2023 NBA Draft Megathread

My current thinking: Plan A = trade up to #5 to nab Whitmore if the price were right (no more than one unprotected pick to swap 5 for 9). Then take Bufkin/JHS/George at 16, then a flier on high upside / high risk at 28 (Rupert, Maxwell Lewis, maybe even GG if he's still there).

Plan B = Assuming Ausar or Black are available at pick 9, take 'em. Then take Whitehead at 16 (assuming medicals check out as "good enough"). Then take a solid 3D prospect at 28 like Colby Jones, Cissoko, or O-Max Prosper.

This upcoming season it’s guaranteed. If he plays 75% of regular season games this upcoming season his contract is fully guaranteed next year which is the final year of his contract. It has an ETO with only 5M guaranteed if he doesn’t play that 75% of games.

Right, so it’s still basically/ mostly an expiring contract. Easy to not play a fringe NBA player 21+ games.

Neither are bad outcomes, but I just really want to see the Jazz be aggressive in this draft since I don't see many good free agent options and this draft looks better than next year so far. Swing for the fences for a change.
 
I can help but watch the importance of Duncan Robinson to the Heat and think that Gradey Dick is a better player and would have the same type of gravity.
 
Pretty much still in love with getting both Wallace and Hendricks. It still looks entirely possible to me, would probably just require trading up with Dallas. If achieving that outcome just requires using some spare cap space this year and a little next year (and sufficient luck, of course) then I am in.

Ya I my ideal draft without making moves is Hendricks and Hawkins. But if we can get Hendricks and Wallace then that is probably my second choice (since we would have to give up something in that scenario. If we got those two without giving anything up, like wallace falls to 16, then that would be my ideal draft. Assuming we just cant get a good price to move up to pick Cam)

I'd love these scenarios
