Dude Spurs already have Sochan as undersized PF who can’t shoot
We might as well just set the league on fire if he’s there at #14 and we let Okc nab him…

I really do like CMB and think he could likely be a steal in the teens, but we just really can’t afford to take another non-shooter at 14 unless it’s a center. Would suck to see him go to OKC though.
For this reason I am hoping that Phoenix takes him at 10. CMB stopped being an option for SA at 14 as soon as they got the #2 pick, but if I had to pick one guy in this draft that can give Wemby major issues it’s him. Absolutely do not want him in OKC, hoping he goes to literally any other team
OKC is very likely to move up to grab a player they want, maybe a player we want. Just get used to it. They have assets to burn.
Even if OKC doesn't move up, someone's favorite potential pick will be available for them and the we are doomed posts will be start coming out.
I wonder if the supposed Spurs interest in Sorber is to put pressure on OKC to use an asset to jump them. Tis the season of misdirection
Yes, it's very much a possibility.
Even if OKC wants to jump to 10, I don't really think PHX would do that. They need to bring in a player now to save face and offer their fans a consolation prize for losing KD.
Is there another angle that I'm missing here?
The thing is even if it's not ideal CMB might end up the BPA at 14. Not my personal choice, but he would be more ready then alot of the other Prospects we are wanting.
Beringer - Project
Essengue - leaning towards Project (higher potential)
Fleming - Needs development
Sorber - somewhat mixed
Coward - Most NBA ready other than CMB
Bryant - ideal
I'm thinking Bryant and Essengue will be gone by our pick.
Of your list I like Sorber, Bryant, Fleming in that order
If they acquire Porzingis, they'd presumably intend to extend him, in which case I'd switch most likely from Sorber to Coward.

Look at that shooting form
I’m predicting that the Suns have done ZERO meaningful draft prep for #10, and will draft the trendiest name available. If Malauch is gone, I have a feeling they’ll take Coward.
I was really interested in trading back with Brooklyn, if possible, but now that they have the 22, I think they can leap over us pretty easily and get a better pick.
Maybe, the down side of having 4 mediocre is that they are pretty devalued.
BKN calling up MIL "so... we're willing to offer 5 FRPs for MIL..."
This is funny.
Of course they have done draft prep.
They'll have so many options with those. If I'm PHX I try to get more than one rookie in; I'd be super interested in trading back. Brooklyn could trade the 19 and 26 or the 22 and the 26, the 19 and 22. I don't know how the values work out, but I'd definitely be listening to something along those lines for the 14.
That franchise famously thinks very little of the draft.
It's almost 100% certain it will be Jase Richardson for the Michigan State connection. Almost everyone hired this offseason at this point has come from there lol.
I'm thinking Okc will try to leap us to suns #10 with 15 and 24 and 44, probably better than what Brooklyn is offering. The price doesn't really matter to okc, just as long as they get the guy they want. They don't have room for those picks anyway.
Thunder have to burn assets in some way and their needs are very narrow. They can't just tack on more rookies, they don't have the slots. I also expect they'll jump up, but don't know if it will be a big. Could be an Essengue or Carter Bryant.
Yeah I agree completely. I think they like more or less the same ones we do unfortunately haha.
Want- Sorber
expectation- Beringer
Reality- Reynaud
