DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[Mapka]

So depending on how the NBA decides to move forward with the season we might not be locked into #18?

Surely we can´t move down, unless they decide to play more regular season games. If that´s the case it surely won´t go beyond 70 games, which realistically means we catch up to the Pacers and/or Sixers. So worst case we´d pick 20th. On the other hand, if the teams from 9-10 in each conference get a play-in opportunity, the teams in 7+8 need some sort of compensation/incentive, i.e. the Mavs taking the ping-pong balls from their conquerors.

I´m not gonna lie a 14% chance at a top 4 pick sounds pretty nice. I´m sure Ball or Edwards could be the core piece of a Beal trade.

I'd think we should find a better fit, if we can shop a high pick. But I would prefer playoffs and I also think it#s more propable.

All depends on the format.

If they make this a single elimination play-in tournament, I can easily see the Suns or Blazers upset us. One game in basketball is always a bit of a crapshoot, especially at a neutral venue coming out of a three months break.

Therefore they need to offer the 7th/8th seed some sort of compensation for risking their play-off spots, if the NBA decided to change its playing format in the middle of the season.

If they do something ridiciouls unfair like this, giving us the No.1 pick might not be enough.

Running into a Dame maybe going Supernova for just one game, no thanks. But I guess (hope) they have a better solution.
