Do you think the Wizards will make a trade on draft day?

but I don’t think they will.

Probably will happen, but probably be much smaller than most hope for

to buy a pick at the very least. I’m not sure we’ll get a blockbuster trade such as McGee for Williams, but I think it’s likely we’ll buy a pick from Chicago.

Trade down and pick up klay Thompson Chris singleton and markeiff morris or atleast 2 of the 3

I think we’ll look into moving up from 6, but with Minny making outrageous demands and Utah wanting Brandon Knight, I don’t see us making it to the top 3. I think Toronto messes up our ability to move up because they’d select Knight at 5. So I think the order stays pretty much set in the top 5 with the only likely change is MInny trading Derrick Williams.

But I also see Kanter slipping to 6. Irving, Williams and Knight are top 3. I think Cavs and Raps go Valanciunas and Vesely. I think they’ll go in that order, but I can see them flip flopping as well. So the 3 Euros will go 4-6. I think Valanciuanas and Vesely make more sense for Cleveland and Toronto because they have “higher ceiling”, played competitive basketball, and better fit positions of need (if you’re targeting Vesely at SF).

On the other hand, we get the toughest guy with the higher floor. He fits our positional needs and place in the process of our rebuild better. We need someone to improve our culture and push our current players. Fortunately for us, upside wins again in the NBA draft and we have a 20 and 10+ guy fall to us.

Now as for moving up from 18, I’m really looking at the recent options we picked up and the QOs made as a reason why we might move up, possibly into the late lottery. It simply comes down to roster spots. We have 11 spots reserved for next year and 3 draft picks. I can see those picks being consolidated into 2. That would leave us with two open rosters spots to consider vet PGs and bigs, with one spot likely left open.

I think in the late lottery we can pick up a nice prospect that’s really not far behind top 5 prospects in this draft as far as talent goes. If we move up to the 11-15 range, we could be looking at a pool of Marcus Morris, Klay Thompson, Singleton, Biyombo, Burks, and maybe even Leonard. I’m sure that 18, 34, and cash will be able to move us back up into the lottery.
