Everything 2024 Draft

[planetmars]

I think there will be some interesting trades during the draft this year. Hopefully Bruce Brown gets us something nice.

I could see any one of these teams giving up their pick for him:

Memphis (#9)
Chicago (#11)
OKC (#12)
Sacramento (#13)
Philly (#16)
Cleveland (#20)
Milwaukee (#23)
NY (#24 or #24)

We could package #19 as well and move up too with it. Maybe Houston would give up #3 for Brown and #19 for instance.

I hope we work the phones hard and make a deal. Would suck leaving the draft with the same 2 picks, and nothing for Brown's contract.

We talk about trading up or trading for another 1st EVERY year. It never happens.

One of Masai's best trades happened at the draft. He traded Vasquez for a 2017 first (OG) and a 2015 second (Norm).

I'm hoping for some more of that magic.

We never had a dog on the trade block before.

We can trade up to draft…. Edey! And make sure you post your reaction video.

What impressed you most about Bruce Brown this year?

Me neither.

The Bruce Brown love is a media driven narrative. I hope I'm wrong on this, but.

I hear he's a dog. Future face of the NBA.

Bronny with 31st.

Bronny with 31st.

While a couple highlights are nice to see, when listening to the talking heads in attendance, it was clear that he's not ready to play minutes n teh NBA currently. They said he would be a guy suited for the G-League and would take time to develop.

Some other guards that may be available at 31 that could get some run with the big club are Tyler Kolek, Trey Alexander, and KJ Simpson. These guys are more ready right now than Bronny. Who will turn out to be the best pro out of them all is anyones guess. I just don't feel we are in position to take on a developmental player who's ceiling is deep bench depth.

Our 3&D big wing?

I'd be OK with this guy at 31. I remember watching an Arizona game this past season and was impressed with his motor and energy. HIs a 5th year senior who showed some nice growth to his game going from SDSU to Arizona. He's could turn into a solid bench piece.

Biyombo got paid when we got to the ECF and got Lebronto'd that one season. Fred just got paid the max from Houston. OG is going to get close to a max if not the max by NY.

Some of that is playoff reputation. Some isn't. But I think this happens everywhere. Playoff performers get paid. Key is to do it when you are a UFA and not when you already got paid (like Donte, Hart, etc).

Lowry got paid by Heat. Danny Green got paid by Lakers. Kawhi and Uncle Dennis got undisclosed boats, houses, airplanes from the Clips, plus his hand-picked teammate, PG. Masai & Bobby got paid. Nurse got paid... twice (and his reputation is the most bulletproof). Griffin and Nate got HC jobs. Jama got a promotion to the Warriors.

You win a chip, and everybody in the organization feeds at the trough.
