We traded away #30 last year without dumping salary.
And that is not relevant to purchasing a pick whatsoever.

You said the only way that you're acquiring a 1st is if you take on salary?
You can only “pay” for a pick by taking on salary aka salary dump. Nobody will trade a first round pick for cash considerations ever again.

How dare you disrespect Mark Williams like that!!!
I can’t decide if Chet is a piece that is easy to build around because he unlocks stuff with his uniqueness or if he’s a piece that is hard to build around because of his uniqueness. I’m leaning towards the former… I hope he lands in OKC because they will figure it out.
I think Wendell Moore is the guy I think we are most likely to get that I’d be excited about. I think we can trade for a pick in the 30s and think he may still be around. I just think at very least he’s a decent three and D guy who can dribble and pass a little. Teams will get seduced by huge upside and wait on him. I like guys who have the same role in college that can translate it directly to the pros. The guys that score 20 a game sometimes struggle to adjust to being offball.

He fits well with most groups because he can stretch the floor and should be a top tier rim protector.
I just wonder if he will have issues guarding on the perimeter if he is more of a 4 that needs to play with a 5. I wonder if he will have trouble as a full time 5... I think he will do fine. He moves well obvi... His body may make his game look weirder than it actually is and maybe he's like the perfect glue guy.
Curious as to what you think about Vince Williams, or if you've heard of him (I hadn't). Doesn't have the same pedigree as Moore, but similar type of prospect. He's the guy I'm hoping we buy a second round pick and use it on.
