Just take Sheppard. Then, we're basically set through 2029 unless we do something silly. Another thought: Trade down a little and pick up a 2026 FRP (we don't have one at the moment), and take Knecht.
I'm kinda rooting for this myself. Mostly because I want to see you will it into existence. I doubt Rayan Rupert's parents have mentioned him as much in their lives as you have on this bbs the past few months.
My move is trade #3 for a nice haul. (to a team that really wants Clingan) Good veteran player, swap spots, and an unprotected first next year... or...make Clingan a Rocket. He's a rare talent. Either make someone pay for him or keep him. BPA - High floor and upside
If they're not taking Reed Trade down with Portland for 7 and 14. Take Carter and Ware. Trade up from 44 to get Adem Bona!
So I guess if they take Clingan at 3, it's pretty much a lock they're trading Goon and our owner is an idiot? No???
Why would drafting a player who isn't projected to be anything like an all-star mean trading a player who basically is already playing at that level? No player in this draft is good enough to be a starter on an NBA team that wants to compete, regardless of who we draft it does not signal that we're trading anybody. It's like y'all just ignored everything all the pundits said about the draft the last 6 months and just made up something else in your heads.
My bad, draft night combined with quitting nicotine (vaping after 10 years after smoking for 20) I'm wound up tight right now lmao.
