You mean last chance for Monday. We'll have this to 100 by the end of the night.

1. Mikal

Thursday can't come fast enough. I want to walk away with Doncic or trade down.

Also, what happened to the 15th draft thread?

[SARGO127]

Would you guys deal Noah + LFT + #9 for Dudley + Tyson + #16 + #31

All we'd have to do is deal Lee and we'd have enough money to sign Kyrie + Kawhi.
Lee, cash for expiring like Bayless (PHI), Jefferson (Indy), etc.

#16 - G Lonnie Walker
#31 - F Isaac Bonga
#36 - F Keita Bates-Diop

2019-2020
G Irving
G Ntilinka
F Bates-Diop
F Leonard
C Porzingis
6. Walker
7. Dotson
8. Bonga
Fill it out with ring chasers.

It was Traded for a player to be named later and Cash.

No way.

Also, I've said this a few times over the last few days, but I spent Friday (and part of Saturday) watching Bonga's stuff on Synergy + actual film. He has a WAYS to go both body wise, and skill wise, before he is an NBA player. Way less developed than Giannis was and way less than Frank, as well.

Walker won't last until #16 IMO.

I wouldn't make that Trade.

Mikal all the way for me.

Don't get this love for Knox all of a sudden. I want a winner and a defensive player to join Frank/KP.

Naa... Kawhi is likely going to be re-signing with whoever he’s traded to. No chance we get him n Kyrie in FA.

Rather draft the best player at #9, stretch Noah, and dump CLee’s last year with a 2nd rounder instead.

Any chance that you can put your own mock draft on there?

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a while but Im on RealGM everyday reading this forum. Just want to chime in on my thoughts for the draft. This is obviously a deep draft which is good since we pick at 9. My gut tells me Mikal Bridges will be more than just a 3&D role player. Maybe not a perennial All Star, but a 20ppg scorer with elite Defense. All I know is that whoever we draft will be known for their defensive play. I think Mills, Perry, and Fizdale all want that. They will be drafting BPA, but defense will be a huge component of that. There are 2 players that could throw a monkey wrench into this: Porter and Young. I think both will be off the board anyway.

To me its Mikal or Carter. Im not buying the Knox pick yet. Its too risky for the bust potential. If this kid is vastly improving and is killing every workout, then I'm going to be behind the kid if we pick him. But he has to be proving himself on the defensive end. I just think that if Mikal or Carter are still available, one of them will be our pick. Im REALLY hoping both Young and Sexton are drafted before us. Overall, this is a fun draft to follow, very deep, and somewhat unpredictable. I also would not be opposed to trading down with Clips for the right deal. Should be an exciting night on Thursday!

Only so many teams as gullible as Charlotte!

Would be funny if in a Year we'll able to sign back WillyG!
