Ben Simmons

The list is long. I hope the owners lock these clowns out.

Translation, if you want Sharpe don't work out trades with NOLA, work out a trade with us.

then one of mathurin or daniels will be there at 8

Wouldn’t surprise Windhorst if they were involved in a trade where they either picked up a guard for their pick or swapped their pick with another team potentially the Pelicans for Graham who the Pelicans are shopping.

that would be graham + 8 for ?? + 10; pels would have to take back some salary, presumably KCP.

excellent if true, either way

Thank God.

Takes him off the table for us and ensures Portland is gonna suck arse for at least the next five years.

Wizards want a win now PG . Don’t think Graham qualifies as that.

Rondo may be available if they can post bail for him.

Yup.

I’m good with it too. Give me Dyson or Sochan or Mathurin.

There better be more coming our way besides salary relief.

Cause moving down to 10 could very well mean Daniels/Mathurin/Sochan are gone.

If we swapped 8 and 10, Wiz would pick Daniels and Spurs would pick Sochan.

At that point you’re deciding on Dieng or Griffin.

I think the pels will stay at 8 and keep whomever is left between Dyson or Mathurin.

ETA: they love both guys based on whats out there

Would Washington do a Graham/KCP swap if we did 41 plus a future second?

That is assuming they can't land something better by moving up and just want to ditch him for a PG.

I’m good with either Dyson or Mathurin. It would be nice to unload Graham tho.

I guess the ? Needs to be asked: is trading Graham for KCP worth moving down two spots in the top 10?

Landon Buford so massive grain of salt:

Kings are still looking to move the #4 pick aggressively, & Knicks are heavily interested, per an NBA Source.

They are hoping Ivey or Banchero are available after the Top-3, it seems like a direct deal is the better bet.

It is going to be hilarious to watch the meltdown on here when we stay at 8 and draft Duren.

That isn’t going to happen. If it did, there should be a meltdown.

RE: Today's rumor that Portland is targeting Shaedon Sharpe if they keep the 7th pick, it's worth noting that new assistant GM Mike Schmitz was on Woj's pod after the lottery (before he took the job, was still at ESPN) and said he liked Sharpe in that spot as an upside swing.
