You better believe that minutes after the NBA draft lottery tonight Mitch had at least 5 GM's walking up to him and were saying... "So Mitch about that #2 pick lets talk"

Was probably calling & texting blowing up his phone already.

Mitch probably texted:

NO!

#2 for boogie. do it mitch

No.

Randle and Clarkson, this years 2nd rounder, and a future 1st rounder for Boogie.

Take it or leave it Vlade.

I'll leave trade option for the next poll..

This one I want to strictly find out who of these 2 fellas the thread prefers

 

[essential1]

Somewhat unrelated to us..

Was Discussing on Twitter with a couple of people.... Boston trading number 3 for Jahlil Okafor and a few other working parts makes a ton of sense for both teams.

Sixers have a log jam as is... This clears up the center log jam, that they can't fix (Noel, Embiid & Okafor) It allows them to go Simmons or Ingram without worry.

Then Sixers could circle back at # 3 and fill their PG need with Murray or Dunn

 [h1]Report: Ben Simmons wants Lakers to draft him so he can sign bigger shoe contract[/h1]

Welp, I don't want him.

Don't even have the time to discuss why.

I'll tell you over the next 15 years if we end up drafting him.

In short: work first, rewards second. When rewards are sought first, I got a problem with you, like dude asking for a raise in his job interview. IN THE JOB INTERVIEW. Not even on the first day of work, which would also be out of pocket, BUT IN THE JOB INTERVIEW.

Miss me with that 'Oh, that's just ambition. Gotta love it' line.

Can't trade Clarkson until 3 months after he signs...

Simmons or Ingram. It's lit

 

[CHAOSE57]

INgram.

Wouldn't be mad if we get Simmons though.

 

[MajinZuub]

Randle can play the 3. Keep neverminding me if you want, he can play multiple positions.

No we would be an awful defensive team if he's our starting 3 man for mutiple reasons. Perimeter defenders would be able to force him right over left better than bigs from the outside too. Terrible idea.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I'm going to vote Ingram, but my heart is conflicted.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

i don't care about star potential...

Ingram for me

Welp, I don't want him.

Not gonna lie, this exact sentiment did come across my mind.

We're getting Ingram...quote me

 

[LakerSkumz]

Could you guys possibly see Sixers trading a big (Okafor) to Boston (who had rumors linked that they wanted him) for the #3 pick, Draft Ben Simmons at #1 and Dunn at #3????? So in other words Ingram to Lakers?

 

[essential1]

I think it will be Ingram for us. Think the star potential / upside for Ben is too high for Sixers to pass up. Also even though he doesn't fit a "positional need," he fills a need they have.. Primary ball handler.


Give me Ingram & Payton II... Go after Whiteside with a max. Drastically improve the team defense.

With the other $37mil (excluding any other moves like stretching Swaggy or trading Lou Will)... Go after a starter (that excludes Bazemore because I don't view him as a starter, nor will I want to pay over $15mil for what he is).

 

[dceja]

Get me biyombo!

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I think Lou's chances of being traded diminished a lot after tonight.

Yeah probably... Forgot to include that I thought it was unlikely.

Jim said he's a core piece.. Which is kind of funny. BUT makes sense because his contract is peanuts

 

[menacin methods]

All these draft picks are nice but i'm still hoping we sign the hometown homeboy Russell Westbrook in 2017

 

[tupac003]

Hope we draft Ingram.
