    The pick can only be used for assets to se for a trade. Nobody wants two more 19 years old prospects. We do a terrible job of developing players in our organization and we need to compete next year.

    Where the pick ends up depends on how healthy Kawhi is for the remainder of the season.

    Yes, he is a brilliant offensive player.

    That isn't the issue.

    We have a better chance of falling to 6 or 7 and getting Walker there, he’s too good to be available late lottery

    It'll be in the 20s, I bet. Won't be too great. We'll just get another Christopher/Garuba caliber player. Woo.

    I predict it ends up #17. Certainly a nice spot to pick or a valuable trade asset.

    Just realised today is the battle of our swap picks. Need bucks to beat clippers so our swap picks look even better

    It’s nice to feel like we got better value if the Bucks pick winds up 30th but in reality the Bucks part of it is a sunk cost at this point. Just need Clipper L’s.

    I highly doubt an every night version of Kawhi shows up during any point of the regular season. The Clippers have 25 games left and I'd be surprised if Kawhi even played in 20 of them.

    This is how I feel about all of those 2nd round picks flying around. I'm not sure why anyone even bothers. You're drafting for the G-league at that point.

    This is gonna be a fun side bet the rest of the season. Let’s go Clips 3-game losing streak heading into the all star break!

    Way more exciting with the Clips pick over the Bucks!!!

    If they could please finish no higher than 6th, and lose out in the play-in, that would be overly amazing

    PS: Taylor Hendricks is the guy with this pick, if not him, then Colby Jones

    I'll make more of a deal out of this when we actually know what number we are picking at.

    I think this pick/pick swap is getting traded this summer.

    Lost to Bucks last night and play GSW next Tues. Should be a good game, eyes peeled on Tankathon standings... https://www.tankathon.com/

    Would love to get Filipowski or GG with that pick. If we get Wemby these guys could spend some time in G-League working on their games.

    This is true it doesn’t matter about all the side orders they received if the 16 oz steak is not on the table.

    But then what if they win the lottery? The pick is top 6 protected.

    Good point

    Odds are extremely low, but 15 is better than 13plus a tiny chance of not converting

    If Kris Murray shoots anything like Keegan I'd be happy to pick him around the 20th pick.


    Honestly if we end up with 3, 4 or 5 I'd expect this pick and however many others it took to be traded to get Henderson. Porter, #5, #20 and whatever else for #2/Henderson.

    If it’s in the top 20, it will be a great trade asset with the Brooklyn pick to get a Star…hopefully
