Charlotte is discussing trade possibilities with the 11th pick, league sources tell ESPN. Phoenix has wanted to get back into lottery to get one of elite point guards. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is focus here.

Most of Chaunceys player comparisons are not good at all.
Still laughing at Jackson Jr. compared to Joakim Noah ::)

If I'm the Clips with 2 picks in a row, I take a chance on Porter, Jr. He's head and shoulders above the rest of the draft in talent, and you still get whoever is #1 on your board right now (if not him).


What would the Clippers want for MPJ? Argh!

He only chooses players from his era of the NBA.

She’s beautiful
trying to avoid getting banned for saying something in this #metoo time but yeah, she's hot.  too bad he didn't fall to the C's.  she could take a seat at home games right next to Tatum's mom   8)

Yep, same here. You definitely have to take the chance on him at that point.

If LAC lands Porter with one of these next two picks, add in a DeAndre Jordan or Tobias Harris in a package and that could really get the Spurs listening.

Clips need a PG.  Rozier for #12 or #13.

Similar to when we had two picks in 2012 and took Sully. I’d be shocked if the Clips don’t take him

Medical history and back issues. Looks like teams are more aware now about there being more risks than originally thought.

In before Jerry West takes him and the rest of the NBA goes, "oh crap." ;D

Looks like Suns and Hornets will make a trade.
