I predict if they don't, they trade with the Spurs for idk, Vassell? Or maybe if Brooklyn wants to move up, 21 + DFS or something? Maybe Hawkins or someone drops there

11 for a young quality starter is an acceptable move. I would be pissed at a move like the Nets trade (30 year old fringe starter + dropping 10 spots).

Where’s Knightro? It’s the big night, I hope he’s alright.

It matters who they like at 11 though. If it's between people their intel thinks might drop, I could see them picking up a solid backup. I'd keep it personally but who knows

That being said, I have trust in this front office, unlike the Otis and Hennigan years.

TBF to Mr. I like this team... he didnt really have a bad record for getting players here. I think it was only because of Dwightmare that he got a bad rap

He wasn't as bad as Hennigan, but still thought he was a bad GM lucked into having Dwight, but that's for another time. Let's focus on the draft!!

I’ve been saying that for a minute. Makes me think it won’t happen now!

Also, I don’t think Disney would sign off on it just due to the pun potential.

calling it again, we draft Gidey at 6, here is our guy, and then we take a project at 11

What if we draft Black and trade Fultz for Derrick White? Then we'll have a Black and White backcourt.

Why stop there? Sign Green and Bruce Brown also.

Maybe we can pry Michael Redd away from TBT.

Final guess for fun (not what I would necessarily do but it's my guess of who we draft):
6: Cam (if medicals aren't an issue that plummets his stock)/Ausar if Cam's medicals don't check out
11: Bilal (WeHam just can't pass up on the freak athlete and measurements)
36: Dariq/Brice (If either fall)
