If we can land top 3 in the lottery, I'll continue to follow the team. If we somehow miss out on any of the consensus guys, I think I'm giving up.

I could get behind a new core of

Murray
Hawkins
Top 3 Rookie
Herb
Trey
Missi
Jose

The rest of these clowns can get fricked, including Willie and Griff.

Yeah but there's always hope with a new "star." Ideally, we could get a foreign guy or a dude who isn't a total douche. Don't know much about Flagg but he's from Maine so I guess that's better than some dick that grew up in L.A.

He seems destined to play in Utah next to Lauri

We need to be either the third or 4th worse team. I dont recall the worse record actually winning the lottery for a bit.

Don't think that's how statistics work

There may be 5-7 impact-all star level prospects in this draft. There also may not be any "best player on a championship team" tier talents.

I love Jose, but he should not be a part of a core for a franchise that has significant winning aspirations.

Locker room and end-of-bench energy guy is his ceiling and credit to him for reaching the very top of that.

I also think people need to come back to reality with Trey. Trey is not someone you can build around. He's a good complimentary piece, but I don't see him as a core piece.

this. I’d trade him for multiple seconds while we can. Injury issues are starting to stack as well.

I'm with you Ghost. I have tickets and can't find anyone to go with me to a single game. This team needs to land a top three pick, and move on from BI and Zion.

Harper would boost this team's trajectory so much. Kind of want him more than Flagg. But beyond those 2: Jakucionus, Edgecombe, Tre Johnson, and Bailey are the next tier, with Egor Demin in the mix. Edgecombe would be a fun add, got that dawg in em. Jakucionus could be nice, too.

If you get any top 5 pick in this draft you should be ecstatic. I can argue 6 guys in the class has franchise potential.

Best part of that core is we are likely picking top 5 again next year. Eventually, that is just the price we need to pay.

After Chris Paul we never drafted in the top 10 again.

After AD we never drafted top 5 again. We turned a 6 overall pick into Jrue and another 6 overall pick into Cousins.

And after Zion the Dyson Daniel’s pick is our only other “top” pick.

We are a team zero people will ever want to play for. We need multiple top pick in a row to ever do anything.
