GSW probably wants Avidja or WiseMan.
So if they can move down, pocket an asset and still get one of those two, it seems like good strategy for them.  Avidja looks Top 5.  WiseMan harder to predict.

I guess some of it is how badly does CHI or DET want either Ball or Edwards.
And would they be fine with Hayes instead.

Interesting draft with seemingly everyone willing to trade down.

Zach Lowe mentioned a deal with Sacto giving up Rich Holmes, Bjelica, the #12 pick and a future "lightly protected" 1st for the #2 pick.
And then he thought that wouldn't be enough.
Holmes is a tough mofo (love him).  Bjelica can shoot.
#12 likely gets you Saddiq Bey or Nesmith.
To me that's a decent haul for #2 (Ball or Edwards).
Then to have another 1st thrown in and say it's still too light.  Hmmm.

I thought LowZach overvalues the #2 pick this year in a parity draft without obvious standouts.  Otherwise, the problem is SAC doesn't really need more G's.  They have Fox at Point and either Hield or Bogdan at SG.  Though the Kings always seem to do weird stuff and stumble around.

about homeless and indigent types not getting correct coronavirus protection information, it appears those who take their Rona info from Potus get the disease the most:

Hoopshype today has GS loving Edwards.  Changes daily.  They see him as possible face of franchise post-Steph.  Makes some sense

[kidcarter8]

Cavs dealing down from 5 is becoming a topic

One price stated for NY was Knox, the 8 and the 27 (eaaaasy, Chip)

Looking at it from King's perspective I'd be thinking that not much would be given up in that deal to get the 2

Holmes and Bjelica can't really be considered building blocks

[kidcarter8]

I would think Avdija or Edwards would be excellent King's fits, as would Okoro.

[bodiddley]

Two #12 picks (this year and future) + Holmes & Bjelica?
Not enough?

GS needs to find a way to build up their bench, so adding two role playing vets works for them.  Plus #12 in this draft should be fairly good.  (Bey/Nesmith)

I still like GSW adding a rook (Avdija, Edwards, WiseMan) if they also flip Wiggy for Love.

Avdija only makes sense if they flip Wiggins.  Not sure WHY, after they exchanged Russell for him.  But Love WOULD Make sense.  Would be a center on the Warriors.

Doubt Lewis is there that deep into the draft.  I would think he is a Pat Riley pick.


Vernon Carey listed as the Heat pick, which would make me throw up.

I think this draft is plenty deep.

May need to really follow a second team this year after seeing the 11/18 results

I think too many fans think positional when it comes to the draft.  Certainly the young Avdija could come off the bench at the outset in GS - and play occasionally with Wiggins/Klay/Steph as well. 
That said - if they remain at 2, I agree with today's Hoopshype assessment that they go with Edwards, if not Wiseman.

to Lebron James in particular, but all the other NBA players and coaches who used their influence to push for expanded voting access, such as at NBA Arenas. You best believe it made a difference.

- You best believe it, I voted at MSG.

- 55 IQ, here I gotta defend our own Chamaco Cartero. He’s at least 56!

Ohhhhh, I am so jealous. Didn't even think about doing that. Imagine, doing my part to cast out the malevolent fuck from the confines of that sacred space ...

Marc Berman continues to hype his jive Carmelo to NY if we get Chris Paul bullshit. 

A) We are not getting Chris Paul.  If there is a move, it would be to a contender. 

B) Melo was a very nice fit in Portland, where he filled a need and accepted his role, and where the presence of drop dead outside shooters like Lilliard and CJ McC made his game more effective.

I believe it was our old comrade Biz who was a Kidd-Gilcrhist enthusiast. 

He is only 27, and as a Kentucky/CAA alum and defensive specialist, who has now evolved into a singular role player, makes a certain amount of sense as he would be affordable and can give us coverage at the 2-3-4. 

Has had injury issues, and his FG% last year was fucking worse than ever, but his FT percentages were hovering around 80%, in admittedly light minutes, and he was an effective role player. 

If we were to pick up Bullock's option, and let Harkless walk (think Nyets), go, Gilcrhist would represent a beefier version of Maurice, and if the price is right, another Kenticky alum of some note. 

All that goes out the window if we draft Okoro. 

Thirteen [13] daze till the daft. 

Things seem more volatile than ever.
