#32 is a long shot no matter who you get. Bronny at least has some great attributes to build off of.
2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
I'll put it this way. I don't think Bronny is the 32nd best prospect in the draft, but I also don't think drafting him at 32 would be a problem, regardless of who his Dad is.
We probably don't want to have 3 rookies in the rotation next year and so if we are keeping all of our picks we are likely looking at 32 as an opportunity to draft and stash, or send someone to the G-League.
Desert News says they are working scenarios to not have all three picks. Remove protections off of the 2027 pick can only be done with the Jazz so maybe there is something there. I think removing protections is worth value wise an average 1st round pick. It could be Clarkson + Bronny for the 2027 pick + whomever + maybe a later 2nd.
Or it could be part of the crazy Lauri proposal.
Lauri
2024 32nd pick
Future 2nd rounder
Lakers 2024 17th pick
Removal of 2027 (protections) - I value this the equivalent of an additional pick.
2029 pick
2031 pick
A swap
2 second rounders.
Austin Reeves.
That would be having 3 unprotected Laker picks post Lebron and a swap.
Then you complete the tear down by trading Kessler + Kira to the Suns for their unprotected pick.

Every time I watch his highlights it feels like he gets a little longer. In the end I think his position ends up being a pf rather than a sf once he fills out a little bit more and he can be a matchup nightmare at that position.
They didn't is constantly yesterday and it sucked. You would hope that an actual basketball fan had some input on how things work so that we don't get this stupid ****.

On the bright side, we got to hear Cory Alexander's life story. Lol
Day 1 of hte scrimmages actually wasnt that bad but for some reason day 2 they kept just showing the interviews.
It was hilarious though they would never comment on the game until it was Bronny's game and they would be doing an interview and they would interrupt the interview to say Bronny scored.

I have a feeling this is going to be an insane offseason. Might be one of the wildest offseason to date. If Utah ends up picking Bronny, man oh man.. I'd have to say Ainge plans to shake up the league like he did in 2007 when he got Ray Allen and KG.
