Almost like the frontoffices know more than everyone else or something...

I just don’t understand the logic for Portland unless there’s trades in the works

They have Clingan, Ayton, Williams, Reath and now Yang

You know Weltman was going to pick him. That means a player will fall to us.

Are the Magic getting punked? Magic type player Coward acquired using their trade assets. Chinese prospect with connection to Weltman picked at 16, which was the magic's initial draft position...

Ayton, Williams and Reath are all in the last year of their deals and probably won't be back after this season.

Man Jakucionis would be awesome value IMO. Great PnR player.

Newell would be very interesting as an energy 4/5 with a chance to space the floor.

Memphis is making a bad move with two of the picks they acquired from The Magic.

I kinda liked the thought of swinging for the fences on Yang at #25 and the fact that Portland took him that high makes me wish he fell.
