The Official 2022 NBA Draft Talk Thread

What do us Celtics fans have to look forward to? Will Stevens trade up into the first round?

I think it’s more likely he attacks in free agency but I have no intel on that

 

[tremonthustler1]

My top 3 for the Cavs & I'll be happy.

1. Eason
2. Williams
3. Branham

Cavs need scoring & playmaking the most which is why I think Clevelanr will take either Malaki or Williams. But we also need a tough wing defender which means Eason would be perfect fit next to 2nd year Mobley and Allen.

if y'all draft Eason, how could he and Okoro be on the floor at the same time?

Not much to look forward to. All we have is a late 2nd round pick. They’ll probably trade the pick or use it on a stash.

Ivey and Haliburton have the same agent and I doubt Mintz wants to deal with sac picking another guard 4 months after how that trade came about. For on the court reasons its a forced fit and never felt sac was truly in play for him.

I don't think Ivey is a lock for Detroit just yet as the Pistons love Mathurin. I really disliked the idea of Murray in Detroit so if Sac takes him we'll all love mcnair n vivek for that and Bagley

DET taking Mathurin at 5?

Mathurin dominated the group detroit workouts sharpe and dyson was in and they liked how vocal he was compared to the rest. Out of all the guards he fits with cade the most in a traditional sense

Did not know that …this explains it all … yeah I wouldn’t pay any attention to any Ivey sac rumors anymore the well is tainted..if they want him he’s going to Sac regardless of the pre draft shenanigans

CAA is making the situation real miserable. To the point I think they just go Keegan Murray. I mean real talk they drafted PG’s three drafts in a row and still have Fox and Davion. Even if there wasn’t bad blood, it’s a bad fit and Keegan can make a legit argument he is BPA at #4.

Yeah but was that before Ivey at #5 was a legit possibility?

Weaver is somewhat of a wildcard. I thought Cade should have been a no-brainer but they were looking real hard at Mobley until the final hours.

Not certain how transparent this process is from an agent/team perspective but I'm assuming Detroit were made aware of the intention for Ivey to not deal with Sac. Ivey said today his only workouts have been with Orlando and Detroit so its very likely but Mathurin still wouldn't surprise me

Where'd you see this? I been looking for some updates on team workouts.

Davion Mitchell isn’t leading you anywhere …he’s a nice 3rd guard …all the of those guys cam share the 96 minutes of available guard time if needed… you don’t take less talented players because you drafted a good bench guy last year … but anyways tho …teams have drafted guys plenty of times before who “didn’t want to come to their team” ultimately the player has little leverage in these situations tho

Okoro is more of a SG on this team. When the team is healthy he comes off the bench.

Mostly a combo of givonys espn+ content, content from the athletic and tidbits someone posts on reddit. Also listen to pistons pulse and bun and cardigan pods to get beat writer povs. I piece things together as much as possible

I think he's saying that you can't play them together since neither of those guys can shoot

Oh my bad.
I didn't think of that
