Following potential 2015 draftees

[SojoDave]

New question.

Which guys in this draft would you trade #12 plus GSW's '17?

Mine;
Towns
Okafor
Russell

That's it.

Porzinga
Mudiay

Is this enough sir? For Russell , I would give up more I think. Maybe that you say and now of course trey and burks? I would do this as it frees up salary too.

Gsw's puck could be a high 20's to 30th pick. Is 2017 that deep?

that HS class (2016) looks very strong, dunno about how it will translate to the bottom of the 2017 first round. but I wouldn't be surprised if there were some pretty good PG's available in that range like the '09 draft.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Unless Hayward leaves, I'm not sure that the Jazz use either pick in 2017. My expectation is that they go "All in" and trade their future assets for whatever they determine is the missing piece after another year and a half of development. Depending on when the OKC pick gets conveyed, they could have 4 picks in 3 years (including at least one unprotected pick) that they can include.

"The discussed Wolves-Celtics is Anthony Bennett, Nos. 31 and 36 for No. 28"

Wow, Bennett must be just terrible. Wolves looking to just dump him.

The Orlando Magic has agreed to trade guard Luke Ridnour to the Memphis Grizzlies, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

.

The fact that there is no one(or at most very few) that would argue with Towns at no. 1 and plenty that would argue with Okafor no. 1 should tell you enough.

 

[Elizah Huge]

The draft starts with Philadelphia at #3.

 

[stitches]

Who would you target at #8?

I would rather;

Completely trade away our #12 for a pick within that range in '17. That would give us 3 firsts in '17 and a chance to get a franchise player that year. There are no players outside of the top 4 this year that really excite me.. and none at all that really, REALLY excite me.

That would be really hard to ensure. Hard to predict what will happen 2 years in the future. The best way to do it is to trade with a team that has 2 or more picks that year already and make the trade conditional on getting the best out of their picks. But I agree, if that draft is anything close to what it's hyped to be, it's worth to have as many immediate assets available as possible that year.

I disagree I think this starts at 5 with Orlando.

Looking more and more like

Towns-Okafor-Russell-Porzingis

I doubt New York takes Porzingis.. Don't know though, maybe you know something I don't.

Lot of talk of Sam Dekker going in the Top 10. This is a new development. Changes who will be on the board at 12

ESPN's Ryan Russillo was saying something similar this morning.

What top 10 team would select Dekker? I'm baffled.
