Yeah I read the threads but rarely post because of the exactly what happened.

If we end up with the 3rd OVR pick, we need to take a look at trading it.

Agree. Bender may be the only one worth taking there but he's a project and more of a 4 than a 5.

I honestly would rather us lose the pick than end up with #3.

Ok, I'm nit going that far with losing the pick.

It depends on if you think this class has more than 2 franchise type players.

The problem with this year's class is that it's strengths(G/PF) are what we don't need. Ingram is the only plug and play SF in the draft worth going in the top 3. Simmons is just a freak and would absolutely play over Randle. After that there aren't many players in positions we need.

Next year's class has more big men and SF to choose from.

Losing the pick is still a terrible idea lol. Honestly, I think we'll get 3rd OVR.

Imo since we really don't have a team nor do we have guaranties of how our young players are gonna develop we need to pick the best player we can get regardless of his position or how he fits with the assets we already have. If we had a team it'd be different but we don't.
