BC is the worst GM, but damn is he ever entertaining af. Some days I miss all the action he got involved in here and then common sense hits me and I realize that winning is far superior.

The way Ryan Wolstat sees the draft unfolding:
1. Philadelphia - Ben Simmons - Too much skill to pass up but lacks jumper.
2. L.A. Lakers - Brandon Ingram - Needs to get bigger, but scores with ease.
3. Boston - Kris Dunn - All-around stud, but duplicates Smart a bit.
4. Phoenix - Dragan Bender - Immense talent, but a risky pick.
5. Minnesota - Buddy Hield - Desperately need a lights-out shooter.
6. New Orleans - Jamal Murray - Ideal fit with Holiday future uncertain.
7. Denver - Marquese Chriss - Could go higher. Will take time but intrigues
8. Sacramento - Jaylen Brown - Skills must catch up to immense athleticism.
9. Toronto - Jakob Poeltl - Expect this to be dealt for cap room/pick.
Maybe the 27th, but we can definitely pick up a useful player at 9. Not mad with Poeltl at all - he will be our new back up C and we can use our MLE/Ross for a new PF.

2 expiring vets that help now. A young big to add to the Scottie timeline
I'd prefer to keep Stew and give Monte Morris
I'd really prefer to keep Morris and Stew and give the great Killian Hayes and 2nd round picks

I think he means trading down for cap room. I.e 9+Ross for 11 or something (which is still pretty terrible unless we get another future pick too imo)

Yes, Masai is going to trade away a top 9 pick just for pure cap space...

Yea I mean, I would rather keep Ross and Caroll than have to pay someone to take them (draft pick or trading down), they arent THAT bad.
