If we stay put at 14 it’s RJ Hampton, hoping we can strike a deal to move up. I expect both later picks to get dealt

OKC is killing it. Presti or whoever is calling the shots there is turning into Hinkie on steroids. He will probably somehow manage to trade Horford for an injured player and a first round pick after "rejuvenating him".

Once high schoolers enter the NBA draft, the picks in the top 5 lose perhaps something like 20% of their value while the picks later on in the draft increase in value. Not having that one year of college ball makes it tougher to predict who will be good in NBA players in many cases. The volume of picks OKC has right now is ridiculous but I'd advice their gm to just gather even more.

Hayward either the player or the TPE, and one of our late first rounder for Steven Adams.

Thunder want all the first rounders and we obviously have a disgruntled Hayward.

It makes WAY too much sense not to happen and at this point I'd be willing to throw in both late firsts just to avoid the massive leap backwards this team would take for losing Hayward for free or for someone on the level of a Danny Green player hahahahahhaha

Just putting it out there : I don't want us to use the 14 on Cole Anthony.
I've seen him linked to us in a couple of mocks.

Hasn't the draft started yet? Isn't the US no longer on DST? Asking for a friend living from the other side of the world.

I will be pissed if the Celtics don't draft a defensive big or at least a wing with good size tonight.

I've seen Dedmon linked as part of a Hawks package involving Hayward. Chuck that in if you're not too fussy.

I want Okongwu. I'm hoping the broken toe is part of a cunning plan to make him slide to 14.
Yes, I realise this is as likely as Fab Melo making next year's active roster, but it takes my mind off worrying we'll draft Guerson Yabasale again due to roster crunch.

Hearing RJ Hampton is the pick if they stay at 14. I'm ecstatic with that pick personally. Best athlete in the draft and high upside

Lets all take a moment to acknowledge the late Tommy Heinsohn as we enter the first draft without him in God knows how long.
hoist a beer. And Tommy if you can still bleed Green in the after life send us an allstar.

I'm okay with that. Showed some maturity (on court) over here I wasn't expecting, and combo of speed and length is legit.

I haven't seen enough of Carey to have an opinion, but the little I saw left me wondering if he really fits our system. Any thoughts?
