CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted July 26, 2021 Shame he won't be there for them to pick... (*Cries*) But seriously Memphis have got a great recent track record and I think Giddey is a pretty fun fit with Ja and JJJ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted July 26, 2021 Rumours Memphis wants to trade up even further (because they know Giddey doesn't get past us at 8? Hopefully? Lol) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ML6 520 Report post Posted July 26, 2021 Subject to change, but my 3 nights away prediction is: Barnes @ 5, Wagner @ 8, trade 33. This is not what I would necessarily want but what I think the FO will do. Only certainty is trading 33 — that’s set in stone and has been for months.

harley 61 Report post Posted July 27, 2021 Can’t we put pick 33 into Lakeland for the year to develop. Why do we always have to trade it SMH. Brandon Boston would be the ideal pick there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This morning Jeff Pre-Draft press conference link is attached. In about the 6 minute mark, a question is asked about having 2 picks, would you trade up? "it can go exponentially, the trade talks we are having" In another Q, regarding how many players worked out, he said "about 20" https://www.nba.com/magic/videos/jeff-weltman/pre-draft-press-conference-2-20210726# Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreyMachine 398 Report post Posted July 27, 2021 I'm strapping in. My gut tells me a lot of trades go down here as a lot of different teams move for different reasons. I 90% anticipate we will trade more than necessary to get to #3. Jalen, Cade, and Mobley all have superstar potential. You push to get someone like that who can create offense on a team of great defensive / role players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would Cleveland do something like 3 and Love for Harris’ expiring, Nuggs pick and 5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 457 Report post Posted July 27, 2021 I'm in for #8, ANY 1 player we have, and a future pick or 2, for a top 3 pick. #3 & 5 would be the perfect start to our rebuild! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t see how we get in to the top 3 without giving up 5. Consensus 3 days before the draft seems to be this is a draft that has 3 players that are # 1 worthy. Even sounds like the Pistons still don’t know which way they’re gonna go at 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
