Draft Thread 2: The Electric Draftaloo

[blueNorange]

when did this bs of trading down start? trading down doesn't work in basketball, this isn't the nfl.

MCD for Nurkic Harris
Chriss for Bogdan Skal Pap
Fultz for Tatum 2019 #14

That’s just in the last 5 drafts

It can work.

mcdermott was the 11th pick, not a top 3
chriss was the 8th pick, not a top 3
fultz was a #1 that got traded for the #3, so it's not like trading the #3 for lower picks.

so all in all, you thought you proved a point but you didn't.

yes those are "trade downs" but not with the same magnitude of trading the #3.

Makes sense for them. Especially if they plan on trying to sign Kyrie to pair with D-Lo.
Which I think is crazy..

[isiah_thomas]

Suns will probably end up with Conley

[god shammgod]

i don't think dennis is a veteran or what they're looking for, but they could have dennis & frank for the 6th pick. makes keeping mitch in a ad trade more possible. 3, 6, the mavs pick. pretty good haul.

Can’t see all these conference foes helping each other.
I could see Detroit, Miami or Indy.

I think that gets us Anthony Davis.

And makes me sad.

Jrue would make more sense

And Dinwiddie is garbage. Tank allstar.

He should just do one open workout

#6 for Dinwiddie? Shows the NBA has no patience, I'd rather bet on DSJ's potential

actually he did
He exactly proved the point especially with the Fultz example

But you can use the doncic example too

Doncic for young and the 2019 10th pick or whatever it turned into

You may not like it for us but you can’t pretend to not understand it or see the potential of it

RJ Barret would be with us 10th-11th I just saw on knicks feed.

[F N 11]

DSJ has yet to show his max potential. He’s another piece we are sleeping on. Go watch watch some state highlights and chill.

Your exact words

trading down doesn't work in basketball, this isn't the nfl.

You didn't state any specific parameters IE "trading down from a top 3 pick".

The broad generalization was relatively easy to disprove. I don't have to think I did it. I did do it.

Have a happy Monday

College highlights?

Is he in this draft?

Would be nice to get more than a photo but that's all we'll get

Them having him only do "light court work" means they don't really need to see him play.

Sounds like they are fairly locked in.

if he were in this draft, I think he'd go 7 at the latest IMO. He was a better prospect than Coby White is now

Just telling people to go remind themselves of what kind of prospect he is.
