#1 is Paolo, and Vegas got it right. Some people made a lot of money on this one.

Give Williams the chance to take unlimited 3-pointers in the playoffs and trade him? Not gunna happen.

Biggest draft redo in my opinion would be the Celtics taking Keldon Johnson over Langford. I honestly think they would have beat the warriors if they had Johnson off the bench

Go best player available no matter what pick you have

2nd Round draft picks

6:59

Did the Kings and Magic get enough for trading away their 2nd Round draft picks today? Seems like they did not get much in return.

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:01

The Magic did receive a future Lakers second-rounder, and they already have plenty of young guys to develop, so I like that deal for them. The Kings' move seems to more about cost-cutting. They also got cash considerations back in the deal and the draft rights to Sasha Vezenkov, a first-team All-EuroLeague player this year.

Nets better trade into first round

Dmoney190

Banchero -5000 as the first pick right now.

Celtics

7:04

Does Nesmith and pick 53 get you into the backend of the 1st round?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:05

I don't think so.

Vince

Could Portland make 2 separate sign and trades involving Nurkic and Simons?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:05

They certainly could with Simons, who has a lot of promise. Nurkic's injury history may give other clubs pause depending on the price. But it could be done. Would be tough to pull off!

Grizz looking to trade up! Top 12? Top 8?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:06

They have the exciting young assets to make that kind of move!

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:07

Here we go!

DIngle

Lakers only grabbed that pick to increase trade capital - trade coming soon

Jake

7:07

Saw a rumor about Nerlens Noel to the Wolves. Would that make sense for the Wolves ?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:10

He's a bit pricey for a reserve center (signed to a three-year, $32MM deal last year), but he is a talented and athletic defender and could help spell KAT on defense. Would be a bit of an overpay but he could help.

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:09

Paolo!

Killa Cam

7:10

Odds Cam Reddish is still on the Knicks after tonight?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:10

50/50. He's got some upside, and could be a nice throw-in for the Knicks to move up.

Matt

7:10

What Veteran gets Trade first tonight.

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:11

It feels like the Hawks really, really want to trade John Collins.

Bunk

7:11

If Paolo goes number 1, who goes two. Still Chet?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:11

That's what Woj just tweeted!

Bulls

7:11

What players will we be able to choose at 18? Who should we get?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:13

The Bulls may look for athletic bigs like EJ Liddell of OSU, Tari Eason of LSU, or Mark Williams of Duke, if any of those guys are left. Sharpshooting Mega Basket small forward Nikola Jovic could be a fit too.

Chances Hornets trade up or trade Hayward

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:14

Given that they have two good picks (No. 13 and No. 15), they could probably move near that No. 10 spot! Hayward's contract is a net negative, to move off him they would probably need to include some future draft equity.

Matt

7:15

Would a SF forward be somebody Kings get if they move 4 pick?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:16

The Kings are always inscrutable. That said, it seems like their biggest need is a wing!

ohio440guy

7:16

Cavs try to get Murray from the Spurs ?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:16

Murray next to Darius Garland would be pretty great, but I'm assuming San Antonio would want a lot more than the No. 14 pick for him.

How has John Collins not been traded yet?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:17

We've still got plenty of time...

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:17

How do we feel about the Holmgren/Poku fit?

Matt

7:18

Do Rockets Trade pick because might need Smith Jr.?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:18

Definitely not. Smith is a first-rate talent. I'm surprised he slid to No. 3.

Sam

7:18

What's the Pistons working on?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:21

They're probably hoping Ivey falls to them.
