We probably have more than one deal on the table to move up if we agree to absorb salary. Wasn't the rumor that we'd be operating as an over the cap team in 2018-19 anyway?

That was after the Booker trade, but then Okafor and Stauskus were duds. They'll renounce all FAs except Harris and have about $14mil in cap room.

There's been rumors going in every direction lately, but yeah, it looks more like Marks will attempt to absorb some bad salary to get in the teens.
Also, Woj just tweeted that teams outside the top 4 are starting to make aggressive offers to get into that range for J3 after some supposedly incredible workouts lately. I've been saying it for awhile, he's the guy I'd take #1 in this draft. Probably Doncic 2nd, then either Bagley or Bamba. Ayton is a distant 5th for me.
Not that we'll be able to move that high anyway.

He's raw but I don't think we have anyone with that kind of elite athleticism besides LeVert and possibly, Allen. We need somebody who can come in and just energize the game with some force. I'd love someone like Omari Spellman here.
Harris, Carroll, Crabbe, Russell, Dinwiddie, Lin....six guards that do not play above the rim whatsoever healthy or not. We gotta fix that somehow.

Playing above the rim as a point guard is stupid and will just lead to injuries. Give me a dude with actual basketball skills instead of Diallo who is raw as sashimi any day.

We have enough "skill" and not enough natural talent to play our system. I'm gladly taking an athlete like Diallo if we don't move up. Elite athleticism like that usually helps translates to good defense, transition baskets, etc. Everything we preach offensively. I don't see how he isn't a fit there especially in the 2nd round. He's way better than re-signing Nik or Milton Doyle.
Most of these names we are discussing here are unrealistic until we move up, including Musa.

only he didnt defend/score in transition or that kind of thing in college. athletic ability only helps if the guy is skilled enough to be on the floor. i fear that he isnt.
