Spurs could trade #14, 76ers could trade #3 for a veteran to go with Embiid and PG13, NOLA could move #7 for a vet, Phoenix could move #10...a lot of options for trading. If I were the 76ers I'd be looking to go in the opposite direction and trade Embiid and PG13 for picks and youth, but I think they'll be praying for health that never shows up.

Pacers buying a 2nd from the Spurs. I like that for both teams. The Spurs have two lottery picks and are a young team they don't need to add a 2nd round pick and the Pacers need some cheap end of the bench players as they are going to be going into the tax to keep their team together.

Ace Bailey monster season for OKC to get the Jazz pick in 2026.

He feels like a Carmelo Anthony type to me. He'll put up points, but he doesn't really play defense or create for his teammates.

for you guys to know how polarizing cmb is: at 7, jay bilas has cmb as the best player available. i'm sure there are draftnicks with a 2nd round draft grade on him.

Presti just woke up from his parade hangover and is slowly trying to figure out who are the top prospects in this draft

Tankathon had him ranked 13th. I don't think anyone had him outside the top 20 and he could have been in the top 15 for every "expert". I just don't like him. Every year there are players who are consensus top 10 players that I don't like. CMB is just that guy this year for me. I also don't like Fears, but I was never worried about Presti drafting him.

It was a bit of a reach. I kind of like him, but didn't want him in OKC. He's got a huge bust potential. He reminds me of AK47, Kirilenko, from the old school Jazz. Potentially a solid player who does a bit of everything well, but doesn't do anything great.

if the raptors don't take jakucionis, i think suns pass on jakucionis too. then i'm behind presti trading for 11 to take jakucionis.

i believe this dude will be one of the best shotmakers in the nba

A couple of mocks had them taking Essengue. I know that will make some here happy as it keeps Presti from taking him.

Murray-Boyles to the Raptors. I am very happy and now Presti can't completely screw up the draft!!!

the last time i banged the drum so hard for a player it was sengun...

i know cmb is that guy, hope something happens down the draft for the thunder to get him. that or jakucionis or coward.

Sengun would be trash on this team. He still hasn't figured out how to make a 3. At best you could call him TEMU Sabonis.

Kizz Fastfists · Post #2419 » by **Kizz Fastfists** » Today 1:21 am

Of course, Houston takes a real center. Now TEMU Sabonis will end up coming off the bench.

Coward to Portland. I think OKC is safe unless Presti decides to take a combo guard that can't shoot, but I think/hope he got over that stupidity a few years ago.
