Event Draft Day 2016: Rumors and Trades - 1st round

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I thought Exum was their PGOTF

He probably is but he's coming off the injury and is still raw as fuck. Hill will be a good guy to play under for a couple seasons for him.

Neil is holding out until he sees that the value of the pick is maximized and I think we're getting close.

 

[Mediocre Man]

What year are we talking about? Because Utah has done nothing, and Denver's picks are 3 years away from doing anything in the playoffs. And OKC was already better

I forgot for a moment where I was.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Utah got George Hill, which was an upgrade to their weakest link.

Hill is an average player. He gives them nice depth behind Exum but hardly someone to worry about.

Getting Skal would allow us to move on from Meyers fairly easily. Saves us money.

And he's a far better prospect

No reason for us to move into round 1 if FA is the desired path to getting better. Just eats up cap space

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Anyone have a great page on a site that lists all the draft day trades in one spot?

 

[MickZagger]

It's close but I'd go Deyonta over Skal.

What about Ulis?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

So the Hornets traded Richardson for Belinelli basically... huh...

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Dang. It'd be nice if we had at least one measly rumor to chew on. Boring.

 

[JDC]

Cheaper but yeah, doesn't make a lot of sense.

Well that HAS been the plan all along, no?

 

[Mediocre Man]

MM, I don't think Olshey is pinning his hopes on tonight to get better. July 1st is much more important.

I never said he was. It wasnt a criticism towards the Blazers. It was an observation of the other teams in the division and the assets they added for both now and future

 

[Mediocre Man]

LOL of course Sac takes a Cuse guy

I thought so

Sure. But the best values are hits in the draft. If you see a guy you like and have the resources to make it happen, you do it. I think Neil made it pretty apparent that that was his philosophy heading into tonight.

 

[MickZagger]

I honestly no nothing about Malachi Richardson.

 

[illmatic99]

Celts drafting more stashes

Adam Morrisson?

yahoo sports has the clearest layout from what I've seen

we have several RFA's who are really not tradeable, some UFA's, so unless you want to touch our "core" type guys what would you suggest? I'd try to trade the 2018 Cle pick but that likely won't get us this low but we may be gettin closer

 

[JDC]

I honestly no nothing about Malachi Richardson.

Smooth player who can shoot it but old for his class, not a great athlete and struggles at the rim. Was linked to Portland early in the draft process iirc.

 

[MickZagger]

Man, Skal went from being the #1 pick to maybe not a first rounder.

[UKRAINEFAN]

I think I like Ante Zizic; I don't think he will get past the Spurs at 28 so would need to get Philly's pick at 26.

oops

 

[Scalma]

I'm getting impatient. I understand it, but it still sucks lol

 

[Wizard Mentor]

I'm getting impatient. I understand it, but it still sucks lol

won't find out anything until middle of 2nd round.
