More Oklahoma connections. Weaver certainly didn't get rewarded for having to tank for several years then gets let go.

Nah totally fine sticking at #2.

 

[ChaosLord]

Nah totally fine sticking at #2.

So long as it's either Sarr or Sheppard, I have no problem with the #2.

Only please not "Bambi". Risacher's play is awfully timid for a big man.
Not #2 material IMO.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Risacher is -250 to go 1st
Sarr is -650 to go 2nd

If you have an idea of where Clingan is picked you can make some money. Hes not favored in any draft slot

 

[Roric]

Sarr or bust

 

[usiel]

I'm sort of stock down of Risacher. Lack of explosive athleticism sounds like he can't create his own shot. I'm kinda leaning towards one of Sarr/Castle.

2024 NBA Draft: 'Uncertainty' is the theme for 1st-round prospects, even those at the top

With no decisive top prospect, NBA teams have been preparing for all kinds of volatility and movement up and down the draft board.

sports.yahoo.com

“I’ll play for any team that drafts me,” Sarr said Tuesday. “For me, the most important thing is if a team is willing to take a chance on you, you just have to go there and play hard. There’s no such thing as being picky or not wanting to go somewhere.”

Have a feeling the Hawks will take him

That second one with all the weird statuses/swaps just locks my brain up.

I think Clingen goes 3 or 4.

 

[usiel]

John Holinger still has Holland as the best prospect in the draft. Risacher at 13 in his latest.

I have a feeling the Wizards want him more badly than the fans realize. I see a trade in the works.

So crazy. The Nets just acquired a draft pick to select someone who is 11 years old right now. There’s an 11-year-old out there who’ll be drafted in 2031 with a pick the Nets acquired today. Seriously mental.

The (edit) Knicks now have four members of the 2016 National Champion Villanova roster. At this point they might as well go all in and replace Thibodeau with Jay Wright.

Agreed w @usiel — Hawks can go f*** themselves, if they want assets for playing a game of chicken.

Take Saar. I dare you. Or trade out. Whatever. I’m happy w Risacher or even Shepherd/Clingan.

We got this.

PS — if we could get 13 and a future first for Kuzma? Shop his ass out now. Like right now.

Oh, and we can take back whatever salary you want (3rd team?) to get more draft capital.

Come to Papa!

Err .. you mean the Knicks?

And did they just give up 5 (FIVE!!) 1sts, a pock swap, and a 2nd?!?!?

For one player? What in the what???

I don’t even …

(And that 2nd trade … I don’t even know what it means. I got confused and decided to eat some ice cream. I feel better now).

Yeah, it will be disappointing if he's still here when the draft starts (or when the Kings pick). Just hope they aren't getting greedy and asking for too much.

Yeah I meant the Knicks. I blame that second trade for scrambling my brain.

Agreed here. I'd even say if you can get him for just multiple future firsts (with no or light protections), do it. Getting another 1st in next year's draft should be priority #1 tonight.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I heard them discussing on ESPN how the Knicks have been accumulating draft assets for years to swoop in eventually and overwhelm a trade partner with an offer they can’t refuse…..they sure did that. This might put them over the top….
