I'd be happy to trade this years 1st and a bad contract (Bats?) for an additional 1st round pick next year so that we have at least 2 x 1st round picks going into the 2021 draft.


I dunno... we are getting into range to get a really good pick. RJ Hampton, Cole Anthony, or even a better chance of winning the lottery and getting our choice of Edwards/Wiseman/Ball.

Back into the 6th spot with 4 games in hand (.16% behind) on the Wiz for 5th overall. This road trip was very necessary.... close games that were winnable and our youngsters having good games.

CBS has a mock draft of Wiseman falling all the way to 7th. I dont see anyway possible that happens.

Hawks just added Teague. He's probably worth a few wins. We got a shot at top 3 and would obviously be the best spot possible to be.

Wiseman is my top choice and it isn't even close.

I like Edwards most but Wiseman would be darn nice too. Fine with Haliburton, Ball or maybe the french guy if we are drafting later. Second round I would like a developmental big like maybe Oturu if we don't land Wiseman first.

This CBS Sports Mock draft has us taking Tyrese Haliburton. I didn't even hear about the guy until I checked out this mock draft.

The way Haliburton shoots scares me, but the rest of his game is solid. I like Obi, Edwards, Wiseman, Ball, McDaniels, Abdija, and Killian Hayes.

If we don’t get Edwards/Wiseman/Ball then I want Obi next.

With the Hawks adding Capela, moving into the bottom 3 for top draft odds is in our favor if we don't add any pieces before the deadline. Key will be out tanking Detroit if they move Rose/Drummond.

I was on the band wagon that Cole Anthony is overrated by his third game in college. I was hoping that when he went down with his injury, Roy could coach him up to trust his teammates and pass the ball. Sadly, he’s the same player as before. A black hole on offense, lacks trust, forces too many shots. He’s an undersized chucker. We MUST stay clear of him in this draft. I can easily see him sliding come draft night. Hopefully he slides right past us.

Detroit is racing us to the bottom. Hopefully we catch the break that has eluded us ever since the Baron Davis lottery.

Hawks have Capela, Cavs have Drummond. Wiseman may fall into our laps.

Knicks, Pistons, and Warriors all got worse. We are going to have to tank hard to get into the top 3. I'm thinking we'll probably land around 5th worst.

With the flat odds, that maybe enough.

1 - 3 have 14.5% chance at top pick. 4th 12.5 5th 10.5.

Either way we will get a good young player.

37% chance to hit top 4 compared to 52% in the top 3.

Vernon Carey is a left handed KAT. A big that can score and has some moxie in him. Whiteman or this guy are the only big options there should be. His stock is rising...Hornets better be paying attention or he may be our biggest mistake after not drafting steph.

Now Minny and GSU should be putting up some dumb wins and possibly Cavs and Hawks too. Watch this weak draft be the first in almost 20 years we win the #1 pick.

I think ATL, CLE and GS got better but DET is going to race with us to the bottom. The NYK are the Knicks, so who knows....other than us, they get screwed in the lottery at an even clip.
