Would love to have him. We would need the Knicks to get a top 3 pick and trade AD to them. Supposedly they say in order for the Knicks offer to be enticing to us, they have to get 1 or 2.

If the Pels land any of the top-3 draft spots I'd have to consider that a win.

I haven't seen the top guys play enough to have an educated opinion about one over another, but based on what I have seen and what I've read, I'd be happy if we could land one of them to pair with Jrue and Tatum (and/or whoever else we get for AD).

I like him as a better fit than Zion, personally.



Zion is a freak but his weight and that athleticism worries me for future injuries

I think he is a better fit to if we keep Gentry as coach

I’d jizz my pants. In all honesty I feel like he might be the better of the two duke guys in the long run

Some compare him to Westbrook or a better DeAaron Fox/Dangelo Russell

That's pretty damn high praise

If you're sticking with Jrue he's probably the best natural fit in the early draft to pair him with.

You'd have to worry about the diverging career timelines, but it has the potential to be a lethal combo to build around if Ja develops quickly(and finds a consistent three point shot) and Jrue stays in his peak for a few more seasons.

We won't know until we give AD food poison. So he can sit out the next 20 days

He's a better shot than Rodman but not as good a shot as the best 10th graders in catholic league of New Orleans.

I'd rather barret or morant.

Morant is electric.
Shoots like curry.
Passes like bob cousy.
He's CP3 lite.

His team sucks (best forward out for season) but his coach is playing him 40 minutes a game. He plays every second.
It's a sin if you ask me.

Has everything but a shot. His shot takes a very long time to get off.

or you could just get Dennis Smith Jr (a morant clone) and ZIon and get the best of both worlds

We need a PG badly imo. So I would definitely be for this if we cant get Zion.

Smith isn't half the passer Morant is. Its been the most impressive part of his game to me. He looks special.

I like Smith, but at this point, he isn't going to do much for you if he isn't scoring.

If we make that trade with Boston we most likely have 2 picks between 10 and 16. What do y’all think? I really like SF/PF DeAndre Hunter. Looks the part and plays smooth, good at nearly everything.

Morant has much much better passing skills though

Hopefully Knicks get a top 3 pick and the Pels, in some sort of wink/wink agreement for playing AD, have their envelope frozen, and Pels have two top 3 picks.

Would be an excellent PG next to Jrue. Let Morant run the offense and keep Jrue off-ball where he excels.
