I’m okay taking Clarke or swinging for the fences with Kevin Porter Jr.

Never been, but doesn't seem terrible. Crime rate pretty comparable to other major cities in the part of the country. What exactly makes it so bad?

They are cheaters and have no fan base. What has the city ever won but one Super Bowl?

Maybe NOP wants to go youth movement? Monk + 12 + Batum for Jrue please.

I'm literally happy that we didn't drop from 12. The league just never has valued us. I never ever expect the league to do anything good for us. It's like they feel like they are doing us a favor by having a team here. It's like we are never a priority. I hate this league.

No way. Jrue. Zion, AD is pretty legit. Not to mention Randle.

Disregard last post. But they'd want Miles, Monk, 12, and Biyombos expiring. Thats way too much for Jrue. They're about to get the world for AD, what a perfect rebuild opportunity.

Im not really interested in him. Seems to be quite the project to be a junior.

Liver_Pooty · Post #312 » by **Liver_Pooty** » Wed May 15, 2019 3:16 am

Hachimura would be a homerun at 12. He wont last.

If Rui fell to us that would be best case scenario for relative strength versus draft position. However, there is no likely star at 12. Not sure there is potential of a starter at that spot.

euphorbus · Post #316 » by **euphorbus** » Wed May 15, 2019 10:30 am

"a hitch at the top of his release to fix." No thanks. We tried that with a #2 pick already.

bravor · Post #317 » by **bravor** » Wed May 15, 2019 12:15 pm

Don't need a star to perform, you need quality players/all star potential. Again, i hope Kupchak will follow the Atlanta road. Wether Kemba stays or not, there is still potential to bounce back as no one can predict how the East is gonna look like next season (it's not like i expect a lot of stars to move to the East besides Durant, knowing some might move to the East again).

My personnal choices would be Clarke (if he's available and FO don't pick him up i will be beyond mad, especially if the Hawks get him), Dort, Okeke

Glad that Cleveland and the Knicks did not get top picks.

I love this new lottery cause it should finally get rid of all the tanking clowns who want to tank all the time.

THIS is gonna be the year we draft a stud at 12. Not going to be anything like the last half dozen drafts at all.

I was a little put off by the good length/athleticism, but they brought me back with "has hitch in his jump shot".
