Keep your assets high for future moves.

With the value of this pick, you would expect more than just a future 1st. At least a second rounder as well.

Not excited with our first move.

I'm good with trading 19 -- no info on year or lottery protection of Hornets future #1 but it could be a good gamble.

Bouk hurts a little, Kai is a major project and I'm not sure I have the patience for that.

I'm not into Kai, but not sure I understand the trade with the talent on the board

Eh, we might not see him for a few years with the buyout. Let him develop in a high class organization and bring him in when he's ready.

Why so much Keon hate- best athlete in the draft. Lot of upside. Could be Spree like.

That was a smart move. Knicks didn’t want Kai. They can get a big later. Delayed gratification

Is this the type of excitement of a Thibs’ coached team at the draft? Trading the first 1st rounder you have? Are we trading all out picks for future picks so we never make a draft selection again because youth sucks.

Nah, I’m just bitter. Don’t like this move but whatever.

Guess there were not multiple Kentucky guys to use the 19th pick for. Jackson our only pick??

If its unprotected we are a Lamelo Ball injury away from a lottery pick.
