Conceptually it would make sense, but historically with Kupchak (and Cho before him) we've had no idea what they were thinking before the made their pick so the fact that it's out at all makes me think it's not true.

Stuff doesn't tend to leak out of our FO.

I want my team to draft Wiseman, but there's a report true or not that Wiseman doesn't want to go to the Wolves and share the frontcourt with KAT. 3 and your next years barely protected #1 would get the job done if I were the GM. That or Washington, but I know you would be less likely to part with him.

We are not in any position to part with a first round pick. Both propositions are just horrible for us and I don’t think we do either.

I think that 0 people on the board are behind the idea of trading a future pick to get Wisemen. Lots of posters here interested in him though.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

If it's lottery to top 10 protected, I'm down to do that. No chance I trade an unprotected 1st in 2021 or 2022 though

Our next year's "barely protected #1" for lateral movement within the top tier? That's not happening. Also doesn't explain MJ's visit to Edwards for a private workout. Owner doesn't get out of his chair for smokescreens. We're not Wiseman or bust.

If they support it they're sniffing glue.

Proposed on the trade board:

GSW out wiggins/2
GSW in horford/3

CHA out batum/3
CHA in Wiggins/2/21/34

PHI out horford/21/34
PHI in batum

Thoughts? I might do it.

I think Philly might do it, we would more than likely do it, but GSW would back out. Horford is not an answer there.

I like this, sign me up! With pick 21 I would target Tyrell Terry, Seddiq Bey, or Jaden McDaniels.

I'm wary of drafting another Klutch/Rich Paul client given that we're a small market team and they might ask for an unreasonable contract exten$$$ion.

Market determines those things, not the agent.

Lavar Ball said he wants Lamelo to play for Detroit Pistons or New York Knicks. They'd almost assuredly have to trade up for that to happen.
