Anyone else chuckle when they said Detroit gets 5th pick??

Oh I laughed at them.

Okay basketballrob, its your time to shine, what are the odds?

Whitmore is 5th in odds, and Black is 6th, according to Fanduel.

If anything think Portland trades Dame and rebuilds vs keeping Dame. They badly need to rebuild but are stuck in crossroads.

and at the end,instead they will probably keep lillard,keep the pick and make a mess.

incredibly toxic relationship superstar-franchise at this point

I would trade for Dame.

lillard will go to a contender,or at least an outsider.
portland will never send him in a place he does not want to be.

(and by the way i really hope weham are not that dumb to get a 33 yo with 4 years supermax)

PG Fultz / Suggs / Anthony
SG Bridges / Harris
SF Wagner / Houstan
PF Banchero / Isaac
C Carter / Wagner / Bol

Compete with anybody.

So one of Walker/Ausar/Whitmore with #6 and Gradey/Bufkin/Hawkins at #11 is my current wishlist.

[Max Power]

We certainly are in a good position here. We should be able to get a decent 2 guard at 6 and maybe one of the defensive bigs at 11 or another wing. Or we could use those picks to maybe facilitate a trade for a high end veteran wing perhaps. Gonna be an interesting off-season and I think the Magic improve even more! I kinda hope one of those Thompson twins are available for us. Taylor Hendricks feels kinda like a Magic pick too.

Knee-jerk mock draft reaction

SAS - Wemby
CHA - Miller
POR - Scoot
HOU - Amen
DET - Whitmore
ORL - Ausar
IND - Walker
WAS - Black
UTA - Wallace
DAL - Hendricks
ORL - Dick
OKC - George
TOR - Whitehead
NOP - Sensabaugh

Portland is probably going to be looking to trade their pick, or trade Dame. The offseason could get real interesting...

#6 hendricks

[Magic#1]

I do wonder what Charlotte is gonna do with that pick

Take the BPA in Brandon Miller.

Then you wonder what Portland is going to do with Scoot… likely trade him for vet help for Dame. Or, they could keep him and trade Dame for a ton of picks to set up their rebuild.

I would assume Miller is the favorite at two now. If Scoot is there at three, I have Portland name their price.

Anthony a 3rd stringer lol. He will average more than 25 min a game next year and be a HUGE part of our success. Harris would be the back up 3/2. Prob sent in the trade for Bridges. Houstan also I like but doubt he plays much next year if we want to win.

It's very iffy for me. Dame would be a perfect fit for us, but he'll be 33 at the start of the season and trying to win a championship with him in the next three years seems unlikely. Deep playoff run? Absolutely. But for what he would cost, I'm not sure it's worth it.

me,in case

[OrlandoMagic]

I’d like to trade both picks for a solid player, and go after some bigger names in free agency. If we decide to keep the picks give me Gradey and Hendricks. Try a lineup of Suggs/Gradey/Wagner/Banchero/Carter would be a freakin tall one for sure.

The key is not to over pay. Scoot has his own question marks even though I have him at #2. Would I trade 6 and 11 for him? Yes. Would I throw Suggs into that as well? Hell no.

[basketballRob]

Giddey went 6th. Black is a better defending version of Giddey.
