The hornets quietly having a great draft too. Talk about building around your star. Lamelo now has bridges, bouk, and kai to run with. That's going to be so fun to watch. Man, happy for the Hornets. Love to see organizations break out of the ashes.
Duarte, Moody, Kispert, and Sengun ... all of these players are picked after Primo ... if this kid is not in a trade package or is the replacement for a player on this roster that got traded .... THERE NEEDS TO BE A TRADE!!!
Kia Jones to Charlotte ... Hornets replace Monk with Bouknight, Zeller with Plumlee, and Biyombo with KIA JONES at 19!!! Melo going to be lobbing to EVERYONE on that team!! Good grief what a night ... and it's not even over ...

Predictably, Kai Jones and Jalen Johnson are sinking like stones.
people here hoping for a trade stop being delusional
I just think DDR to Warriors is like a plan C for them. I like Beal and Siahkam and like their plan A. Simmons appears unattainable due to Sixers demands. Wiseman could also be an option for the Spurs. Poeltl for Wiseman. DDR for Wiggins.
Spurs will break out too in 2028 when Primo enters his prime
I agree with the majority good potential but a terrible waste of lottery pick value.
Why couldn't they trade down or acquire future picks/assets?
It's a real head scratcher an disappointing use of the #12.
Hopefully there is some sort of trade an free agency move in play that makes some sort of sense but with this FOs history. Outlook is grim.
I wouldn't put it past them to trade for Kuzma still.
They're not busts IMO. Wiseman is a nba player. Maybe not a star, but a player. Kuminga ran the gleague with ease. He's an NBA player. Maybe not a star, but a player. Moody is a very safe pick. Can play defense and had star potential as well. He faded games but also took over games.
Kuminga and Wiseman could be stars, but their floor is already better than quite a few. I think they're doing great with what they have. No pick is assured but if one or two of those hit, they're well ahead of other organizations. Curry and klay ain't going anywhere anytime soon. They have plenty of time to develop those guys or flip them.

Kai Jones sucks. Settle down.
Kuminga is like 21-22 year old at minimum.
Moody is a nice prospect.
Wiseman is a failed pick. Low basketball IQ, low ceiling young prospect.
So is this them trying to do their George Hill thing, except in the lottery. I get it when you are picking 28, but 12?
You mean when he graduates.
Knicks were an option to trade down but our FO is still bitter about the Morris situation. Probably blacklisted NY
if you think that the Hawks were offering #20 and Cam Reddish to trade up this is even dumber
Two straight picks lotta talent on the board
Im sure spurs were fielding calls but they really liked the players blah blah blah
You're really stretching it. It's a horrible sign that the Warriors are already trying to get rid of Wiseman. He's clueless out there, doesn't even understand the game at a college level (small surprise, leaving college). Kuminga looks like Jabari Parker to me. The upside of these players is highly exaggerated. They're going to drive Kerr crazy.

anything to make the team worse is always on the board. They'll probably trade Murray to get him

Houston with two of the top talents in the draft. Kudos to them.
He's got some real talent, and will be stashed because of his buyout. A good deal for the rockets, as they don't want a complete horde of rookies...
