Alex Kirschenbaum

7:50

People seem to project him as a mid-first rounder out of the lottery. ESPN has him going to the Rockets at No. 17: https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/insider/story/_/id/34121058/2022-nba-...)

Bryan

7:50

We gonna see Nico Harrison get creative and trade back into the 1st round, or do Mavs just need vets to round out the roster?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:50

It would behoove them to get some Jalen Brunson insurance somewhere!

Clint

7:50

Celtics fluked, hahaha, haters gonna hate.

Kasey

7:50

Of the picks so far, what pick do you feel is the best fit for their team?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:50

I love Jaden Ivey for the Pistons.

Dame Lillard

7:51

So much for getting me Immediate help ......... Shaedon Sharpe ?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:51

It is a bit strange. He could be pretty great... but will you still be on the team when he is, Dame Dolla?

Morey or Less

7:51

Who do you think will be the biggest non-draftee name traded tonight?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:51

You mean a veteran? I say Collins! Again, this is a total guess. It just seems like Atlanta really wants to move him: https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2022/06/hawks-want-to-trade-john-collins-b...

Nige

7:52

Jaden ivey is a great pick for the pistons. Things about to become good in the Detroit with all of the cap space got after the Grant trade. They have chance to build a playoff contender.

Shai for MVP

7:52

will shaedon sharpe go to Portland or will they trade the pick

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:53

He is a bit of a project, and feels like an odd fit for a team that seems to want to contend with Lillard soon. There would certainly be interest from clubs who are more interested in rebuilding.

Bunk

7:53

As a Portland fan, I like this pick!

Poku

7:53

Does Chet’s selection mean that I am leaving OKC? There’s no way both of us could share the court against any decent team. What do they do?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:54

Your minutes are certainly going to get condensed. I do like that OKC is going all-in on some guys with very, very strange bodies.

Auburn Fan

7:54

The Rockets starters are looking young and strong right now.

Joe

7:54

Who will be available for the Lakers at 35?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:55

Center Jaylin Williams of Arkansas (NOT to be confused with Santa Clara shooting guard Jalen Williams) could be a fun pick.

Matt

7:55

Knicks still want Ivey do they have anything Pistions want it.

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:56

Per James Edwards III of The Athletic (a Pistons beat reporter), Detroit is going to keep the pick:

Sources: The Pistons are keeping Jaden Ivey despite several attempts from rival teams to acquire him.

Kyrie

7:56

How do I get myself to the Lakers? I want to play with Lebron.

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:57

Opt out of your deal and sign for the mid-level exception?

Morey or Less

7:57

Am I really going to age this team by going after vets like Gordon and Tucker? I'm not that short-sighted .... am I?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:57

I hope you at least don't try to sign BOTH of those guys, Daryl. Try adding a vet under 30.

John

7:58

Any Sixers' possibilities?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:58

I think the Sixers should keep their pick! Young cheap talent on a playoff contender is always welcome, and Philadelphia's front office usually knows how to pick 'em!

John

7:58

Johnny Davis to the Knicks?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:59

Looks like he's going to the Wiz:

Sources: Washington will select Johnny Davis at No. 10. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Sleeper Pick

7:59

Who will be the sleeper who slides in this draft? Who will get him?

Alex Kirschenbaum

7:59

Tari Eason is my sleeper pick! I say he goes to the Bulls.

Matt

7:59

Do any other Hawks get moved tonight or before next Tradedeadline?

Alex Kirschenbaum

8:00

It definitely feels like there will be big Hawks trades during this offseason at least! I thought Collins could be on the move tonight, but I feel like they would want a late-lottery pick at least.

Alex Kirschenbaum

8:01

Knicks up next!

Tom

8:02

What will the Celtics do?

Alex Kirschenbaum

8:02

The Celtics need to add a ball-handler who can contribute, basically a Derrick White upgrade. I think they'll address that with a trade or free agent. They'll pick the best talent left at No. 53 tonight.

Bryan

8:02

What’s the first pick you expect to get traded at this point?

Alex Kirschenbaum

8:02

Someone within the top 30!

MBzy

8:03

It was meant to be with Ivey to Detroit

Colin

8:03

Could you give a % chance the Hawks keep John Collins tonight? Also bonus points for telling me the Hawks get dejounte Murray somehow
