How I feel to a T.

Only thing is, are any of those draftees as good or better than Kemba as a pro?

If Young or Sexton isn't, it's probably worth it to not stress the draft. Will Donicic be any better than Mario? What about Ayton? 

So you hold firm at top 6 protections

I'm still referring to draft positioning. Like you said, possibly 8th pick.

If Sexton, Young, Donicic, Ayton, turn out to be bigger pieces than Kemba, we missed out again in the draft.

Let me try and find it. Just out eating a meal. It was Vooch and Evan for Mcroberts.. Noel.. Seth Curry and Pick to us 

[Jay Magic 1,233]

Would you do Kemba and Swap first this years 1st with them  P4TW or anybody else? 

Say we get 1-3 and Charlotte get 8-10

Bare in mind the Hornets want to rid the bad contracts. I don't want nobody off them though. Especially not Batum.

If we get kemba from them I think they might drop so low that we might finish ahead of them so I don’t think they would do that

That’s way too good of a deal for us I’d have to think. That’s a henny move for dallas

I don't really care because I'd have an all star.  

2014 was an ultra hyped draft.  Wiggins and jabari were two of the most hyped prospects ever.  Cleveland traded Wiggins for love.  Love isn't worth a number 1 pick. It worked out for Cleveland.  

Here's what I'm worried about.  We draft any of the top 3 and they take a while to make an impact (like we're seeing where most guys need 3-5 years to reach that plateau where their performance impacts winning) and we're just stuck in a loop of 

Draft guys

See value

Get impatient

Dump guys

Small improvement

Watch other guys improve elsewhere

Bottom out

Draft guys

See value

Get impatient...

I think that was misunderstanding of this: 

Orlando could send Vucevic to Dallas for nothing more than a low-to-no value pick or cash in one deal, and then in the next send Fournier for the all-expiring-contract package of McRoberts, Noel, and perhaps the injured Curry as the final piece of contractual filler.

Hee found a guy that doesn't understand what he was reading.  The suggested deal was vucevic for a top 55 protected second and then Fournier for the spare parts

[Fultz4thewin 2,464]

Also, regarding draft positioning.  

I'm not confident in this team's ability to tank.  I bet we finish 4th from last.

That was it! Yes but surely Evan for spare parts is where the pick to us comes in? Would be lovely for sure! 

Dallas may value Vooch and Evan super high??
