I don't really get the rankings, but Allen Stafford looks like a #1 pick and franchise player to me. There are a bunch of guys with talent in this top 10.

THE DUKE Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 This will be interesting to follow. Collins sounds a lot like KD, which is a nice piece to build around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 76ers are looking strong after signing Demarcus Cousins and Khris Middleton in the offseason. Their starting 5 is now Dragic, Middleton, Simmons, Cousins, Embiid. I need to try to acquire another first round pick because my Timberwolves pick is lottery protected and might not convey to me until next year.

MKnight82 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 *TRADE* Chicago Bulls Receive PG Yogi Ferrell (76) Miami Heat Receive C Christiano Felicio (74) 2020 Bulls 1st Round Pick The Bulls are basically paying me to take Felicio's contract off their hands. He has 2 years remaining, he's making $8ish mil this year and next. The Bulls are doing well right now but they could possibly fall in the standing during the second half of the season.

MKnight82 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 *TRADE* Dallas Mavericks Receive C Jacob Poeltl (77) Miami Heat Receive C Brent Bishop (70) 2021 2nd Round Pick Poeltl's deal is expiring and I'm just trying to get anything in return for him. Bishop was a 2nd round pick in this past draft and isn't very good. I will likely not retain him after this year. Just grabbing a 2nd round pick in this trade.

MKnight82 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 League Meetings The league voted on whether to add an expansion team or not. There were 21 yes votes, 9 no votes. They needed 23 to pass, so it barely failed. I wonder how that would have shaken things up. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Draft Lottery I have the #2 odds. The top 5 odds are: 1. Spurs (25.0%) 2. Heat (19.9%) 3. Celtics via Grizzlies (15.6%) 4. Timberwolves (9.0%) 5. Kings (9.0%) Who’s it going to be….. The Spurs fell to 3, my pick held at 2, and the Celtics won the lottery. That is ridiculous, the Celtics don't need another #1 pick. So I have the #2 and #19 picks in this draft.
