If Duren falls to 13 I could be convinced to take on Hayward.

So much talk about trades. None announced so far and we're 10 picks in. This is unusual.

Everybody is asking too much for players we wanted is my guess...they think, we have Trendon, Naz, Winslow Hart Joe Ingles...we can plug roster holes pretty well at SF or PF now
 
The blueprint for being good WITH DAME was surround him with big wings that can DEFEND. Even if Sharpe becomes an offensive superstar, I can't see him projecting to a lockdown defender.

I dunno. Seriously gotta hope Nas becomes a legit 30+ MPG player.
 
Dame
Ant
Hart
Sharpe
Keon
....the only way Keon sees the floor is during practice. Sharpe won't get much time either....unless they are going small ball with Hart at SF, or there is a trade.

Well he has the athleticism and size to be a great defensive wing, I just don't know if he is and that's what we'll need next to our two little guards.

Simons is our current best bet to be the second star next to Dame. Sharpe is probably not going to match Dame's timeline in terms of being the clear #2. I want to keep Sharpe AND Simons and get them both on the floor next to Dame.

I really like our lineup next year as far as starters go.

PG Dame
SG Simons
SF Sharpe
PF Grant
C Nurk

That is totally solid and you have decent 7 man with Little and Hart off the bench. The Hayward trade and getting #13 and then drafting Duren (MAYBE?!?!~?!) would be amazing. Hayward and Duren would really fill out our bench.

Grant and Sharpe. Offseason complete. I’m thinking a 3 seed next year

If we stood pat with this and got some prospects in the second round then we'd probably be able to use the full MLE to add someone like Jalen Smith who Indy has no rights to. Right now we could promise him all of the minutes behind Nurk and some at PF.
 
WAS picks Johnny Davis with #10
 
If OKC takes Duren then I believe the Blazers and OKC are making a deal with each other -- but that is just a gut feeling
 
Wow! Johnny Davis is interesting next to Beal, if Beal is sticking around.
 
Are people really say 'hey give him time alongside dame and watch him flourish'?

Dude hasnt played any competition outside of high school and now you want him to take minutes aside dame?!?!

WE ARE TRYING TO WIN NOW. He's gonna play alongside Ant in 4 years.

I scratch my head around the pick but to then double down and say he needs to play meaningful minutes in the first year is laughable. Dude is the longest project we've had.

If ant took 4 years.........

seems like a huge overreaction

Ant was a much bigger project than sharpe will be.

I'm definitely excited to see Sharpe in Summer League. Will probably be rusty but could also take MVP haha.

Awful take. 4 years? Are you counting in dog years?

Seriously, this was a great pick. The only other guy I'm sad who's off the board now that was available at 7 was Sochan that's it. Daniels didn't do it for me at all. Now we need to pick up Eason, Duren or Jovic with the CHA pick and Hayward.
 
Knicks going Dieng shows that they want a well rounded roster.

I will. It's my immediate reaction.

I also said I would eat crow.

You gonna forget to put that in too? Or am I going to have to mention that when you try the gotchya moment?

No? Cool. Then we know your motive.

You're welcome. No seriously, I'm glad to have helped you
 
Marang heavily hinting that Dame or Dame's representation are unhappy.
 
NYK picks Ousmane Dieng with #11

Would definitely give us a stack of young trade chips.
