GSW will get more offers like this today. I will agree that the pressure is on today. My main thoughts is that GSW will select Wiseman but is open to trade him for the best deal. The Warriors need to add to their bench mostly and perhaps get a solid starter out of it to help re-bolster their team for the upcoming season.

I'm going to be watching Ball highlight videos all day to prepare myself mentally in case things go that way. Don't anyone dare send me a breakdown video or weakness video, only hype videos allowed.

I'd move Miles before I moved Monk and a pick (Miles fits MIN way better too) but I'm all in for Wiseman at this point. Do what needs to be done, just don't give up a top 5 pick in next year's draft.

Pretty sure that we already debunked this guy. Scroll down his timeline and see all the shady PS4 stuff.

Anyway the team might trade up, but this isn't the guy who will tell us that.

Yeah he also tweeted we talked with Boston about a kemba rozier swap. I had to look 7 times to make sure it wasn't a retweet from a year ago

I am not totally sold that the Bulls are after Wiseman, I believe they have always and still like Ball. I think they thought like most people that Edwards goes #1, Wiseman goes #2, and then Jordan passes on Ball. Now that Jordan has publicly given his blessing to draft Ball, Chicago is like WTH, and is now trying to move up in front of Charlotte

Well they can give us Wendell Carter and 4 for the 3rd pick if they want.

I just do not see Ball going to Charlotte. With the stupid sht that Lavar kept going about with MJ a couple of years ago, I can't see any room for two egos here. Too much of a distraction to select the son of the father who tends to bring too much dramatic flair to any situation.

You can keep doing you. I still can't see that.

With LaMelo, for his potential to attack the basket and dime dish to his teammates, he has many flaws in his game that needs to be work. defense, perimeter shooting, maturity, and effort. My thoughts is that he needs to be drafted by a team with an established veteran like Washington or the Suns for instance. Learn from guys like CP3 or John Wall(when healthy) and grow his game from there. If a team chose to draft him on the basis of putting butts in seats and have him start without a plan. That has the potential to blow like what happen with Lonzo in L.A.(Albeit LBJ's high calibur status help ushered the young guys out). The Hornets do not have a nestablish vet at the PG spot. For that reason, I can't see Melo as a future Hornet.

I have a nervous stomach today. Hopefully, we end up with Wiseman, Edwards or Deni is we stay put or Hayes/Haliburton if we trade down. Wouldnt really mind getting Westbrook too if they are paying us with a pick for the salary dump.

It just seems to me like Minny wants a future 1st, either Miles or Monk, and #3 and we're unwilling to part with the future 1st. (Keep in mind the Luka-Trae a few years ago).

It looks like we'll have LaMelo at the end of the night.

Yes, I would do that quickly before they changed their minds. I would probably take Haliburton at 4

Warming up to LaMelo. I think his playmaking may unlock Miles and PJ. It will cause Devonte and Rozier to not have the primary playmaking responsibilities. And imagine him and Monk just wreaking havoc attacking the basket. His size will also be a benefit to our smaller backcourt.
Yeah, he has warts but everyone does. I'm just happy we get a shot at one of these 3.
The trade up rumors are 100% generated by Minnesota. They want to drum up interest.
