No way.
Plus, why would I want to go to the NBA? Duke players suck in the pros.

Jerome Robinson is a last resort or trade down target for me. There's no way I'm taking him over any of those three guys.

He shouldnt be an option. Hes the exact kind of player we have ten fold of.

I don't think the ESPN guys have even given a small amount of thought about the composition of the team's roster when mocking Trae Young & Robinson. Why would they take 2 undersized poor defending guards together? They also are consistently down on Miles Bridges. He's worked out for teams 7 - 13 only.

I'd do 13, Gallo for 19, 30 and their second rounder. But then its like we traded Gallo and the 13th pick for the 19th pick

dealing for the pick we shouldn't have included in the Gallo deal anyway.

Perfect.

How do you feel about that?

Schroder is negative value for me, they'd have to pay a bunch more for us to take him if it was up to me. They probably don't see it that way, so it'll hopefully be a red line. Doesn't strike me as a Jerry West kind of player either.

Yeah, hopefully there's no truth to it, but to be honest at this stage in the draft process, Givony tends to be accurate with rumours of teams interested in specific guys, so I'd think there has to be at least some interest for them to put him there.

I know that's not what they're trying to do, but I'd eat Parsons' contract if it got us to #4, whether Doncic is there or not. I hope they have some specific plans for next year's free agency, cause being so adamant in not accepting salary past that day is costing us valuable assets.

Translation: they want the teams who are trying to get Doncic to start talking trades with them, not Memphis.

I don’t think the Clippers have enough to get to 3. If the Hawks are trying to unload Schroeder, would this do it?

If MPJ or Carter or Miles are available at #9 would you trade #12 and #13 to move up?

Clips are trying to move higher for Doncic, JJJ according to rumors. #9 12 13 are same tier. U have seen guys like Knox, Walker, SGA, Sexton, Miles fluid in that range.
