    I'm hoping a star player is traded here in the off-season with that high draft pick. Someone who happens to play defense.

    Who? I.....just.......don't........know.

    NEWS FLASH!

    Every NBA team that currently doesn’t have a franchise centerpiece-worthy player is searching for a franchise centerpiece-worthy player.

    Doncic, Young, Morant and Tatum are the only young centerpieces in the league. Good luck Stone

    What about Rj Barrett? He’s a good wing player with length that makes him a nightmare against on the defensive side. Offensively he’s very sporadic. There’s a good chance Knicks maybe sellers during the off-season if they get rid of thibodeau

    He definitely has a lot of potential to be a centerpiece-level player, but currently no he's just a good starter.

    It’s not about individual upside it’s about team building. He can be a foundational piece on a team struggling with defense. We need to put the team on the right track to compete.

    All picked between 2 and 5. We got this as long as the lotto doesn’t do anything crazy to us.

    A #3 behind KPJ is a #6 on most other teams.

    I think you are watching Jaylen Brown a bit but I cant think of another player that mqy come free that has "franchise" potential.

    The good thing though is that we have a few years to build a nest for one.

    Brandon Ingram - he would compliment Sengun for years. A frontline of Sengun, Chet, and Ingram-

    surrounded by 2 all stars and veteran pg/ nba champion , better coaching staff. That kind of helps.

    green surrounded by Wood, Gordon and crack head kpj. Worst coach of all time.

    Howard Beck said teams are bracing for trade demands from Zion, Lillard, and Mitchell

    I’m sorry, excuse me? Zion demanding a trade? My guy, you’ve barely played since being drafted. U show up to camp every year looking like Precious or Thor in Endgame.

    Lillard and Mitchell would be understandable…most people with any sort of star power ain’t trying to spend their whole career in a place like Utah

    Gordon Hayward seems more like the Utah type, and even he left

    IF Donovan Mitchell demands a trade Rockets better be front and center with the bag.
