I think they'll buy at least a second round pick, but we probably won't hear about it until the draft itself.

The Jerian Grant trade last year materialized at the very last minute. I think teams sift through their offers on draft night and if there's no player they love on the board, they look at trade/pick selling offers.

We don't really have anything we would trade to get into the first round though. But with $3M to spend, we can buy a second rounder or two - hopefully early second rounders.

I have a feeling Big Chief Triangle is buying a late 1st rounder and a couple of 2nd rounders. I see one of the late first rounders from the Sixers going to us.

why would a team sell a draft pick? I know its done a lot. but what's the thinking? do they really need the cash?

why not just pick a guy, have him in training camp and if it doesn't work cut him.

actually yeah they do. most teams are not as rich as dolan's

Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

This is the guy we should zone on. Hes 6-5 225 SG who's proficient at offense and defense.

also many teams might face a logjam, already having a bunch of young players that they're struggling to provide minutes to, and then having 6 picks in one draft (e.g., see Celts).

Yeah i like Brogdon a lot. He's not the most athletic guy but he does have a good all around game and plays good defense.
