30 days left until the draft

I'd be really curious what yall think about if we keep the pick or not.

I think we keep *A* pick. Our pick will be a PF or C. If we select anything else, it will be for another team in some kind of deal.

My mind is changed based off thr reality of our picks going out in the future.

I 100% expect Cuban to trade the pick.

Yep

I'm with you on this.

In fact the only guy mentioned out of all the names being thrown out as a draft pick that even makes sense is the kid out of UCF.

If he there's not I'd support cuban 100% for trading this Pick. Guys like Turner, Siakam, Grant or Reid all fit this term perfectly at as C/PF options next to Luka.

The kid from UCF falls under that category amongst that group.

If it ain't him being drafted I'd move that pick in heartbeat for a win now vet. Just not impressed very much with all the other probable options there at 10.

One guy I'm happy they aren't considering is Grady Dick. Don't need anymore slow footed below avg defenders on this team regardless of their ability to space the fucking floor on offense.

Dick is more athletic than you think and is actually a good defender.
He'll be very good someday but doesnt fit our timeline.
OKC or Utah would be the perfect places for him.

IMO, they trade the pick and make a panic move.

I'd rather they add more picks and rebuild the depth of the roster with fresh young athletic legs and energy. It won't take much for Luka/KI duo to move back up and be a playoff team. I think if Luka is surrounded with young talent, he is more likely to stay then a failed attempt at adding a vet.

Yep...that's the way I see it too.

I think Luka would be happier leading a team of young guys with upside that he can help develop and mold, than bringing in vets with baggage.

Build a young core and then fill in the voids with role playing vets.
