If we found a way to pick up SGA on top of our current pick I would be jumping for joy. He's one the players I like the most in this draft, definitely needs to put some weight on and isn't the greatest of passers but all reports say he's a crazy workaholic and I love his size and length.

Who do I want? Good question. The hope for me is Doncic or JJJ drop to 6 but seriously doubt that would happen. Worst case is all the bigs are gone but Porter at 6. If that happens then I think I would prefer trying to trade for the Clippers picks and pick up something like SGA and Zhaire Smith or hope that Mikal Bridges has dropped to that range somehow. Unsure with Young still. Think he is most likely to end up a 6th man rather than a star. Will get behind whoever the front office go with though and hope they turn into something special. Just wish the next 2 weeks would hurry up!

Hah we are polar opposites on this one. I think it would be a tragedy if we do pick him with 6. Enjoying the differing opinions though, everyone is entitled to their own ofc and I will happily hope he proves me wrong if he ends up our pick.

If Jackson dropped to 6 I would run around my street in just my boxers due to sheer excitement you don't pick Young when Jackson is still on the board.

He was the smallest player, lightest player (even after supposedly adding 10 pounds) had the smallest wingspan and smallest hand length at this weeks combine. That isn't 'slightly' below average, that is rock bottom. Adding in the other negative points that have been said already in this thread doesn't fill me with confidence in picking him because he can shoot and pass well. I would be highly disappointed if we targeted him with the 6th pick, with the state of the team we have we should be picking best player not best fit and at 6, Trae Young will not be the best player available. And I've already said I think Sexton could very well go before him.

I didn't say he wasn't quick, he is quick. He isn't athletic, they are 2 different things.

It's not his size that's the biggest concern, it's the lack of athleticism and defence. His wingspan was also the smallest of anyone at the combine which doesn't bode welll when you already lack athleticism. He's as likely to be a bust as he is a star and that scares people.

I agree, I prefer SGA out the point guards, can see him moving up the boards once he has had a few individual workouts and as crazy as it sounds I can see Weltman go for him, can guard multiple positions and is highly athletic. Sexton going before Young is a good possibility as well. I would prefer the Magic go with whoever drops out of the bigs though, there's enough talent late 1st round early 2nd round to pick up a point guard. Just go with best pick available and see what you can do with the team after. I think this will be one of the most fun drafts to watch in a while, think there will be some big movers!

Wonder what time the sacking of Vogel will be announced. I was one of those that was pretty excited to snag him 2 years ago. Didn't realise how bad his rotations actually were and definitely not a fan of his style of play. I will be happy to see him go if it gets announced. Not all his fault as the roster has massive issues and dressing room is clearly a mess but he's really not helped himself these past 2 years imo.

Quick, get Gordon outta there, raining 3's and blocking shots like no tmrw!

Our bench doing their job and keeping this close lul AAAAnd all insta benched after the timeout!

Did the clocks in the us change this weekend?

This, you cannot sign a player on a rookie contract that you currently have the rights to for a higher 1st year salary than the value of his current contract if it was declined. Any other team can however, offer more. Only way we are re signing Mario is if he agrees to do something similar to what Austin Rivers did with the Clippers.

I just don't see any way we get Mario re signed. The organisation can only offer peanuts.
