New York equals exposure and good for your brand

it's also a second home to him.

So say Grizzlies take RJ at #2. Knicks plan to keep DSjr and also sign Kemba or KI. No room for JA. What can you get from the Suns? #6 and what else?

#6 + Suns unprotected 2020 pick

That'd be nice, but I see it being protected. Kind of like the Dallas-Atlanta trade.

Gotta include Mikal Bridges in the package too. Him AND Deandre Hunter (if we take him 6th) would fit in nicely around KD and Kyrie.

RJ wanting NY. Declining workouts with Memphis. Knick fans getting excited about RJ. This has Memphis drafting RJ at #2 written all over it.

Declining Memphis invitation is just going to make them want him more.

It's going to be a punch in the gut when RJ is called at #2.

Just like Steve Francis to Grizzlies

Imagine Ja and Zion though

That's must see tv!

Cam Fam at #8 Rui at #10 the dream

Perry doesn't leak info. We apparently had KP deals and discussions lined up for months and yet the Dallas deal came out of nowhere. He barely talked at the combine. I don't buy we are under any serious consideration to do 3 for 8/10, just seems like speculation to me. Get ready for a lot of that leading up to the draft.

Yeah imma just not believe these crap. Perry a G

If Pelicans get Ja, would they want to move Holiday?

[NoLayupRule]

that's such a dumb tweet. you have to look at the actual players involved.

RJ in most years is a #8 pick.

Only because he’s the knicks presumptive pick

If we were picking 4 you’d love rj

[El Poochio]

You have to analyze carefully who is gonna be better in 5 years time if you are building for long term

Really who is better right now doesnt matter unless you are looking to compete now

[Stannis]

Yea, I think that #3 for #8 and #10 is just speculation. That sounds like an NFL trade.

...which we would be if KD is coming

[taj2133]

I know the hawks like culver a lot and lot of hawks fans say there front office wants culver badly. Let just say the memphis takes rj barret, the knicks could do two things either trade with the suns and let them have morant but trade frank to the suns also. Options two is trade with the hawks for eight and number but hawks have to take frank if they want culver.

But these players are so fickle they can change their mind next morning

Having free agency before draft is a must

I would not trade back from #3 to #8 and #10 in this draft.

i hear that. but a question i have to ask myself.

is RJ > cam + bol?

what if garland is on the board at 8?

what if you really like sekou doumbouya?

Bol will bust. The guy is down to 190 and will never keep weight on playing an NBA schedule. Hard Pass.

Hunter & Clarke for me if we trade back.



Hunter
15.2 PPG 5.1 RPG 2.0 APG 0.6 SPG 0.6 BPG
52% FG 44% 3PT 78% FT 58% EFG 62% TS

Clarke
16.9 PPG 8.6 RPG 1.9 APG 1.2 SPG 3.2 BPG
69% FG 69% FT 69% EFG 70% TS

Two very good role players to flank the stars (assuming they come & assuming we do this b/c we’re not trading for AD).

i like them too.

Efficient and very good defensively. What team doesn’t need that? Especially with all our chuckers who play one side of the ball, I might do it even if I know we don’t land anyone.

The upside is hard to pass up on RJ / Culver, so I understand both sides.

I dont know if Clarke is a good fit next Mitch. Both are weak 3pt shooters and playmakers. Goga and Sekou could be better options, although I dont know if they could a useful role in a win now team.
