2023 NBA Draft Megathread

How did they send a pick swap twice lol they sent one to Brooklyn already.

Its like the 4th worst of 4 picks or something... the swaps are pretty meaningless I think... lots of seconds though.

this is hilarious to me... reminds me of buying a snickers and soda at a gas station as a kid and doing so with like 120 pennies. At some point the gas station attendant tells you to just take it and go.

Right but getting that 2030 swap changes the value of the trade in a major way and I was wondering if that's where this would land. I don't think Phoenix has a 2028 swap to give but everyone messes up, unless there's something really detailed and intricate going on there (like a super-swap kinda thing where 'if applicable, Phoenix shall send the 2nd-highest 1st round pick in 2028 and take back Washington's least-valuable 1st round pick).

It's silly swap season, baby. Let's get crazy.

Somebody asked about Hendricks some pages back. I read somewhere that there were maturity issues. Don’t remember where I read it, I’ve read so much stuff in the last week about the draft.

I think you misread something. He seems like a wonderfully mature young man.

Interesting, Tony said Cam Whitmore's college coach doesnt even like him and may be hurting him in the draft process.

I've heard your Mom doesn't like you...Sorry, I had to

See... that's what I was saying... it may be that he is an ******* behind the scenes.

DFS and a 21/22 will head to Dallas... I think that ends up trumping any offer we would make.

Jazz might be able to get Bufkin if they can trade up to 12 or 13 from 16.

Philly is involved in the '28 pick as well.

2028 first round draft pick to Brooklyn (swap, Brooklyn or Philadelphia incoming)
Brooklyn has the right to swap its 2028 1st round pick or, if conveyed to Brooklyn, Philadelphia's 2028 1st round pick for Phoenix's 2028 1st round pick [Brooklyn-Indiana-Milwaukee-Phoenix, 2/9/2023]

That Philly pick is 1-8 protected, so it's hard to see Brooklyn swapping it for the Suns pick, but I guess it will be like our pick from the Royce trade this year. Brooklyn gets the best, Wizards the next and Suns get the worst.

When you watch Cam play or do crazy stuff in workouts he never smiles. Maybe he's just serious guy or focused, but maybe he doesn't really enjoy basketball. Just throwing wild stuff out there.

If Detroit won't play ball with the Jazz at 5, then the options are:

1) Try to trade up to 7 with Indiana for Coulibaly.

2) Stay at 9 and take Hendricks.

3) Try to trade up to 12 or 13 for Bufkin.

Right now, everything hinges on what Detroit decides to do.

No those are not the options lol. We would not trade up to 7 for ****ing Bilal it would be for Jarace most likely.

I doubt Indiana trades back with Jerace still on the board. If they do trade with us it would be for a player or future picks. They don't want any more picks in this draft. Latest I heard from local guys was that they were looking at #7 for Hunter. I thought that kind of made sense for both teams.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted to trade down for Hendricks though. Black might be gone at 6 so it would likely be for Jarace.

That's some next level reading, but I'm all for it. I dont really believe in Cam.

The messaging out of Detroit is seemin like Ausar

Then I hope it is us trading up to get him

wait, how does that make sense? why would he fall on draft boards as a result of the nets wanting him at 10? do NBA gms have extra compassion for the nets? like, hey i want to take him at 6, but if the nets want him, we'll pass on him.

either that or if the nets like him, he must really suck, hence he's falling.

i mean, he didn't play Cam down the stretch of a lot of close games - so that doesn't surprise me. that said, he's a ****** coach so not sure how much i'd take from that.
