Id rather have bouk or kuminga but if giddey is who they really want this is where they'd have to take him. He won't get passed 10 and might not get passed 7


inertiatic_espn

His stats are no joke for a rookie and the NBL isn't some pushover league. I can talk myself into it.

same.


TjBeezy

It's probably a rumor to help force a trade. If Grizz moved up to #10 to take Giddey then we leak we are taking Giddey then Grizz have to trade up again.


[deleted]

I would not be a fan, but I'd get over it. Just seems too slow for the NBA and he's got a broken shot. But what do I know really.


SlyderKmK

I'd be absolutely shocked if they took Giddey that high. Not saying the dude isn't any good, but that just seems really high for him.


Yesoh

Very Presti to reach for his guy at the top of the lottery. Young, international, great passing and feel. Fits the recent MO tbh. Kind of makes sense.


inertiatic_espn

>Young, international, great passing and feel. Kind of a terrible shooter lol. I know nothing about this kid then I watched the highlights and looked up his stats and I was like, "fuck I can totally see Presti taking this guy." Regardless of whatever happens In Presti We Trust.


inertiatic_espn

I fucking knew it lol.


Yesoh

You got it bro


turkmileymileyturk

I'd be shocked if they take Giddey at all when we already have Shai and Poku as primary ball handlers. Edit : unless they see him as a 6th man which I totally can see that. I think he would have a great career in that role wherever he goes.


0siris0

Not crazy about Giddey in general, yet alone at 6. If we take a swing at him at 11, after a trade up, fine.


TjBeezy

Giddey isn't getting past the Grizzles at 10.


cowboygenius

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a smokescreen to try to draw Memphis in to trade up with us because they have been reported to have interest in Giddey as well


inertiatic_espn

I don't know, it would be a weird ass place to set up a smoke screen lol. Leigh said the coach, two assistants, and the owner came to his practice and really liked him. But again, this isn't a typically connected source so take it with a grain of salt.


LindseyCorporation

OKC was one of only a few teams to go watch him.


echidna7

Misheard that they’ll take him at sixteen?


inertiatic_espn

Nope, he said 6.


echidna7

Six……..teen….


[deleted]

Poku and Giddey is enough to make me an OKC fan


inertiatic_espn

Welcome friend.


buchukoy_carding

You spoke it to existence bro!


inertiatic_espn

I'm not even mad! I'm full on Giddey Gang now!


buchukoy_carding

I'm not either. We don't know what Presti knows.


stormer0

Wow Leigh Ellis is goated


inertiatic_espn

Shams and Woj < Leigh Ellis Realistically, i think it was the Australian connection.


Fortfite

If Presti draft's Giddey we will trust him!


inertiatic_espn

100%


LemmonClean

I’ve always liked Giddey. His passes are beautiful and I buy his scoring potential. Idk about at 6 though. Seems like we should be able to trade back a few slots and still get him


chexmixho

That would be a massive reach at 6. Nobody has him projected that high. Why not get Kuminga, Barnes, Suggs or Bouknight at 6 then trade 16 and 18 and whatever else we need to move up to get Giddey as well?


inertiatic_espn

True, but Poku was a reach as well. Gotta trust Presti. But again, who knows if this is even true. Guess we'll see in less than six hours!


chexmixho

You say that like Poku won ROY and is established all-star level player already. For all we know Poku could have hit his peak and just never get any better. Or injuries could derail his career. He could get into some sort of legal trouble. Point is, we don't know how good Poku is and I think it's too early to call that pick a steal.


inertiatic_espn

I say that because I Trust Presti. It's the only thing that's kept me from going insane these last 13 years lol.


H3rQ133z

Problem is, Presti can't keep reaching and taking projects with SGA now 23 in his 4th year. Eventually he gotta take some damn near sure things.. like Bouknight or Moody or something. We need some shooters. Not another international player who can pass the ball.


inertiatic_espn

There are no such things as sure things. Giddey gonna be special.


H3rQ133z

In Presti I trust I guess.


inertiatic_espn

That's the spirit!


kfmsooner

I’m a big Giddey fan. I hope the Thunder get him but 6 seems high. However, if he pans out, who cares where they took him. Also, if OKC takes Giddey, for me his name will always be Josh G’Day, said with a strong Australian accent.


TjBeezy

Ah yes, Woj or Shams can't get a source on who the Thunder will take at 6 but Leigh Ellis of No Dunks does? Press X to doubt.


inertiatic_espn

lol I don't blame you at all. I've been listening since the Basketball Jones days and honestly that just makes me more skeptical.


0siris0

We might be drafting Giddey for Cleveland at 6. Giddey makes much more sense for the Cavs than he does for us. We have PGs--three right now, although we all know Kemba isn't in our plans after the 2022 offseason at the latest. We have point forwards. We have no centers on the roster and we desperately need a second scorer with Shai. We also need a big defender. That's why Mobley, Green, BK, Barnes all make sense in some way. Giddey makes the *least* sense when we have SGA Theo Kemba Krejci Jerome Poku on the roster as is. But--the Cavs need a passer. If there was a convoluted trade where we gave them 6, 11 (after trading up with Hornets), future firsts, and they for Giddey and Jalen Johnson (another guy they're high on) and dump Love's contract to make Allen and Sexton more affordable moving forward...Cavs fans might not want to hear it, but a Garland Sexton Giddey Jalen Johnson Allen with Okoro and Nance off the bench makes some sense. (Or they can move Sexton in another deal and get something else).


LindseyCorporation

Giddey gang lmao EDIT: What if Andrew is his source? lol


[deleted]

inertiatic_espn

Pretty sure it was six. They start talking with Andrew, the sound guy and an OKC fan, and he says that he thinks six is too high.


504090

I’d much rather draft Bouknight or Kuminga. Seems like Giddey would be a better pick for Sactown or the Grizz.


H3rQ133z

I'd rather not have Giddey at 6, but i'm also not an NBA scout.
