    Rather take Wade Baldwin in the 2nd then trade Capela (and "scraps") for Murray.

    Baldwin is more athletic, similar type combo guard but much better defender.

    Baldwin will not fall to the second. He might go top ten.

    Maybe we can save the scraps, or better yet Capela, and draft him instead then.

    Murray hit 79 of 100 3s in his Celtics workout.

    Yes, you read that right.

    I like Murray, but I am dying to see the Swiss Roll in a new offense, so I hope we can move up without trading him.

    As I expected, Bender has slipped. Now I'm hearing he might not go top 14. Could slip to late teens or twenties.

    This guy is too small and can't guard anyone. Hard pass.

    We're gonna trade away our starting Center and 2 assets for a guy who will get limited minutes off the bench?

    Personally, I'd start him and use the extra cap space for something else. If this is a rebuilding year and we don't really have championship aspirations in MDA's first year then this is what I'd do.

    Otherwise if we're actually going to rebuild on the fly and try to win it next season if I could get Murray in trade, I'd then offer him to Philly for Noel and other picks.
