Yeah, sitting pretty for Portland...I still think Queen could be more of a PHX type pick.

I'll find a way to complain, believe me--even if I like the pick. :lol:

There's a non-zero chance that Case threatens to murder someone.

I wonder if Cronin/Schmitz view Noa as a "win now" piece?

I'm not against trading down, but actually like Case I am fearful of doing it with OKC lol.

I’d be shocked if it was Coward, Jakucionis would be the pick IMO, maybe Bryant, Essengue would be a mild surprise

Trade down with OKC for 15/24?

So PHX trading for Mark Williams...Maluach is still a good pick for them.

TAKE THE SWING!! Honestly I'm fine with Noa, Carter or Coward which means odds are high they will either bust or be skipped over because I'm terrible.

Mal goes to Houston...

Blazers could go anywhere now... Noa, Carter or KJ...

Agreed with TSE, if Blazers could trade down to 15 and get a few other FRPs... at least 1 of 3 might still be there.
