There's a chance he won't make it past Charlotte.CAUSTIC'S 1ST ANNUAL MOCK DRAFT
- Washington Wizards - Kevin Knox, SF, Kentucky - The Wiz already have Kelly Oubre and a very well-paid Otto Porter at SF, but Knox can play PF as well and Markieff Morris is a free agent next year. Knox could and should probably go higher than this
Nice job! I’m looking forward to the release of your mock of the 2nd round.CAUSTIC'S 1ST ANNUAL MOCK DRAFT
Even worse now that Woj and company won’t be tweeting picks out in advance.The only criticism I’ll make about the NBA draft is how trades don’t go through until afterwards and sometimes we don’t even know about the trade when the player is selected. That makes for bad TV. I wish it were like the NFL draft and the trade was announced before the pick.
That would be sweet, but I'm curious outside of future picks and maybe Isaac, do we even have an asset when contacts are considered?Magic reportedly interested in moving up for Luka Doncic.

Mavs, Magic, Nuggets Trying To Move Up To No. 3 To Select Luka Doncic
The Atlanta Hawks very well could control the direction of the draft at No. 3 as they zero in on either selecting Luka Doncic, or trading the slot to a team looking to move up to select him.
"Teams know this right now, they have to get to No. 3 to get Luka Doncic," said Adrian Wojnarowski on ESPN's Wednesday evening draft coverage.
"Dallas at No. 5 has been knocking at that door," added Wojnarowski.
The Orlando Magic and even the Denver Nuggets also have interest in trading up for Doncic, according to Wojnarowski.
If the Hawks trade down, they could target Trae Young.

I'd probably much rather have Carter than JJJ. I feel like Carter would be a consensus top-5 pick if Bagley hadn't re-classified last summer. I don't get the JJJ hype really at all. He's got tons of physical tools, but he is not a very good basketball player yet.Am I the lone person that has JJJ more around the Carter/Robert Williams "tier"? Things are so outlandish to the point I got to believe some of this stuff has to be a smokescreen to get one of those top 4 to take him.
The guy definitely can make some fine plays with his athleticism but he just has never looked fluid out there to me. More athlete than basketball player right now. I just don't ever see him being more than last type option offensively when he's out there. To me, he's a guy you'll be waiting til end of his first rookie contract if you see something of significance at all from him. And that doesn't even get into his release point which will have to be adjusted.
According to ESPN.com's Jonathan Givony, the Grizzlies "are in discussions" about trading the No. 4 pick to the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks and Orlando Magic in advance of Thursday's NBA draft.I'm not sure if any specifics have been reported - this is the only scoop I've seen (from Woj) and it's very vague:
I said some really great things about him in the NBA thread.Anyone want to talk about Dwight Howard?
There is a sub form for whining, please use it.Hov34 said:Don't you people have your own sub forum for this???
Shabazz is a free agent. I forget if it is ufa or ra.LeBron likes Sexton, so drafting him should get LBJ to stay in Cleveland. 100%. Absolutely. No doubt about it. Lock of the century.
(Or, if Sexton is gone, maybe they can trade for Shabazz Napier.)
That's even better than Doncic being free-range TurkogluOpen floor pod called Porter the vegan jeff Green, so that’s certainly exciting.
Whoa whoa whoa. They are looking into the possibility of trading up to 4, if that's the case they may land Doncic. This train is just starting to speed up. Feel free to jump off but you are going to miss a half decade of first round playoff exits.Hey Kev, can I be excused from the Nuggets bandwagon?
So they are trading to to 4, after Orlando moves up to 3, both for Luka?Whoa whoa whoa. They are looking into the possibility of trading up to 4, if that's the case they may land Doncic. This train is just starting to speed up. Feel free to jump off but you are going to miss a half decade of first round playoff exits.
the best part of what he said is (paraphrasing): I compare myself to a Durant/Giannis hybrid. It’s just a blessing to be mentioned with those guys.Michael Porter Jr saying he’s Durant/Giannis hybrid is up there with some of the stuff Earl Woods used to say.
Also, I have listened to too many hours of stuff on this draft to be considered sane anymore.
It is kind of crazy how all over the map pundits and wannabees are on Young and Sexton. Even the experts here.So much Trae Young hate I'm starting to root for him to be a superstar
