I published both of these together because they're of a piece. I think the Heat want to add an All-Star during the offseason. They may use their current pick (No. 27) now, but that guy may not be on the team for long.

Rick

7:35

as a sixers fan I prefer they keep the pick also. Need some young players that can you know..play and are cheap.

Luciano

7:35

Of the top 3 picks who has the most fantasy value? Asking for a friend…

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:36

Answering this question would be a conflict of interest for me given that you're in my fantasy league...

7:36

Ivey. LG!

Victor

7:37

Could the rockets have gotten the #7 from Portland for Wood + #17 ?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:37

I doubt it, considering how little Wood just went for from Dallas.

Green Room Employee

7:37

Who is going to be the last guy in the green room tonight?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:37

Jovic?

Victor

7:37

Is it odd that Paolo did not work out for Orlando and they draft him over the 2 guys they DID work out ?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:37

Orlando's gonna Orlando.

Issac Okoro + Darius Garland

7:37

What’s our plan for tonight as of rn it’s looking kinda fun…

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:38

You should get a win-now player, ideally an older guy. You had a solid 2021/22 season, and had you not been beset by injuries you probably would have advanced from the play-in tournament to the first round of the playoffs.

Guest

7:38

These morons running the Knicks will trade out and sign Carmelo and think they’ll win. Idiots

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:39

Time will tell. Signing Carmelo to a minimum wouldn't be much of an issue, but they should certainly keep that lottery pick unless they can move up!

Crone Zone

7:39

If the blazers do end up drafting a player, could it be a decoy or smokescreen for leverage to trade right away?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:39

Possibly!

Lakes

7:39

Where do you think trades will happen at

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:39

Somewhere in the first round. This is pure speculation based on what I've been reading.

Craig

7:39

Do you think Jalen hardy is a good fit for the sixers

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:40

Definitely! He was a possible top-five draft pick before the season, and is considered a good scorer.

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:41

Mathurin to the Pacers! How are we feeling about this?

Guest

7:43

Picks going fast tonight

Kasey

7:43

With all the talk and rumors about a lot of trades happening, we have yet to see a trade in the top 10 so far. Where do you see the first trade happening?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:44

By the end of the first round we're going to get at least one trade. Again, this is just a prediction based on what I've been reading online, I have no inside info.

Dylan

7:44

If you’re the hornets, do you prefer to trade for a veteran big or draft one of the two centers available at 13 or 15?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:44

Draft one of these centers! A good one should still available.

Randy

7:44

Does jazz make a trade today

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:45

I don't think they'll make a trade today, but I think Danny Ainge will make some deals during the offseason in general.

Morey or Less

7:45

Mathurin and Halliburton - lot of potential in that combo

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:45

The Pacers could be a fun League Pass team!

Dylan

7:45

Will the hornets keep both 13 and 15? Or will they trade one of them for a veteran big?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:46

They can draft a high-upside big with one of those picks. I think they SHOULD keep both (or use them to move into the top 10). Who knows what they'll actually do though...

Jake Layman

7:46

Are the Celtics aware they fluked a Finals appearance? Nets without two starters, then Bucks without Celtics-killer Middleton, and then Herro-hurt-Heat. Celtics should make a blockbuster move, nobody wants to see Brown's selfishness and Smart's horrible shooting. Will wait for hours for pick 53, which will be used on someone who never plays a game.

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:47

The Celtics had a little injury luck, but that happens in every NBA playoffs. They're a young, talented team, with a few issues that they are aware of and could certainly look to amend in the offseason. I think trades and free agency are going to be their best resources, not a late second-round pick.

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:48

Shaedon Sharpe to Portland! He wound up red-shirting his collegiate season at Kentucky. High upside.

The Critic

7:48

Do you think the Warriors keep or trade their first round pick at 28?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:49

Given their luxury tax bill, they may want to trade into the second round and grab a draft-and-stash guy, or just trade for a pick in a future draft.

Clarence

7:49

Mathurin is a bust, this years Anthony Bennett

Victor

7:49

I really like Eason to me seems a little like Zion , how come some mocks don’t have him in first round ?
