One thing I know is MIN has no idea what they're doing.

we're not trading up.  No need.

Uh uh what about Collins and and the 6th pick to Warriors for #2.

 

-over on realgm. I’m close enough to slap a warrior fan if needed.

LaMelo may freefall.

Golden State probably won't take him

Minnesota has their PG, so they won't take him

 

Honestly, he shouldn't get past Charlotte at #3.  Graham put up numbers, but they were very low efficiency numbers shooting wise.  LaMelo is a far better playmaker than Graham.

But if Charlotte passes on him, Chicago may not take Ball, because they have Coby White.  I think they would be dumb not to though.  Pair him with a legit scorer like Lavine, and the Bulls could rapidly improve.

And Cleveland has 2 PGs already.  Would they draft another one, just because of Ball's size?

 

So if Ball falls to #6, should the Hawks take him?

Does Hawks ownership group have any morbidly sick offspring we can send to the draft lottery? Jami Gertz aint it.

Send Trae. He would have won.

Hmmmm I really thought it was possible the bulls would take  Ball. I figured they were done with the Lavine experiment.

coby white may  be better suited as a SG to the bulls though he played point at NC.

 

bsck to the question though....if ball falls to 6 do we take him????...I’d be on the phone calling several teams to see what I can get for him . If no good offers I’d be ok keeping him! I mean hey atleast then we’d have a playmaker to run the show off the bench when trae sits

We have NYK and Detroit just behind us at 7 and 8 - we can get play them against each other for some assets.

Can play on and off ball as well! He’s a good fit here. I don’t know about starting or anything but there’s chance in the future.

Let's not forgot Edwards shot less than 40% from the field, less than 30% from three. Struggled with defensive assignments. He wasn't going to be able to help us this year.

[Spud2nique]

@Buzzard Remember the debate we had about whether or not Haliburton was a top 5 pick? Well here we are again? Is he a top 5 pick? If not, we get first dibs at him. I thought then and still that he’s not top 5. But rather 6-10. 
 

Where we stand now, I’m thrilled with him if Okongwu is gone.

Hey @NBASupes do you mind if I piggyback off ur topic of who do you want #6 into a poll with the prospects names?
