2023 NBA Draft Megathread

[The Midnight]

Blazers gonna shop #3. Don’t think we put Lauri on the table… though it’s an interesting path to consider.

Otherwise, does anything get it done? Kessler and Ochai + #9? Would you trade that for Scoot? Miller?

No.. Kessler is a keeper.

Also there’s a chance Hendricks fall to us.

Kessler + Hendricks > Miller

 

[The Midnight]

I would definitely consider Lauri for Scoot… but sounds like I’d be on an island there.

No way.. Lauri could retire as a Jazz legend.

For w/e reason they dont have the Mavs 2023 pick in the trade window, but it would be there.


I think this is a fair deal? Kris Dunn showed in limited games that he could be a spot-up threat if left open. Sexton gives the Mavs scoring. They get off Bertans contract and they still get a rookie at the end of the first round.

You could also swap Ochai/Dunn if the Mavs wanted that. I would also still consider it if it was just straight up adding Ochai. Important to note Bertans only has 1 fully guaranteed year left. Or the Jazz could add future picks to give the Mavs more firepower to make moves down the line. IDK. A lot of options.

Not really sure what the Jazz would be competing against.

I would do almost anything to get one of the Thompson twins. Also really want Cason Wallace. Need somebody with that dog in em.

i think there is a decent chance ausar drops to 9. the twins are huge questions for me so i don't like them nearly as much as you seem to and i wouldn't trade up to get one, but if ausar were to drop, i'd gladly take him at 9.

I think there are options... 16 and just absorbing Bertans deal... 16 and a future pick. I think 28 is to far to trade back. I also wonder if a nickel and dime package might work if the wings and forwards are gone... so 16, 28 and we absorb McGee's deal type of thing. Not sure there is a straight deal where they get a player they really like for #10 so maybe splitting the baby a bit works.

Another trade up scenario is GS. I think 28 for 19 and absorbing GP2's salary saves like like $50m next year alone. Payton is a fine player but not sure he's worth what they are paying him.

Would the Jazz want to do anything to help the Mavs get better? Hollinger and Larsen said the Jazz are monitoring the Doncic situation closely and they have the assets to trade for him if he wants out. Maybe having Kyrie on the team will cause that by default no matter what we do lol

I think the #6 Orlando pick could be attainable. They are a few years away and might prefer 9, 11, and 16 instead of just 6 and 11

They also have #11 so I doubt they are trying to trade quality for quantity.

Wow. Are there other teams with similar cap space who could do a similar deal though?

Pacers could do something similar, but they have to think of it first.

Speaking of the Pacers, they are apparently shopping their later picks for vets, so maybe that’s a tire to kick.
