#3, Simons, Sharpe, and Johnson for Pascal and Flynn. I think Portland might insist on keeping Sharpe, but I'd still do it with someone like Little. Scoot and Simons would be a horrible backcourt defensively, but Scoot should improve in that regard, and Simons is really just a stop-gap that can add shooting while we find more of the right pieces to put around Scottie and OG. Scoot's primary playmaking would change everything for this team, though.

We could trade the 13th for the 3rd pick. Just need a pick in this draft.Jclaw wrote: View PostComment

Meh, any draft night trade actually gets executed after the pick is made. Every one of them is technically "the other team drafts for you." You aren't allowed to trade picks from the evening before the draft until the pick is made, to make it easier on the televised draft presentation, and to avoid last second deals having to get punched into the big displays and all that. Kind of silly but it is what it is.Primer wrote: View Post
That being said, we could trade the 13th pick for no pick in return, if the trade is on draft night, because at that point the current draft is no longer a "future" draft, and the Stepien rule only applies to future drafts. What we can't do is trade that 13th pick now with no pick back.
But yes, the rule is that you must have A first round pick, not YOUR first round pick, to meet the Stepien rule requirements. So as long as you are guaranteed a pick in that future year draft (ie a protected pick doesn't help you here), you can trade the picks in the adjacent draft years.
So if we wanted to pull the trigger on any deal now, and wanted to send out our 13th pick, then the deal would have to be one like the proposed Portland deal where we get a pick back in this draft, or it would need to wait until during/after the draft to be executed. Which is very much not a big deal, teams do this all the time. We should consider the 13th pick freely tradeable at this point.Comment

based on reports portland may be interested in og for the 3rd.. not sure what the deal would entail in terms of frame work but that is interestingComment

Seems unlikely the Raps would do that trade since they have indicated they want to win now with the core they have. We're sort of in the same position as Portland because both teams are looking to improve the roster for the coming season.TrueTorontoFan wrote: View PostComment

I think for an asset like the third overall pick, especially if Scoot slips, the Raps make an exception to that and take a deal with a little more long term upside.LJ2 wrote: View Post
That said, I suspect Pascal is the likelier target for the Blazers if they are including high value draft assets.
There's a world where both go, but I think it unlikely - the Raps do still want to compete, so keeping one of those guys would make sense even if they do leap on an opportunity to grab a high value prospect.Comment

Yeah, if it was Scoot then the Raps might be willing to move OG, but doubt they would feel the same way about moving Siakam. Portland would definitely want Siakam. OG, I don't think moves the needle that much for them as title contenders.DanH wrote: View PostComment

Why is Scoot considered a can't miss prospect?
His base stats look decent sure:
16.5ppg, 6.8apg, 5.3rpg with 1.1spg, 0.6bpg
But his efficiency sucks:
42.9%, 27.5% and 76% shooting splits.
Plus he's only 6'2. I was thinking he'd be 6'4 or 6'5. He also had a negative (-2.5) net rating.
Is it because he has flashy videos? 27.5% 3pt shooting is super ugly. And he takes about 2.7 a game. And he was pretty underwhelming during that rookie/sophomore game. And that's a pick up game. He should have been a highlight reel in that contest. He was given the spotlight and his own team, and was super meh.
I think this is a situation where his hype machine has made him overrated.

George is definitely a high upside pick.The Great One wrote: View Post
His efficiency wasn't great but he had an insane 31% usage.
Assuming his efficiency goes up as his usage comes down to a more reasonable level (a logical assumption), he's got the DNA of lead scorer.
I'd be happy with him as the pick if management likes him.Comment

Watched this earlier today. He looks really good right now. The intel that he was playing through an injury for a large chunk of the season looks legit. I did not realize he had as much bounce as he does, a nice surprise. Shoot looks efficient and he does have some playmaking chops. I have him above Bufkin and Hawkins. I think I may still rank Wallace in front of him for a lead guard, but it's getting closer for me.The Great One wrote: View PostTwitter @WJ_FINDLAYComment
