The Ayton situation is interesting, because the league knows that Phoenix needs live bodies more than anything, and may not not have to hand over a king’s ransom under the circumstances.

Assuming he’s around, does anyone think Leonard Miller is a possibility? He’s raw, and only shot about thirty percent from three last season, but damned near eighty percent from the line. He doesn’t solve all problems, but he grabs offensive boards like…well, not Kevon Looney, but pretty effectively, nonetheless.

He has a chance to eventually be a starter as much as anyone else that could be available at 24. 6’10” with a 7’2″ wingspan at forward, that’s worth a look.

I’m not a fan. Makes bad decisions, poor awareness and feel for the game – not things that are easily fixed. Couple that with bad shooting and I’m out. Maybe at #38 but not #24.

Well there are reports that they mavs are in the running for Collins. Their offer is Davis Bertrans which is a salary dump and swapping their 10th pick for the Hawks 15th pick. Wouldn’t our offer be better?

I didn’t consider the fact they might have a player they really coveted at 10. It seems like a lot to pay to move up 5 spots though. Especially considering the fact they would be taking on Bertrans contract.

I guess it depends if you think the 15th pick, 24th pick, and maybe even our 38th pick is less valuable than the 10th pick and Bertrans contract. I think the kings offer would have a slight edge. We could even throw in the rights to the Euroleague MVP.

I get that he might not be worth a late first, but he’s certainly worth more than a late second—that’s what the Kings gave up for him last year, and his value is higher now.

There is really no room to take on another project 2nd rounder when we already have the 38th pick. Unless we need the pick to use in a trade for collins or something.

No guarantee he comes over for the Kings this year, so zero chance he comes over for another team he has no relationship with. His recent accomplishments don’t change the value of his rights because it doesn’t make it more likely he comes to the nba.

These transactions don’t happen in a vacuum. If a team is going to trade for Sasha, they’ve been talking to him and know their chances of getting him. I doubt the Kings just took a flier on him when they picked up his rights last year—they did their homework had an idea that he’d be gettable in the right circumstances. If the Kings trade his rights, it will almost certainly be the result of a discussion that’s been going on for awhile, to a team who has a better idea of his interest than any of us are aware.

I guess that’s possible but a Euro-stashed player’s rights have never been traded for anything but mid to late 2nds.

Package deal where his rights were seen as the least valuable of the pieces at the time. He had also made his intentions to come over clear well before the trade happened.

Holy shit, Bilal really did shoot up the draft boards. And to think, I thought the Kings should take him at #24 just a few weeks ago when he was mocked at the end of the first round.

The word is medical reports.

It sounds like he had bad workouts & has medical concerns.

I like Hawkins. Pels got a good one there.

Our pick now starting to come into focus. Getting exciting. TJD and Sensabaugh are possibilities. A lot of guards out there. I hope the Kings get a big.

I can see Miami grabbing him and setting him up with the “right” doctor to fix those medical concerns.

Not sure about the fit for the hawks with 2 ball dominant guards on the team already

I think the Hawks are going to blow it up here pretty quick. They have one of the highest payrolls next season and ATL doesn’t print money like other organizations.

True I’d have to think one or both of their 2 current guards might be gone soon. I’d imagine Tray could get them a decent haul

I’ve heard more rumors about Atlanta trading Murray.

Yeah I didn’t understand the trade to get him in the first place considering he’s a very good on the ball pg and kind of square pegging him off ball with tray there. Bufkin is probably a better fit with Tray as a combo/2guard

Think they wanted a defensive guard with him, because Trae is awful defensively.

Same, and I’d rather have Murray on my team than Trae

He seems like a perfect fit for the heat honestly with the system they have in place. Really love that pick for them and him

I like Jaquez, but I didn’t expect him to be picked ahead of Whitmore & Murray.

Miami just gets players, and JJJ is a player. Solid pick.

Fun player to watch at UCLA. Said in an interview (question was who do you compare yourself to) that he would like to play like Jimmy Butler.

If the dubs don’t take Kris there’s a real chance he falls to 24 I think
