Is that your account? Whoever it is, dude is real nuts for Chet. Even has a post about Chet signing his name with a star and mentions it being a sign he's perfect for the Magic instead of a sign that Chet is a 14 year old girl mentally.

I can vouch that basketballRob is 100% team Smith.

yup from lurking orlando forum I know basketballRob is Jabari biggest fan. Hope fans from both sides get what they want

I have a hunch we take Ivey at 2. I won't be mad at all. I'd rather have Chet. But between him and Chet it's a draw to me. Unless Orlando takes Chet. Then I want Smith.

Funny that most of us think that. Probably because we know Presti doesn't care about "consensus" board (even if I think Ivey is higher than #4 for most GMs), the Westbrook pick and the fact that Ivey looks like a Presti guy (Chet too though).

Do you have Ivey over Jabari? My heart says Ivey but brain tells me not to mess up and pick Jabari

I don't mind Ivey at all but gonna need to wait a long time before having a decent frontcourt if we pick him (drafting Ivey would open the door to a Dort trade too).

Man it's tough. I have Jabari/Ivey about even with Jabari having the slight edge because of his shooting. We're in a very good spot. I'll be happy with any of Chet/Jabari/Ivey.

The caption is really funny. IF anything he looks like he put on the gear before or after heading to the facility for the workout so he'd have to spend as little time as possible in there. I don't blame him. It's got to be awkward as hell working out for dudes you don't expect to pick you.

weirdest mock draft I have seen so far

Historically they have been pretty alright. But yeah, that’s a weird one.

I think that guy is affiliated with a local radio show that covers the Magic. That's how they get inside info on where Chet was and yes they're crazy for Chet.

Lets get Weird. Wow

Paolo and Wesley would be interesting. ill tell you this much they could run the two man game pretty good on the offensive end.

Ivey would be an interesting choice. The Thunder tried to convince him to stay in the draft last year.

This would basically set the backcourt unless the idea is to play Shai and Giddey at the forward spots.

[Balkman32]

So the Dort rumor it from the Portland side of things. It sounds more like a wish than anything. I just don't see the Thunder moving him unless it gets them a guy they really want.

Dame likes him as a defender

according to Jake Fischer*

Looks like Portland fans hate this potential trade way more than thunder fans.

That’s wild that Portland wouldn’t be thrilled to add Dort and #12 for #7.

They are going to over pay Simons are trade Dame by ‘24. So best of luck to them…

Worth noting. Surprisingly low amount of chatter about the pellies. Could be a sign that they've kept their mouths shut in accordance with OKCs usual hush hush demands from their trade partners.

Maybe I'm reading that wrong but it comes across to me as "i don't need to go work out for number 8 if I'm getting picked at 7". Possibly the trade is with PDX? Of course we've traded with NO fairly recently too and they are also in a hurry to win.

He knows Presti gonna pick him at 2

[Dadouv47]

NOLA could really use Micic...not enough to move up but that's a start.

I'm ok gambling on Sharpe but I don't want to overpay for it. I just don't like his overall behavior (kentucky stuff was weird, the way he's handling his predraft process is terrible). Not a Presti kind of guy so I guess he thinks Sharpe is gonna be elite if he's willing to draft him.
