We got the #3 pick. Discuss the possibilities.

[Strenuus]

Discuss.

 

[Natebishop3]

Trade the pick for Chris Paul…. Maybe it will reverse uno card our bad luck.

 

[Tince]

An all-star level player should be obtainable for the #3 pick + salary (Ant/Nurk).

Who will be available? What other role players are thrown in the trade? That's where it gets interesting!

 

[Chris Craig]

Trade

 

[BassPlaya]

Moved up from the 5th % spot.

 

[wizenheimer]

if Trade is the goal now...then Cronin has to have the mind-set that the 3rd pick is worth at least 3 future unknown 1st round picks. He can't be mortgaging much more than the 3rd pick for the players that would be realistically available

if I spelled everything right in this post it's a miracle

 

[RonBrewer]

Philly and NY fans are pining for Lillard. Just don't see what they have to offer at this point. We can't trade him unless we rake. If we can get a good return for 3 and Simons and keep Grant, then i'm all for it. Keep 23, i like this draft.

 

[Predator]

Bridges / Claxton for #3 / Simons / Filler is the only trade I’m interested in. And I’m pretty sure the Nets aren’t.

this also assumes Brandon Miller is gone.

 

[Predator]

#3 for #4 & #20

 

[LayneStaley]

I’m sure our Braintrust will squeeze every ounce of talent out of our lottery fortune, no doubts. Just look at previous deals if you doubt this. We are in the best possible hands.

 

[B-Roy]

#3 for #4 & #20

There's a clear drop off in talent between 3 and 4, why would we do this?

 

[illmatic99]

#3 for #4 & #20

think it would take way more than 20 to climb up to top 3.

 

[mook]

Trade Dame. Rebuild around #3, Sharpe, Ant and the haul we get for Dame. Just bite the bullet and start the rebuild.

 

[RR7]

Have assumed if we didn't land 1, it'd be traded. So, it's very likely gone. Bummed to not get 1, obviously. But happy we increased trade value by moving in to the top 3.

 

[wizenheimer]

Trade Dame. Rebuild around #3, Sharpe and Ant. Just bite the bullet and start the rebuild.

any time somebody says "rebuild around Ant" I dismiss

 

[Quatro44]

I am down for the team to trade it, but it has to be for a stud forward. I just don’t know who that will be.

 

[Ed O]

Trade Dame. Rebuild around #3, Sharpe, Ant and the haul we get for Dame. Just bite the bullet and start the rebuild.

1000000%.

This draft pick makes it even easier for us to focus on a rebuild.

i agree

tank for another year or two, try to get lucky in the lottery to keep building the team for the future

i dont mind keeping dame & 3rd pick, but im just not willing to trade the pick as i just dont believe theres some doable trade that would make us legit contenders

 

[Predator]

There's a clear drop off in talent between 3 and 4, why would we do this?

Depends how you feel about Scoot.

If I’m drafting, I’d take Amen at #3 over Scoot, so I’d trade down one spot and grab who I want while accumulating another asset.

 

[LayneStaley]

IF WE TRADE IT, please turn it and more into some sorta Brown(resigned)/Robert Willams trade.

 

[inconceivable]

1. Hire Cobb (iykyk). . Trade pick, Ant, Nurk, Little for 1st pick then draft Wembanyama

2. Trade pick and players not named Sharpe, Dame, Grant for Siakam or Bridges or Markannen.

3. Draft Miller and convince Dame to stay.

 

[Predator]

To move up one spot? I don’t know, but maybe

 

[Predator]

Sharpe and Ant play the same position, which our GM has even noted, so that’s not gonna happen

 

[bradk8605]

Would Boston do something like #3 & Ant for Brown?

 

[LayneStaley]

If Boston gets beat in the ECF i think Ant/#3 could get us Brown(resigned).

 

[inconceivable]

Would Boston do something like #3 & Ant for Brown?

Brown is 295/5 eligible. He won't be offered that. Still he'll be very expensive. Is he worth it? If we get him, and have Dame, we will not have much to get quality role players. Siakam and Bridges will be cheaper

 

[BankTeller]

#3 for #4 & #20

I like this one. I’d rather have Amen than either Scoot or Miller and I think HOU takes either Miller/Scoot.

I only have a few guys I’d be interest in at #20 and #23, but we could trade up to grab our guy or trade one for our pick back in 2024.

I believe in the twins’ work ethic. Sharp and Amen could be Mike & Scottie, at least stylistic wise.

 

[mook]

Eh, I don't understand why. Ant is probably the best three point shooter in the entire league 23 and under. He has decent size and great athleticism for a Point Guard.

He'll be good enough to be a championship calibre pg in a couple years. Not Dame level, but probably Terry Porter.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Trade down to #6 and tip your cap to John Nash.

 

[LayneStaley]

I have 2 questions…

What’s the most we can get in a trade for the number 3 pick?

What’s the most we can get back in a Dame trade?
