SB nation writers mock draft

[cltc5]

Lol is the cavs owner son making these decisions?

[mmmmm]

I think G.Hayward for the #3 is a good trade. I don't see why Utah wants to do it though. They want to get away from rebuilding. Not get deeper into it.

I don't like it because it's poor value when you consider that we likely have to be considered a strong suitor (because of Brad) to simply sign Hayward as a free agent next year.

The trade Jeff executed basically amounts to giving away the #3 pick & change in order to get Hayward on board a year early.

That's an expensive year.

I would rather keep the pick (or use it for some other trade) and have both it (or it's value) AND Hayward next year.

Not when he's (technically) an expiring.

He's got a player option next year and might command a max. We basically get a trial run for him for one year and decide if we want to keep him, but that means paying more than he's already making.

I'd love it if we could at least get two years off of him. But not in his current contract status. It's better to bank on then potential of whoever we pick at #3. At the very least, that guy will be cost controlled for 3 years.

If you think that trade is bad, at least you're not the Wolves blogger who picked Denzel Valentine at #7.

Hey, that's what happens when you give McHale access to the internet.

Yeah, the Jazz aren't doing that trade.

Some good news http://www.ridiculousupside.com/2016/6/21/11985498/nba-mock-draft-boston-celtics-select-domantas-sabonis-from-gonzaga?_ga=1.27204735.312804937.1464065594

Triboy you'll be pleased! It would be great if he fell to 16. I really don't expect it to happen but if the Wolves really do pick Denzel Valentine then I guess anything can happen!

I hope so

No chance to get Sabonis at 16th.  He's going to Toronto at 9
