I am. I’m going all in. Batum is underrated and walker is a legit star pg that I’m missing.

Batum's production should normalize if he returns to SF IMO.

 

[tlance]

Done!

 

[Shanemansj13]

Done!

If I looked at correctly the Cavs saved around $10 mil not counting the draft pick salary

I honestly didn't even look at Gortat's salary.

Wiz might have to add another contract to make that work.

Needs to be $19.3M coming to the Cavs to make it work. You need to include Satoransky (or Meeks or Smith, if they pick up their options).

 

[shopson67]

Can someone make a call on the Sixers pick? Its been about 20 hours already...
