Hey it was real. They actually discussed this trade

Welp there goes that

That’s an unreasonable ask. I think whatever first we could get at the deadline has to be attached to a bad contract, and is lottery protected.

The Pelicans tried to trade Asik and a first for Nikola Mirotic. The trade fell through, but they clearly want spacing for this year and cap relief for next year so they can retain Boogie. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y8zfalgv I say we trade Belinelli and Ilyasova for Asik and their first. We get stuck with another pretty bad contract, but we get another decent pick for guys that were expiring anyway. Having 4 first rounders and 5 in the top 35, is plenty of ammo to make moves on draft night to make sure we get at least two players we are very happy with.

yeah they’d defintely have to give their first round pick this year, but I’d do it. Maybe for Ntilikina too as he’s not doing so well and I liked him at SG.

A stretched out John Collins at his worst. Chris Bosh at his best.

This is 100% correct.

I’m a fan of his, but not more than Bagley. Bagley’s shot looks like it has and will develop. He’s going to be an NBA scorer, and I think he will be the first all star in this class. Carter is just an all around good center. Like Al Horford was. Bagley could be a real star. I know people talk about getting an exciting scorer to put butts in seats, but I think it’s more about recruiting other stars to come. Let’s face it, NBA is about recruiting now, and getting big names is important. Hype matters. Just look arc Wiggins in Minnesota and what they have been able to do. Anyway, I do think Carter might contribute to winning basketball next year more than Bagley even though I Bagley will put up better numbers. But playing winning basketball next year isn’t what this franchise needs.

I’m confident that Bagley is going to be the guy, and he looked awesome offensively against Virginia. Scoring 30 just looks so natural for him.

Just feels like this is the right place to share this. Ayton is absolutely not human!

Bagley has elite speed and quickness for a big man. I don’t see him being a bust at all. He’s got the kind of game that translates really well like John Collins had. They are the kind of players that will always get buckets just because they are high end athletes for their position and have great hustle. I’d say that he’s the safest bet to be an all star in the class because it’s very easy to see him putting up 20 points and 10 rebounds a game pretty early in his career. Not gonna lie, I haven’t watched Duke since conference play started. I felt like I had a pretty good feel for him after watching all his games before then, so maybe he actually is worse. He has my full attention now though.

Bamba finally showed out offensively. I hope he continues, but he’s way behind the other two bigs for me right now.

I like Young better, but I think Sexton might have his best game yet. That’s just the kind of guy he is

Schlenk going in person 4 times seems like a pretty big deal right? Especially since I know three different people in the ownership group have gone (although one went to duke and one to wake forest).

They would never give that to us! I’ve seen trade ideas out there using the cavs actual pick, but I forgot about the rule that they cNt trade it.
