I’ve liked jarace all year but I think it’s between Whitmore and Hendricks with the possibility of one of the top four guys falling to us again like ivey did last year. It was Wemby or bust but I still like a few of these prospects. I also wonder if Dallas would call about Bojan for their tenth pick since they really don’t need or likely want a prospect to add with Kyrie and Luka. Lotto sucked but we still have a great position because of the last two drafts.

Dallas isn't giving up a lottery pick for a 34 year old player.

Think they sign a forward in FA. Grant, Draymond Green, or Grant Williams. Don't care to draft Hendricks or Walker. It would be too many developmental bigs

Need the wing at 5

I think Hendricks and Whitmore are great fits. Hendricks especially if they know they bringing jersmi back

Monty Williams probably picks a contender. So wouldn’t shock me if Ollie is hired this week. Piston fans on social media hate Ollie for some reason

Weaver seat going to be unfairly hot. Cade injury definitely fukked up time line. Like a wasted year. Especially with 5th pick again. Upside is Ivey development is probably ahead of schedule because he got to play lead guard role

But still got confidence in Weaver.

Facts. I think Cade before that Celtics game was showing the SGA style of scoring we will need. I think we look more like Orlando did this year tbh

Are you really trying to compare Kyrie to Bojan? Even you know that the Mavericks have/had a plan to sign him long term and not just be a rental, so it's hilarious you're even bringing him into the topic of discussion.
My point is how many picks did they trade for Kyrie and if they resign him what cap or moves are left besides moving this pick they tanked for

Whitmore

These twins I don’t trust and walker is Isiah Stewart 2.0

But even keepin it a buck with you, I’m getting saddiq vibes from whitmore. I’m mad they fukked us this bad
Whitmore is similar to saddiq because of his lack of passing and his shooting. He’s much more elite athletically than Bey ever was. I like Hendricks too but idk about right there at five. Troy scooping Duren last year let’s me trust him on this one

duren is the third
I think Whitmore or Hendricks fits perfectly tho
I thought I replied to this. I guess I didn’t hit send.

I think Duren is excellent at what he does but in the nba, shot blocking and rebounding without scoring doesn’t make a difference. Gobert doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of success. If Duren can’t score he’s not a third.

I saw on bleacher report they discussed giving up up Duren and Bojan for B.I. of N.O.

Who says no? IMO, this ain’t enough to grab N.O.’s attention. I’d do it as the Pistons

Duran jumpshot clean as hell. I can see him developing a decent shot
