Orlando must have won the championship. ESPN draft cast says they have no needs.

5 picks, straight like most mocks, no trades

Clearly we’ll finish tonight the same way? Who we mocked at, at #53?

Wiggins/Love trade 2.0

So Love for Mike Conley and two seconds? I can dig it.

Curious to see what Orlando does now after selecting Black. The Magic would have Fultz, Black, Suggs and Anthony.

Black kind of looks like Harry Potter.

The way things are going it doesn't look like we are trading into the 1st round. Maybe move up in the second or add a pick in the 2nd.

Anybody know what the Wizards gave up to trade for the #7 pick?

Did you really think we were trading up this high (short of KAT)? If we get into the first it would be one of the last picks. Patience.

I don’t know which two second rounders WAS used to move from 8 to 7. Likely both are from this year. I wanted one of those picks to trade up.

EDIT: two 2028 seconds, WAS still has three 2nds in this draft, and none on 24 or 25. Hopefully we can trade 1-2 future 2nds for a current one.

Do we finally see DAL trade the #10 to get Luka help, now that Hendricks is off the board?

Did anything in my comment make you think that I thought we were going to trade up into the top 5? I was just making an observation. However, I could have seen Kat traded for Simons and #3.

They traded up from 8 to 7? Interesting.

Maybe in 2 weeks...

Well, you drew a conclusion that we weren't going to trade into the first before the first 10 picks...

The DAL trade (10 + Bertans for 12 and cap space) creates a TPE for a future trade, or they simply use it to try to keep Kyrie.

They basically dumped Bertans for free since I'm guessing they would have picked Lively at #10 without the trade.

It's a vibe based on what has happened so far. I only make conclusions after all the facts are in. If you wanted to bet me, at this time, that the Wolves will be trading into the first I would make that bet with you. On the other hand I certainly would not be shocked if that happens. Speculation on my part is all.

Weird. Magic used both picks from the Vooch trade on Wolverines.
