Honestly, I'm not convinced we're keeping the 16th pick.

Yep, trading it for an even higher pick. (I hope.)ShelC wrote:Honestly, I'm not convinced we're keeping the 16th pick.

I would like to think so, but I am not sure we have anything other people want. We keep saying we are going to make a move in FA this year, which means we can't really take back a bad deal and still be in the market. So if we move up, that means we likely have to give up a player that has value; that isn't likely to be Chriss, Bender, Ulis, Jared, Tyson or Knight.

I didn't mean he will be an All-Star level player. I'm saying he'll occupy a similar role, but with less scoring and better defense and more ball handling or play making.Ring_Wanted wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 3:04 pmThat's high praise to me and I don't know if you meant it haha.

If Melton can shoot, he's real interesting
Re: Who's your top guy at 16 if we keep the pick.
The Ringer has us taking Ayton at #1 but SGA at #16! Woo. It's him or Holiday for me.

Re: Who's your top guy at 16 if we keep the pick.
I'm not all that excited by Holiday. He seems fine, but to me he tops out as a good backup and we've got enough backup PGs on this team. SGA is a much more enticing prospect to me. Bonus point to him for being Canadian.
Re: Who's your top guy at 16 if we keep the pick.
I'm with you on SGA over Holiday, but I really think they trade away 16 for a good/great vet while dumping expiring contracts. I'd love to get Wall as the engine of the offense next to Booker feeding the rest of the team for easy buckets and having a real big in Ayton and athletic pf like Chriss redeeming himself.

In2, you're killing me this offseason. First Trae Young, now John Wall? Absolutely killing me.
Re: Who's your top guy at 16 if we keep the pick.
John Wall doesn’t suck, though he’s probably not a logical target for us because he would cost us a lot in trade and his contract is

In 2022-23 he makes $47M!

His contract sucks, never mind.

Re: Who's your top guy at 16 if we keep the pick.
Worst contract in the NBA.
Re: Who's your top guy at 16 if we keep the pick.
I also don't think he's a great fit next to Booker.
Re: Who's your top guy at 16 if we keep the pick.
It is, I agree. But it doesn't mean he wouldn't have value on this particular team in the right conditions.

Re: Who's your top guy at 16 if we keep the pick.
The right conditions being the Wiz realize what a mistake they made, buy him out, and then he signs with us as a FA at a reasonable salary.
