Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I've never followed a draft more closely and been more clueless on the direction as this year. After all of this, I'm going to make a prediction:

Lets look at the facts first:

1. We showed we were very good last year. We aren't many pieces away from being a legit contender.
2. This is a very strong class.
3. Many NBA franchises made terrible mistakes with contracts on 2016. This is the last year teams will lose an asset in order to dump them.
4. Our FO was brilliant to create as much tradeable expiring salary as they did.
5. There is more chatter about high draft picks being attainable than any draft I've ever seen.
6. We own the rights to the key free agents on our roster we might want to keep (Favors and Exum).
7. We have the cheapest trio of value wings in the entire NBA with Donovan, Royce and Jae ($11-12 million combined the next 2 years).

Prediction - we are going to do something big. I dont know what, but I just got this feeling. There are too many factors at play working in our favor all at the same time. We can take a terrible 2 year contract if it means swinging for fences.

Will be a fun draft. Happy Fathers Day fellas.

I was under the impression that Favors is an unrestricted free agent.
 
If doncic is available at #4 do have a deal in place to get doncic and Parsons? I think we could ger our 3rd all star that way. I also think Doncic ks the best prospect based on analytics (which we love). Our new sports medicine department is better than ever and I think we could get Parsons healthy again.

I don’t think we have enough to get it done... crowder, 21, 2019 1st, expirings, Bradley for Parsons and 4... just not enough.

I wonder if clips try though... 12/13 and Harris+Beverly I think would be good enough if the rumors are true.

Clips could also try to get in on the Kawhi sweepstakes.
 
God I want Brown soooooo bad. He’s the one guy projected outside the lottery I think is most likely to be an allstar. There is so much potential with this kid, and it’s hard to believe he’s only 18 just watching his tape. If we don’t get him, I’m going to be sick. Sadly I think he goes in the lottery.

Not sure Brown has the athleticism to be an all star. His combine tests were pathetic. He routinely had his shot blocked in arguably the worst major conference in the nation.

He’s more athletic than ingles, and only 18 and doesn’t play like it. His body is going to fill out, and think over time his athletic #’s would improve

Want to put some money on that? I'm posting from same area IPs all day everyday. Ask the admin

that NAOS character kept saying the same **** - took me awhile to figure out what he was talking about, talking about past takes I made on people I never even heard of then I figured out he thought I was PGAB
 
So who have they promised at 7 in order to save money? And why haven't we heard about it?
Scouting the top of the draft is much easier. There is a smaller pool of consensus players and a lot more information on them.
