[cloverleaf]

Do we have the actual trade details?

They send a 2026 most favorable second-rounder of Detroit, Milwaukee, Orlando;
2027 second is most favorable of Orlando and Boston.

I believe #57 is the C's original 2nd coming back to them.

They could all be gone
lol

Looking like at least 1 of these bigs will be there at 46 for us...my preference:

1) Markovic
2) Raynaud
3) Amari Williams

It's hilarious that so many people were clamoring for Raynaud and his "first round talent why did Brad pass on him" when he's still there at 40

I'd be happy with him at 46 though..

Ah damn my alligator Sion James goes at 33!!

Came a long way from when he wasn’t even mocked. I mainly wanted him to tempt Flagg to come here even more then realized he was kind of an interesting player.

Maybe Hugo didn’t want to commit to being a 2nd round pick. He wanted that guaranteed money. Not the chance of a 2way.

Too bad we can't have Danny for drafts and Brad for trades. Now that, would be a helluva POBO. PS, I still love Brad, but not impressed with his drafting, but also, I loved the Baylor pick. Hell, he's got me all over the place.

Baylor is his only pick. I mean other than Hugo, who can't be judged. So he's 1 for 1.

Be that as it may, I will vent as I see fit based on my own biases. I wanted him to pick at 32, and not trade back for the pupu platter, which he also did a couple of years ago, and we ended up with Walsh, who has thus far been a bust. He's not one for one. He gets no credit for trading down.

Joe Dumars on the clock for the Pelicans
Joe is rusty as heck...
Cant wait to see what he does next

Who needs a big when we're having Kornet back?

Kornet annihilates every big that would be taken. You think Kalkbrenner is better than Kornet?

We'll see.

Sometimes a team actually needs more than one center on the roster.

Argh, I liked Martin. Nice pick.

[Shak_Celts]

Few more picks

[phincsfan]

Shead and Martin are gonna be annoying af in Toronto

[Hal14]

Damn, just realized Amari Williams had a TRB% of 20.4, which led the SEC (best conference in college basketball). 19.9 for his career.

7'5" wingspan..

Markovic, Raynaud, Williams are all still on the board..

[redslastlaugh]

41. MIN
42. SAC
43. WAS
44. OKC

Should we just throw out every time when he traded out or traded back? You can’t go year after year getting nothing out of the draft.

Koby Brea is the pick if he's still there from what I just heard...

New Orleans takes MICAH PEAVY ... I was super high on Peavy

Did you have Markovic at, like, 27 on your draft board? Maybe a happy outcome for you at 46? (no jinx)

Stevens is morphing into Belichick, minus the hot, young girlfriend...
