I've already noted that Okoro and RJB make a poor tandem.
We really need a guard or wing shooter.

WiseMan makes little sense when we have Mitch.
Toppin could apprentice under Randle a year, but drafting a poor defending PF is underwhelming.  At PF, I would take Okongwu, who is a beast.

WiseMan is a good fit for GSW, but do they really want to use their #2 pick on a C?
I wouldn't. Can't they just pick up Dwight, McGee, a Plumlyzeller type, or a Biyombo on the cheap?  Kanter and Len will likely be available for not much. Though they probably want a defender/lob target.*

Edwards could be a nice pick to both help now and build for the future. I like the Edwards pick if they flip Wiggins for Love. Add in Love as a vet rebounder, stretch 4. Then get the fresh legs and energy of Edwards, and just have one mistake prone scoring yute instead of two.   That's how I would go it.

* Here's an unlikely hypo:
Would folks be willing to trade Mitch & the #8 pick to GSW for the #2 pick?
NYK would get Ball or Edwards, a blue chip G.
We'd lose a very promising young defensive C to move up.
GSW would get a long defensive cog and rim assaulter.
Mitch could look terrific there.  A Mitch-Dray backline.
And they'd still get to draft a Vassell, Haliburton, Hayes type offender.
Could be a good deal for both teams. Provided Knix hit on the pick and get a future AS type.
Mitch & Vassell for Ball. Or Mitch & TyH for Edwards. Some permutation like that.
With the cupboard bare, can Knix afford to do a 2-for-1 to upgrade at G?
Any takers?

NO

Mitch's future salary would be at issue.  I'd think about it.  GS would have to kick something in.

[kiidcarter8]

Wolves would first need to pass on LaMelo

[bodiddley]

It is a weak draft with no clear cut future stars.
And reportedly a lot of teams willing to trade down.
So if the trade needs balancing, could be:

#2 pick & Looney for #8 & Mitch
Would give us a C replacement.

If that goes too far, could be:
#2 pick & Chriss = #8 & Mitch

Marquese is young (23) and bouncy.  Had a solid season for GSW, but is limited for now.If they got Mitch, Chriss would be expendable for them.

[facilitatorn]

Keep Mitch. Take the guy available at 8. Use later picks and space to move into the teens if possible.

You better believe.

#2 pick & Chriss = #8 & Mitch

Kill that noise.

It looks like BoZ is determined to get rid of him. BoZ don't like Cs.

I was going to say that thankfully he don't run the team, but unlike most here, I distrust new management and coaching staff.

Does anybody know where Miller is heading? I'm looking for a new team to root for.

[bodiddley]

I like Mitch.  Think he's our best player.  I could be happy with 10 years of Mitch.
I don't know enough about Ball or Edwards to know if I'd do that deal.
I do think a starting PG is much more valuable than a starting C these days.

I'm fine keeping Mitch and drafting Vassell/TyH/Hayes at #8.
Though Ball & Looney for Mitch & #8 is intriguing.

I just don't know the draftees well enough to really have an opinion.
Proposing a deal isn't the same as advocating it.
I was just trying to think what would get us into the conversation for GSW's #2 pick.  And I think Mitch would get them interested.  Be a great fit there.

Randle and RJB will look better with a strong PG and some shooters.
FVV as a FA or Ball as a PG draftee would help a lot.

[kiidcarter8]

Warriors likely better off dealing with Charlotte - they'd be almost a guarantee to get Wiseman or Avdija - plus whatever CHA gives.

[kiidcarter8]

Jordan would of course take BALL.

[carlos123]

Jordan would of course take BALL.

He also took Kwame Brown.

[bodiddley]

Warriors likely better off dealing with Charlotte - they'd be almost a guarantee to get Wiseman or Avdija - plus whatever CHA gives.

Well, trade down slightly to draft a guy they prefer anyway is certainly good.
But hard to see what CHA has to offer.  Monk is expendable, but not likely a GSW priority.
Biyombo is available and could help GS but has a $17M price tag, so a trade doesn't work.

Anyway, GSW is in Win Now mode, so will likely try to pick up Dwight or another 15-20 min defensive C
on the cheap or with their MLE.  For all of Mitch's promise, he can still be mistake prone, as he's still developing.

[kiidcarter8]

Biyombo is a free agent

Monk, PJ Washington...... but likely future picks as well, may help GS.

Unlikely.... we'll see.

Excellent numbers for Trump

Mike Miller is still under a Knicks contract for next year.  Maybe he can re-join Westchester's coaching staff.
