This is construed as a weak ass draft.

In years when this is true, the days leading up get fans all excited. We can give up cash, or players who we know can play for the hope and promise of a future prospect.

If Spurs are selling I'd be suspect as this is the team best at drafting and being patient with getting players and stashing them in the 4 corners of the world.

I, like most of you have no problem with us buying picks with other peoples money.

I'm positive that we can buy a pick and not have to give up anything more than money. There are always teams that have no use for a young prospect that isn't guaranteed of sticking or that they just don't have time to spend trying to develop.

I hope we are looking to buy late 1st rounders though history dictates thar usually we are the team that has prospects we don't want or have patience for.


or that we will use in a starphuck trade. Even if the team does buy 1st round picks, I'm sure the long-term goal is to use those players in a trade for someone who can sell a lot of jerseys.

This draft has some good talent in it, just not a lot of top line talent. Every draft has players that slip thru but go on to be good NBA players. The key is to be better than other teams at finding those players. Fields is a perfect example of this. I think this draft has a ton of role players. It's a mistake to blow off this draft cuz it's not full of top tier talent. Teams can help themselves finding key reserves and that's how i'd look at this draft.

Is there a limit to the amount a team can spend to get a first round pick? I thought was 2 million but I am not sure.

In a weak draft like this those 2 picks are like guaranteed contracts for 2nd round picks. No wonder they want to move up.

I read a rumor that the Bulls are looking to package 28 and 30 along with a player for Mayo.
