I think at minimum something involving #36 but I sense something else as well.

It's going to be a fun night.

Weltman punting 11 for a less desired future first and disappointing the entire fanbase seems almost certain.

[RookieStar]

We're not going to know what the team is gonna do, but it's fun to speculate and flame them when it doesn't match what we expected!

That being said, I have trust in this front office, unlike the Otis and Hennigan years.

TBF to Mr. I like this team... he didnt really have a bad record for getting players here. I think it was only because of Dwightmare that he got a bad rap

[Furinkazan]

I’m ready for Draft flattened out so we traded 11th

[neuraldarwinism]

im fine with most possible outcomes but my 2k fanfic is whitmore and lively.

start suggs, trade carter (not time pressed) and 6 man whichever of cole or fultz will play backup. trade the other before the season starts.

suggs
whitmore
franz
paolo
lively

It looked like Cam was #4 on Bilas board. I wouldn't be made if we picked him. I have Black and Cam as 1a and 1b.

I like Kobe and Jordan.

But for some reason it feels like Cole might not be a Magician after tonight.

Just don't trade picks. PLEASE DRAFT QUALITY PLAYERS.. AND DON'T TRADE THEM!

We need more talent. We are not ready to compete. We can deal with the growing pains.

You know damn well we aren't bringing in 3 rookies lol.

We're definitely ready to compete, we're not ready to contend.

I predict RealGM servers to crash at 8:16 lol

Contend is what I meant... but I want all 3 picks. I'd rather have the 36th pick playing in Osceola rather than other g-league guys.

I like a lot of the guys around there too, unfortunately we know what to expect though.. maybe they surprise us this year?

I can even see 11 traded potentially

I will lose my mind if they punt the 11th pick.

I will lose my mind if they punt the 11th pick.

I predict if they don't, they trade with the Spurs for idk, Vassell? Or maybe if Brooklyn wants to move up, 21 + DFS or something? Maybe Hawkins or someone drops there

Weltman rubbing his hands together for those cash considerations on #36 as we speak.

I’d say they’re more likely to move the #6 if they feel they can get a guy they like at #11 (Bufkin/Wallace/Bilal).

For #6 they could get a decent future 1st, or a decent player. I’m hoping it’s Vassell.

Edit: or they trade back, say with Utah for 9 and a pick. Take Hendricks there and their guard/wing at 11.
