Mauro Pedrosa 1,028 Report post Posted June 23, 2021 2 minutes ago, TreyMachine said: Y’all know we can trade up, right? Not ideal but with #5 and #8, very likely someone spies someone they really like at #5-#8 and figures they get a better deal by trading #3 for #5 and #8. You can bet we’ll deal if we love someone there. After missing out on Trae & Doncic our management should jump at such an opportunity 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
South_Aussie_Magic 90 Report post Posted June 23, 2021 The worst part here is the 4 teams above could all easily scrap what they have and go all in for what they think is a number 1 option because nothing any of them have is 1st option material Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Natesroom 197 Report post Posted June 23, 2021 I think it was the same reason i cussed at the screen thinking we got pushed back to 8, I dont remember them already putting the logos on traded picks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 450 Report post Posted June 23, 2021 So we get Kuminga unless one of the top 4 take him. Other than #1 the next 4 are about the same in my book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If WeltHam believe in a player that much at the top, sign me up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,181 Report post Posted June 23, 2021 Just to be the voice of reason here for a second, all the top of the draft and the boards and strictly insider speculation right now. Let’s see how the combine goes. Also, there are always random picks early from teams. And, even if we end up with Kuminga at 5, forward is more of a position of need for us and it allows Kelle/Cole/RJ to keep growing together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harley 61 Report post Posted June 23, 2021 Bloody hell the Melts on here and Twitter. It’s a top 5 draft with Kuminga arguably having the highest upside. We’re adding 5 and 8, both got chance of being studs. I would have been devo if we picked 6 but top five has been the aim all year. Go back and watch Kumingas first couple of G league games guys.

If anything, I’m more sure of the future of our forwards than of our guards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if Kumingas goes ahead, we get one of the Jalens. It’s really not a bad position to be in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m including the vets in this too… our vets are all guards.. and frankly, JI needs to play more than half a season on average before I get over excited about him 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
