I'm not completely against Brown but I'm sad that the guards are off the board. I'd try to trade back. . .

Now that I hear the Celtics will likely take Dunn at 3 if they can't move the pick, I hope the 76ers get the pick. I heard Bryan Colangelo say that they would like to get 2 top 5 picks. He mentioned Simmons and either Murray or Buddy as a scenario. He mentioned Ingram and Dunn as another scenario. He said something to the effect of getting shooters around Simmons, so they would likely take one of the shooters. If that happens, my dream pick of Kris Dunn could maybe still happen. So now I'm hoping it goes:
1. 76ers: Ben Simmons
2. Lakers: Brandon Ingram
3. 76ers: Jamal Murray
4. Suns: Chriss or Bender
5. T-wolves: Buddy Hield
6. Pels: Kris Dunn
It just seems weird that the Celtics would take Dunn though since they have Thomas and Smart. Them and the T-wolves need shooters more than anything. The T-wolves have ball handlers as well in Rubio and Lavine. So I'm hoping the Celtics are just saying that to get more action for the pick since it seems Dunn has moved into being the 3rd guy. I'm still hoping Murray is the 3rd guy on those teams picking before us. I'll be happy though with Dunn, Buddy, or Murray. I just hope the Suns keep their pick cause that would likely screw it all up for us. They have to take Chriss or Bendwr at 4 you would think?!?!
If not then I wouldn't be totally out of taking that trade from the 76ers if they want one of the shooters. I would take Okafor and Noel for the 6th pick. Imagine if we could send them 6 and Asik for Okafor & Noel. I would take D'Angelo Russell from the Lakers as well if they want to move him.
C: Okafor, Ajinca
PF: AD, Noel
SF: FA, QPon
SG: Tyreke
PG: Jrue, Frazier
That would be a sweet team to watch next season lol
A week ago I would have loved Murray but people really think he's Harden on defense. If that's the case I may prefer Brown or Bender if buddy and Dunn are gone
I am just happy that it is finally here. And I hope whoever they pick turns out to be better than they thought.
Dunn
Hield
Russell
Okafor
Murray
Bender

I know most of you guys already know this. But, just remember>.In the NBA DRAFT, the teams Do NOT switch places in a trade scenario for picks. So, if you like Dunn & Boston picks him, dont fret, they may have picked him for the Pelicans. Just a FYI in case so stragglers are not aware. ENJOY THE DRAFT !
I think Buddy needs to be there at 6 for us to trade for Russell, and I don't see that happening now.
I'm 100% sure Murray will be the pick if he's on the board. Only question is whether we'll keep him. If Boston picks Dunn at 3 and ultimately trades him, they might still look to acquire Murray, who they were high on at one point.

I thought Charlotte was trying to shed cap?
I could see us trading Murray for 8 and 22 to pick Brown or Bender.
Don't know what assets we have to make it happen, but I think we could try to trade up to 3 to take Dunn
Well, one thing's for sure, this draft is going to be nerve-wracking and/or exciting. I can't wait for this thing to start. I remember last year people were clammoring for trades because they add excitement. This might be the year for those folks.:P
