Today we ended up with the #4 pick (OKC) and the #18 pick (MIA). Order was:
1 - HOU
2 - DET
3 - MIN
4 - OKC
5 - ORL
6 - CLE
7 - TOR
8 - NO
9 - SAC
10 - ORL (CHI)
In this scenario, I think we keep 4 and draft whoever comes to us. We'd end up with one of Green/Mobley/Suggs. I think MIN will try to trade their pick, but I can't imagine we'd be able to pull it in without giving up SGA or #4 and moving up would likely be too expensive for just 1 slot.
One top 5 pick is all I ask for
If a team like Cleveland, Minny or Houston gets the 2nd pick and doesn't want to draft Mobley, I could see us moving up from 4 to 2 for a fair price. If we don't get a top 5 pick it's kind of over.
Hope we can find a trade partner to move up some slots from the Miami pick. Gs might be a good trade partner to move up 4 spots if they don't get lucky in the draft (maybe hornets?)
If we miss on Mobley, I feel one of Sengun or Garuba gonna be a thunder next season
