Detroit to Explore PG Market with Injury to Jackson

You amoking some good buds buddy? No nba team is going give a first round pick for Mack or Neto. Might as well *** Whitey to the list too because I always hear people here over valuing his value also... Neto you would be lucky to get a 2nd rounder out of him. Most teams can just go over the pond and sign someone who wil lgive the same value as Neto and they get to save the draft pick. Neto doesn't have any trade value and not sure why you Jazz fans think he does.

That's what I heard, too. Teams might be able to assign 4 players to the DLeague and maintain their rights. I'm assuming they'll get paid more than the measly amount current DLeague players receive.

But it still doesn't change the fact most 2nd rounders never see significant - if any - NBA action. Mack and Neto are already decent backups. Trading either for a 2nd is likely just giving away an asset. A 1st round pick swap, maybe top-5 protected is the only decent trade, IMO.

Wow I never seen someone fail so miserable by trying to use names. Those players were out of what last 10 draft classes? Talk about cherry picking names here..Plus comparing to football another major fail here by you. Also you are talking about the qb and the Vikings already had a running game and defense. Tryign to compare the 2 between sports is a major fail by you. F-------

Tangential case study. Every football expert said there was no way the Eagles land a first round pick for Sam Bradford. Desperation caused by injuries from teams wanting to win now can lead to some interesting outcomes.

I think there is an outside chance they land a lottery-protected first. Look at the average player drafted post-lottery. Don't you think that Mack's proven abilities are in that range?

Look at 2016 draft late firsts, where would you rank him?
