Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Gotta take the shooter here.

Caveat though that if we're going to re-sign KCP no matter what than I take Kennard, but if we're potentially going to let KCP walk than I take Mitchell.

BPA seems to be Mitchell and he also happens to be a long athletic guard...which we lack.

Easy choice

I vote Kennard but tbh i don't know anything about any of these prospects and wont even look into them until they are drafted by the pistons.

This is my dream scenario with Collins and Markkanen off the board. Which means both of them will be there at 12 on draft night. :-?

Going with Donovan Mitchell here, not a fan of these other dudes on the board.

I can't wait to see the one or two surprise picks before the Pistons select at 12.

It will give some suspense as the pistons will have a chance to pick someone not expected to be available at that point but what SVG will do is the real wildcard.

I voted Kennard. Enough is enough, we need shooters. I'm intrigued by Mitchell, but he seems a little redundant with Jackson, and Kennard we can plug right in after Bullock leaves and he could probably make an impact right away.

I personally voted Mitchell because regardless of Kennards shooting, this isn't the type of team that can use a lottery pick on a player without more upside. To me Kennards ceiling simply isn't high enough and without doing more research Mitchell seems like the best option. The way the game is changing there is such a large emphasis on 2 way wings and guards that it seems to be worth gambling on that unless there's a far superior talent available.

kennard's game will fit in SVG's system better than mitchell take him at #12.

BPA almost always. That seems to be Mitchell even if he only pans out to be a good sixth man.

I'm surprised Kennard is getting this much love when in the Draft thread he was brushed aside pretty quickly
