Yep.

Except it will be a lot of fun to watch.

Give me him and somehow Mikal



Sadly the only way we get another lottery pick is with trading Frank.


Only hope if trading some of our guys for 1sts and packaging them together.

Should of happened at the deadline but can’t do anything about that now

With that said... I'll take my chances picking first every time.
Already looking forward to summer league!


You think Fultz is a better fit for the triangle than Tatum?

Before the draft we were looking hard for a point guard. I think Ron Baker was the only pg on the roster. I don't know who Phil would have chosen but around here people were comparing Tatum to Melo in a negative way.

Then you had articles like these praising the Sixers and calling the Celtics losers:

BPA for triangle seemed to be the goal IMO. That’s why I think he takes Tatum

Look what the Jazz did last year for Mitchell. It was a young player and a later pick.

Very intriguing. He would have balls of steel to do that here. Fultz was supposed to be a no brainer high level starter though. I don't think you can trade that when we were desperate to see a star pg in NY

Should be Mills....He got us Porzingis. Scared to have the first overall since we can screw it up, but I don't mind if his juju backs us into another super star :lol:

In all honesty though I wouldnt mind getting the first and trading back a couple of picks and pick up an extra first next year. This draft class really doesnt excite me compared to next years crop.

Maybe you have a strong faith in probability. There is a high likelihood we stay put. A chance for some excitement.

Not clear that's a bad trade tbh. Lauri has looked pretty good.

the Suns get the first pick, they're drafting Doncic. so, if you want Don Ciccio you're gonna need that first pick.


If we get a chance to draft Doncic, Bagley or Ayton, i just hope our player development doesn't **** it up.

Not necessarily. We could get 2nd and Pho could get 3rd. Nice Godfather reference.

A huge sigh of relief will be had if we don't see the Knicks logo until AT LEAST number 9.

I dont think so necessarily. Ayton is a great fit since Len will be a FA and Tyson is old. Suns have a bigger need for a big than a wing since they have Booker, JJ, Warren

Ayton is IMO the #1 player in the draft and has the best potential too; reminds me of Embiid. Doncic, who I believe will be really good, lacks elite athleticism. I see him more of a Gordon Hayward/Klay Thompson type

Here's what we need, anything in top 4. If not Doncic, We should take Michael Porter. Give him the Ben Simmons treatment, a full year to red shirt, rehab and get accustomed to the NBA. Stink next year, Secure a top pick and come back in 2 years with

KP
Porter
2019 top 3 pick
Frank

Now that is something to get excited about and very quickly!
