Yes. It's one of the years that the Pels have the right to swap

We got TWO baby!

- Our 1st (pick swap with NOP)
- Portland's 2nd-rounder

We'll see if we hold on to the Portland pick or trade it but we should be able to add 1 decent guy with our 1st and if we keep the Portland add 2 decent guys as that should be in the early to mid 30s

Totally agree on Oso, perfect target with our 1st next June. The IQ, skill level and athleticism combo is just different. Very much like a big version of AJJ. No jump shot at all but his touch around the rim and floaters is great.

At Marquettes open practices the last couple weeks he looks like he has put on significant muscle this offseason as well. He's big enough now to play the 5 in the NBA.

we'll probably have 2 picks in the top 35

wonder if we could combine 'em and move up to the teens

even if he's clearly not an NBA-player, Bronny (projected to go around 20th) would be worth the chance Bron spends his last year or two or three making sure we are prohibitive title favorites and chasing Jordan's 6th ring as our 6th man lol

a Pick 28 and like 34.

Pretty big draft for the future

If we drafted Bronny, I'd tell LeBron he has to join us as a vet min with a team option for vet min in year two. Vindictive? Perhaps, but oh man that would be great.

Teens is probably optimistic but you never know, and Horst has done more with less.

Bucks need to keep both picks and take best player available for both picks

Could always end up picking in the late teens even without a trade up, due to load management/injuries/taking time to gel/letting the young guys take their lumps. Just need NOP to not be great, and I don't see it from them this year.

No, this sucks

The idea that it will give more time to 2nd rounders is nuts to me. Only hardest of the core will tune in; you won't get any 1st round run-off. Will be more obscure than ever, by a lot.

If it's a pointless change-just-for-the-sake-of-change that in no way will fix any of the real problems with the current NBA product, then you can bet it's at the very top of Adam Silver's agenda.
