Poeltl & Pascal - The 2016 Draft

[tDotted]

you chose....wrong

Dragan Bender : the next Nikoloz Tskitishvili... with a more pronounceable name.

Did anyone check to see if any of that "top 8" prospects did workout for the teams picking right after us? Bucks, Magic & Jazz

Zubac and Zagorac are pretty good.

Who's is Zagorac ?

Edit: i looked and found him listed 36 on DX,but i don't recall him coming for Raps workout.

[myklk]

We could move up to 6 easily.

Ross+9 for Asik+6.

Was looking at their roster to see what else they could give us to even up the deal, then the more I looked at Asik, the more I realized it's not worth it..

Given the spate of potential second rounders that the Raptors have brought in to work out, It really looks like Masai is looking to trade a pick (most likely the number 9 pick) for some second round options.
Specifically players like: Chinanu Onuaku, AJ Hammonds, Gary Payton II, Jake Layman, Michael Gbiniji, Stephen Zimmerman, Malcolm Brogdon, (all mid second round picks) and maybe Brice Johnson (late first, early second). Looking at a couple of second round players makes some sense but to bring in 10-12 players for work-outs means the Raps are serious about a second round selection and I believe they fully expect to be picking a player in the second round.


If that's the case then I would say something like this might be possible
Ross+9 for to NOP for Asik +6 +39 +40
New Orleans does it because the Aski contract is terrible but for us he may be a good (albeit expensive) replacement for Scola/Bismack

Or even better
Ross + 9 to Houston for Terrance Jones (sign and trade) +37 +43
Houston does this because they don't have a first round pick and TJ is a restricted free agent. It would have to be done with "prior knowledge" because free agency happens after the draft.

Alternatively we could keep number 9 and just trade 27 for two second rounders.

NBA.com updated mock draft by Scott Howard-Cooper


Toronto Raptors

Jakob Poeltl | Utah | C | 7-0 | 235

College Highlights: Jakob Poeltl

Poeltl has the chance to put Austria on the NBA map after two seasons on the college fast track from unheralded recruit to possibly the first half of the lottery. Playing for former NBA big man Larry Krystkowiak at Utah, Poeltl has become what one executive described as a poor man's*Pau Gasol, with passing skills, the ability to play inside and a good feel for the game despite a relative lack of experience. He has been working to become a better scorer, but is the kind of worker who will put in the time to get better.



27. Toronto Raptors

Dejounte Murray | Washington | PG- SG | 6-5 | 170

He excels in transition, whether pushing the ball himself or running the wing and staying in attack mode. That is comes through at 170 pounds is especially appealing to front offices that expect him to fill out and get stronger. Poor shooting is the problem. Murray made just 41.6 percent of his attempts overall and 28.8 percent of his threes.

Man this is gonna be a good draft to watch play out. Unpredictable as hell. Murray could be a top 10 pick or a borderline second rounder for crying out loud. Cannot wait.

^ Thanks for posting.. i'm listening to the RR one right now.

Notorious low baller? Rumour was 4 firsts for justise last year. Offer Masai four future firsts for #9 and you get a deal.

Sent from my HUAWEI TAG-TL00 using Tapatalk

Yeah...he low balls..then at one minute to midnight when no one calls back he panics....so you see the 4 picks for Winslow offers...but even then it was 4 picks over two years none being higher than 15....he wants something for nothing..which is why I believe he has made only two deals...

One with a teammate who did him a favour and the other with the much maligned Billy's king....

Maybe he can get something done in Cleveland..but he is going to have to offer something material as Cleveland isn't up against it money wise

Ha yeah...It will be interesting to see if and when the shine comes off of Boston. Right now it's all blinding "potential" with all his assets. And though I can see why Ainge gets a little more slack because he's brought a team of superstars together before (even though Pierce was already there), those type of moves are very rare.
