Re: The Draft Thread 3: #1 Pick Discussion
If we would acquire the 4th pick to go along with the 1st, would you guys rather take Ayton at 1 and hope for Luka to drop to 4 (or pick Young etc if he doesn't) or take Luka at 1st and the best available big at 4?

With the announcement of the Green Room invitees, I think we are choosing between Holiday, Smith, and Donte............

That's tough. I wouldn't have high confidence Doncic would be at 4 so I might go Doncic and hope JJJ made it to 4. If he didn't I'd be disappointed though...but Bamba wouldn't be a bad consolation even though I might be tempted to go Carter who I feel is really underrated.
Then again, if you were certain Doncic would be there, probably gotta go Ayton at 1.

Do you think we tell the NBA front office who we are taking? Give them our big board?

Re: The Draft Thread 3: #1 Pick Discussion
Yeah I would quite comfortably take Luka 1st, as I see him being >> to any perimeter player in the draft, whereas the big boys run much closer in value (and I would personally take JJJ before Ayton anyways). Just interested to hear how others view this.bwgood77 wrote:Foliohattu wrote:If we would acquire the 4th pick to go along with the 1st, would you guys rather take Ayton at 1 and hope for Luka to drop to 4 (or pick Young etc if he doesn't) or take Luka at 1st and the best available big at 4?

This is a business BW. The NBA Draft is a BIG part of their off-season and everyone involved want it to be must watch TV. This is about making money. You best believe the NBA has some insight on who is going where and when, because they damn sure don't pull names out of a hat. Plenty of hints have been dropped. Don't forget, everybody has friends and family and connections and they talk.
I knew about Paul Richardson Jr. going to Washington before it was a done deal, because his dad and I are like brothers. I knew about what was going to happen to Dez Bryant before it happened as well, because that info was a part of Jr's negotiation with Dallas before he signed with Washington, I only told one very close friend of mine who is a Cowboys fan. The info floats around bigtime, it depends on who has knowledge. I am sure McD's family know who we are taking and some close friends of theirs. No body is that tight lipped, plus most close friends get info because these guys are human, they talk like regular people.
Of course the Suns FO won't tell, but I am sure they got a hunch from somewhere. They don't need anyone's big board, just and idea on who is going early.....they know.

Ayton #1, than Luka. Luka has a strong possibility to slide, Ayton doesnt.

Either his vision isn't as good as advertised or he doesn't care about following the law. This clearly shows a blatant disregard for authority and disrespect for the nation he is living in. Keep this kid out of Phoenix.
Too many people have put this kid on a pedal stool when players like him are a diamond dozen. For all intensive purposes its a blessing in. The skies that we can't trade up for him. I worry luka is just another pre-madonna that will take his natural ability for granite.

LOL! That was too easy. I told you guys they were appealing to the younger generation, at least that is their goal. Get the new faces of NBA franchises and sign a Hip Hop Magnet.

Yeah, I knew we were taking Amare well before the fact, but it's still all just an educated guess. Like the fact he came in twice to work out for us. How many teams they've worked out for, and they get more whispers than we do about who had good workouts and stuff. It's just the way you wrote it made it sound like the NBA office knew who was going at each pick or something.

Oh. Nah. That would be foolish. How did you know about Amare?
