You making shite up now. No one said that draft was crap like this one. Most experts had Edwards as the number one overall prospect.

There was a bunch if flopping back and forth in that draft and nearly everyone said there was no clear cut #1 prospect in that draft, and there was back and forth on whether it would be Edwards, Wiseman or Ball. It was so unclear cut that Minnesota DESPERATELY tried to trade that pick for a vet, even offering it to us for Jrue, but everyone turned them down. Kicking themselves in the arse now huh?

Who are you taking at 1?

As stated in previous post, I’m immediately trading it. Sarr has pretty much cleared the competition in anyone and solidified himself as the #1 guy, and I can guarantee you there’s a multitude of teams out there that absolutely love him and want him. I’m looking to move it and drop down a couple spots to target Shepp who I believe will be a future star.

But for real you are hell bent on trading Herb and almost applauding it at this point.

FOR THE FIRST OVERALL PICK YOU ARE frickING RIGHT I WILL TRADE HIM. If a team is overpaying by that much for him, you HAVE to trade him bruh.

There’s guys here that sound like some bitch arse Laker fans. “OMG i’m not including Reeves in ANY deal whatsoever, they can have some second round picks instead”

quote:

So what does Hunter and a pick do for us?

Gives you trade ammo. You use that pick to facilitate a trade for Houston to get Bridges, or cut out the middle man and just go fricking get Bridges yourself. Nets don’t want to look like they’re trading Bridges for anything less than a overpay, getting back a #1 overall pick would look that way. Deals I would immediately try to flip that pick for:

Houston: Bridges
Nets: Hunter, #1 and whatever picks they get back from Houston
Pels: JSJ, Landale, #3 (Reed)

Wizards: Hunter, #1 and 21
Pels: Avdija, #2
Wizards apparently love Sarr and are hoping Atlanta passes on him, they don’t have to hope by doing this.

Spurs: Nance, #1
Pels: Collins, #4, #8

Again, my target any of those trades is to be able to drop down a couple spots, acquire more assets and still get the target in Reed who will be a nearly perfect fit next to Zion with his shooting and distribution skills, and is a pretty decent defender already.

The 1st pick in this draft doesn’t seem that desirable. Does anyone really want it? Unless you know which guy is going to be the future All Star you’re probably setting yourself up with a player who’s contract will exceed his on court value long term. So even if they’re good, they’ll end up overpaid.

I wonder if this is their way to push Griff to go after Trae instead of Murray. I get why they insist on Herb if they are keeping Trae, but haven’t the rumors been they would prefer to move Trae?

I thought they moved onto Trae b/c Murray didn't really fetch value at the deadline and they assume Trae would be worth more. I don't see how they would do a bait and switch to deal the guy they thought had more value (although my read could be wrong)

Yes, multiple teams.

In years past maybe not, but with the success Wemby and Chet had last season teams view Sarr as a lighter version of them that if he improves his shooting they think he can be a superstar

Not having a clear #1 prospect doesn't mean it was weak.

This year has no clear-cut #1 prospect because it is weak.

In a shite draft? That's silly.

Hunter is borderline negative value, so it may do the opposite.

This sounds like NBA Drafniks trying to promote a shite draft to keep their bottom line up.

Straight from the NBA website
quote:

Sarr’s full potential will be reached if he can develop a 3-point shot and/or some playmaking potential in addition to his defense. As it stands, he draws comparisons to Evan Mobley. Sarr is too fluid to be compared to someone like Rudy Gobert and not a good enough shooter to be compared to Chet Holmgren. Primarily, he contains the upside to be one of the most impactful defenders in the NBA and should have no problem walking into double-doubles given his athleticism running the break and throwing down dunks.

Also this:

This board has more authority than a random Minny BR "reporter"

Here is the actual article

Basically like a BR article taking posts from this thread. That's not "smoke"

Mobley RIGHT NOW is his upside, basically.

Not the projections that Mobley's potential has, the non-apex version now that's lost lots of its shine.

Please name me a 6'2" white guy who turned into a really good nba player.
Kirk Hinrich? You are wanting to trade all of that for Kirk Hinrich?
Reed's cieling isn't very high. He may be a decent player in the NBA over time, but he's not going to be an all-star level player, or anything near it.

but but but 42" vertical. Lah dee fricking dah.
You know who has the 4th highest vertical at the combine ever? 6'5" Pat Connaughton.


I'd be livid if we made any of the proposed trades you listed.
