Just seeing if any offer is worth more than just Ivey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I really didn't watch the NFL Draft that closely after the Lions traded up for Jameson but IIRC they actually didn't focus too much on the players still left in the green room like Malik Willis, Matt Corral and others. I wonder if they are going to be the same way for the NBA Draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hart Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 The Pistons could just be talking Mathurin up because they like Murray. I’d still guess Murray before Mathurin but confidence level is low. There were reports claiming the Lions would possibly pass on Hutch for Thibodeaux as the draft got really close. It’s not unheard of for teams to try and put out misdirection.

Betrayer Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I really hope those teams trading into #4 are after Murray. Give me Ivey, especially if we're going to blow our money on what I would call "good starters but not All-Stars" (Ayton, Sexton, Brunson) rather than acquiring picks and kicking the money to a better free agent season. We need that second guy next to Cade and Ivey has one of the highest ceilings in this draft. Does he reach it? Who knows. But if you're locking yourself into the 8 seed with Cade and Ayton, you need to take a swing on finding another star now rather committing yourself to the Drummond years of mediocrity again.

Just as a counter point also close to the team, Beard doesn't think they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinzaki Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I'm more sold on Murray or Mathurin than Ivey. There's a certain amount of positional flexibility with them...with his wingspan, Murray could potentially give you minutes at 3,4, or 5. Mathurin could play off Cade as a guard or a wing. Ivey seems locked into being a guard and his shot is a bit more questionable than the other two. Be nice to take Hayward and 13 off of Charlotte's hands...be in a position to draft a rim protector like Williams from Duke or frontcourt help like Socha or Griffin. Although Koloko at 36 might be the way to go for a interior defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
