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.

Why are people passing on MPJ... I don't understand this..

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

You take that risk. He's one of the most versatile scorers I have ever witnessed. His game is smooth, and not reliant on athleticism. Shooting is at a premium nowadays...

Looks like Suns and Hornets will make a trade.

Clippers.

Yeah, you take the risk, just probably not with a Top-10 pick.

I'm confused. Why would LAC do this when they were picking next? Was Charlotte threatening to take him at 11?

SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

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.

COME ON AINGE!
Porter would be an ideal fit to fit into the future Phoenix lineup of Point Guard TBD - Booker - Jackson - Porter - Ayton

Imagine if they'd taken Dunn :o.
