Get the feeling draft night could be a lot busier for us from stand point of trades.

Overall good night yesterday with us losing, Cavs/Magic/Kings winning.

Magic probably won't win a lot of games anymore though (no clue about the cavs, gonna be difficult as well even if they will probably keep the guys that are playing right now)

Also, pacers, raptors and even looking at last nights game as a positive not just because we lost but because Memphis won. It’s probably best to not worry about the rockets, pistons and wolves and just make sure we don’t get overtaken by some of these other teams.

It just doesn’t feel like any move will drastically change much right now. These team is still going to play hard. None of our guys will return assets to get excited about right now nor make us that much worse. It could be fun for some other teams just as a fan of the league in general.

Feel like Hill may end up staying depending on Lowry/Powell trades (or we will have to sell really low)

I don’t think there is a big difference between selling high and low on Hill.

Hill is the 6ers backup plan. They need Thybull against Brooklyn. The Thunder are probably going after the '27 FRP.

Don't think we will get a FRP...

Yeah Hill is their back up plan. Guess he's going to the Sixers if they aren't trading for Lowry/Powell. If not, probably the Clippers for two 2nds.

If they move Lauri for Lonzo, then I guess that gets them in the playoffs but don't see that group having a high ceiling unless Patrick Williams blows up

Wowser. Makes sense. Bulls fans have been drooling over any high post threat for a couple years now. Wendell has sucked.

Seems low if those are Boston 2nds, guess it depends on who the matching salary is unless they're getting him in that TPE spot

Surely Dallas would beat that.

The Fournier for two 2nds would set the market for hill, right? How many seconds does Presti want at this point?

And the Thunder are... I have no idea what they're doing. Some extremely mixed signals.

It feels like they're banking on making some offers that teams can't refuse come draft day. But to do that requires pole position that they don't have. It's vexing.

Step away from the ledge. It isn’t that bad.

To be a little more precise, I think Chicago is going for keeping Zach Lavine happy.
