I think the first 3 were pretty automatic. This pick boils down to whether or not Porter is deemed by doctors to be healthy enough. If Porter's injuries are truly behind him, he should be the pick. If the injury is lingering and/or causing concern for the future, JJJ should be the pick. I selected JJJ, as I am not sold on Porter's health.

Reason being, they are very old team and think they can trade the pick for a package of young assets and picks.

Like something with LAC with their 2 picks and Tobias or something

Boston, Rozier and some combo of the 1st rounders they have

Suns getting Chriss and Warren #16 Miami’s future pick


Would you do it for 7 and 22?

What about Saric and 10 for 4 if Jaren Jackson, Jr. is still on the board?

Jackson or Porter most likely in that scenario with Bagley gone. I think Bagley falls in their lap though and hes a Griz

Only if Mikal is available + #26. The rationale is 3 first-round picks for #4.

So Saric + 10 + 26 contingent on JJJ being there at 4 and Mikal Bridges being there at 10 is a go? Do you think the majority of the fanbase in Memphis would support this trade too? Saric has two more cost-controlled rookie years before RFA. Memphis could resign Evans and roll out Conley-Evans-Mikal Bridges-Dario Saric-Gasol.

I’m just convinced JJJ will be the best player in the draft and that someone will offer Saric the max or near max two seasons from now and the Sixers will not match that due to their roster construction at that point.

My approach is very subjective. You have already two A-level players in Simmons and Embid, whereas we have no one. So my logic is to get two AB-players and at least one B-level instead of putting all eggs into JJJ or Porter and leaving him without any serviceable teammate. Not to mention that the team will stay competitive for a longer period without neccessity to go for the period of hard rebuilding.

Bumping for more votes...it's currently a tie! JJJ or Porter? If you haven't voted yet, please settle this.

JJJ it is

I can also confidently say MPJ at 5 as well and Trae Young at 6 after this with Bamba at 7.

The real fun will resume at 8 i'd assume.

I think Doncic is over rated and well end up being the 4th or 5th pick.

No, I believe we're on pick 8 now.

Looking at the data, JJJ feels like a Memphis pick.
