2018 NBA Draft Lottery

[SDC]

Do you think a Warren + Bender + 16 pick + milwaukee pick for Sacto's #2 gets it done?

it may require josh jackson in the mix.

I think Bagley is kinda a duplicate of John Collins in Atlanta. He's better than Collins, but I don't know if they can play together. JJJ makes sense next to Collins. Sacramento might really like Bagley though.

My gut reaction mock right now:

1. Phoenix - Ayton (Gonna be really hard to pass on)
2. SAC - Doncic
3. Atlanta - JJJ
4. Memphis - Bagley(Really like this fit as a win now piece)
5. Dallas - Bamba
6. Orlando - Porter(Don't have a good read here, this would give them 3 3/4 combo forwards, but AG might be gone. Could take Trae)
7. Chicago - Carter
8. Cleveland - Trae
9. New York - Mikal Bridges
10. Philly - Zhaire Smith
11. Charlotte - SGA
12. LAC - Sexton
13. LAC - Robert Williams
14. Denver - Miles Bridges
15. Washington - Jontay Porter
16. Phoenix - No clue, but I'll throw Khyri Thomas here cuz I love him.

Ya'll need to stop with the fantasy of getting Doncic and Ayton. Also, I can't believe people still believe that "gambling on a Euro" is a thing. That is some pretty regressive shit right there.

So do you take the man among kids that couldn't win a game in the tournament, or the kid with no position that won a euroleague championship?

Let’s go all in, take Doncic with the 1st, get that 4th from Memphis and take Best Big Available. They could use a reload with #15 #31 # 59, Warren, Chriss and Dudley for #4 & Parsons. A man can hope. Can we?

Actually, I do think Memphis might be willing to part with the pick.

Me too, it’s not unbased hope. They are in cap hell with an aging core, a need for role players, and the drive to remain competitive, can see them blowing up to build around their 4th pick, maybe if Ayton or Doncic would have arrived, but they fell hard. If Bagley is out of the board, who else they pick that can help them next year?

I think it’s a matter of how much they ask, or the FO can stomach to offer, like the Irving deal last summer. At the right price we all would have taking him, its just that our definitions of “right price” were very different.

Do you think a Warren + Bender + 16 pick + milwaukee pick for Sacto's #2 gets it done?

No.

I don't think Sacramento is moving that pick unless they're getting DeMar Derozan or Kawhi Leonard, or some other established star.

If Bagley is there, I think Memphis just takes him.

[n4th4n]

If Bagley is there, I think Memphis just takes him.

Bagley is a phenomenal fit next to Gasol.

[Aztec Sunsfan]

If Bagley is there, I think Memphis just takes him.

Hopefully, Atlanta might feel the same.

The most important thing is for PHX to draft Ayton at #1, so that #2 and #3 pick might be in play...

mock draft
1) Ayton (Suns)
2) Bagley (Kings)
3) JJJ ( Atl)
4) Doncic (Mem)

Dudes, 1-1-1, that is how the actual lottery played out for the Suns this year in the back room. This was our year or something. We got it the first three times and had to redo it a 4th and 5th time for the Kings and Hawks to come up.

I'm a Doncic guy, but I'd have some serious FOMO with Ayton. I think he's exactly what Sacramento is missing.

I've never seen McDonough smile so big.

Sorry. Darko and Zarko have left a bad taste in my mouth. Look, I'd rather draft a close to sure thing rare find that's a generational talent at 7ft than gamble that a player may or may not pan out in the NBA in a position that is saturated heavily in the NBA with talent.

I'd be surprised if he said he didn't want to go to the team he would get the most $$ by and most playing time in.

[UglyTruth]

If Memphis takes Bagley, I would try to acquire Rabb if I'm the Suns. I think he'll be better than Chriss imo.
