So is it possible Reddish is there at 10?

Chi and min want Garland.  Bidding war, trade down, add assets, profit, boom

would be nice but it's just too quick to make that kind of move

I mean to say how likely is it he's there.

We paid pick 17, 35, the cleveland 2020 pick, and like 10 million dollars (solomon hill) for the right to choose between three guys who didn't have a ton of obvious separation, and where one was practically guaranteed to fall to you.  Schlenk proved he's got a set on him last year, and he's doubling down this year.

If Hunter competes for rookie of the year like Trae did last year, I'll never question Schlenk again!!!!

I don't like this trade. Hunter is an old rookie for NBA reasons and has a limited offensive game. He's a defensive specialist. You don't give up what we gave up to draft Bruce Bowen with the #4 pick.

This kid better be Pippen 2.0 for this kind of insane overpay.

Yeah dude for real.  I think Schlenk has 2 sets of nuts.  He double teams his wife all by himself.

What does this mean?

The pick is the pick, both teams want the player and know what they would've paid NOP for it.

I just can't see it for Hunter at all.  Hunter is Prince basically.

I feel icky.  I agree with saphron on this one.

Hunter is a low-ceiling player you do not draft top 5.  Hoping more is afoot.

Already seeing positive signs that it is possible because @Sothron hates the pick!  So there is hope!!!

Guess we know who our starting SF is now or is it still down to two or maybe even three if Cam really is still around at #10.

Haha, it's funny 'cause it's true.

Dang, now CLE shopping 5, likely to teams wanting Garland.  Get it done, Schlank.

i'm assuming you meant to turn around and flip the 4 and move down.  If not, sorry.  But I was just saying, i don't think there is time to get that done at this point, so i don't think it was the point of the move at all.

Ok, I understand.  I disagree.  If our f.o. is prepared, it can be done.

It isn't so much the pick as the trade to give up that much to get a guy that frankly is on the same level as whoever we could have gotten at #8.

That's exactly what I am predicting to happen. No better to keep Zion happy in NO than to draft one of his running mates from Duke.
