I wonder what the asking price would be to move up a spot or two

I think if Bender is available at Sacramento's pick, they'd jump at the chance to take him.

I think if anyone falls to us, it's Jaylen Brown. He apparently performed poorly in draft workouts, and also rubbed some teams the wrong way with his attitude.

I don't like Deyonta Davis but I'll take him over Poeltl, Sabonis any day & probably Skal too and not that I ever condone picking out of need of the roster but if we can't in fact keep Biz, he'll be able to fulfill to some extent some of what we'd lose (but polar opposite of the emotion and passion Biz brings to the court).

I was absolutely disgusted by how Vivek didn't let Pete D'alessandro do his job by taking Nik Stauskas over Elfrid Payton. It later came out that the guy Pete wanted was Payton but I blame Pete as well for not standing up for the guy he wanted instead of just agreeing with Vivek. If you're an agent watching that video and with everything that went on with the coach and star player last year, why would you bring your client into that mess?
Want: Trae Young, Michael Porter Jr., DeAndre Ayton, Jaren Jackson Jr, Marvin Bagley III, Mohamad Bamba, Shai Gilgeous- Alexander, Elie Okobo, Jevon Carter

Wraps_fan wrote:I don't want Bender unless the Raptors know for sure they can get someone to fill in as a stop-gap for 1 year until Bender is ready. Dude will still be 18 by the time the season starts, that's **** ridiculous and I don't want an 18 year old to be getting important minutes when we have to be winning as many games as possible.

I understand his potential, I understand how valuable a guy like him would be, but man... We're a contender, players either get playing time for us and contribute in a positive way, or they have to ride the bench, we're in no position to let players learn through mistakes, we need wins

Uhhm that's very bad aproach. In that case we must trade the pick or pick Sabonis, which is not ideal move if there is someone like Bender on the board.

I think they're in a point of drafting something that will make an immediate impact on their roster.

Bender is too much of a project imo due to his age. Unless they're looking him like a JV project like we did.

Baldwin makes sense if they're losing Rondo this year.
