After seeing the draft lottery results, I’m not confident in tanking just to keep our top 4 protected pick from OKC next season.

I’m not %100 sold on SA taking Harper. Aren’t he and Fox almost the same player? Then throw Castle in the mix.
always a jump shot away.

That was always a ridiculous strategy.

Just know that Morey is going to call Nico about the #1 pick.

Point taken. Honestly I picked a name. Queen to me is the love child of Wayman Tisdale and Zachary Randolph. I like him, but at like 10 in this draft. I am genuinely interested in who some of you think we should take at 3. Do we go with Edgecombe? I've always said pick the most talented player and figure it out later.

There’s a significant gap between the top 2 and the rest. Picks 3, 4, and 5 feel about the same to me. The best available at those spots, in my view, are Kasparas, Maluach, and Tre Johnson.

I'm apart of Positivity FC now, we were given a gift to even hold onto this pick. I want an impact player at #3 considering drafting has been the only thing we've done really well in the Morey era.

Because I trust Morey's drafting so much, I'm very curious to see if he will actually take Bailey.

Hard agree, my only rule for this team from now on is that Morey is banned from trading picks.

Bailey stans, it's time for mass propaganda, share all and share everything that details why he's been consistently rated in the top three.

Brother Harper is being traded to Milwaukee for the obvious Giannis trade.

Connect the dots bro this league is rigged. They setting up playoff teams lol

Even Philly got a piece of the action.

RIP Hornets/Jazz/Wizards irrelevant franchises with no following. :lol:

The last time we had pick #3 and used it -> Joel Embiid [edit: completely trauma blocked Jah from my mental...]
The last time we had pick #3 and traded it -> Markelle Fultz

food for thought Yannis truthers
