I'll be very surprised if we don't trade up.

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet

Fischer did say this. Whether or not you believe that it’s true is another story.

It’s not. That’s my point. I should say the chances it is are very slim.

That dunk at 1:40

I actually believe we will trade up. DET will likely be able to get Hendricks/Walker at #9…the two guys they should want. UTA can’t get Black at #9 and need #5 to secure it.

I hope we keep 16 and use a future pick instead but either way I’d be happy.

I actually think Detroit might prefer that too… lots of developing players there.

If we trade up for anyone but Whitmore (realistically) I'm gonna be upset.

 

[KqWIN]

The only thing that makes me think a trade won’t happen is….there’s almost too much smoke around this to real. We even have specifics about Black being a favorite of Hardy. Do trades like this in plain sight go through often?

This. Getting rid of 16 to get Black at 5 will be very underwhelming draft imo

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think Fischer is full of **** tbh

Walker, Black, a twin, would all also be fine with me.

He literally just reported yesterday that Tyus Jones was looking for a starting job and Memphis was going to look for a deal for him.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Apparently Black was a little reluctant to workout for Orlando due to their logjam of guards.

 

[The Midnight]

Is there a chance Black is there at 9 now that Washington just traded for Tyus Jones?

H’es not a starter…

 

[NUMBERICA]

Walker, Black, a twin, would all also be fine with me.

Look, if it’s all gravy then just stand pat at 9.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Here's my thing with Fischer, we don't here jack **** from this dude all year until the off-season then you hear from him non stop because he drops the spiciest rumors.

 

[stitches]

If Cy, Ferg and KqWIN are all on the same side hyping up a guy I want to be on the farthest ****ing opposite side of that. Talk about the three stooges who get dunked on consistently.

Why do you guys make this stuff so personal? None of us is that good at this thing... Hell, even NBA GMs are not amazing. If you post here long enough you will have some takes that look insane. No reason to invalidate people's opinions like that on a fan forum. It's ok for people to have different opinions on prospects ...

Well, it’s pretty likely those four are all gone at 9. Whitmore might be the most likely one still there at this point, and I still wouldn’t call it likely. If you love Hendricks then standing pat is the move I guess.
