My guess in this scenario is they retain LaVine. One of 4 or 7 has to go to a defensive player like JJJ, Bamba or Mikal.

Yeah, because due to the Nuggets desperately wanting to avoid cap penalties, they've been exploring using the 14 to dump Faried.

That's a risky road to go down. I'd try to arrange Faried + #22 + Holiday to Memphis, Parsons + #4 + #14 to Bulls. Granted the Grizz would probably want the #14, but any scenario where the Bulls end up with #4, #7 and #14/22 is a home run in this draft.

Can't trade LaVine until after the draft and once he's eligible to be sign-and-traded.

So Trump, Bolton and most of Fox aren't allowed one either, right?

No, because I hate KU basketball.

It would be foolish to flip Covey. The only players people want to flip are vets or contracts nearing their end.

Coyotes are potential predators for Condors. Dylan Coyote is now his nickname.

I'd be down with that. Once Shields is hopefully traded, I can live with Rodon-Lopez-Covey-Giolito-Kopech

So the GOAT got swept?

Clearly the Sox messed up by not taking Covey at #13 over Sale.

At this point I'm pretty sure Ron is the reincarnated ghost of Fidel Castro.

As much as I love my alma mater, going with the Sox training staff would have been wiser.

I'm fine with a boom or bust guy after going with possibly the safest player in the draft, another relatively safe player, and a seemingly safe but projectable player.

I completely understand if the Sox pass on Wilcox, Rocker or De Sedas, but man those names are tempting as third rounders.

Really?

Yeah, this is up there with Storm Throne.

We got bamboozled.

Rocker because we need that side-by-side photo of him and Madrigal.

The competitive balance picks are the dumbest thing in the draft.

Actually, Madrigal will crouch right in front of the batter to get the fastest reads.

I'm in.

To be fair, the current Cavs are a mess because of LeGM. He got them to keep JR and TT. Now to be fair to LeBron, we know Jordan sucks as a GM.

It's Chisoxfn. Gage isn't real.

I'd try Faried first, hut if that doesn't work, take Anderson for future Houston picks.
