I'd really like to trade back with Utah....

Some on the same guys we like are going to be there at 16. And get a guy like Jones, Sasser, Bailey, Podz, Jaime Jaquez at 27

DC could be such a huge basketball market and FA draw but ted leonsis has mismanaged basically everything.


Their last 6 first round picks have been busts and Cason is from Texas. I'm scratching my head at why this would be a dream come true.


Perhaps fit. Wizards desperately need a point guard and maybe Wallace sees himself as a seemless fit there and can start from day 1.

What sort of asset would be required to jump from 13 to 11? Would something like Precious be enough? Not a great fit with the Magic unfortunately


Precious, Boucher and #13 for Hardaway and #10. We let Trent go, Dallas moves #13 and Bertans for the best frontcourt player they can find and prays that Precious never having to dribble the ball and focusing on defence leads to him becoming a solid starter.

Poeltl-Siakam-Barnes-OG-VanVleet
bench is Koloko, OPJ, Dick, HardawayJR and the MLE is either a big or a backup PG depending on how much Masai likes Flynn I guess.


I get the feeling that Mavs are hunting bigger fish with teh 10th pick. Precious and Boucher don't move the needle for them.

Not a chance we move off Precious to move up 3 spots.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

lol you're much higher on Precious than most people.
Would you move down to 16 to take on an undersized center that had a 53 TS%?

Unable to watch this set of scrimmages, but he may have played himself from solid 2nd rounder to not being invited to Summer League.

So, day 2 after the lottery, Miller is a lock to go to CHA at 2, but is out of shape and not interviewing well.

Definitely sounds like a fit with Bridges.

We already have identified all the busts in the 1st round, no room for any more.

I think we should consider OG for 4. OG would be a perfect fit w Harden, they have to prove they want to win now to get him. OG is a position need and doesn't make much so he keeps cap space open. Amen doesn't fit w houston.


imo Amen could end up being the best player in the draft. History says wemb is injury prone, Scoot is small and can't shoot, Miller's ceiling is more of a 2 maybe 3rd best guy.


Amen learns to shoot(which he has shown improvements throughout the season) look out

Talent wise I don’t see any reason why he should…but character and you’re bringing him into “super swag” LaMelo Zoolander Ball and *ahem* when keeping it real goes wrong Miles Bridges, True the skreetz Scary Terry. Let’s just say not exactly the “culture” I think someone who has his own personal red flags should be joining.

I mean there is the choice of a franchise PG who all I’ve ever heard is people RAVING what a gym rat and competitor Scoot is but that doesn’t sound like something the WOAT owner MJ would be interested in lol

I've seen a few mock drafts where Cason slides to us at 13 and I don't understand it. That would be a dream scenario for this team if he slides to 13.

I'm a bit concerned about Wallace's back issues. I know we have Alex Mac but having back problems already at age 19 sounds like it could be a problem like with McGrady.

At this point, I would be very surprised if Cason slides past Washington at #8. They need defense, they need a PG, and he's arguably BPA at that spot anyway.
