Draft Thread 6.0: Magic picking 6th, 35th, 41st

[zaymon]

Rozier and Brown for pick and whatever from leftovers. I'm all for it.

Its better but still you trade for 2 players in the middle of their rookie contracts who showed they are great role players and complimentary players for real gems in Tatum and Horford. We really need more role players or we want to have a chance to draft game changer?

I think Jaylen has a much higher chance to be a game changer than anyone at 6.

If thats the case Boston wont move him for a 6th pick and we have nothing to talk about

I 100% agree, I think there's no way they would trade him for 6. I think they're floating Rozier/Sac pick if anything. Brown is off the table though unless they consolidate for AD or something.

Maybe they are willing to move Brown because when Hayward comes back he won't be starter any more , if they don't plan to play him at PF.
I agree about him having higher ceiling than anybody at 6# in draft, mostly because wings are by far most valuable players in league.

I don't view Rozier as great ,but would be huge upgrade from DJ, Mack,Payton, Jennings, Watson or whoever was PG last 5 years.

I just thought which players would top teams picked if they had a lottery pick. What you all think? I would go with:
Gsw- they need bigger, skilled center or versatile 3&D player Carter/JJJ or either Bridges.

Cleveland- they definitly lack versatile defender/shooter next to lebron Either Bridges

Houston- i am quite certain it would be Carter or JJJ. Capela showed why center position changed, he was unplayable at times.

Boston: they dont have any glaring weakness. Bamba gives their team more strategic options, JJJ or Carter could try to replace Horford after he retires.

It's not the most popular opinion but Celtics are looking to move into the top 6 for Bamba. There is no way they are going to keep Kyrie,Horford, Hayward, Tatum and Brown all long term. Tatum and Kyrie I think are their untouchables. Its not impossible to think Boston could trade Brown. Something around the 6th(Bamba) for Jayleen Brown?

I suggested this last week. But I had it was #6 + #35 for Brown + #27.

They balance their roster for the return of Irving and Hayward and grab a non-guaranteed young contract. We grab a proven player. He isn’t a star at the moment and I question how how his ceiling is but I’m a big fan and we have seen enough to have no worries about his floor. We also grab a late first to address PG with someone like Brunson or Holiday.

Brown isn’t perfect but without knowing the future, neither is any draft prospect. Tough choice for a straight up deal but if that extra first is tossed in I would take it and run.

Cleveland: Well, they DO have a lottery pick. Young, Sexton, Mikhal Bridges and MPjr are good options for them.

Houston: WTF are you talking about? They are likely to max out Capela this summer. He is a critical piece to their success. With Capela and CP needing new deals, free agent SF Trever Ariza is likely the odd man out. A cheap, defensive SF who can hit shots is going to be a target. Mikhal Bridges would be their guy.

Boston: They openly want a defensive anchor big man. Bamba or JJ. No discussion required.

I've honed in on Trae as our pick at six unless one of the bigs fall like Bagley or DeAndre. To me it just makes the most sense for the team moving forward. I think depth wise our next two picks could be huge for us.

I would be very happy if this was our draft day.

6. Trae Young, Oklahoma
35. Bruce Brown Jr, Miami
41. Melvin Frazier, Tulane

If we can get that Kings '19 pick, I'm sold. Send them the OKC pick too.

Cleveland- with lebron they need more shooting and versatile defenders who can switch, i doubt they pick Young or Sexton

Houston- Capela a critical piece who had problems to stay on the floor in the playoffs? Unless he starts shooting 3 i dont think so.

Boston- mostly agree but them asking Baynes to shoot threes points out more to Carter.

I have no interest in being the next team Danny Ainge fleeces in a trade.

After watching Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder and Isaiah Thomas (injury related, but still) all completely fall apart this year outside of Stevens' system, I'm just really weary of trading for anyone off their roster that isn't Tatum and he obviously isn't available.

People seem to forget that Rozier shot sub 40% from the field this season.

I agree. I’d be terrified to trade with Ainge.

Idea for our 41 pick- awful shooter, health concerns, subpar finisher but great character, energy, insane rebounder and defender, very good ball handler and passer. Highest upside in the second round?

Pretty sure Celtics are targeting JJJ. No way ainges would divulge his true target. He is to clever for that.

But yes I would do #6 for brown.

More so I would prefer to trade up for JJJ. JJJ would be a game changer for us.

There is a time when teams must stop giving Boston high draft picks. They cant pay all of these players after their rookie deals. Its better to wait few years and than sign them for free. Trading 6th pick for Brown is very short sighted in my opinion. Other thing is there are many red flags he wont be half as good without Stevens offensive system + Horford + Tatum.

How is that short sighted??
Hes probably better than anyone we can get at 6, and is still only 21 years old. Sorry if you think boston getting good in return for a young star player is a bad thing but thats how trades works.
