Notice 2021 draft day picks/moves/speculation thread

[B-Roy]

If Beal causes the Simmons domino to fall, there aren't many big targets left for the Blazers without overpaying for Siakam. Here's to hoping Washington actually wants a rebuilding package and not Big Ben.

 

[B-Roy]

This is what I came to see.

It's just funny how teams keep passing along Westbrook like this. He gets traded at every draft.

 

[ehizzy3]

Are they trading for Westbrook or Hield?

 

[B-Roy]

Westbrook and LeBron on the same team. I wanna see the spacing. LOL

they were already among the bottom of the league in threes

one of the moderators should stop eating donuts and cruising around Pornhub long enough to pin this thread to the top of the page

and...is the Westminster Kennel Show Sly's version of Pornhub?

think it should be unstickied. no one looks at the sticky portion of the page.

 

[B-Roy]

This is such a great deal for Washington. Kuzma, KCP and Harrell will play well enough for that team to prompt some contender to flip some firsts or seconds for them at the trade deadline.

 

[Strenuus]

Unstickied. Enjoy!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

So... it's going to be awkward between Sacramento and Buddy Hield for a bit...

 

[B-Roy]

Looks like it's not completed yet and the Hield deal could still go down.

 

[illmatic99]

Thanks, mods.

 

[tykendo]

Disappointing, but hardly surprising.

It's good when it's quiet. In poker do you show your cards to scare the other players?

 

[illmatic99]

do we really think westbrook being traded influences Beal here?

You would have to think there other suitors other than Philly who would want Brad.

GS for one.

To be fair... the same could be said for sleeping through poker (or having lost so quickly that you're no longer allowed to sit at the table)...

Why would it not? Beal sees his team just trade their second best player for spare parts. I think Beal is in the exact same situation Dame is in.

If we moved CJ for that package, do you think that would improve Dame's chances of staying?

 

[Ed O]

That's a bold bit of reporting/speculation, there.

It's shocking when I hear a team is trying to get the best roster they can.

 

[blazerkor]

I don't. This would actually give them a more competitive team around Beal. Maybe Beal has expressed a desire to play the point.

The funny thing is we can lose in the first round with or without CJ. It would be nice to have something to look forward to in the future while doing so.

For that package by moving CJ, hell yes Dame would stay. He's under contract anyway.

 

[Duckhook]

if they end up with westbrook after all those photoshops of dame in a laker jersey, i will clown some of my laker fan friends to no end.

woulda liked it better if it were kemba and not russ, but i'll take it.

I can think of one well-connected person here that would absolutely love Westbrick going to his Lakers... I think he's producing Olympics telecasts in Japan right now too!

You think Dame would think Harrell, Kuzma and KCP improves this team over just having CJ? I highly doubt that.

 

[Hoopguru]

Dallas has been quiet, so far.

 

[B-Roy]

This sounds like GM spin. Like when Westbrook was moved for Wall at the time.

Later we found out Harden asked for a trade first, and that's why Westbrook was moved.

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

I hope Westbrook goes to the Lakers, he'd be a terrible fit, but that's a smoke-screen

...Woj and Sham reporting it negates the smokescreen angle imo

 

[Hoopguru]

You think Dame would think Harrell, Kuzma and KCP improves this team over just having CJ? I highly doubt that.

I do. It addresses a few needs we have now. Harrell & Kuzma would give us flexibility down low and off the bench. KCP is small but a solid contributor, and possibly Simons could start with KCP off the bench.
Harrell and Naz would be a pair of junk yard dogs!

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

I'd be delighted if Westbrook indeed goes there. Him with Lebron would be awful. Buddy Hield is a much better trade for them
