Maybe if you get two 2nd rounders it makes a little more sense.

But you make a move to get 25 and 33 to then just flip it for an unknown pick 2 years away?

Still seems like we are missing something.


2023 looks like it is going to be the year of vaunted double draft. I think a lot of team will be stockpiling picks in 2023. Not mad at this.

Not yet it seems. But like the rest of the world, including NY beat reporters saying they confirmed and still can’t make sense of it.

The beat writers are being told it's done but nobody knows the details amd no national outlets have it yet. Bizarre...

Of course everyone could just be going off the one report.

The double draft is 2022..... unless they pushed it back again.

I'm still wondering if there's more to this Clippers trade, perhaps basic agreement is there as part of a larger trade?

Hoping anyways. Head scratcher at best, Oturu seems to be regarded as a solid pick at 33.

And it’s not like you are trading a lower second rounder for a possibly higher one.

It’s really confusing

i don't know the rules but wondering if it's part of a larger deal; otherwise makes little sense.

lots of other teams would have liked that high second rounder, last several years there have been some very decent players in that range

If there wasnt a deal on draft night to bring in a vet. They still might be trading one or more of our veteran bigs. And adding Otoro would be too much of a logjam.

If a deal(or no deal) keeps Mitch on the bench, it might explain why they didnt draft a backup center.

Seemed to me that they were consistently treating draft picks as options in case certain players were available. Once they were not available, they re-evaluated the value of the pick. They didn’t really want a third rookie on the team this year (and said as much).

So, it looks like they did a lot of running around to end up in the same place, but they had a lot more options to land a player that dropped the way they handled it. They consistently put themselves in a better position with more options with each move.

When they traded the 33, I think they didn’t like anything available versus a roster spot and instead took the best residual value they could get.

You know I gonna spin wit it

i'm not buying that a 2023 second rounder which lands who knows where is the best we could have gotten for a way at the top second rounder in a draft where there was a lot of parity from the mid to later middle first round

something has to be cooking or this was a flub up

Pushed back due to pandemic. People are speculating it'll be 2023.
