Golden State (via MIN) - Scottie Barnes | F | Florida State 14. Golden State -Josh Giddey | G | Adelaide Would be a weird hall for the Warriors, both guys are playmakers but neither guy will be an immediate impact player and they both struggle shooting the ball.

I like Giddey but I think Duarte would definitely be a better pick. Giddey is a good playmaker but he's not a great shooter and probably won't be a huge contributor in year 1. Duarte is a guy that can step in and help the Lakers right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hoping Spurs take Bouknight. And hoping for one of Isaiah Todd or Greg Brown to slide to them in the 2nd. Trading Lonnie Walker for the rights to Kai Jones or Isaiah Jackson would be cool too, along with signing John Collins in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think Bron wants to have to babysit a player if we do use that draft pick it should be for someone who can step in year 1 and contribute like if we kept the pick last year it should've probably been Desmond Bane who was a bit over 22 years old, but could shoot and play some defense. We already have enough developing to do with THT. And, yeah I like what I've read and seen on YouTube of Giddey, but he seems like he's rising up boards anyways and is more of a fit for a team in that Spurs to Celtics range.

Yeah I was pretty annoyed that we passed on Bane for Azudukie last year. Hopefully we can add some guard depth this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for us to somehow move up into the lottery and draft Davion Mitchell, just don't think we have enough assets to make that big of a leap unfortunately. With who is likely to be available I'd be happy to see us move up a couple of spots to take Jared Butler, Ayo Dosunmu, Chris Duarte, or Jaden Springer. We don't have any second round picks but I'd love to see us buy two and then take Joel Ayayi and Ibou Dianko Badji. Not sure how our cap situation will be or what we'll do with Conley. But Derrick Rose, Otto Porter, and Trevor Ariza are 3 guys I'd want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you guys even make your pick it will probably be packaged with Kuzma and Schroder for another starting piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both would fit our slashing positionless fundemental freeform g-league style offense perfectly. Another best case scenario would be landing picks 2/5. Then you could take Evan Mobley/Jalen Suggs or Jalen Green/Jonathan Kuminga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YogiBiz Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Johnathan Macri said apparently the Knicks are the team that promised Duarte because of his connection with World Wide Wes which for the life of me I can't find proof of any where. EDIT: About the connection, not the Macri quote. Edited June 16, 2021 by YogiBiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
