The Brad trading down or trading out will be the most exciting trade for Celtic fans. :lol:

Well, I was wrong.

Miami decides to go with an upside big..

If ware hits, it could be a really nice fit with him and Bam.

Bam can switch on the perimeter..Ware is the rim protector roamer. On offense, Bam operates at the FT line - and he either throws lobs to Ware at the basket - or you have Ware out on the 3 pr line ready to hit open 3's.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Sixers, do the right thing. Pick Knecht!

Nice fit as a supporting piece next to Embiid and Maxey.

Knect and Da Silva still on the board. Gets interesting if either slide past 20. I wanted us to move up for Whitmore last year

Knecht still on the board..he's arguably a top 6 or 7 prospect in this draft class.

McCain doesn't feel like the best fit next to Maxey based on measurables. Wonder if it's part of a trade down.

Agreed - but he can shoot and he was arguably BPA and the Sixers need cheap depth everywhere next season. I like the pick.

FWIW, last summer Philly hired 2 guys from Draft Twitter to its scouting department (Adam Spinella, the Box and One guy) and CJ Marchesani.

Those 2 must like McCain..

So Bronny not one of Bilas’ remaining 10 best? Am I sure I’m watching ESPN?!?!

Amazing how white the Laker front office is.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

The Lakers couldn't have even dreamed of getting this lucky when they woke up this morning.
