The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

[VegetasHairline]

I'm shocked that I haven't seen Luka Doncic referred to as DonCAC on here yet. Yeah...it's lame, I know.

Not the biggest Lonnie Walker fan, but he's really tryna position himself as the 2K18 version of Mitchell

Only thing I would do is

#1, criss for Kat and I could be talked into giving up #16 as well but nothing more.

https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/...o-1-pick-phoenix-suns-nba-draft-deandre-ayton .. So I'm reading this article about the Suns possibly trading for KAT.Author was making sense until he proposed his actual trade offer

Minnesota receives: No. 1, Milwaukee 1st likely to convey in 2020, Miami 1st unprotected in 2021, Josh Jackson

Phoenix receives: Karl-Anthony Towns


Is KAT worth all that?


I'd do the 1st overall pick this year, the Milwaukee pick, and Marquese Chriss(Or Dragan Bender)


Now way I'd give up the No.1 overall pick this year AND Josh Jackson....Plus another uprotected pick in 2021?


Hell nah

Clippers really got a top 12 pick for a declining Blake Griffin on a five year max deal. Makes me wonder what would happen if clueless Phil Jackson refused to add the NTC on Melo's long term deal. fukk :Philface:

For Phoenix: It's Ayton or Doncic. No trade coming for anyone. I feel bad for Bagley because I think he wants to be there the most, but it's a 2 player draft.

Sacramento: If they didn't have Giles and Labissiere, Bagley is an academic pick, but I think they need to justify at least seeing Giles through. They're set almost everywhere else.

Atlanta: they won't get this, but man, I'd love to a see a workout between Bagley and Jackson or even Bamba because they're very clustered up. I think if Bagley shows he can play C somewhat effectively, he's the guy. If he can't, in good faith they can't pick him if they like John Collins so much. Atlanta is in BPA mode, but whoever fits alongside Collins best should be 3rd pick. My opinion is Jackson is the best fit, but Bagley is the superior talent.

Memphis: I can't believe some are suggesting they should take Trae Young. Besides that, damn near lock they won't take Bamba. They want Bagley, but Porter is the wild card. If he lets them see his medicals, he's in the running. If not, Jackson is the safe pick.


Bulls: supposedly they were the ones who made the promise to Chandler Hutchison at 22. If this is true, it changes things a t 7 because if they go Porter, then it means they're viewing him as an NBA PF primarily. Now, I think Porter is their guy and I think Porter wants to be in Chicago, but I'd think the Bulls would love it if Bamba or Jackson fell instead.

I heard MPJ is holding his medical records hostage and SAC & MEM definitely can't see them. I'm not sure of who else.
