Would have been nice if the C?s moved up a few spots last night?

The cost for moving up last night was weirdly astronomical. New Orleans gave up a pick that projects in the top 10 to get up like 9 spots.

I was noticing that too.  Feel like packaging the 28 and 32 would have gotten us to 27, lol. 

Nah, there were some guys I was interested in before our pick range last night, but it looked like the price to make that happen was just not worth it.

Jazz gave up 3 second round picks to move from 21 to 18 so they could take Clayton Jr. That?s astronomical?

How disappointed are people going to be if BOS trades back for pick 51 (for example) and 2 seconds in 2033 or something like that?

The Brooklyn Nets are trading the No. 36 pick in tonight's NBA Draft to the Phoenix Suns for two future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Suns now own Nos. 36, 52 and 59.

Very because there are 3 first round guys right there that can come in and help them which they really need. Trading back is so dumb.
