So what happens if Barnes & BI looks like a dynamic duo to build with. Where does CMB slot in? We move BI to the 2?

In Raptor Ball I Trust

I know we discussed that rumor a couple of weeks ago, but I’m wondering if this could point to something like an RJ + #9 for Cam Johnson + #19 framework.
Johnson is slightly cheaper than RJ, provides more spacing, and maybe the organization is targeting a big man in the mid-to-late teens.
I’m not saying I would make that trade—I know it was an unpopular idea when it came up last time.
But I do wonder if there’s something to the rumor.

Maybe it's RJ = PWill + @ + Pick 12
Then reroute PWill + Pick 9 for Cam Johnson + pick 19

Maluach made it to 9 and Sam traded down with Atl for 13, 22 and a second rounder.
EXACTLY what Masai should do if KM is available at 9.

I don't see how that matters. I don't foresee CMB or any player drafted this year being an option for the starting line-up.
We need frontcourt depth, so if CMB can put up solid minutes playing between the 4/5 position behind SB and JP, we'll be a better team.

That would be incredible. But I am not sure it’s that realistic.
RJ + 9 for Cam, 12 and 19 would be real bargain.
I think in this trade both Brooklyn and Chicago are a bit losing IMO.

helps us dodge the tax next year and upgrades our bench, but not worth it to drop from 9 to 19

Cam fits this team way better than RJ. Cam is those 3 and D wings that can fit in any lineup.

If we draft KM, we are keeping him. Only trade down if KM is no longer available

Trade down for Beringer still on my wish list, especially if they can recoup another 1st too.

Sam went with Beringer at #13 and Riley at #22
Sam has heard some Beringer buzz with Toronto.

Re: 2025 NBA Draft Discussion Part 9
idk man, he simply pops on tape just like mobley did. can't teach that sort of fluidity at his size. his measureables only enhance his case.
might not be ready for a while but you take the potential and let the developmental staff do its thing. adding a later pick would ease things too. this seems like the smartest thing to do instead of sticking at 9.
