Not many trades so far..

I like a Hali/Mathurin core. Especially if they can get a big early next draft.

Mathurin to Pacers.. I would have gone with Sharpe

[basketballwacko2]

Perk compares Mathurin to OG Angimogie?

Things can always change, but Indiana has IIRC generally shied away from high-variance guys and gone with players with better floors. This doesn't surprise me much tbh.

As should have been expected. Portland was the most likely to be the first team to deal their pick. But it might be Charlotte when it comes down to it.

Does this take pistons out of brunson sweepstake?

Knicks may go hard for Ivey. He's such a Thibs guy and I don't like the Cade/Bey fit. They need an on-ball defender as a guard somewhere

Yeah this isn't over I feel like.

Well surely Sharpe won't fall much more, he should have been pick 4 IMO

I still think Detroit could trade Ivey but are fine keeping him too.

But yeah I bet it's a lot of mid round and down small-ish type deals.

I don’t like this comp, but at least he’s sticking to a player from this millennia.

“Michael Beasley?” “Shareef Abdur-Rahim?”

I hope the majority of the ESPN audience knows who these guys are.

Based on what exactly

[Dadouv47]

Damn Presti, had to send a bag of picks for Sharpe.

[Laimbeer]

I do think that leads Detroit away from aggressively pursuing Brunson/another lead guard.

I hope you,re right.

This makes me realize why I stopped watching anything but live sports on ESPN.

Interesting choice for Portland. I'm having sweat drops now

Sharpe pick leads me to believe he's getting dealt.

High School Ranking Index data.

Average pick for a guy who goes #1 in HS is #3.5. So independent of all analysis in college, that's usually where a HS #1 gets picked on average. None of the other guys outside of 3 have the upside IMO besdes Dieng.

[MoneyTalks41890]

They would announce the trade before the pick right? Or no?

Reports are your Knicks are still trying to acquire him. Weaver is an imbecile, but I don't think the Kicks have anything to offer for him
