2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[default]

3 Team trade with POR, MIN, and UT

POR gets KAT
MIN gets Grant (sign and Trade) + some of their picks back
UT gets Scoot

(Fillers and sweeteners to make it work)

depends on the picks

This is the only trade up scenario I see happening tbh. Especially if our FO see's him as a pg

Question is who is willing to trade.

Orlando doesnt really make sense to me as they are probably looking to consolidate assets more than they are looking to trade down and get more assets.

Maybe you can leapfrog the Wizards and trade with Indy if Indy is targeting a certain prospect they know Washington wouldn't take.

I think Grant is better as the 3rd/4th best player than KAT is as the 1st/2nd best player, but if I'm creating a team, I would take KAT and hope I figure it out with him rather than take Grant.

Agreed

good grief. portland isn't trading scoot for kat. kat is a proven loser and pushing will be 28 next season, none of the top three teams want anything to do with him.

Grant is not better than KAT lmfao.

Agree to disagree.

Another possibility at 9. I want him to play at the 1, but I think he's probably a 2-guard. There's a chance he can be like Brad Beal. Similar size and build, similar athleticism, similar steals. They also had similar shooting splits before Keyonte fell off at the end of the year.

The Rocket fans are already talking about trading down if they can't find someway to trade up for Scoot.

Does anyone think Ainge would be willing to trade up to 4 to grab Amen?

yeah, Portland shouldn't give up #2 in this draft for KAT.

Anyone know how Cason Wallace compares to Jamal Murray height/size wise?

They're both supposed to be 6'3-6'4 but Murray looks huge for a PG in the NBA but Wallace looks undersized as a PG in College.

Cason Wallace is 1/4 inch taller than Jared Butler. Wallace is longer, but heightwise he's going to look like our guy Butler.

I would love to get Amen, but I worry about what Houston would want.

If that's the case I think Ainge takes a pass on Wallace. They were very quick to cut Butler.
