Why does the guy in CBS mentioned Reed as True Freshman like three times?

[@thezackast2752]

I want the Hornets to draft Devin Carter. I want him because he is a great defender and, more importantly, he is an exceptionally hard worker. We need someone exactly, _exactly_ , like that. We need someone to go with Miller as a trendsetter for this team. I'd take Castle as well, because of how big he is, but I think Carter would change the locker room in a great way. Then get Ryan Dunn in the second. Great defender. What I'm saying here is, this isn't a great draft talent wise. So go ahead and get defense, all the way. We have scoring threats. Bridges can score 20 a game, so can Miller, so can LaMelo. Mark Williams can score 10 a game. Mann can score 10 a game. We need defense before we need anything else.

Risacher vs Castle at 4 like in Vecenie's mock would be a really tough choice for the Spurs. I would desperately try to move up from 8 to 5 and hope the Pistons would want say Keldon Johnson and #8 so I could take them both if I'm the Spurs.

What about the idea of the wizards in Houston getting together in Houston gets the rights to I don’t know to pool and Kuzma. And wizards get the 3 pick and there pic back from wall for Westbrook trade . The wizards use the 3 pick draft Zackery Zaccharie Risacher end up out this draft or I did bring up this idea as well a three team trade between Washington Houston, and the Spurs, where the Spurs would get Jones sign and trade and the second pick overall Houston would get Kuzma , and pool and wizards would get 3,4,8 picks , and wizards get the 1round back from Houston . The spurs could get Zaccharie Risacher then wizards could draft sarr number 3 , number 4 they could draft there pg of the future in STEPHON CASTLE and with number 8 the wizards would draft ZACH EDEY then 26 wizards could draft either Tyler Kolek, Ryan Dunn , Pacome Dadiet then with 50 bonny James . Thet would end up being amazing draft for the wizard thing about this draft it help all three teams

[@DavidChinh]

😂😂😂 Imagine believing that Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma have any trade value in 2024 is bonkers.

[@thezackast2752]

Poole's contract isn't being traded this year. Kuzma isn't worth the 3rd overall, much less the 3rd and another pick. That would be a great situation for the wizards but I doubt the rockets and spurs would allow that many spots by one team in the top 10.

[@chrishutchens5167]

@@thezackast2752 this is not the normal draft. This is where you don’t understand the value of the pics because this is a development draft that he his draft is worth that. Yes it is. This is not a normal dress of the value of the pics is a lot less than what the normal draft is that’s why there was talk about Detroit trading freaking and other things in the trade to get them because the value is there. This is why you’re not in the position your overvalue in the pic these players in this draft at best even if the high picks are just role players, second of all, Paul is capable of being an all NBA player and All-Star. He’s proven. He has a track record doing it. Yes he had a bad season. Everybody has a bad season or two during their career. They’re not the greatest. It happens to everyone and yes, he needs to mature but maybe be under Popovich it might actually make him that good so get him better Jones is probably a first run draft pick at this point because of the season he had the value is there you don’t understand how it really works. I’m sorry, but you don’t. This is a development draft. Not a draft of guarantee people are gonna be superstars every one of the players in this draft have flaws every one of them there’s no guaranteed superstar player in this draft, there’s some better chances higher ceilings and others but it’s still a development. Draft is a lot less than a normal draft.

[@thezackast2752]

@chrishutchens5167 Even as a bad draft, Kuzma isn't worth a 3rd overall. Maybe you could get the Spurs to give you the 8th overall for him, though I'm not sure I see the fit with him and Sochan. I would personally rate his value at 10-15 overall. Poole isn't getting traded because of the size of his contract in comparison to his play. He had a down year, which isn't uncommon. The problem is that you cannot pay someone 30 million a year on a down year. He has a proven track record of good play for a team and system that is known for bringing out the best in its players, especially guards. Popovich is an excellent coach, but even then it's hard to justify taking on that contract. The problem with your proposal is that it offers very little to teams other than the Wizards.

[@thezackast2752]

@chrishutchens5167 What I'm intending to say here is that Poole is a rehabilitation project right now. Last season was not simply a 'bad season', he was regularly committing mistakes that you see in the G-league. Kuzma isn't worth enough to move down in this draft, especially not for the number of picks you are suggesting. As I said, for a late lottery pick he would be worth a trade, but not higher. This is a developmental draft, which is why the Spurs and Rockets should be comfortable where they are. They're developing teams. I am not overestimating the value of this draft. You are underestimating the value of the Washington Wizards.
