what are the realistic chances we trade up ... i'd be kinda shocked if we don't given our assets and apparently multiple teams are looking to trade out and down

I agree. I think the jazz will make a trade
I kinda just want to stay with our 3 picks where they are though at this point

that's a pretty good record. he's had three picks twice - once, he hit on all three, the other time, he missed on two, but hit a HR with the first one. overall it's a good, probably not great record. 08, 11 and 12 was a particularly bad stretch for him.

Swapping 16 for 26 isn’t that huge to me. I say we go get who we want.

If you told me Dariq Whitehead was still around at 26 I'd probably jump on it. Obviously things don't work that way but I'm confident Ainge could get intel that would give him an idea.

Also if you told me we could get the John Collins pick swap done with Atlanta it would make sense as well.
 
I could picture the Jazz finding a way to trade up to #6 for Amen Thompson and #12 for Bilal or Bufkin. OKC would move up to #10 for Lively. Dallas would trade back or trade out.

i'd pick dwh as early as 19, i think. 26 would be a no-brainer. i'd be all over that.

It will be close. I think from Brooklyn on he will be in the conversation. Teams weirdly overreact to injury stuff on draft night imo. I get that its a serious injury but if dude had been healthy last year he's like a top 10 pick. At a position where everyone wants depth. Even if he redshirts this year I'm in.

Should we do one more mock draft before the actual draft?

My recommendation would be to have posters sign up for teams, so that trades make sense, but I would participate even if we just did it the way we have been.

I'd do it.
