asking... why did we take him him over Mikal Bridges or SGA?

Haha . play nice though

to be fair, KK's first two years in terms of team turmoil, shifting roles etc has been horrible. One year -- do whatever you want; second year -- let's not play to your stengths and put your weaknesses in high focus

Before we sell him low; let's see what some structure and stability would do.

I feel like you are pretty spot on with the top picks. Without any trades:

Edwards, Wiseman, LaMelo with top 3 picks.

Chicago has a lot of depth and salary at the 3/4 positions so Deni would be a tough initial fit for a year or 2, he would be behind Otto Porter, Thadd, and Satoranský, and then you have Wendell at the 4. Right now they have Zach, Dunn and Coby White as their PGs with Dunn expiring? Can see Chicago taking a flier on Hayes and letting him marinate off bench for a bit.

I can see CLE going for Deni or Obi. If wins are a priority, Obi even though they have a glut at 4/5.

Alt goes shooting and playmaking off bench. The got Capella and Collins and pass on Onyeka

No idea what Detroit does but Onyeka or Okoro or Obi? All the O's. Onyeka

1. Minnesota
2. Golden State
3. Charlotte
4. Chicago - Hayes
5. Cleveland - Deni
6. Atlanta - Haliburton
7. Detroit - Onyeka
8. New York - ????

Rumors are the Bulls really like Deni..... plus none of their SF’s are the long term fit.

I keep looking at teams and I think if there is any team that bites on a trade with the warriors it’s the Pistons. Pistons can absorb Wiggins, or just trade Kennard for Looney and LaMelo and the warriors could get Okoro or Vessel who I think fits way more what they want.

I also feel the Hornets take Wiseman, they wanted Drummond last year and they really have a need at center.

I read a few places fans like Hayes way better than most scouts do and I see him falling into the late lottery.

Haliburton is exactly what the hawks want to put around Young.

Kira is the 3rd PG in this draft in my opinion and might have the most upside. He can create in the half court and we need that, a lot. People say he might fall, but with the Suns picking right after us I don’t think the knicks should take that chance.

Wouldn't even mind if they said anything funny, but they literally just post a twitter of laughter and somehow that's some sort of hilarious quip. Can't wait til we can kick their asses!

Add Kellerman to that list. That smug sumbitch should stick to boxing.

Yeah you might be right on Deni and Chicago, Porter probably there for another year and then Thadd and Satoransky will be gone a year later. In that case I see Obi or Onyeka to CLE, probably Toppin.

If somehow Detroit takes Okoro, Onyeka would be available at 8 and I'd guess that Knicks would think long and hard about taking him.

1. Minnesota
2. Golden State
3. Charlotte
4. Chicago - Deni
5. Cleveland - Obi

Idk I think that Oneyeka, Precious, J Smith, and Paul Reed are so close together skill wise you just want to try and grab whoever drops to 27.

Based on the rumors there is a lot of smoke that Detroit likes Hayes and his 3pt shooting ability fits Casey's system that uses 3's. Plus there is a strong French connection/scouting there.

I still think the Knicks pick Kira (if they are smart). This is the strongest PG draft since 2009 and he is the clear 4th and possibly 3rd best PG.

I would still like to see if they can move up from #27 into the late teens.

Interesting draft. Would mean Onyeka is still on the board at #8. I wonder if GS would engage NY at this point... with GS's desire to go after Giannis aside.

For the Knicks, it would absolutely mean taking on Wiggins and including #27, #38 going to GS. Portis (for his terminated contract), Bullock/Ellington for bench shooting and depth going to GS. GS gets close to luxury line?

LaMelo, RJ, Wiggins, ?, Mitch
