I bet there are numerous trade scenarios DL has been faced with. At 5 our pick is at the beginning of that 2nd tier of talent and people want in.

They also see we can take a bad contract and we have the 23rd pick also. DL is going to be a busy man.

If DL does this right we're going to be a better team with upgraded players.
 
The Injury to Embiid, WCS not declaring, Porzingis leaving the draft, all work in favor of Edy Tavares, whos now the best rim protector in this draft, and will be the biggest player in the NBA next year.

Have i mentioned in a while, Tavares first picked up a basketball in 2010, and at 22 shot 72.2% free throws (one of the selling points on Gobert last year) in the 2nd most competitive league in the world.

Apparently the contract that Tavares signed the other day makes it very easy for him to come to the NBA next year if needed.

I maintain that hes going in the 1st round, probably to a playoff team (im going to laugh really hard about that). I hope for the sake of Alec Burks hes not in the west. 'Edy' is the type of big whos quick and long enough where you really have to fake him out, flying by at top speed or height isnt going to work. He might get dunked on a bunch, but he's capable of contesting everything if thats what you ask of him, I think he shows better feet then Rudy and is more natural of a Pick and Roll player both on offense and hedging it on defense.

An excellent defensive prospect no doubt, think Rudy is the better overall prospect though. Showed he had some nice spins and up and unders last year which I didn't see in the Tavares highlights. If you start watching it 2:00 there are some good examples.

Dang, If Gobert would have gotten more minutes last season, it would have been a lot more fun.

I was thinking the same thing. I really like the kid and was impressed with him nearly every time he was on the court. There's no reason why he shouldn't have played more in a season like last year.
 
this is the $1,000,000 question.

Im thinking that if Exum slides, there could be a team that really covets him and we could get a kings ransom.

The trade the really stands out to me as fairly obvious is, #5 for #7 and the Lakers 1st round pick next year, maybe top 2 protected, maybe top 3 protected, maybe unprotected.

The Jazz will still have one of their top players on the board at 7, no doubt, Vonleh will be gone by then. leaving Aaron Gordon, Marcus Smart or Julius Randle as the pick, and the possibility of 2 lottery picks next year.

watch the jazz draft McDermott at 7
 
One guy trying to raise his value is Bogdanovic. Scored over 30 in 3 of 4 Serbian league final games.
if we go with Gordon to fill the SF position this guy is definitely worth a look at 23....
