SGA, Giddey, Mann, Dort, Poku, JRE, Wiggins, Krejci, Bazley (?), Maledon (?), Roby (?), Jerome (?)
With Kenrich/Favors/Muscala that's 15 without likely 2-3 players we will draft.

If we can't find a trade for our older guys, I would get rid of Jerome/Roby (then Maledon I guess).
It would be better to trade Favors to open a roster spot even if we give up small value. I'm not against trading Muscala either, think Kenrich plays a bigger role leading our young guys and it's the last "older" guy I would trade.


I think everyone comes to camp as they can bring 20. If they keep the 4 picks plus the 15 on the roster they will still be able to bring in an UDFA or a guy from the Blue.

Micic + 12'pick for pick 6 or 7 would be great

We probably would need add something else other than just micic.

Indiana will pick BPA at 6 and no reason for them to get Micic early in their rebuild.

My best offer for #7 would be #12, #30, Denver 2023 FRP and rights to Micic (I don't think Micic has much value, so basically two bad FRPs and Micic to move up 5 spots).

It’s more likely portland want the 34 (plus a future second) OR including 34 , instead of 30 though. They have a lot of potential moves with their available cap/TPEs.


Whoever trading for 12 have to basically be ok with whoever left amongst the 3rd tier I guess.

Pretty much this. I like the 3rd tier enough not to make an overpay to get 7 or 8. Sacramento is likely open to business at #4, I would pay A LOT for that pick (not gonna happen though and I guess it's better to wait next draft to send a bag of picks to move up if needed)

I would only be paying minor assets to guarantee who I want out of the 3rd tier ( starts at 7-8 thereabout)

I don’t think we can move to 4 based on what sacremento wants ( current contributors) but we can still move to 7-10 as part of a 3 way which net them some future assets to make other moves.

I think our draft pick mix bag doesn’t really have much value in moving up to the early lottos from 12.

If we somehow want a better than 30th pick then it’s possible I guess but yes more likely we will use them next draft and move up from the Denver pick though.

There’s a fair bit of prospects I like between 20-40 in this draft but there’s just no roster slot / minutes available and I’m only open to moving off favors / Jerome/ Roby to have a 3rd rookie on the roster next season.

Indifferent to 3rd rookie to say Vit/ Theo/ Bazely/wiggins for example.

Don't underrate Micic. One of the best players in Europe. Great Basketball IQ , great vision for the game. He is an imminent help for each team.

This^

Micic is a really good Point Guard. A lot of teams can use him. The Bucks at #24 or the Nets at #23 for Micic is a no brainer slam dunk for both them.

Teams like the Wizards and Pelicans need a PG and maybe it could be a deal like Micic and DEN ‘23 Lottery protected pick for their top 10 pick this year.

KOC had Tyler Parker and Schlecht on the void podcast. Not a bad listen. Parker struggles to get his thought out.
