If we trade up from #12 to #4 I'd be cool with that. Heck no to selecting him at #2 though....

If he say he want be one of the greatest I will put it down to confidence but right now he have done absolutely nothing to believe he’s a great.


You know who I was really impressed with after watching an interview? Theo Maledon. You know who I thought literally had an intellectual disability after watching his interview? Derrick Rose.

I'm not even going to factor in interviews in my draft analysis at this point.


I changed my mind again . I remember my first few job interview … I was pretty bad.

Considering he didn’t do college yet , I guess his interview skills are pretty rough so i guess he really wants to be here (?) or most probably believe we are the best fit for this stage of his career.

Can’t take Murray over Ivey. If we move up I hope we are just sending picks elsewhere (probably has to be a 3 team trade) rather than Dort.

I already think it's unlikely we move up from 12 to 4 but without including Dort it's not going to happen.

Anything is possible and it seems like at this time people are just trying to discuss the possibility of any and all scenes rips happening. As we near the draft we are seeing the extreme examples. The smoke screens will be clearly visible the next few days.

How would you feel if Blake Wesley went at 12 to the Thunder?

Now how would you have felt if the Thunder took Gannis over Adams at the time.

I wonder where the Thunder had him on their draft board.

Whoever Presti gets I will trust his selection.

I mostly wonder if they had Giannis over Adams but picked Adams because we badly needed a Center.

We would have been dominant . More so if we had gotten beal for harden , or booker instead of Payne or traded up for Mobley .

I don't blame Presti for Mobley because we know we tried to move up and since he had Mobley #1 on his board, I think he made a pretty good offer to Cleveland (will never know the details but think Cleveland just made the right smart call on this)

No clue how Davis is that high but guess he won't be there at 12. Bookmakers don't know Presti well enough to place Ivey n°2 at +6000

I placed a bet in Ivey at +8000 to go #2. Odds were too good.

I also got Murray at +270 to go 4.

Davis at a o/u 6.5 tells me the Pacers love him. He might be the guy at 6.

I like both bets. Kings are very high on Murray and trading the pick would be risky.

Doubt Pacers would pick Davis over Mathurin/Daniels but who knows...

I really hope we move up because even guys like AJG and Sochan will be gone just before our pick. Don't love any of Duren/williams/Agbaji/Branham/Dieng

5 I think...Presti likely gonna try to make an offer but Detroit will pick him.

2-5 is Ivey's range.
