I want Smith/Banchero and Ivey would be awesome. I know it's not possible lol, but to somehow trade back in for Ivey would be great.

Trade 1: OKC #2 and #12 for #1

Draft Jabari/Banchero

Trade 2: Anthony + Ross + #12 for #4 + Fillers

Fultz/Suggs
Ivey/Hampton/Harris*
Wagner/Okeke
Smith
WCJ/Bamba*

*If resigned


Probably not even close to value, but something around that would be good

Even on that podcast, they said they couldn't confirm if the rumor was real. Can't spread fake news.

It's a rumor. They said 50/50 it was true because they couldn't substantiate it yet. They also couldn't disclose the person they got the info from.

I heard Mike Tuck on 96.9 saying Banchero was measured 6'10.5" without shoes. No one questioned him at all about that. He doesn't look 2 inches bigger than Wendell and I don't know where the measurements came from so I ignore that.

I think it's more likely the Magic invited some Auburn alumni to the draft than the Banchero rumor.

Jabari posted a pic on his IG about the potential of him being the first #1 pick from Auburn.

you can see pictures of Paolo next to Williams who measured 7'2 in shoes. i fully believe he is 6'10.5 barefoot.

question, is there a pic of Wendell next to Paolo? how do you know he doesnt look 2 inches bigger than WCJ?

Just looking at them. I'd buy that Paolo might be close to that with shoes but I don't believe he's close to 7' with shoes.

If he is 6'10 1/2 w/o shoes, that's scary.

If we picked anywhere else in the draft he would be my #1 choice. I watched a ton of videos on him before the lottery. That's why I'm not totally opposed to getting the #3 and #17 for the 1st pick. I don't want Chet because he's going to get pushed around.

What smoke? We would've never known he was here if someone didn't take pics of him. He also told a reporter he was coming here.

Seriously? You ask that with a straight face?

Lemme give some examples of "smoke".. and most of these are posted by you:

1.) Chet and his agent prefers OKC
2.) Chet isn't releasing his medicals
3.) Chet "could" have Marfan Syndrome
4.) Anyone add some more?

Seriously, if it was Paolo that was gaining steam, you would bash him more than Chet

That's the thing I quite don't understand....like why does someone has to be put down to raise another up? Especially when the player you're bashing or going out of your way to mention anything that could be considered negative could very well end up being picked....what would you do then? NOT cheer for him? Like really? Listen I have my favorite but I would be content with any of these prospects we can utilize all of them in one way or another.

I've posted good and bad with all the players. I did post my opinions on Chet because I don't think everyone looks deep enough into his stats. I've heard 25% better than Gobert and Durant on offense. I think we'll be disappointed if we think he'll be those players.

People here constantly bash Jabari too. I've heard him being compared to Marvin Williams, Frank Kaminsky, and Channing Frye.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but I was speaking more so in general....you can't help but see some of the things said about these, and this is the most important part, KIDS!!! Scrutinize their games sure but some things said have nothing to do with that and I can't rock with that.....but to my earlier point, this time frame is nothing but smoke and mirrors, subterfuge if you will....a bunch of "reports" and rumors based off second and third hand accounts....what chet said out of his own mouth is enough for me, I'm just going to let weltham do their jobs and not worry about it for now

I compared his block and steal rate to Bamba. I compared Bol Bol and Chet's body type.

They are all good prospects, I just have Jabari higher than anyone else.
