Event Friday is Big! (NBA draft drawing)

[Dougnsalem]

So which pick are we going to have to burn to get rid of Meyers?

You sure that's not plural???

 

[SlyPokerDog]

20+ 26 should equal the same value as as around 13. You don't think 13+ 15 gets us to mid lottery? Not that high in this draft perhaps given its top heavy nature, but I think we can easily climb to the 6-10 range.

If we had a mid lottery would you want to trade it for 2 non lottery picks?

Wait, we have more than one Meyers?!? *shudders*

Depends on the team, man. If i'm a team like SAC or DAL or DET, and I'm devoid of any talent altogether, I'd like more shots on goal. Especially if I'm not top 3.

 

[illmatic99]

I don't see Tatum, Fox or Monk as worth having three shots and solid big prospects. I would rather keep the picks or use them in trade from someone to help next year.

This is a really interesting debate to me. This draft is both top heavy and seems like there's some talent in the late lotto/mid first that can blossom albeit with a lower ceiling. Depends on our scouting. I really hope Neil is being thorough. Make sure he has the whole draft down and not just the range of each of his picks.

20+ 26 should equal the same value as as around 13. You don't think 13+ 15 gets us to mid lottery? Not that high in this draft perhaps given its top heavy nature, but I think we can easily climb to the 6-10 range. Last year, Kings traded away #8 for #13+ #28 + the worse Bogdanovic + a 2020 second rounder.

Is there anyone in the 6-10 range that would help our roster though? or can those picks be packaged for a role player from another team?

 

[BonesJones]

I'd be down to try to trade Harkless and 26 and see how high it gets us.

 

[TBpup]

The 'bigger market theory' was almost perfect in predicting the outcome. It may not have had anything to do with it but it was almost spot on.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'd be down to try to trade Harkless and 26 and see how high it gets us.

Orlando doesn't want Harkless back.

15. Portland
16. Chicago
17. Milwaukee
18. Indiana
19. Atlanta
20. Portland (via Memphis)
21. Oklahoma City
22. Brooklyn (via Washington)
23. Toronto
24. Utah
25. Orlando (via LA Clippers)
26. Portland (via Cleveland)
27. Brooklyn (swap with Boston)
28. L.A. Lakers (via Houston)
29. San Antonio
30. Utah (via Golden State)​

I like Moe's contract too much for me to just throw him in to move up a few spots.

A decent enough exercise in projecting value here, and they say the combo of 15, 20, 26 should get us between the #4 and #5 picks. Obviously this is different in each draft and depends on the teams involved.

that seems too good to be true. Although there was once a team that traded the right to pick Chris Paul for a 6th and 27th pick.

 

[illmatic99]

Players of note drafted between 15-20 in the past 6 drafts:

2016: Hernangomez (15), LeVert (20)
2015: Oubre (15), Dekker (18)
2014: Nurkic (16), Gary Harris (19)
2013: Giannis (15), Schroder (17)
2012: Harkless (15), T Zeller (17), Fournier (20)
2011: Kawhi (15), Vucevic (16), Shumpert (17), Tobias Harris (19), Motiejunas (20)

Some solid talent and two superstars have been drafted in our range.

"Shudders" might be a better name than "Butters"

Orlando doesn't want Harkless back.

Interesting..... do they know that?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Interesting..... do they know that?

Psst... the person who made that list was fired.

 

[Natebishop3]

Psst... the person who made that list was fired.

That's a strong argument....

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Psst... the person who made that list was fired.

Or one could say, the person who traded Harkless away was fired...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

15, 20, 26

My OCD: "MOTHERFUCKER!"

 

[BBert]

WOOOO let's go! ^^ that's a livestream. Hit play.

Clips get 23
Jazz get 24
Magic get 25


ugh worst case scenario-- we get 26

Boo...

 

[BBert]

Fuckin hell. Worst case scenario again. #20

Boo...

 

[BBert]

at least we won the most important one.

Yay!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Yay!

So do we thank Meyers for bumbling the post moves against New Orleans?

 

[ripcityboy]

The last thing this team needs to do is get YOUNGER.... We got the most important pick. Take the best player and package the other two for a better big man. Most of the later picks are a crap shoot anyway.

Yes. Yes we do.

See. Stotts is no dummy.

So basically we need to draft a tall/lengthy SF with 15.

Why is getting young talent a bad thing?

 

[Natebishop3]

Why is getting young talent a bad thing?

Because we're already extremely young, we already have a bunch of project players (Harkless, Vonleh, Layman, etc), and we desperately need some consistent vets who can contribute on a nightly basis.
