Following potential 2015 draftees

Why? That doesn't make sense. If Sactown offers their pick that's better than 2 late first rounders.

Because you would want assets in future drafts. You aren't going to rebuild with 3 draft choices in the current draft, you want multiple draft choices spread out over the next few years. When going young, you want several bites of the apple (multiple first round picks) so you can swing for the fences a little more instead of pinning all of your hopes on one choice a year. The three teams that can give you that are Utah, Philly, and Boston. Of the three, Boston has the most motivation.

Of course I am assuming that Denver's management is competent. They did sell us Gobert for 3 million dollars, sooooo. . .

Yeah, that's a bit concerning to me. If WCS drops, that means Turner will move up the boards because of it. Would we be okay with WCS at 12, even though of medical issues?

Yeah, you take him even if you only plan to sell him. The worst case is that you get stuck with a third elite rim protector, limiting his minutes right off the bat shouldn't be an issue. His foot issue is not really comparable to Borchardt. . .

It depends on how serious the issues are. It seems strange that this would come out at the last minute, but I guess the same happened last year with Embiid.

If teams pass on WCS, then yes, it could mean they take Winslow or Turner instead.

It's interesting for the Knicks, since WCS was one of their trade-down targets. So I suppose it could open the opportunity for a team in our range to trade up to 4.
 
Interesting news tidbits...

-- Rockets pursuing Sergio Llull, would dampen their need for a PG in the mid-first.

-- Knicks floating rumor that they'd take Kaminsky at 4; playing cat-and-mouse with their trade-down partners. Like "screw you guys, we're prepared to go scorched earth."

Kaminsky appears to be a prime target for New York. Amazing they'd pass on Porzingis, Mudiay and Hezonja, if true. Phil Jackson sure loves them triangles.

-- Dario Saric won't come over to the Sixers this season. Seems like Sixers are starting from scratch again...

Knicks taking Kaminsky at 4 would be epic!!!! The Knick fans there would burn the joint down. Phil would get snooty and defensive. The drama would be better than any Knick game for the past decade. Please make this happen!!!!

They won't. The negotiations for #4 will come down to the final minutes. Several teams could be involved. Phoenix, Jazz, Nuggets, Celtics, etc.

Knicks should trade back to the 6 - 9 range to take Kaminsky. The Heat showing interest in Kaminsky could be a head-fake, but it adds pressure to the situation.

I just don't understand why if you're the Knicks you chase Kaminsky when you can just draft Porzingis. But I understand they're not a patient franchise.
 
Phil Jackson loves playing mindgames. He could be hyping Kaminsky to get a team to take him with the aim of extorting the Knicks. At which point, Jackson just laughs, takes Lyles and says, "Good luck with Kaminsky."
