all your faith in Wiseman must come from the extensive film study you've seen of his . . . 8 games?

I'm pretty confident in this one, in case you were talking to me Zero.

You can hate on me if you like. No worries there.

But if Myers has the opportunity, and we pass on him, then it will be a huge mistake. IMO

Now if there's a big time trade in the works surrounding the pick, then of course I might have to rethink the situation. I'm just going purely on who I would take #1.

Big men do take longer to get it going in the NBA, but with our vets — running the floor, setting good screens, catching lobs and boards is all we need

I really like Gary Trent Jr. always liked him when he was a freshman at duke. Solid, smart shooting guard who is a tough defender. Been watching him for the Blazers and he’s nice in his bench role.

I’d trade Poole for him in a heartbeat (although I do like Poole as a gunner off the bench).

What do people think about trading for Bamba? I think he is a year or two away from really establishing himself as a good player, so it's a good time to buy low. I like him as a potential center of the future, and he can stretch the floor.

I'm okay with Mo Bamba, but it depends on what "assets" we are giving up to bring him in. I think we have enough projects, and need some 2020-21 contributors.

Watching his game against Atlanta, he got blocked by Trae, then by Teague.

Then hit 3 3s

Was weird

Bamba is really slow. He should really focus on that 3 ball and blocking shots, that's his niche, Brook Lopez like.

What do people think of getting Rudy Gay with our TPE? He has good size, is a capable defender, and should be relatively cheap to acquire.

Are the Spurs desperate for cap space this summer? If so, we'll take him if they give us a pick, and he can back up and mentor Wiggins and Paschall. Otherwise, hard pass.

anyone thinks Philly would be interested in pairing former Kansas teammates Embiid & Wiggins in a Ben Simmons trade?

1. I prefer Embiid. I don't know if they'd still want to do the deal in that case.
2. Unless Embiid or Simmons demands a trade, I think their preferred remedy is to fire Brown.
