Hunter would've gone 4-6 anyway, seems to fit them well.

Really? I thought that Hunter was in the 8-10 range myself but who knows.

I know if Lakers kept the pick they were rumored to like him, and Atlanta does now too. Maybe if NO kept it he would've slid.

So let me get this right Phoenix has traded the #6 + #32 + TJ Warren for #12 + Dario Saric (thats due for an extension soon)?!

WHAT AM I MISSING?!

So Phoenix have moved Warren + #6 for Saric + #11?

Could work out amazingly well if they manage to sign D'Lo, and with the #11 they can take their pick of BPAs or high risk guys, like Bol, or maybe add more shooting with Herro?

Ayton
Saric/Bol
Bridges/Jackson
Booker
D'Lo

Can that leap them into the playoff picture?

Exactly, I'm confused. The only reason I think they had done it is to save some cap space to pursue D Lo but still they shouldn't have done these trades

Lots of confusing moves thus far

Even if they max DLO this still doesnt make no sense!

Hey all. Just wanted to peep in and say hey (I really have to change my profile pic :lol:

), hoping we draft a stud tonight! I think Bol would be great for us.

Those last minute updates are very revealing.

I've been all NAW for a long while now, but over the last couple of weeks I've been sliding a foot into Langford territory, too.

For some reason, I think he will be the pick. And I think he could have stud scoring potential.

Perfect opportunity to nab Garland with Atlanta wanting Hunter.

I really wonder what it would take..

Would you guys entertain Bamba for the #5 straight up if it guarantees Darius Garland?

Quick turn around for their rebuild instead of sticking with what hasn’t worked... go figure.

that’s what tankers and the “potential” crew were saying about Suns, TWolves etc etc etc

reality doesn’t care about draft hype...that’s why games are played

What does Atlanta making good draft selections and trading up for better value have to do with tanking? Atlanta seems to have a plan that’s paying off in a 2-3 years window. Orlando still has Hennigan guys... cool.

Cleveland trying to move out too?

Think Orlando can offer something?

Why Bol over Fall. Fall is a half-foot taller than Bol, stonger upper body, healthier, and a great kid.

Men, I attended every UCF home game this year and Fall dramatically changed the momentum of the game. Opposing
shooters freaked out seeing this beast around the basket. Opponent shooting % dropped significantly when Fall was in the game.

I like Langford's upside.

Elfrid got good news when the Pelicans traded the 4 pick.

in the west? doubtfully- that’s a really young team with no leader type and best guys are get-my-stats types plus 3-4 bad defenders in top 5-6 rotation

So, he can return to NOP as backup to Lonzo Ball?
