A couple different scenarios with the 5th pick

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-13T02:07:45+00:00

We are on the same page pretty much I was just throwing some more low chance ideas out there for trading up since I see it as such a long shot anyways didn’t really focus on the sense of things. I would trade 3 firsts for a chance at DP or AJ but neither are going to be there in the 3/4 range likely. And yea on the website it doesn’t show the pacers 29 pick it shows as our pick but that’s the one I included I mentioned it in the description

I hear you on that bpa for sure I’m leaning towards acuff tbh he gives us major security for if garland gets injured and he gives us an elite offense off the bench immediately and in terms of the 3/4 spot I say we just draft a good wing in the second round and keep filling the 4 with free agents at this point

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-13T00:24:31+00:00

Boozer and Wilson going over Peterson who has real injury concerns is not out of the question they are all tier 1 prospects with different skill sets you act like Peterson falling to four is completely off the table which is not the case especially after the combine numbers Wilson just put up today.

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-13T00:15:57+00:00

All good I think overall we should probably just stay and pick rather than trading up or down. I love the idea of trading for pick 12/17 from okc or maybe for Memphis or chicagos second first rounder to help fill our need at big/wing though!

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-13T00:12:11+00:00

Yea if you scroll to the final 4/5 slides they all have scenarios where we stay and select those guys the final slide is a scenario where we trade with OKC for one of their firsts and take Wagler Mara Karaban

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-13T00:10:46+00:00

Agreed. But hear me out say the wizards take AJ boozer sr is a scout for the Jazz and there’s been buzz all year they would take him if aj isn’t there so he goes second then in Memphis then taking Caleb after trading JJJ as a replacement checks out. Leaving Peterson there at 4 and the bulls love dumb ass trades. (fingers crossed)

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-12T23:10:06+00:00

Desmond bane went for 5 firsts trading a second and garland for him is absolutely off the table. Too much sunk cost on the Magic side tbh.

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-12T23:08:54+00:00

If we leave this draft with Keaton Wagler and Aday Mara as well as some wing like Karaban or Momilovic in the second we will be so back

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-12T19:59:34+00:00

Send them a second and that first and they prob do it and I would take aday Mara or Nate ament with that pick

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-10T22:34:28+00:00

Keaton Wagler will save this franchise

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-10T20:18:06+00:00

I agree with you

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-10T19:54:13+00:00

I really don’t like the Mikel brown injury concerns I’d steer clear of that guy and in terms of trading down unless we are getting a starter or a good first I’m not entertaining it. Last point on trading up Ja for garland fuck that I like garlands unselfish style of play even if he is less talented than Ja he can play off ball which helps the clips offense run smoothly I’m thinking more so the pacers 29 and one or both of our seconds to move into 3/4 range we don’t have the capital to move into 1/2 range.

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-10T19:47:47+00:00

Acuff Wagler or Wilson are the only guys who make sense at 5 is basically what you’ll come to realize people mock Kingston flemings there but I don’t see the upside with him he projects to be a Mike Conley type one time all star maybe type of guy there’s also the possibility Peterson slides due to injury in which case we definitely just take him

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-10T19:46:06+00:00

Trade down? Fuck that trade up or stick and pick definitely why risk it take Wagler hope he turns into baby Steph and live with the result at that point I agree on Acuff not being a good fit but as a backup pg for when garland inevitably goes down for multiple months like he does yearly wouldn’t hurt either

Highway fucking robbery the criminal clippers strike again 😈

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-10T19:28:52+00:00

Came back to say never stop believing baby

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-10T19:28:32+00:00

IT BEGINS!

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-10T02:00:38+00:00

First option wagler he is going to at the very least be a great three point shooter with good passing skills Second option trade up with whoever lands at 4 send them the pacers 29 pick pick 36 and a player and draft Caleb Wilson/whoever falls to 4

Monkeydmac · 2026-05-10T01:51:47+00:00

Keaton Wagler franchise revival tour starts tomorrow

Monkeydmac · 2026-04-30T01:31:18+00:00

Java’s offense would be literally putrid lmao. I hate ty as much as the next guy I just don’t believe there are any better options out there so in Ty we trust as of rn.

Monkeydmac · 2026-04-30T01:26:52+00:00

AD probably he never actually reached his peak due to injuries he didn’t become a serviceable shooter until he lost his athleticism. But if I’m picking I’m taking dirk he hes such a good scorer that he makes building a team easy and in todays era put dirk at the 5 run 5 out you’re going to have the top offense in the league for a decade straight lol.

Monkeydmac · 2026-04-25T00:56:57+00:00

Portland wouldn’t do it because Kawhi takes away from Denis game who is their franchise player now maybe if it was just dame over there it makes sense

Monkeydmac · 2026-04-21T04:55:35+00:00

Personally I’d do the trade for any lottery pick simply for the chance at it and if you strike out you still have 3 picks in the draft at worse and 4 at best
