Grady dikk kinda nice
More athletic then I thought and not a horrible defender either. If he legit 6’8” id entertain him at 5 for Pistons

Portland should get a solid player at #23.

RIP to the team that selects YSL Harrison Barnes

Yeah Portland got to trade that pick.

I hope selects him so #3 becomes more coveted to whoever wants Scoot Henderson.

 

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

Givony is a clown.

 

[WMG the 2nd]

if we weren't drafting at #2, i'd want to trade back and draft hendricks

He adds weight and he can be JJJ 2.0

 

[WMG the 2nd]

If we could trade back with Orlando and get one of those extra picks and something else I’d consider. It. We need shooters

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

We’re probably getting Hendricks. He went to UCF and he’s a great defender and shoots threes and we need a stretch 4 (he’ll we need three point shooting in general. I don’t see us taking Grady dikk that high but ideally Hendricks/dikk draft at 6 and 11 would be perfect for Orlando.

If we get those two and paolo improves his three point shooting in the offseason we could be cooking with gas next year and make a real push for a non play in playoff spot

Sound like some smokescreens and plays being done by agents. What incentive does he have to have bad interviews or look out of shape other than trying to tank stock to go to a certain team?

My thing is idk if he can play three so he’s off the bench unless paolo can play the five

We have Carter at five. We're just gonna play a big ass lineup. and throw him at 4, Paolo at 3, Franz at 2 and Fultz at 1

I mean, hell we had a lineup last year at one point where Bol Bol's big ass was bringing the ball up. We've got a pretty versatile roster of players and Mosley isn't afraid to try different things. He's really underrated as a coach.

So the only shooter would be dikk? Idk about that

???? Franz is 21 and shoots 36%, Paolo has to improve add in a solid stretch 4 that’s plenty. Carter can hit shots too every now and then. We still have Gary Harris and Cole Anthony who has 6th man of the year potential. Adding two additional 3 point shooters in the draft gives us plenty of fire power

Our big guns are Franz and Paolo just gotta give ‘em a solid core and I think we’re doing well right now with that

 

[lightskin jermaine]

Grady dikk is going to the Jazz. I'd be surprised if he goes anywhere else.

 

[CantStop]

I wanted dikk before everyone was jumping on him
