    I think the Bulls will draft Wade Baldwin if he's there. I'm not feeling that. Luwawu or Davis I would prefer.

    if i were any team in the top 6, i wouldnt do ANY business with Philly

    why would anyone want to just let them stockpile young talent on the cheap like that?

    Especially if im NOLA, i wouldnt even pick up the phone after the ? they did with the Jrue trade...

    ? logic like this will never get you a championship. So no matter if the deal is beneficial to your team or not your not going to do it because of who it is too? Smh

    Boston has a glut of guards. They cant take Dunn. Getting Okafor and surrounding him wirh scrapy guys and plenty of defense is a steal.

    Wrong, if they feel as strong as others about this kid that are projecting him to be a superstar then you don't pass up on him because of the makeup of your roster, especially when our primary ball handler is a proven liability in the playoffs and is better playing off the ball and the only other guy who can handle ball handling duties might sign somewhere else

    I agree with that notion, you draft best available. But Boston isn't gonna do that.

    You can't not wanna ever trade Bradley and Crowder AND draft a guard. (And still have Smart)

    Im pretty convinced Boston overvaluing their lil ? is gonna ? up the money. Dont wanna teade for betrwr players, now the mock drafts im seeing has them avoiding guards, had em taking ? first, now Brown. Meanwhile all the ballers outside of the top 2 are guards lol

    We're not interested in ? we hardly ever were lol with us you can't read too deep in mock drafts. I'm hoping we pick Murray as he's in the top 4 of guys we reportedly want but brown or chriss would be disappointing

    Ingram is 20 pounds lighter than KD when he came out.

    He said he been working out and eating trying to put on weight since the end of the season and gained 7 pounds.

    Dude ain't gon be NBA ready for two years.

    False. For one, KD was 6'10 in shoes, 212lbs, couldn't bench 185 even 1 rep. Ingram 6'9, 196-205. Bc of the slight height difference, they're basically equals strength wise. Plus Length > strength these days anyway.

    2nd, what u mean 'nba ready', this ain't the 90s. Half these guys are dudes he already played against in high school/ aau.

    3, These ? cant post up for ? , if he's weak who's gonna take advantage of him strength wise at the 3?? Andrew Wiggins? Corey Brewer? You clearing out for Wes Johnson?

    He'll be just fine

    Not worried about BI dude has broad shoulders he'll fill out.

    Same size as Gianni's coming out. More polished at that stage of development.

    He'll be effective as 3&D from day one and expand from there with time.

    While I do agree that not many wing players post up like they used to there are a bit of guys who do so and are solid to really good at it.

    Wiggins as of this season has been posting up more, Gordon Hayward post up a bit, Kawhi always post up guys he is stronger than, Lebron post guys but not as much as he should, Carmelo Anthony, D. Wade, Klay Thompson, even Derozan has done so decently the last couple of seasons.

    I agree though that having a big wingspan and at least not being afraid of being physical is very key with these young guys coming into the league defensively. If he really wants to and puts in the work he will get better on defense, especially when it comes to team defense.

    Please son. Have mercy on our souls, just choose Jaylen Brown trash ass or ? and let us have nice things for once.

    Y'all have so many picks, y'all fools can develop a raw player and draft other players that can contribute for y'all.

    I actually think brown can be decent especially if his jumper improved, I have no idea where we're gonna go tho, Ainge usually keeps our picks under wraps
