    It all started with breaking Nash/Dirk. How many times the bball gods tried to gift this franchise? The only thing good was trading for Dirk, but letting go of defensive Chandler after they won a ring. Some franchises are not meant to be great.
    Dirk took less money so they could sign Chandler Parsons.

    They have enormous salary cap issues. This probably gets them to trade a few players with JT being out for a year.
    They have, but they are able to run it again next season, if owner pays the tax for doing it.

    Harper better than expected 37 inch vertical. Almost 7 foot wingspan. Cooper Flagg only 35 inch vertical (Duke lied said he was 40). We may have the better player long term at 2.

    Watching Derik Queen finish dead last in every athletic testing category hurts my heart a little but could he fall to 14?

    his athleticism has been his biggest knock and question mark throughout this entire process, its completely unsurprising he'd perform poorly

    but no we wont fall to 14. i dont think he gets past brooklyn (i think he goes earlier to Wizards)

    Dylan Harper is looking better & better. I'm all in on him, Giannis can go wherever he wants, but he's not coming here if it costs Castle / 2nd pick

    We don’t want that fat blob at 14. Hope someone takes him before us so Brian wrong doesn’t it up. I want Fleming , nesengue, or derringer at 14. Hopefully Fleming or NES at 14 and trade 38 and package of stops to move up get berringer. Resign Mamu and our other young center from this year. Sign 3 and D mid level. Dunzo.

    barring trades, this is how i see the draft playing out

    1 - Mavs will take Flagg
    2 - Spurs will take Harper. no overthinking it.
    3 - Sixers will take Bailey. they have no means of rebuilding and have no choice but to run it back. they have good young guards, need frontcourt scoring.
    4 - Hornets take VJ. BPA, and is a good fit for them as well. gives them defense and good off-ball play alongside Ball/Miller
    5 - Jazz take Tre Johnson. they need legit perimeter scoring juice. i think they like Collier and he needs good shooting outlets other than Lauri
    6 - Wizards take Queen. they need an offensive hub/generator and Sarr is potentially a great complement to Queen's strengths and weaknesses
    7 - Pelicans take Kon. they need shooting and connectivity. i dont know that they can trade mccollum, but i think they want another option at guard alongside murray
    8 - Nets take Jaku. they need someone to run the show and bring maturity to their offense.
    9 - Raptors take Maluach. theyve been linked to him for quite a while. poeltl has one year left and then a player option. if Johnson/Kon were available, i think they'd go that way

    past that i dont have nearly as strong an opinion. no clue what rockets, blazers would do. i dont see Sorber getting past both Chicago and ATL though. think he's an awesome fit for either.
    Kon to UTA seems obvious

    tbh... i could see it. but i think they'll be looking for way more firepower than a connective piece/role player

    Hoping we get Harper and Fleming or Sorber.
    The ability to run with Harper, Fox, Castle, & Sochan would get us much closer to OKC as far as pace.

    Having 4 speedsters players switch everything + Wemby roaming would be a wild defensive scheme.

    can see Fleming being forged into the next Naz. I hope we get that chance.

    Tatum clearly tore his achilles, but Celtics are stacked and can wait for being ready for next season playoffs
    Celtics are in salary cap (224M) and can’t likely afford to keep everyone and now Tatum injury really hurts too. Interesting to see what they do this off season and who if anyone gets moved (Jrue? Derrick? A bigger player like Brown?)

    Fleming as of now would be a dream pick at 14 for me. Followed by Carter Bryant. Maybe Noah Penda or maybe Wolf if SA gets creative?

    Connective tissue is whiter than muscle though.

    Jrue is natural candidate. Or maybe they get for injury tax relief since Tatum will be shutdown for regular season at least. I dont know NBA rules about it, in NHL it's a thing

    People are slow to adjust to the new reality.
    I keep seeing potential starting lineups with Fox and Castle in the backcourt!

    Harper is already a better shooter than Castle and can likely be a better fit in the SL because of that.
    It might not happen right away because he's a rookie, but by midseason I expect that would be the move.
    Harper can already hit the open catch and shoot 3 at a good %, and he would get a lot of those next to Fox and Wemby.
    Harper's penetrating ability would also punish anyone chasing him off the line.

    Castle can continue to get 25-30 mins a night playing Wing and backup PG until he figures out his jumper.

    I'd love to keep CP3 to mentor all of these guys if he's willing to be in a player/coach role with 10-15 minutes a night.
    Eventually I see Castle and Harper together as the best backcourt in the NBA.

    Don’t work too hard and getting picked before 14. Fleming would be a perfect fit at 14 with the 9’1 standing reach, defense and firepower, shockingly similar with Sorber also at 9’1 because I love Sorber. Damn it’s a hard pick if both are available at 14. Dejounte??

    I’ll go with Sorber because I feel like he is a mirror copy of Timmy and he can learn a lot from Timmy tbh

    mirror copy as in the measurements are exactly the same, their style of offense, focus on defense, etc.
