I rather have Topic on the Spurs over Giddy. With the trades in this mock, Charlotte might actually make the playoffs and leave the Spurs with their pick, Atlanta's pick, a now possible Charlotte, Chicago's, and the 76er's pick in a strong draft class.

If Giddey was drafted by the Spurs he would have already been cut just like Primo. Can not even imagine them even entertaining the idea of getting him.

Primo repeatedly flashed someone on the spurs staff😂 That's why he got cut. Josh dated a 17 y/o when he was 19. If he actually did anything he'd be in actual legal trouble. Thunder doesn't mess around with that kind of stuff either.

From the Rockets standpoint, I don't get the idea of the Hornets - Rockets trade, and I don't see any possibility of something even similar to it happening. The Rockets objective has been clearly stated by the front office and coaching staff: to become progressively more competitive while developing the in-house young talent. This trade has nothing to to with that approach. I think that Jabari Smith Jr is seen by the Rockets as one of their core pieces moving forward. From the Hornets standpoint, sure, it makes sense to build a young, athletic, versatile and very solid starting lineup. But from the Rockets standpoint, it's nonsense.

No way Houston does this, they are looking for another PF to play behind Jabari. Without Jabari, they would now need a starting PF and backup. The only PF they have on the roster after Jabari is Jeff Green who is 38 and not capable of playing big mins. Also Houston has more guards than it needs (Vanvleet, Green, Thompson, Whitmore, Holiday) so Dillingham would likely not play ahead of any of them. Just a terrible trade.

Absurd trade for the Spurs with pick 8, they can draft Devin Carter or Bub Carrington rather than trade for Josh Giddey. Love your content anyway 😜

The Smith trade to Hornets is about the worst proposed trade since the Green to the Nets for Bridges in which the Rockets offered the #3 pick (unknown at the time) and more of their picks back. Let's examine it. First, toss out the 27th picks as they cancel each other out. We don't know where those picks will end up. Second, Smith for a bunch late first round picks is just downright stupid. They will be late FRPs because adding Smith to the Hornets will push them out of the lottery for years to come. Smith is a top twenty five player under 25 in the league and already a 14/8 guy who will soon be a 20/10. Third, you are giving up the #3 pick for the #6 pick for next to nothing. Fourth, the Rockets are looking for upgrades, not to enter into permanent rebuild mode.

In the immediate future this pick 3 trade made me sad as a Rockets fan I love Jabari haven’t seen who we draft at 6 but I would have also like Castle and Jabari on our current unit Charlotte would have a young core right on our tails and OKC

Damn I had to come back to express how I'm still upset at how bad that Hornets - Rockets trade is. Sheldon, please go ahead and nullify that trade, thanks. The Rockets have their young team for the future already set up: PG: Amen Thompson, SG: Jalen Green, SF: Tari Eason, PF: Jabari Smith Jr, C: Alperen Sengun, 6th-man: SG/SF Cam Whitmore, 7th-man: 2024 3rd pick (C/PG). That is a solid well rounded team. Why would they mess with this for a 6th pick and injury prone Lamello Ball?

Silver would have every GM in the league drug tested if this actually happened.

if the thunder traded giddey AND wiggins for that i would stop being a thunder fan

If the Spurs come out of this draft with Reed, Carter, Filipowski, and either Scheierman or Ajay Mitchell I think would be a solid draft for the Spurs. Two of the most athletic guards, one being a solid defender, a floor spacing big man, and two upside guards who are efficient with the ball as a late flier would be very helpful. The Spurs are great at developing players and being older the majority won't burn contracts for when they have to pay Wemby. They can also be upside cost-controlled contracts if you need to move them later once the roster is locked in to get a stronger talent if you are trying to consolidate.

What 2 picks does Orlando have? I see 47...are you including a pick from next year?

Actually like this Blazers draft! I would have guessed the order of Holland and Salaun reversed, and while I question Holland's fit next to Scoot, I really like the energy, motor, and 2-way play of both of Holland & Salaun. The fit is more of a Scoot question IMO, and Scoot can still make a big jump, and if he doesn't then Blazers can look elsewhere in the next year or two.

Reports are getting out now on who the teams are inviting to work outs. It's been widely reported (in this case seen.) that Quinn Snyder flew to see Risacher play in Europe first and he has been to Atlanta to work out as well this past week. Clearly they like what they see! At #2 The Wizards have worked out Sarr, Clingan and Cody Williams. General consensus is it will be Sarr.

If I was picking I’d take dalton kenect #1. He’s gonna be an elite 3 level scorer in the nba and he has elite size

If the Pistons don’t draft Sheppard at the 5th spot that would be ludicrous!

Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Mikal Bridges, Brandon Clarke, and Jaren Jackson Jr. would go the Finals the next two years at least.

Whoever was running the Thunder would be immediately fired 😂

I hope the Bulls can get more for Caruso but I’m not getting my hopes up. We were asking for 2 first round picks for him at the deadline and didn’t get a real offer or they must have been terrible picks. Pick 16 is solid at least I know it’s not 28 or something and Caruso is sprawled out on the floor and hobbling to locker room every other game and most of his career has been injury prone and unable to play 30+ minutes a night so I personally don’t think his value is as high as the national media portrays but will be pleasantly surprised if it is

Did you not vet any of this? That Hornets trade literally can’t happen. A team can’t trade back to back 1st. Hornets don’t have their own 25 1st meaning they can’t trade their 26 1st.
