2018 Pick Watch (Philly, LAL 1 or 6-30, etc)

[Ericb5]

If you guys can choose between LA's pick (likely to stay with Philly) or the Sac pick next year, which one would you guys prefer?

Question from an outsider:

Considering you guys will have 2 FRP (most likely Lakers) plus 4 second round picks, do you think your FO will look to trade up, trade them for future picks or sell all those picks especially the 2nd rounders?

Is there a consensus on this board on how the team should move forward with 6 drafts picks without the room to sign them all?

Why are you Lakers people interested in the 76ers? Is it just a random thing or you guys have an eye on a few of our second round picks?

First, obviously, the 76ers has a high probability of getting our FRP this year.
Second, 76ers and the Lakers were brothers in tanking and rebuilding for a few years.
Lastly, I would love for the Lakers to add some of those 2nd rounders that you guys have.

Lakers are looking to add a few MAX guys then hopefully surround them with young and/or MLE cheap talent. We hope Magic/Pelinka continue to find gems in the 2nd round. 76ers are the perfect fit since you guys have a lot of 2nd rounders and your new GM doesnt seem to care much about 2nd rounder, at least previously, and much less than the genius Hinkie.

Well I’m sure that second rounders will be easy for you to acquire and i have no idea what we are going to do with ours. Second rounders are huge crapshoots though. Just finding a player that makes your roster is a successful pick, and getting a real rotation player out of the second round is hard to do.

For every Draymond Green, or Nikola Jokic there are 500 nobody’s.

After Doncic, who's the best PG prospect in 2018 and 2019 draft? Barett in 2019 is a SG right?

Any generational type players? Maybe Ayton in 2018 and Zion in 2019? I dont buy the hype in both for their dominance is being a man among boys compared to their competition which rarely translates in the NBA.

I hear you but dont you love it when you have a pick and can research what players might be a good fit for the team. Also, when the team picks someone you go around doing all the background study and research to see if the kid is legit, if you dont already know much about him. Love the underdog story and excitement of every late picking hoping to be the next Kuzma, Green or whoever.

I do love that for the first rounders. For the second rounders it is all after the pick when I learn about the guys though. I don’t spend enough time watching the fringe prospects unless they happen to be on the top teams, and at that point my track record of wanting specific players in the second round is abysmal.

Finding players in the second round is awesome when it happens.

Billy King, for all of his foibles, drafted Willie Green and Kyle Korver in the second round of the same draft, and Lou Williams in another.

Hinkie found Richaun Holmes, Jerami Grant, and KJ McDaniels(who’s now out of the league I think, but had a real shot), and then he found McConnell on the pure scrap heap!

I love it when guys like that carve out a role in the league.

Right on!!

Lakers picked recently:

1. Hart #30
2. Zubac #32
3. Nance Jr #27
4. Clarkson #46

I am hoping Thomas Bryant at #42 will turn into a gem.

I asked the same question on the Boston forum. It was just a "curiosity killed the cat" thing. I have no vested interest in it outside of that. I know people love this draft and are projecting next year's to be worse so having a pick at say 10 this draft may be better than say 5 next year.

1.) I'd prefer the Lakers pick. Value is relative and the team can fit young talent easier now than by 2019. There's also a certainty factor to it that Lakers pick is more certain to be a lottery pick than Kings in 2019.

2) not familiar with cap. But seems like trading up can save us money while I dont think we're interested in improving our depth, seems like everyone in this board has the BPA mentality

Wins by NYK and CHA tonight.

Probably want the Hornets to win tomorrow on their back to back and Dallas to trump the Lakers as well. The Pels over the Heat would be great not that that game is applicable to this thread.

[spikeslovechild]

Big game tonight LAL vs Dallas if the Lakers have any shot of getting into that 8 range they need to continue to lose

Looks unrealistic at this stage: on the plus side Tankathon has the Lakers having a reasonably tough schedule on the run in, unfortunately so do the Hawks, the Suns, the Kings and most crucially the Knicks. link

Lakers and 76ers have been draft rivals for several years. One picked behind the other 3 times straight and each naturally compares their pick to the other's.

This just seems like one of those "im going to check facebook to see how they are doing" type of posts.

Miles Bridges if he is there is easily the perfect pick, I would draft him top5 but if we trust insiders it seems like NBA teams are lower on him than that

In terms of fit/talent Mikal Bridges is the Bridges most of us want, but I also like Miles: do you think Miles is a four in the NBA?

Edit: I guess the question is can he play the four in the NBA - I'm trying to see who he replaces in our starting rotation long term.

Him being able to shoot off the dribble makes a huge difference. What do you think of his defense?

[TTPMike93]

With the pick currently around 10, what should the sixers do ? Should they trade their pick at around 17 and their lakers pick at around 10 to move into the top 5 ? Is this even possible ? What could they get for trading both the 10 and 17 pick

There's actually better value in the draft in that 10 - 17 range, I don't see any reason to move up unless there's a specific player who falls (ie Doncic, MPJ), however if that doesn't happen we can sit tight and pick up a premium wing and/or combo guy with our two picks.

[Sixerscan]

Not sure why someone would trade back from 5 to 10 for only the 17th pick unless they thought they could get a top 5 guy at 10.

[Wilfried]

Think #8 is the highest that package would get you
