    Damn... Dallas is taking Kostas Antetoukumpo with the final pick of the draft.

    LiAngelo Ball goes undrafted, which means the Lakers could just sign him outright.

    On a side note, since we used up our picks I take it that we couldn’t package them to dump Deng.

    That means if we do get two max players, Randle is gone....

    Wagner sounds like a Brook Lopez replacement.

    He reminds me of a lite version of Markkanen.

    Weird, during Robs post draft press conference, he only mentioned they made only TWO picks.

    Maybe that Sixers pick at 39 was conditional to who was still there?

    That's actually a really good comp. I think Lauri is a little lighter on his feet but Mo's gonna work on that a ton.

    Wagner mixes it up underneath more... Not as much finesse but will throw his weight around.

    You can't make the trade right now cause Philly had exhausted how much incoming cash you can receive in a trade for the calendar year (5.1m per season).

    Since we're sending cash, the trade can't be completed till after the new NBA fiscal season starts (ie July moratorium lifts).

    Btw, what did I miss? Browsed a bit and noticed that I might have to come up with some clever nicknames for some of our incoming crop...but for now, I will call them "traded for Kawhi".

    Just a thought, can we just use this thread to talk about other teams picks if we want.

    Let's use our guy's specific threads to talk about them if you want.

    I can’t belive Diop fell all the way to 48. Most mocks had him 21-35 at least.

    Must have had poor workouts or something.

    I remember Jay Bilas saying something about a health scare with his heart when he was younger or something along those lines. Maybe that is why, I don't know for sure.
