Check out his dad :sigh: Hope we are trading him. Sexy pick if we keep it... but not smart at all IMO.

HERE is where the draft gets interesting, IMO. Who goes after Amen?

Probably time for Simons to start packing.

See, I disagree. I was way more interested in the pick before Amen.

We all knew it was going to be who Charlotte didn't pick.

Seriously, Ausar is the better player. I 100% believe he's going to be the better pro.

It's still the only pick I really care about.

That's gotta feel special to go back to back with your brother, though...

So far pretty much holding to form. Which team breaks first with a crazy reach?

Blazers should either combine #23 pick with Simons for some upgrade or I'm all in on taking Clowney or Murray with that pick

Will be an interesting night. Is dame gone? Anf? Scoot? Lots going on here, on one hand I want to keep Scoot on the other hand if we do the zion trade we don't diminish Dames value

Damn. Black is going to CRUSH on Orlando. He's going to be in ROY conversations, despite the league already giving it to Wemby.

Agree, I love this pick for them.

Ant should be gone.

You keep Scoot and Dame. Functionally Scoot is actually bigger than Jalen Green who everyone accepts is a true SG (Not saying Scoot is a SG, but he can play some)

Scoot is 6’2, 6’9 WS, 195lbs
Green is 6’4, 6’7 WS, 178lbs

You let him run the 2nd unit and play 12-15mpg with Dame off ball.

Well we got our De’Aron Fox a great potential Lillard replacement that fits Sharpes timeline. I think this is bye bye Dame.

I think we should still keep Ant and have him be our super sub in a year when Sharpe and Scoot are the starters.

Scoot is gonna contribute immediately probably ROY. We just need to trade Dame for a collection of picks and front court young players.

I can only imagine how hot the phones are right this minute for Cronin. Gonna be an interesting next couple days, regardless of what happens. Very concerned. I want to trust Cronin....
