TP_Fan Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 We get the 5th pick. Fall 2 spots and get none of the top players. Cool. Quote
Hart Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 Bummer. Well, at least we got Cade last year. Still, it would have been nice to have one more commercial break of hope. Quote
buddha Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 this feels more like it. back to our usual lack of lottery luck/getting fucked. steve yzerman waves hello. Quote
Hart Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 I don't know why but I don't want OKC to win this thing. Quote
Hongbit Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 Just now, Hart said: I don't know why but I don't want OKC to win this thing. In a way they already have Quote
Deleterious Posted May 18, 2022 Author Posted May 18, 2022 5 is a nice spot to get Sharpe or Mathurin. 1 Quote
TP_Fan Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 There is nothing ever good from being a sports fan. It’s always just losing. As much sports as I watch and I’ve witnessed one championship. Pistons in 04. Everyone is losers. Quote
Hart Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 We'll see how things play out between now and June 23 but as other have said, this really doesn't feel like that big of deal right now. I really have a hard time ranking the order of the top 6 or 7 prospects. Quote
Hart Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 Is there really a top 3 tier of Smith, Holmgren, and Banchero right now? Or is ESPN just blowing smoke. Quote

Hart Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 If the rumors about the Pistons really loving Keegan Murray are true (which they probably are not), you have to wonder if that means they are looking to trade Grant. Quote
Deleterious Posted May 18, 2022 Author Posted May 18, 2022 I do like Sacramento picking before us. Get that bust off the board before we pick... 1 Quote
TP_Fan Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 I find it much more likely that grant is traded than not. Portland makes so much sense. They didn’t move up, dame wants grant and the blazers need to keep dame happy. Doesn’t seem like a stretch that the pistons have the 5th and 7th pick. 1 Quote
Betrayer Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 Bright side is Chet and Paolo will likely be gone. Sharpe or Ivey will be there. Of course, Weaver might also go Murray. The again, Murray plays Grant’s position so… We should be shopping Grant to the Kings and Blazers, the two teams trying win now. Give me a second pick if we’re going after Murray so we can get one of the guards as well. Quote
Deleterious Posted May 18, 2022 Author Posted May 18, 2022 Things are likely to change a lot between now and the draft. But you can probably count on 2 of these 3 being there at #5: Sharpe Mathurin Ivey Possibly all three but that seems a bit unlikely. As long as they don't blow it and take Murray things should be fine. 1 Quote
Deleterious Posted May 18, 2022 Author Posted May 18, 2022 Sam Vecenie is going live to discuss the outcome. Quote

NYLion Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 Meh, I'm fine with it. Would have preferred top 3 but I don't see much of a spread between 1-6 in this draft. The biggest takeaway to the Pistons not finishing top 3 is that they are likely in the market for a big man now and are likely out on Brunson if they don't take Murray. Hoping for Sharpe or Mathurin, would be ok with Murray or even Ivey. Quote

The Pistons are the big winners by getting Cade alone. Quote

I'd be really surprised if he was traded but I'm ready to be surprised. Portland not moving up does increase the slim chance of it happening but I doubt they offer up a pick that high for a pending UFA. Quote

As long as they don't blow it and take Murray things should be fine. I could easily see Sacramento taking Murray. They're guard heavy so I'd be surprised if they took Ivey (who is basically a poor man's Fox) or Sharpe but maybe I'm wrong. The Kings are the type of franchise that I could see reaching for somebody like Duren. Edited May 18, 2022 by NYLion 1 Quote
