sounds good lemme know when he is out and we can get our stories straight in the private forum

 

i know we been discussing this in private messages to back up the proof

 

also, we probably shouldn’t include the bit about harry the Hawk, that is too embarrassing to release

Then what's the reasoning drafting Knecht? He's not a big wing. His best position is the 2. Also, where does this put Kobe Bufkin who we just invested a lot of time and money into. 

If we take a guard/wing Id rather Castle..

Hawks need Defense

He needs to work on his shot of course, but 

I could live with Clingan and Castle with #4 and #8....If we went that route..

That Detroit rumor I saw on here is interesting if there's truth behind it.

If they'll give #5 for Murray, you 100% do it no question. 

 

(to put something that's draft related haha, I definitely see Sarr as a combo 4/5, I don't see it on him being a "3" however)

Sweet… send us Mikal asap

[capstone21]

Bridges would be a great fit … it will cost a lot 

[ShooterSays]

We better be the first team to call if Bridges becomes available. 

Was at the game this last season where he dropped 45 on us. We could not stop him in the 4th. Everyone knew he was getting the ball and he just kept scoring.

I really don't understand the idea to draft a big wing who's years away. Could it work, sure but he would be backing up the 3 and the 4 and we really don't know what we got till year 3. Could he then blossom, sure. But, that's along time and a lot of patience. 

The idea that we need to be drafting for someone who can maximize our results next season is based on what, exactly?  I don't buy that at all and I don't buy this as a reason we shouldn't draft Sarr.

Trae ? Bridges JJ Claxton(TPE)

Bufkin Bogi Dre Gueye CC or OO(one is traded)

Is this a top 6 team in the East?

If we could get Jimmy Butler too for Murray at SG its possible.. lol

Now that's going "All IN"..

I’ve been wanting Mikal since the 2018 draft. But when we moved from 5th to 3rd it was Luka or Bagley. I love Mikal. What would it cost? I’d throw in anything besides:

Trae

JJ

#1 pick

#1 pick + is gonna be gone if you want Bridges..

Nets are going young it seems.. They'll want that pick from us and probably another from the other team involved in the deal..(3 team trade)

Capela goes to 3rd team I guess if that's the case..

Murray  Dre and AJ works for Butler.. lol

Well I don’t think we should use 1st pick on Bridges, that is too much. However I agree we should go as hard as we can after him. He is the wing on the league that fits better Trae and this team but you want him to pair him with Trae, JJ and 1st pick, that is your bet to become great. 

So any combination of DJM, OO, Hunter, Capela, Bogi needs to make the deal. We could sweeten the deal with Sac pick or any other pick. Bridges is good  but a pack of DJM, OO and Sac pick is fair deal. They don’t have any big salary to take and a core of DJM, Cam Thomas, Cam Johnson, OO and Claxton or any other center makes sense for them.

For us a team like this is good as well. We would still lack a center but overall we are good.

Trae/Bridges/Hunter/JJ/Capela

Bufkin/Bogi/Gueye/Bey/Sarr

With this draft class I’d have to think really hard about trading the pick for Bridges.  He isn’t a superstar but he is such a good defender and has become a very good offensive player who doesn’t need the ball in his hands non-stop to contribute.  Every team in the NBA could use him.  When I think of whether I’d rather have him or take a shot at Castle, Sheppard, Risacher, etc. I’ll take Bridges all day.  
 

The main thing that gives me pause is Gasol for Shareef.  That hurt.
