They want to win now(playoff $ and overall. better attendance) and think they can with Conley and Gasoline back. If they can slot Doncic on wing they def will

Also my phone keeps auto correct to Gasoline and I’m just gonna allow it moving forward

I feel like he'll opt to force his way to Dallas instead of going to Memphis, it's only one more slot down.

SGA all but has a promise to Charlotte at 11.

Young could slip big time if Orlando passes.


Sexton and Lonnie Walker gotta have no clue where their stocks are now

What would you say are the odds that Keita Bates-Diop is there at 27?

If he wants to play there
They’ll take him anyway. There isn’t a guy they could get that could convince them to trade out completely.

I did bring up a possibility that Dallas and Memphis swap picks and exchange shyt deals


Say, Mathews and Powell and #5 for Parsons and McLemore and #4 and #31

they love wesley matthews as a locker room figure. i'm not sure many people care for parsons in that organization. they got opinions from dirk on giving parsons a new contract a few years ago, dirk gave them a thumbs down.

If he's really the guy Dallas wants I think they'll move up. They could even do something for 3, and the Hawks take Trae at 5.

What's the rumor on Orlando? It went from them wanting Trae to be the star player to not wanting him at all.

All his locker room presence will be there 1 more year. Would you keep that from landing Doncic? I’m not sure you could scare Memphis into passing him up.

their history with the Gasols could play in their favor in regards to him blocking going there

who knows though, could see it

Atlanta would have to want Trae for this but I don’t think Dallas has something to entice a swap outside of Plumlee for Powell (If they want Jackson then it’s a bit riskier)


With Orlando it’s either Bamba, Young or Sexton. I prefer Sexton over Young and Hammond probably wants Bamba, but Orlando has no life to that team and that’s with Aaron Gordon there. Young would get them national games. Sexton won’t.
