I am going to provide everyone with a Trumpian-type spin so that even if we get #4, it is still a win for us.
The starting salary for #1 is $5.85M, for #4, $4.24M ($1.61M savings). Fultz may be the best player but who really knows. Jackson or Tatum could be gotten at #4 and end up being the best player from the draft. No one has any idea when drafting 18-19 year old kids to play in the NBA. We are probably better off with #4, right CoachBo? Since Danny can't draft anyway, we might as well let the other GMs swing and miss and we can just grab whoever is left at #4 and save $1.6M.
Truthfully, having #1 will be way more fun but I am really not that worried about it as I don't believe anyone can know for sure who is the best in this draft. #1 does have more tangible trade value though but I have a feeling we won't be trading it or the player we draft, at least not right away.
Oh man, I was hoping for #4. Can't believe we got #1.
