2020 Draft Day Discussion

[driveandkick]

Keep it mind the reality of the situation:

You can't just take player A and trade down for player B. So many things have to fall into place to make that work

Making the trade before that team picks puts you at risk of not getting the guy you targeted

Picking their guy for them puts you at risk of being stuck with the guy you don't want

It's a difficult play that gets even more so the further apart the picks are

My stance on trading down is this:

NFL: it's a great thing that any team should do as often as possible (ahem, Marty Hurney)

NBA: it's a mistake barring an absolute kings ransom treasure chest of assets from a depserate team

If we really don't want Ball I hope we make that Detroit trade. Okongwu/Hayes/Haliburton can be had at 7, and Bey/Maxey/Vassel/Pokusevski/Terry can be had at 16

silver said he's not allowed to tweet draft picks before they're announced this year lol

I'm likely going to check out of RGM shortly until after the draft.

I like my draft night experience to be fresh and breaking and not have Twitter spoilers etc ruin the experience for me - and every year we ask that people don't post spoilers, yet people post spoilers!!

Happy Draft Night you crazy, crazy Hornut RGM posters!!

last time you were fresh Tupac was alive and Cosby was still on tv.

I would love either OO or wiseman

Go figure the year we consider taking a killian hayes with pick 3 we would have had him fall to us at our usual pick 9 range

[BlackOutBuzz]

Draft memories - I remember in 2016 when I was down to wanting us to pick either Brogdon and Zubac, I went to a wings place to watch the draft, and while I was sitting there before the draft I learned that we traded the pick for Marco.

That was my least enjoyable draft watching experience.

I went to a draft party hosted by the Greensboro Swarm that year. They were holding a contest to guess who the Hornets would take and the trade had already happened; I broke the bad news.

These young mens lives are gonna change so much after tonight. Even the women who interview them are gonna be gorgeous. Being poor I never had an interviewer who looked like this. My interviewer looked like he coulda been the "61st" pick in the NBA draft.

I bet he's thinking. I like the Lakers.

I've had to deal with hot reporters, the hotter they are the less I trust them. They will try to flirt all the intel out of you

I neva knew you were a baller

ESPN just described Josh Green as a player who spent a fair bit of his time in Australia before moving to America.

No he is an Aussie born and bred, who moved to America in his late teens for basketball schooling.
