Early 2023 Big Board/Prospect Talk

*crosses Coulibaly off the list* unless we take him at #4 with the way Wemby is trying to bid him up. lol.

 

What about trading with the magic for 6 & 11? Walker and Coulibaly? Black and Coulibaly? Shock the world and go Coulibaly & Lively? I'd like to keep 20 for either Nick Smith or Deriq Whitehead too.

 

Do we have any indication that Orlando is interested in trading up for Amen, or somebody who won't be available at 6?

 

Move up from 20 and get this kid. You can bring him along slowly while he puts on weight. The 7'7 wingspan is amazing. He has the speed to rim run and get easy baskets in transition like Capela. 3 point shooting upside. Give up 20 and next year's Brooklyn pick. If the 24' draft is really that weak then this is the year to get rid of and try to get some value. I think he goes top 12 or 13ish but Dallas worries me at 10. Stone needs to make this happen. He and Sengun manning the 5 could be ridiculous in a couple of years.

 

I’d float next year’s 24 nets pick (top 5 protected), no. 20 and either KJM or Tate to Dallas for no. 10. Take Amen, Scoot, or Miller at 4 and Lively at 10. He immediately is your backup center and you don’t have to waste money on Lopez. He also looks spry enough to get some time at PF with Sengun on the floor. Sengun would feast on lobs to Lively if Sengun becomes more of an outside threat.

 

Finally a Senegalese guy making it hopefully.
