I could see us packaging #39 + next years Lakers second round pick to move up a bit.

Has Masai ever made a draft day trade?

Was Norman Powell + future 1st for Vasquez during the draft?

Vazquez deal in 2015 for 1st '17 (OG) and 2nd '15 (Norm).

He acquired a pick for Chomche, but I don't recall anything major.

I’d be shocked if they are able to make tight draft day trade decisions. Maybe with seconds.

Masai's best move too, he should make more draft day trades.

That was younger and hungry Masai. Now we got older and complacent Masai.

It’s all smoke guys. We’ll draft Malauch in the most predictable fashion.

I would be surprised to see them make huge splash on draft day. They only ever do small marginal ones.

What I don't want to see is trading down to get more marginal talents. Just draft BPA. If anything, they should do a consolidation/upgrade trades. We have more than enough middling prospects.

Yes -
But likely not the deal we hope for.

We have a finite amount of spots so I don't see us adding additional back-end second rounders which is the obvious boring type of trade I would expect.
Best guess, we draft @ 9 in boring and unspectacular fashion and then we maybe try and move up with 39 or just flat out trade out for future SRPs.

My best wish would be a trade down options to get two 1st rounders instead , then it’s stating pat #9, then dropping down with a swap of pick then dropping out of the 1st rounds completely.

I just hope we at least draft someone today .

But my worse case scenario would be not drafting anyone today plus surrendering a future 1st pick for a meh upgrade .

I think the most likely scenario is we stand pat at #9 but with all the rumours , I guess it could go in all directions
