    I feel like they should trade this pick with 1 or 2 guys on the team and they should try to get a good young player in the center position. Which in my opinion is what we are missing for being a championship team.

    the way stone is obsessed with future picks from everything i'm reading, I wouldn't be surprised if he trades down for a lower pick plus a future one.

    But I'd trade it for an established player. I just don't know who or what position.

    Hold till draft night but have a trade ready. If Sarr is there take him but otherwise trade it. I don't even think you can get a star with this pick the draft is really really bad. Would be happy trading this to a delusional team like Detriot for their unprotected next year.

    Sarr definitely won't be there at 3 and even if he's there **** him he is overrated.

    This is true but I think they should not get a player from this draft and wait for next year use this pick and a few of our guys and I can’t see this trade from not working

    They don't have enough talent on the roster to trade a top 3 pick.

    But, who could they trade it for? That’s the question.

    I like the some of the players that will be available with the third pick. So, if they can’t swing a trade for a true superstar, then I’m excited about the third pick.

    We moved up and created a valuable asset regardless of how bad this draft is perceived.

    Stone has a chip to use now.

    Reed Sheppard please, unless Sarr magicly drops.

    We need a future PG, lethal shooter, especially once Fred is gone and Amen is developing more as a point forward.

    Reed Sheppard at #3 isn't terrible and is a nice play style combo of Steph Curry and Kirk Hinrich. Could be our backup PG for the time being.

    Impossible to say without knowing the market.

    Certainly not married to the pick, but not trading it unless a true impact player comes free. I don't buy the "too many prospects" mentality.

    a draft gotta be insanely weak when someone like Reed Sheppard is a projected top 3 pick
