I feel like we are starting over if we are trading our starters for unproven draft picks that will take time to develop if at all.

I only feel this way if trading multiple starters. A Cap/Collins break up is a step forward just for fit. Addition by subtraction.

Whitmore and Lively still fit the bill. You can't trade Hunter without getting a Wing back (Whitmore) and backfilling Capela with Lively as Okongwu's b/u down the line makes logical sense.

Yeah, it would make a lot of sense if those two are the targets

[ABH]

We going to be like always..nothing happens!!

Hawks thought they were getting the 7th pick and more for Dre? 

there was a rumor that Indiana had never seen Dre try to dribble.

love the rumors leading up to the draft, but on the day of the draft I've lost all interest in them.   I'm fine just ignoring everything and waiting 7 hours till the draft starts.

Rumors out there that the Knicks can get PG without giving up Rj or Julius!!!

something like IQ,Grimes,Obi picks and salary cap fillers!

No offense.... but you seem to be targeted by NY media? What's up with your algorithm? 

All the bizarre one sided Nyx rumors I see posted here are from you. Are you Spike Lee?

Wat?

You not into ShamWoj telling us all the picks ... even though we can just wait 7 seconds and just hear it from Adam Sliver?  As if that's some great accomplishment by them?

Trae and Paskal could be a good fit.. But I see spacing issues if we keep Murray.. Trae and Siakam need shooters around them...

What's a creative package?   

 

Raptors trade:  Siakam

Hawks trade:  Hunter, a future FRP, a coupon for 6 driveway snow shovelings next winter, Magic City gift cards, a tour of the Coke plant.

OKC has inquired about taking Collins for basically nothing but first rounders but the FO is more interested in moving Capela and Hunter.

well they can move Dre and Cap and still get some firsts.... OKC has tons of them. If we're dealing JC that's my preferred dance partner.

didn't you hear?  Woj got his hand slapped and won't be doing that this year.

 

Thankfully there are two telecasts of the draft and you can skip the one with Woj if he starts to crave attention.

The new CBA is very punitive. That's the only way we can save money.

Yeah, I saw that.  Is this like 2 years ago when the same thing happened.  And instead of just telling us picks, he said teams were "leaning" to this guy.  Then say there with his made-for-radio face and demeanor?

I really can't stand that guy.
