Sweet, that explains the tweet that only 60 was included in the trade and why the mocks from this morning only show us with 60.

Pelicans at 24 are looking at Bolmaro as a draft and stash. Maybe they don't need 42 so much like we do.

I haven't dug deep, but I'm guessing that New Orleans can not roster all of their draft picks.

Edit: Looks like I was wrong. I'm seeing 9 players under contract, Darius Miller's cap hold (not sure what's going on there) and 4 picks including 42.

1.Bled
2.Hill
3.Redick
4.Zion
5.Ball
6.Hayes
7.Melli
8.NAW
9.Hart
10.Miller (NG'd)
11.Ingram(RFA) likely kept
12.13th pick
13.24th pick
14.39th pick

They probably just want to bring in some FAs, and more than 3 rookies on an already very young roster is a lot. Could see them consolidating some of these draft assets yet.

Don't tell any Estonians you just lumped them in with Latvians.

Now here's the bit that the mock drafts won't tell you- it's actually quite a love train ride down there from Sydney. It's about 2 hours, the second half of which works through a mountain range following the coast line and you can daydream out the window looking over treetops to the ocean. I'm sure that train ride has heavily influenced LaMelo's game style.

To expand on that a little more- the name Wollongong is derived from the language of the local indigenous people, and means 5 islands. 5 players on a basketball court. Islands. Isolation. Certainly interesting times ahead for the league.

Now RJ Hampton- did you know they pronounce "fish" as "fush" in New Zealand? Think about that.

Don't blame me, blame Jaak Salumets and Raimonds Vējonis!*

Read on Twitter

Further down someone asks about 42 - he says Bucks have NOT bought #42...I have no idea what to think

Feel like we might not actually be getting #42 and this was the pivot move.

We will enjoy it, most likely more than we should.

Yeah Bobby Marks just said that the Bucks do not have that pick.

Eric Nehm said we are buying the pick, so now I'm just confused.

You'd think he could provide an update or a confirmation pretty easily so the fact that he hasn't is what makes me think he was wrong.

My guess is that he heard we were buying a pick, so then it became 'oh, 42 wasn't in the trade, so they're buying it'. But then it turned out now that we're buying 45 from Orlando, not the 42 from NOLA.

Total guess but seems plausible since no one can confirm 42.

buckboy · Post #135 » by **buckboy** » Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:43 pm

We have 45 from Orlando for sure thought right?

Yes I believe Magic even announced it

John Hollinger had an article he just retweeted from yesterday where he states that The Athletic had sources saying it was #42 as well.

buckboy · Post #138 » by **buckboy** » Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:45 pm

Gimme 2 more please.

emunney · Post #139 » by **emunney** » Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:55 pm

We didn't buy 45, we traded 2 future 2nds for it.

emunney · Post #140 » by **emunney** » Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:58 pm

Penciling all these picks into the playoff rotation. 45 just needs to work on his ballhandling, but 42 is a complete player and ready to roll. And watch out for 60, he's a comer.
