We are too young to add 3 draft picks

[bLACKpANTHER]

We will not be picking rookies up at all three draft picks. This team is already very VERY young. Adding 3 rookies, no matter how good, is silly. We might keep #9 (Gordon, Staus, McDerp) and package the #24 pick/Henderson/Biz to get a proven Veteran.

 

Afflalo is the guy everyone is banking on. We will have to see, but I would hope we get a vet backup PG, SF and C out of free agency/trades.

Might use #45 to stash a euro.

I agree that we will not have 3 draft picks on the team.

 

Options:

1. Package #24 & 2nd round to move up as much as we can to get "our guy"

* Most we could go up on that package is probably #6

(Odds aren't good because there might not be a lot that separates #9 and #6.)

 

2. Pick a big at #9 and package #24 and Player for Affalo or a player like him.

* Picking big means Gordon

 

3. Stay put at #9 & #24 and Eurostash the 2nd round pick

* What I want. Give me Staus at #9. #24 give me Napier or Payne if either fall.

 

4. Who the hell knows but it's fun to guess!

I think the two 1st rounders are staying. The no45 pick may however be traded for a vet or money.

There's no way anyone is trading us a top 10 to take #24 and a second rounder.

We're taking a scorer at #9. Gordon will be off the board already. The Bobcatsian pick would be McBuckets, but his defense scares the hell out of me and he's going to be way too slow to rebound at an average rate for his height.

Keep an eye out for Rodney Hood, Stauskas, Dougie, even Gary Harris (solid defender, but a reach at that pick).

I'd like to see us trade out of #9 and pick an x-factor type at #24.

Afflalo = #9 and Henderson/Biz package

 

#24 = PJ Harrison or Adrien Payne

 

2nd rounder =  trade for kibbles N bits

I would take Harris over those guys with Stauskas right behind him. I don't think Harris is a reach at all. I see him being similar to Oladipo.

Trading the #9 pick, Henderson, & Biyombo for Afflalo would be stupid.

[Night Prowler X]

PJ > Harris

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

That 45th pick could be valuable. Clifford is on record saying that he won't go into a season without three point guards on the roster.

 

A guy like Jordan Clarkson or Jahii Carson could be there and instead of having to re-sign Pargo we can just pay one of these guys 450,000 a year to be the third string point guard. In comparison, Pargo is making nearly $1.5 mil. So in actuality we could save about $1 mil in cap space doing this.

[Omega Atrocity]

I would rather have Stauskas than Afflalo.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The only reason I'm hesitant to trade #9 to Orlando is because they could potentially be a juggernaut of a team down the road.

 

PG: Dante Exum (Draft 4th Overall)

SG: Victor Oladipo

SF: James Young (Draft 12th Overall)

PF: Aaron Gordon (Draft 9th Overall)

C: Nikola Vucevic

 

That is a great starting line-up for the future, I don't think I want to help them out like that.

[CPF4LIFE]

Keep the number 9 pick, we were lucky to get it. For a team thats on the way up we might not get a shot at the top talent for a while. I still want us to draft one more guy that could develop into a allstar player down the road.

[Rick Grimes]

Go the Rivera way and draft the BPA. We may not need a SG if we go out and nab Lance Stephenson.
