Yeah, it's kind of complicated, but I'm guessing this is the plan, draft one of Tatum/Jackson, maybe Isaac? (I imagine if it's Isaac, Ainge will trade down from #3 to #5+10).

And then of course, pursue a max FA like Hayward/Griffin. My gut tells me Ainge and CBS feel they have Hayward 'in the bag', but zero guarantees of course. I think it's just as likely Hayward stays in Utah.

So what do you guys hope for?

And I'm assuming PHI takes Fultz as expected, and LAL end up taking Ball anyways.

Out of all of those options, I'm leaning towards PG and Blake. I feel like those two would turn us into quite a deadly team.

However the real dream is a godfather offer for AD.

I would take that, but PG13 seems hell-bent on going to LAL, and is an expiring contract.

That's why for me, it's Tatum + Griffin, though it's pretty close between that and Jackson + Griffin too.

I think drafting either Tatum/Jackson and adding Hayward creates a big logjam at 2/3 with Crowder, AB, Brown already in the mix.

Sign Hayward this offseason. Trade all 134923 of our picks and Horford after next year for Davis.

Thomas, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Davis.

Hope the warriors become cursed.

We should keep those picks. If, and I know it is a big if, we get lucky and strike gold next year with 2 of Porter, Ayton, Doncic, Bamba, then AD will be calling us when he hits free agency.

Take Tatum and sign Griffin/Hayward.
Continue to compete and maybe upset CLE in ECF while not sacrificing the future.

I voted Griffin and George, because I seriously doubt PG would walk away from Boston next summer. Most money, most years, and superior situation basketball-wise.

Is it crazy that I want to just skip this draft now?

Let's move the #3 and get more first round picks for 2018 and 2019. Since our goal is not to pick the best player in the draft and to just create cap space and more assets, let's keep going.

Trade the #3 to Phoenix, Sacramento or New York for their 2018 and a protected 2019.

Let's just collect more assets.

I want Gordon Hayward as a signing. I think he will compliment our system very well.

Hey, here's your 1st TP!  ;D

Yeah but lets hope CLE don't manage to get George either.

BUT it's probably a one year thing. If CLE don't win it all next year, I could actually see LBJ leave and that's the end of the Cavs.

My screen must be messed up. I can't see the box you made for Fultz/Hayward.

We'll get through this.

Unless Fultz turns into a longer Jerry West. Then I'll never get over it  ;D
