What’s up with the Tari Eason slide? He was top 10 and now seeing him slip to out of the lottery. Showed great improvement year over year and a very good all around player.
 
lets see if anyone will impress cronin/chauncey (will dame be there), maybe we keep the 7th pick in that case

lets hope chauncey has an eye for talent/potential (he showed he knows how to work with and develop young players)

It's really a fluid draft but the next few days could solidify some of that. Especially if the top guys do drills and even moreso if they play in the scrimages. I doubt Chet, Paolo and Jabari will play in the scrimages but they have to be trying to outdo each other so they just might. I think Shaedon Sharpe has to do everything so he can try to jump up into the top 4. Imagine if Murray doesn't do something and both Eason and Sochan dominate the scrimages. Murray could take a pretty big slide. This draft has players so close together in talent that every opportunity these guys get to set themselves apart they should take.

This phenomenon is why I'm definitely for trading back so we can get the talent that slips into our hands and appease Dame by bringing in Grant... who for the record I think would be a much better fit as the second or third option next to Dame than CJ ever was.

I remember Dame's combine. Because there was talk of the Blazers being interested, i watched the combine, and was blown away by his ability. Shooting, speed, quickness, and desire. He was amazing and stood way out that year. Dame dropped to 6. The Unidufus was 1, but Dame should have gone 2, worst case. The team will do their homework, and hopefully find that gem.

I'd like to see a list of Multi-year Allstars taken at 7 or later Just off this list you have Chris Mullins, Damon Stoudamire, Richard Hamilton, Stephen Curry (!!!!!!), and Murray, Randle, and Barnes are all borderline all-star type guys in their best seasons.

Recall guys like Draymond Green, Kawhi Leonard, Giannis and many, many other All-Stars and even MVPs have been taken at 7 or later. All is not lost. We need to scout well and trade well if it comes to that. I like these trade-down for multiple pick ideas in this draft and go for Duren.
 
Someone will drop. A Euro or a young freshman will excel during the workouts and rise. Most teams are smart enough to draft for who will be the best as opposed to who is right now.
After the top 3-4, the next 10 all have similar potential
 
Who is taking Ivey? I never ever would've thought there was a chance he'd fall to 7, but you could make a case 4-6 don't take him. That would drastically increase the value of the 7th pick.

Man if Ivey fell to us I'd absolutely draft him there and maybe even keep him and let him and Ant battle it out to see who starts and trade the other for a wing.

Jesus that's depressing

Stop the #7 for Grant. That's wayyyyy too much for him. Especially since Detroit needs him off their books. I think Keegan Murray, or Jalen Duren will be the pick. And either will be a keeper.

You have to remember who our gm is. He likes getting a poor return for assets. Our ownership likes that also because they rewarded him a 4 year contract without even interviewing a single other candidate.

I don't like Cronin being our GM either but I will venture to guess that he's far different when he's in buy mode than he was when he was in sell mode.
 
I don’t really want Griffin but having a healthy Dame/Ant/Griffin playing 1-3 is really pick ur poison. It would be reigning 3s.
 
I did post an idea a couple days ago that I don't necessarily like. We could see us trading our pick back to the Hornets like a lot of my ideas start, for the 13 and 15. We might then send 13 to Detroit for Grant and send 15 and the Bucks pick along with Bledsoe to the Knicks for Randle.

All these points can be made about the 10th pick too.

How about the #7 for Grant and a future 1st? If both sides are motivated there are a lot of different assets that could be swapped to balance things.

Granted it's highlights, but he's real impressive. Two way player with size and athleticism who can shoot from 3 and be imposing in the paint. He looks to be a great finisher at the hoop. Thanks for enlightenment on this talented player.
 
7 was not good news. Not suck-tastic of 8, 9, 10, but I could see a really good player at 6 or better.
7 and Grant in the same sentence is not an option. Just say no.
One of Murray or Sharpe could be at 7 ... it just takes one GM at 5 or 6 to fall in love with a Dieng, Daniels, Mathurin ...

I'll hope for an "understanding" about/with Ayton's agent and the Suns ... or OG Anunoby being the odd-forward-out who fits under the TPE.
But I do like the draft, and the hope it brings.
 
If we did send the 7th pick to Houston for Wood and the 17th and then could strike gold with someone pretty developed like Agbaji or on the opposite side of the spectrum a pretty unknown but intriguing prospect like Jovic, then we'd be a team that we could expect to be better than we've been during the Olshey years.
