Lot of buzz about the Bulls and Warriors swapping picks. Best case scenario is Warriors moving back to 4 and taking Tyrese. He'd be a great fit in their system.

Yeah, I saw that and the Warriors would get Carter, Jr. which would be a good addition for them.

When Hayward has been fully healthy/recovered, he’s been as good as expected. He just hasn’t been healthy much. The Celtucs must be working on a sign-and-trade that includes player/s to be drafted by a team that traded their 2019 and/or 2021 picks.
Yeah, has to be a sign and trade to move up in the draft. Apparently they want to get into the top 3.

That would be an absolute no brainer for the Warriors front office imo. No idea why the bulls would offer that much for jumping 2 picks.
I don't think wcj is that good. Just my perception watching him the past 2 years, hard to say with the lack of coaching and his health

If you have an Athletic subscription - check out this amazing 100,000 word analysis for draft picks. A full page write up on Halliburton, hard to disagree with him. Also, as others have said, there are basically no "can't miss" picks in this draft.

My comment leaves very little value on wcj. I just don't think moving down 2 slots in this draft means much at all for the warriors. We also don't know much about Wiseman. But who would you rather have

Wiseman,
or
WCJ & number 4 pick.

Definitely going top ten. Sounds like there could be a lot of movement in the lottery tonight. I hope a contender or a team with a bright future moves up to grab him.

Looking at you, Dallas...

Minnesota in discussions on moving back to 4 in a trade with Chicago. Minnesota taking Haliburton would be nice for Tyrese. Way better than Cleveland at 5, Detroit at 7, or New York at 8.

I'm still fine with Atlanta at 6.

Not opposed to him lingering around to ten for Phoenix. Back-up guard to Booker and CP3? Things could end up MUCH worse.

I was listening to some nba podcast and I think it was raja bell who pointed out landing in a good position is more important than a high draft position, because guys make all their money on 2nd and third contracts. Which are based on production.
