    I think it's walker or Smith if they fall. If not, they have plenty of options late.

    So many scenarios:

    Package all 3 to move Deng. Any team with room but no draft picks?

    Package two with Deng, traded for one because we really like someone.

    Package a few to move up, like we've been rumored, trying to the past week.

    Part of a bigger trade.

    Or just stocking up on cheap labor for when we reel in the big fish.

    Like Kuz said, things are getting interesting.

    Now THIS is why we brought Magic and Rob in!


    On a more serious note I agree with this sentiment:



    I mean I know we like our draft picks and we're good at picking them but it seems such a lateral move

    there's always a chance Chi pick next yr is worse than 39th and I would not question this scouting team after the last 2 yrs.

    Not a fan of Alonzo. I agree, seems like just noise at this point when we're less than 24 hours to the draft.

    who will be there is Kevin Huerter!

    Many mocks have him going at 19 or 21 (Utah). If we can get 19 I'd love to get Huerter

    I just dont think we plan on using all three. Maybe one, but it looks clear they're gearing to move up or move Deng.

    therealdealamus doesnt have the same ring as abeerstrodamus but still. Watch out for DJ if things go different than the Big Three we want.

    Yeah, @therealdeal is right; and I've been telling other friends/fans that DJ is a real possibility.

    Either way, on topic, I like addition of the 39th pick; it gives us more flexibility this summer...

    So Dj wants out even with a 24mill contract but Clipps think they can retain Leonard if they get him via trade lol, oh Mr. West, I feel bad for you.

    I think Randle would be a bad fit with DJ, so likely it’s one or the other, or sign and trade Randle somewhere

    beyond bad fit. it would make Mike Dantony's offense with Dwight Howard look like Pau Gasol in his prime in the triangle.
