Mavs, Magic and Nuggets all trying to move up to 3 to take Doncic

Don't see what the Mavs or Nuggets could give. With Orlando the discussion would start with 6 and Isaac.

Better yet, let's not trade at all. I'd rather just take Luka.

All of them has little to no cap space, their next year pick isn't going to be good anyway and I think we keep that pick unless they do a deal is going to change this team course and I don't see anybody like that. We got four draft picks and I don't think we need anymore.

Half these dudes will be pullin' a Vince Carter by midseason. I get all the flash and whatnot but there's a reason adidas, Nike are worn by most players. There is a discernible difference in product. JMEO

I dunno man I’m down with Puma and the new movement. Always loved Nike myself but at some point they need to be stopped!

I dunno man I’m kinda down with Puma and the new Jay-Z movement. I mean I’ve always liked Nike but they need to be stopped! They are too big (that’s what she..) I hate under armour too. Lotta fat guys at the gym where them and it’s contradicting what their belly is telling me...

On Instagram,

Deandre Ayton's girlfriend will be cool calm collective.

M Bagley's girl on Instagram won't be able to handle the industry.

These rumors are getting heavy. I always figured we wanted Young, so trading back if Doncic is on the table is a tough pill to swallow.

Put sell 3 for a King's Ransom. Not 3 and Dennis for 6, fillers, and the OKC 2021 1st.

Young won't make it in the league.

90% confident that Young will be the pick. No doubt in my mind that he's been the guy all this time. Bummer

I hope Schlenk is just trying to build the best offer possible like a future top 3 protected pick. I'm set with Doncic, though I can see if they project him as a Mike Miller 2.0 which isn't bad, but should be traded out of.

I said months ago that I was fearing an ego problem from Schlenck pushing him to build like GSW as much as he can, and that it would mean he would select Trae Young because he's the closest thing to Curry, not because it's the best player :-)
