Following Potential 2018 Draftees

That’s the crazy thing about picks that far in the future. Nobody knows how good the Heat will be 3 years from now. That could be a top-5 pick. Very savvy move by them. You get the guy you want and an unprotected pick.

Specifically on the heat... Riley may not be around and they are capped out and aging... I’d guess they are a 7/8 seed for the next year or two and Dragic can bolt... they might be full rebuild and LBJ ain’t walking through that door... probably.

Not great from Phoenix... I think they may try to short the process to appease their “star”.
 
If I was Philly I would have kept Mikal. He seems like such a perfect basketball fit next to Embiid and Simmons. Better fit than Smith. That said I don't think it was a bad trade for Philly. I liked Zhaire more than most people. Getting a first round pick too isn't a bad deal.

He’s good for sure but what if he’s a better shooting Wesley Johnson... I think he has a skill set they can find in FA... if he was a little bigger and could guard the LeBrons and Tatums I’d be more in... not sure I would have gone with Smith if I was them... might have gone with a guy more skilled and less athlete like Huerter or A blend of both like Walker.

They have their core, picking up an unprotected 1st AND a high-upside player they were thought to be drafting at 10 anyway is superb asset management.

Mikal Bridges doesn't swing their fates one way or another anyway.
 
Like if Philly doesn’t get LBJ or PG they can sign KCP and get a lot of what Mikal would bring... so many acronyms

Like if they regret the trade could they trade that pick and get a guy doing some or most of the things Mikal does? I think so... plus they got Zhaire who they like. I’m not sure on him but he has some fans for sure.
 
Gilgeous-Alexander is now the longest last name in NBA history dethroning Michael Carter-Williams

Philly fans are livid with the trade down to 16 btw. but they are silly and shortsighted. The 76ers are planning ahead, getting an unprotected 2021 pick is like buying a lotto ticket wiht some good odds, that draft will be extremely top heavy, perhaps the mos top heavy since this one..

They're about to get into a bidding war for Kawhi, and if not Kawhi then another star player. I think they wanted an extra trade asset to land a star.
 
Portland made some weird selections. The last thing that they needed was to add a few more offensive minded guards who aren't strong defenders. So naturally they went out and drafted two more ooffensive minded guards who aren't strong defenders lol.
