Givony and Woj did a podcast, some notes:
- Boston, Phoenix, Minnesota are very aggressive trying to get immediate improvements, Ryan McD might not see Bender or Chriss fully develop because he could get fired, so he wants older guys
- Thibs is enarmored with Dunn, NO likes Hield
- there is too many big men in this draft, look at G7 of Finals, only Thompson was a real big - I call bull$hit on this, Warriors lost because they didn't have Bogut
- teams want to stash guys, but not many want to be stashed


from boston board.


Just to add to this regarding Skal:

- forced to play a style at UK that went against his skillset. Lost confidence as a result. That confidence is starting to return.
-Scouts were super impressed with his workouts
- Dominated players at Nike Camp last year and showed he belonged. Now it's a year later and the same guys he played well against are being rated higher. Jonathan believes that the teams that saw Skal play at the camp will be higher on him than those that didn't.

Was still holding out hope Chriss would fall to us. There goes that idea.

If he walked away with Bender, who many had wanted all year, it would be an excellent draft for us. He can be stashed for a year and Masai can use the 27th pick on whoever is left from:

Prince
Jackson
Luwawu
Maker
etc.

Because then we don't have valuable cap space (on guaranteed first round contracts) held up on players that warm the bench.

Because D-Leagers
1. You have to pay them
2. Takes up a roster spot.

Stashed players
You don't pay
Don't take roster spot
Still a asset that can be traded

This 3 way deal has been in the works for a long time, it was almost done at the trade deadline .

Anyone know what the Hawks get?
