Morey the type of guy that would ask for 3 first rounders to move back one spot.

Kon now -400 to go 4th overall.

I’m going to be sick to my stomach. Just horrific.

Is it too early to go ahead and open the Dybantsa and Boozer threads?

I dunno that’s pretty high odds for Vegas.

Just cracked open a cold one. Let’s do this.

Funny, thought they drafted Tidjane for his measurables and his ability to fit in a modern offense, so you're saying Clingan the two-time NCAA champ or Edey the two-time college player of the year wouldn't have helped "fix" that other problem?

Yep, I’d hit the books and nibble on Ace 4 overall right now.

Matt Babcock about to report that Shams is confirming the scoop he already had

I can stomach the Kon pick if we are taking him at 8.

Makes 0 sense to use a 4th pick on him. I guarantee no one in the top 10 besides us want him. Not even a fringe playoff team like Phoenix would take him considering they already have 13 different guards.

This simply is not true unless you ignore every piece of reporting that’s been out there for months. I’ll bet you whatever that if we trade down to 8 he’s not there. It’s clear the league is higher on Kon than this forum is.

I'm going offline for a few hours. Going to watch this one without the internet. Whoever we pick will get through it as a fan base. Just know that whoever goes three and whoever goes five will be the two best players in the draft like always.

Better idea open up threads on whoever’s mocked to be picked 6th or 7th. That’s more our speed

Morrison and Kaminsky crawled so Kon could walk at a brisk pace

My prediction is we trade back with either Utah, Washington, New Orleans, Brooklyn or OKC. Unless VJ is available at 4.

I think we need to get their first pick in this draft, a good vet and a future first at a minimum from whoever we do trade with though.

I also think we trade up back into the first with our early seconds, or trade one of them for 2-4 future seconds.

Hornets mod takin off for the draft is like a Honey Baked Ham manager calling out the day before thanksgiving

And Ace Bailey is NOT 6'9 or 6'10. He's 6'7. He looks barely taller than Harper in the green room. That's a Rutgers lie that has artificially propped up his draft stock all year.

I won't be bummed if we take him if VJ is gone but damn I'm wary of him.

all this time padding reporting is boring as hell
