Knicks kind of in deadmans land with that pick
They need to get one of the PG's and hope one drops to number 8 otherwise they might have to reach a little for Cole Anthony, who I like tho

Yea, if i'm the Wolves i'm calling Phoenix about Booker. I think they also control the Nets pick this year too
Charlotte has to be hype. They are ending up with a good player regardless but Wiseman is their best pick and choice who I think falls to them

They are ending up with a good player regardless but Wiseman is their best pick and choice who I think falls to them I mean they can call but I don’t see what incentive at all Phoenix has to do that. Booker has 4 years left on that deal and the Suns just had their best showing in years with a young team that’ll presumably get even better. |

The Warriors will probably also try to trade their pick. Can't see them trying to develop a rookie with Steph/Klay/Draymond all in their 30's.

Booker could force the move since he wants to play with them but I doubt he will |

Because they can get this pick plus draft capital for a few years. If they wanted to sell high they could but thanks to them going 8-0, Suns will have belief they can compete next season |

Booker could force the move since he wants to play with them but I doubt he will Sure, if Booker requested it and made some pressure in the media it might force their hand. But there’s not really any reason for him to do that now. Maybe if they regress this year but there would still be a lot of time left on an extension he just signed. |

Knicks 8th. ESPN is going to have new Stephen A material for the next week, at least. And now, time for the game even non-fans like me can enjoy: EVERYBODY LAUGH AT THE KNICKS! And meanwhile the Bucks somehow have a tie series with ORLANDO, thus proving that that Bucks are all oat and no meal. |

If he doesn't want to look like the bad guy he won't do it. Like I said due to the 8-0 run, both Booker and Suns are content so while it is the perfect opportunity to play with his friends who he is on record saying that's what he wants to do, Wolves will most likely have to move too much weight to get him and the Suns don't have to play ball |

The Raptors also lost a single game to the Magic last year before winning the whole thing. A single loss means nothing. Lol |

Kinda wonder if the Spurs try to trade up and attach Aldridge. They just saw what they’re capable of without him and can clear some cap to retain Poetl if they decide they want to roll with him as their starting center. There are a few teams ahead of the Spurs I’m the draft order that have the cap space to absorb his contract. Plus he only has a year left on that deal so it’s not a long term commitment for anyone that wants to play in the 2021 free agency.
Then again the optics of salary dumping really the only major free agent signing you ever landed is not great so probably not.

I’d call about Simmons if I was Phoenix. They probably will try a new coach first but I don’t think it’ll go that much better. What even is that roster? |

No real teams out there to really take that salary tho and they wouldn't move up far Maybe the Knicks at number 8 can take that deal but the other teams outside of Charlotte don't have the cap and Charlotte isn't moving that pick |

After so many years of suffering, we finally catch a break. So excited for the 3rd pick! Ikr, I was hoping for #1 but I'm not mad getting the 3rd pick. |
