TreyMachine 395 Report post Posted July 27, 2021 Here’s another question - do we think the FO wants Suggs with both Cole and Markele already in place? Or if he drops to 5, do we look to trade back and get a big deal in the process? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To prevent the same response, let’s assume trading up isn’t an option. Dreaming: Trade up for green and also keeping our 8th pick. We give up our bulls future first and this years 2nd rounder. The, we pick up moody at 8th. Realistically: we get either suggs/barnes at 5th. Then we get either moody/bouknight with 8th. Nightmare: We do a dumb trade and we lose someone that becomes an allstar on a different team. cole/okeke/fultz/issac... etc... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ML6 520 Report post Posted July 27, 2021 Franz Wagner saying he is 6’11” now is a pretty huge deal IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do question why he is rated so much higher than Davion "bad day" Mitchell though? His D makes the PG he is guarding have a very bad day. Whoever we pick we need at least 2 guys that can throw the round ball in the hole and score points at a decent percentage. No more projects please! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let suggs play in the league first before claiming he is better than anyone. I like him and would not mind taking him, but I am not going to place him above cole or fultz until till he does something in the NBA first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't seen anything about where he's worked out. He's a very Weltman pick, he's long, great defender and advanced stats love him. Might be a dark horse at 8.

CTMagicUK 1,476 Report post Posted July 28, 2021 I'm thinking we're trying to use this "The Magic love Scottie Barnes" stuff to our advantage and that we actually want Suggs and are hoping someone jumps us to take Barnes allowing Suggs to fall into our laps. A Suggs + Giddey/Sengun/Franz/Moody/Ziaire draft is basically best case scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,476 Report post Posted July 28, 2021 Screw it it's early in the morning and I'm feeling hopeful so I'm manifesting this outcome: Trade up with Cleveland to 3 for Mobley Either keep 8 or manage to trade back into the late lottery for Giddey. Fultz/Cole Cole/RJ Chuma/Giddey Isaac/Chuma Mobley 2026 NBA championship (lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can also see us doing a draft night trade after drafting Scottie Barnes. im hopeful this OKC / Toronto trade goes through as it feels the focus for OKC is acquiring Scottie Barnes.
