    Unlike the Morey years, we actually have picks and a lot of discourse in the GARM around the draft. That said, there's 29 other teams and I feel like we haven't discussed our predictions for them as much (or at all...).

    What are your crazy predictions for tomorrow night? Mine is that Ivey falls past #4. I don't think the Kings will find a good deal for #4 and draft Keegan Murray. I could see Indiana taking him at #6, but maybe Ivey falls as far as to the Wizards (unless the Knicks try to trade up).

    OKC/SAC swap picks with OKC taking Ivey and a future Kings pick and Chet going to the Kings.

    Also, with the perceived value of long switchable wings, a really good PG or C drops late in the draft and has an immediate impact on a contender next year.

    Portland take Shaedon Sharpe at 7 ...for OKC.

    Portland receives:
    OKC's 2022 12th pick (Duren/Williams)
    Lu Dort
    Detroit's 2023 1st round (top 18 protected)
    Houston's 2024 1st round (top 4 protected)

    OKC receives:
    Shaedon Sharpe

    OKC now has a core of Holmgren, Sharpe, SGA, and Giddey. Portland gets front court help with Dort, a replacement for oft-injured fA-to-be Nurkic with Duren or Williams and they stockpile some picks in the event Lillard gets traded next year.
