Context matters. Bagley was a #2 pick and supposedly foundational piece. There is no room for a non-defensive, non-shooting big in that role. Raynaud is a second round project, who may (if JV is moved) be looking at a 12 minute per night role this year, and perhaps a bigger bench role next...

Didn't realize there were other Stanford fans on here! What is your connection to Stanford? I am a 2004 alum.

Some added bulk? 30 pounds is pretty significant bulk. Especially when a lot of people think Keon could guard 3s if he was stronger. He is basically a much thicker/stronger Keon, with incredible rebounding. You could do a lot worse then Keon and Nique guarding at the 2/3.

Trade??? Maybe???

But the most persistent rumor was kings trading into the early 20s. That is still very much a possibility

I think #9 is where the draft begins. Toronto is the first team to really consider a trade.

[/MEDIA] This is pretty much the dream trade of former poster Kb02. I wasted way too much of my time 2 years ago reading his posts about how the Kings messed up by not keeping picks that became Hardy and Prosper. He had them pegged as a couple future starters. Guessing Dallas doesn't...

If you did that Sabonis to NOP trade, you would then turn around and reroute McCollum somewhere. No real need for him here if we are trading Domas (we aren't trying to win now in that scenario), and you find someone who is willing to give something up to bring in a scorer for one year. Dallas...

I have been saying for several months that a DDR for PJ Washington trade makes sense for both teams. Even moreso now. PJ is stuck on their bench with Gafford, and DDR gives them an offensive star who can help take pressure off a lineup missing Kyrie, going through Flagg rookie growing pains...

Compete for a title right now??? LOL Irving is missing most of next season, Klay is close to washed, Flagg is a rookie, and AD will miss at least 20 games. In the West, that team is hoping to stay in the top 6.

He can trade him to the Lakers in 4 years for Hachimura to help Luka get a running mate.

If you could trade Demar for someone like PJ Washington, that would be terrific. I get that is a longshot, but if Demar and draft capital can get you someone like that, then you might have something. Imagine a more balanced roster. Even if you can't get PJ, get someone LIKE that for DDR...

I hear Vlade has beef with Flagg's dad...

Yeah- 3 things need to happen to be placed 12th, pre-lottery: 1) Heat beat Hawks 2) Mavs beat Grizz 3) we win coin flip with Hawks If all three of those happen we go into the lottery with our pick at 12th, and keep our pick unless the Grizz or Hawks jump us in the lottery. If any of those...

Good point about the Grizz. I had forgotten about the sweep. I would put them on a equal tier with the Clippers.
