Trade to 5 for Jarace?

[Miggs]

No... Hawks got Young and the pick that became Cam Reddish for trading back with Dallas. Dallas traded up.

That’s right. I recall thinking Atlanta was epically dumb for not selecting Luka.

I mean they still are very dumb.

I’d rather have the 16th pick than Ochai

we have both now

 

[Eddie Zero]

If I'm Detroit, I ask for Ochai + 16. Maybe 28 also.

we are not giving up esentially 2 lottery level prospects at 9 and 16 in a loaded top 20 for one at 5 imo. Not unless they think superstar is the floor for the guy. I don't see it with Jarace.I think he could be a beast, but not a franchise guy. Trading up might happen with futures and maybe even 9 and 16 bu at that point it has to be someone better

 

[Miggs]

Honestly I could be talked into just about anyone at 9. Or even moving up for Walker as we could use some toughness and I wonder how much Marcus Smart (different positions, obviously) type value Ainge sees in him. I sort of like this idea as he can pass, rebound, defend multiple positions, shoot a little, and is young af. Do this and we have our frontline. Then, maybe we pull off the trade with Dallas to snag 10 and can get Wallace (my choice) or Bufkin there. That could be a franchise altering draft and we’d still have a crap ton of future picks in the coming years.

My biggest issue with Walker is his quickness, really lateral quickness most of all, as well as his lack of bounce.

 

[fishonjazz]

it's looking more and more likely whitmore could fall to the jazz.

I dont know how it all works but lets say the jazz really want whitmore but they think he could fall to 9 so they stay put. Then Cam is drafted at 5 or whatever. Could the jazz offer detroit #9, #28 and a future first for Cam after he gets picked?
Im assuming the answer is yes so i would just stay at 9 hoping my guy falls and then if he doesn't fall I would offer a trade. Where is the downside to that?

 

[fishonjazz]

So my deduction from this is we draft Bilal, Whitmore, Black, Bufkin, Ausar or Hendricks if we stay at 9.

My deduction is, duh

Hot take I think Taylor Hendrix ends up a better NBA player that Walker

wouldn't surprise me at all. walker left a lot to be desired in terms of his play and his impact in a lot games at houston.

So here’s where I am at.

What picks can we acquire (if Ryan is burning 10M on this tv deal, why not more on 1sts?)? Do that first.

Then, see how we can move up using Sexton or Clarkson.

Then, see how we can move up again using these picks, in combination with other future picks. We might be able to move up to 5 for Walker, 10 for Wallace, AND from 28 to ~20 where we could snag someone else.

The Lakers just paid $4 million to move up 7 spots in the 2nd round. You’re not buying any great picks this year.
