Woj is reporting that Denver is seriously considering Porter with their pick.

Man, virtually all of the offensive talent has gone out West this draft and would only be worse if Porter heads to Denver. Crazy disparity.

Only missed on bamba young swap.

Yeah, they've been spot on. Pretty much the best predictions I've seen. Its eerie.

Can't imagine Porter gets past LAC or DEN at 13 or 14, but if he does at what point does Danny see some value there and try and nab him, especially given that we can give him all the time in the world to heal and recover?

Clearly none of the core players or the better picks (SAC, MEM) would be up for grabs, but the LAC pick and our own picks could be in play.

You wouldn't trade the Sac pick straight up for the chance to draft Porter?  How confident are you that the Sac pick will yield a player better than him?  I think a player of Porter's ability healthy is better than the best case scenario for the Sac pick.

Yeah I don't see the Wizards passing up on MPJ.

Apparently Gortat also said he was headed West, and that it's pretty much 99% guaranteed.

So we'll see what happens..

I'm guessing we're pretty much staying put at #27, AND keeping Rozier.

I truthfully don't think it's worth packaging Rozier just to go up like 4-5 spots this draft.

Probably not with his injury concerns. Given his talent level and potential (probably has the highest ceiling in the draft), those injury concerns must be severe if he is falling this far.

I read a medical opinion on MpJ. Basically his hip is a separate but serious problem and completely different from the bad back

He has 2 red flags
