8 + 23 + Mavs future 1

With the Mavs pick, I feel pretty certain that’s going to be a not well sought after pick due to Luka’s performance. It’s going to be late in the draft order. Sure it might help a smidge but no one is taking that pick thinking it’s going to be a lottery pick.

I’ll accept my asst. GM position now

[SixFeetDeep]

i was going to say this. the talent dropoff after the first 2-3 picks is big and we're not getting two of the top 23, we have two picks for players in the 8-23 range, which by all estimations won't be franchise altering

i'm gonna LOL if they package up all of these picks to move up just to get a guy like toppin

I’m all in on Obi Toppin

Obviously 90% because of his name

Cavs beat writer:

Kelsey Russo @kelseyyrusso

The Cavs and Knicks have discussed trading the No. 5 pick for 8 and 23, but the Cavs are holding out for more, sources told @TheAthleticNBA. For reference, the Pelicans and Hawks swapped 4 for 8, 17 and 35, among other pieces, in a draft-day deal last year.

They are gonna try to move up for Ball

They are gonna try to move up for Ball

Sure seems like he’s going to Charlotte.

Knicks took Toppin seemed like the ESPN guys wanted them to take the Iowa State PG

Called it. (Kinda.) Poor lad is distraught about going to the Knicks.

Got him anyway and we're back up at 23.

Let's go!

Good pick at 8

[Jumbo]

Not a fan of Obi or trading up at 23 (since it doesn't seem like they're gonna flip it), but we'll see

We did need another 6-9 forward.

I forgot we still have Randle. Can't wait to watch him spin into the lane and turn the ball over 10 times a game.

At 23 Knicks drafted Leandro Bolmaro

A guy that wasn’t even mentioned as an option by the panel again. I find it surprising that they needed to trade up to secure him.

Apparently they are expecting him to stay in Argentina for now

[Libero_2]

Apparently the Knicks just traded him to the TWolves for 25 and 33.

I’d say that makes it clear that the trade from 27 to 23 was an attempt to move up that didn’t happen

Myles Powell went undrafted, hoping the Knicks sign him.
