Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
I’ve talked myself into being happy with ball, but again I’m totally against spending youth to get him.

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
Hey guys, lets face it were getting old. More than likely we're all gonna fall asleep and not even make it till the 3rd pick. I have an idea, since we're all washed up, we can watch the draft in 5 minute increments. Then after you do your 5 minutes you are free to fall asleep. Then together we will report back tomorrow about our draft experience. Hopefully your 5 minutes at least contains a pick because it would be awfly embarrassing if all you reported back were the commercials lol.

These are who I want with our picks in order
THEM - Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen
UNCNYC - Arthur Agee, William Gates

That was my least enjoyable draft watching experience.
I remember taking off work and telling the girl I was seeing at the time that I was completely unavailable. I was picking up some wings and all excited when I saw we had traded the pick. What a bummer of a day. I don't think we even had a 2nd that year if I remember correctly.

Also that Wolves team would get even worse defensively. Incredible.

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
I don't buy it. Wolves are pushing Ball bids because they plan to trade him.
We have two freaking PG on the roster and one is a top 10 playmaker at 25 years old.
MJ went to personally visit our guy Edwards and Edwards blew our cover on social media.
We've been blowing smoke ever since.
Edwards, Edwards, Edwards!

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
I'll say it for the 1000th time. We're taking whoever falls to us at 3 out of Wiseman, Edwards, or Ball. And I don't want to hear any complaining, because WE CAN'T PICK ONE OF THE OTHER TWO. We have the third pick, that's how sequential numbering works.
Who I woulda took:
2023: Miller | 2022: Duren | 2021: Bouknight, Jones | 2020: Ball | 2019: PJ | 2018: MPJ | 2017: Monk | 2016: Damian Jones | 2015: Winslow | 2014: Vonleh, Napier | 2013: McLemore | 2012: MKG | 2011: Knight, Kawhi
2023: Miller | 2022: Duren | 2021: Bouknight, Jones | 2020: Ball | 2019: PJ | 2018: MPJ | 2017: Monk | 2016: Damian Jones | 2015: Winslow | 2014: Vonleh, Napier | 2013: McLemore | 2012: MKG | 2011: Knight, Kawhi

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
If this is what the bulls want we should take it at 3 if we get ball and draft deni with wcj...that works out great for us.MasterIchiro wrote:Braggins wrote:My 11th hour hot take is that I can't tell what is smoke and what is fire and have no idea what I think is going to happen in this draft. I haven't felt so in the dark about whats really going on with any draft in recent memory.
Edit: It almost seems like teams have mostly been gunning for Wiseman this entire time.
I will give you a sneak peek at my final top 5:
1 - Ball (not sure if Wolves keep or trade)
2 - Wiseman (Warriors)
3 - Edwards (Hornets)
4 - Avdija (Bulls)
5 - Toppin (Cavs)
Notes:
Bulls want to trade up for Ball (offering WCJ + 4 while Wolves want Lauri + 4)
Knicks want to trade up for Toppin (8 + 23)
Celtics want to trade up for Wiseman (Marcus Smart into the Warriors trade exception)
Thunder want to trade up for Nesmith (25 + 28, trying to swing 18 in sign-and-trade for Gallo
Risers: Saddiq Bey, Jalen Smith, Desmond Bane

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
cause I'm pessimistic, I think we are trading Miles to get Ball.
I hope we have a good trade lined up for Rozier (of course we don't)

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
Apparently Klay got injured today. It is possible then that GS goes Edwards at 2?

2023: Miller | 2022: Duren | 2021: Bouknight, Jones | 2020: Ball | 2019: PJ | 2018: MPJ | 2017: Monk | 2016: Damian Jones | 2015: Winslow | 2014: Vonleh, Napier | 2013: McLemore | 2012: MKG | 2011: Knight, Kawhi
