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.


if charlotte thinks henderson is a better prospect,they will draft him.

I don't know why I read... Mile Bridges and was about to go crazy.... Hahaha... Luckily I checked. And yup... I would do this in a heart beat too.

Whew


that offer would get you Miles Bridges, not the one you want...although Miles is pretty damn good too.

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...


This is logical. Pretty safe bet tbh.

My guess is Black


Black shot only 30% from 3 on the season, his biggest weakness. :(

#6 + #11 + your choice of Cole or Suggs (not both).

What is the best return we can get for this offer on the open market??

Hendricks for me in this scenario. Or Ausar if you're feeling like taking a risk. I'm not super comfortable with the Thompson twins, but I do like Ausar better (for us). Then a wing shooter at 11 (or Cason Wallace).

high floor low ceiling IMO. Both could be very good starters from what ive seen. Dont really want either at 6, but at 11 sure.

i was mainly thinking of it as a starting point. but... i'll throw in Cole, harris and Okeke and Denver pick too. and they send back one of their 21/22 .

no superstar or even(real)all-star on the market at today.

and ,despite what this board thinks,you do not trade all that stuff just for a minor immediate upgrade.

so my answer is: -nothing really interesting-

We don't need to sell you because that won't happen.

The last two times this front office had the #6 pick they grabbed Bamba and Isaac, so what could go wrong?

Both would sucks for us. Walker too short to be the part time C and we got Paolo to log heavy ninutes in the 4 spot.

Wallace... not really seeing it based on his college career but *maybe* he surprises.. who knows.
