Lowe: Someone in league texted me and said there's a little bit of buzz about 2 for 11 + Aldridge

So, you think that means it could happen? Not likely. Just some guy on a message board, as opposed to Lowe, who’s a national figure and source.

I really don’t think they go all in on a draft like this. I could be wrong. But with the current young I don’t see 3 firsts. Or 2. A movie up I could see

Regardless, who would you take at 2, 4 and 11?

I heard the Hornets were also looking at Okungwu. Then I also saw somewhere that the Wolves were looking at taking LaMelo Ball with their pick, whether they keep him or trade his rights. I guess we'll find out next Wednesday.

Why would they want to invest in a year where players have been on their own for so long? No summer league, probably a short preseason and a short season. I’m not just talking about a perceived weak draft. If they move up to snag a guy they like cool. But why add so many? They need to figure out what they have. Not flood it.

The question is nonsensical if you don’t believe we’ll get those picks. It’s like the poll thread for which players posters don’t want back that included neither Marco nor Bryn.

At #2, I’d pick Wiseman. We won’t get #4, and #11 will go to GS in the trade, a pick swap.

If we have to give up #11, I'm hoping we could get an additional first rounder to get Jalen Smith.

I feel like the Hornets are bluffing by putting out rumors painting them as bullish on big men. Regardless, I don't think Minny picks Wiseman at all, and if the team that lands #2 doesn't pick up Wiseman, I could see Okongwu falling to #6-8 range, where the Spurs could more easily trade up. I've been interested on Onyeka, so I hope the Spurs are considering him. Hadn't heard anywhere about the Wolves rumor, got a source? That thing about "whether they keep him or trade him" sounds like the Wiseman rumor linked to them.

I saw the LaMelo rumor on CBSSports.com earlier.

Warriors could be in some shit if no one takes Wiggins contract

A few years ago, he didn't enjoy putting in the work for a WCF team because of the "my touches" bullshit. Would he say there was something wrong him back then?

Only if Sa is rerouting Wiggins to a 3rd team and not taking on salary. No way they eat a big deal and swap picks.

Misconception. Typical media leak. He explained why he was unhappy with Pop. He responded with an excellent season.

Maybe Pop thinks he can help turn Wiggins into a star.

Anyway this is all probably just a rumor since the NBA draft is getting closer. Warriors probably want to keep the #2 pick and trade Wiggins for LMA. Spurs will have to give them Murray to get that #2 pick.

Spurs need to make moves and do a partial rebuild, staying pat is going to produce more of the same. Duncan, Manu, Kawhi, Tony are long gone.

This morning I heard on SiriusXM a trade proposal of LMA to the Dubs centered around the #2 overall pick and fill-ins to make the numbers work. Wiseman to the Spurs in a rebuild? Do it RC.

I get the impression he always worked on his type of game. Hated it when people were trying to teach him something new until he finally gave in with the teachers.

You say bigs are in good supply. I put good bigs, who are the good bigs that are in such large supply?

---

Ive seen Golden State shopping the pick but haven't seen Philly, Milwaukee, and Phoenix trying to trade. for that pick. Let alone teams rejecting deals for the number 2 pick.

That doesn't really make sense because teams can't even make trades. Also trade talks probably haven't gotten serious enough, with the uncertainty regarding the cap and tax, which just got clarified today.

- I don't understand your question. I said bigs are in good supply and Poeltl is likely to get squeezed in RFA. He's good but the teams with cap or the full MLE don't need him because they have their own centers. It's a deep position.


I also said Aldridge is among the best bigs but at his point in his career isn't enough of a return to justify GSW trading the number 2 pick for -straight up. Spurs would need to add the number 11 pick and probably another asset.

disagree. Aldridge plus 11 should be plenty. No home run hitters in this years draft. 11 will still get them a pretty comparable pick. Aldridge still has 3 years at around this production IMO. He can protect the paint and stretch the floor plus be a great post up option and solid pnr player. His game is aging well. May need to get a 3rd team involved for the salary filler since Wiggins might be a deal breaker for either GS or SA depending on how the market fairs.
