6'8" - 6'9" (swings) who might be there at 27 Jarred Vanderbilt Rudion Kurucs Keita Bates-Diop Isaac Bonga Dzanan Musa 6'9" and up (bigs) who could be there at 27 Omari Spellman Mitchell Robinson Brandon McCoy Chimezie Metu Moritz Wagner I was watching highlights of Musa recently. His jumper, the way it falls in the rim is fascinating. Like the arc of the shot. Also, he takes a lot of Curry type (deep) 3-point shots. |

Musa and also Kurucs, their jumpers fall through the net beautifully.

Villanova head coach, Jay Wright, says Danny was the first one to show "high level interest" in Divincenzo.
Another testament of Danny's eye for talent.

Andy Kaufman doesn't believe we'll be picking 27 tomorrow.
I agree -- either we're trading it to move up, or we're moving it to trade down (maybe get multiple 2nd rounders), or maybe even trading it as part of a package.

If we are intent on getting Doncic, we need to step up our offer cause the Mavs, the Nuggets and the Magic are also interested in him.
They have an advantage over us because they hold high picks in this draft. Dallas can offer the 5th pick, Orlando the 6th. The Nuggets have the 14th.

Danny could move up in intervals. Trade our [HASH]27 and a future pick to move up some, then flip that pick plus another future pick to move up more, etc, etc. We have so many future picks he could get very creative.

I suddenly have a very very strong feeling about this draft and Danny trading up. I can just see us aiming to get one of the top big men or Doncic...either of which we would pair with Brown and Tatum as OUR Big 3 4-5 years from now. You could so easily see us having our current Big 3 of Irving, Hayward and Horford - then transitioning from them to our 2nd Big 3 waiting in the wings without any downtime. Its almost seamless.

Yeah, Ainge sounds like is working hard to move up (but he's got competition). Grabbing Ayton, if Ainge is able to move up to 1, would give us a really strong young "future" core of Ayton, Tatum and Brown. But I like Jaren Jackson a lot too. But with him, and even Bamba, they're not going to be #3 options on a championship caliber team. So we really need to do a good job of surrounding Tatum and Jaylen with versatile 2-way players. |

I think Ayton would mean giving up alot more whilst Jackson could come slightly cheaper. My thoughts is that it'll be either Jackson or Doncic if they're available. |

We'd equally have to give up a lot if we want him. Jackson and Bamba, one of them could very well slide to 5. |

Kings have internally settled upon the player they will take (if they keep it).
They literally hold the key to the rest of the lottery.
Question is, will they take Doncic, even though they have DeAaron Fox at Point? Not that Doncic is purely, or limted only to being a PG.

Rozier is being dangled to move up.
If he gets traded, we are keeping Smart, IMO.

If sources are correct, the Suns will take Ayton, and the Kings will take Bagley.
We'll see if Danny is able to move up to get Doncic, Jackson or Bamba.
