my predictions

top of draft
suns-- aayton --> clearly Len is a goner and/or Chandler if possible
kings -- Bagley --> WCS, Giles, some greek guys I can't remember, some longer SFs like JJ. Where will the minutes go
hawks -- Trae --> Shroeder era comes to an end?
Grizz -- JJJ -> nothing clear hear other than they probably still want to dump Parsons and compete now
Dallas -- Doncic --> does this eat into Barnes's playing time, Matthews's, DSJ's (if nothing else who holds the ball when they're on court together)
Magic -- Bamba --> end of the Vucavic (sp?) era.

Sixers: one of their SGs has to be a goner. Was Reddick worth the money; French guy with hyphened name will probably be a goner (the little I saw of him, I liked)

others:
Milwaukee: so many trade rumors. Pretty clear they don't like their current roster and were supposedly willing to trade last year's #1 Wilson, Maker still a biq question mark in my eyes. Shoes will drop.

lakers: not really draft related but have to imagine that lakers would be happy to unload Lonzo by now, especially if they were to get James.

What are your thoughts??

If Kanter goes, I would be interested in trying out Len or WCS if they do become available, if not then maybe try Noel.

Shroeder I think will be traded to either the Suns or Magic- I think maybe the Magic for Vujavic (they have no PG and have to clear out some of their front court).

I wonder how drafting Bamba, and having Issac impacts the Magic with regards to re-signing Gordon. I'm not sure a max contract makes sense in that context.

I don't think Bamba impacts things at all. I haven't seen enough of Isaac to make that call. Generally, I don't think the Magic should make that big an impact in Gordon. I don't see a budding superstar in Gordon. The move would be to trade him for assets.

Bamba, Gordan, Isaac will be the frontcourt of the future with high defense and switch potential. Who can also space the floor.

Looks like Clips are either preparing to lose or trade D-Jordan --- rumor = Mavs.

Mavs (not sure if related) let Dougie McDermott become a unrestricted free agent today --- clearing cap? Or -- maybe just due to Doncic coming on board.
