Wasn't LMA originally suppose to be on the Bulls?

Technically he was.

 

[Brinbe]

heh

further proof that Ujiri wants to move Lowry.

 

[Future PhaZe]

God

If we somehow land Noel....

So much drinking tonight

 

[Bowser]

heh

Hornets? What? Does he mean Pelicans?

If McLemore is there at 4, I'd like for the Cats to get a second round pick or something in return for moving back to 7 and taking either Bennett or Zeller there.

 

[Cheddahz]

Technically he was.

And then got traded for Tyrus Thomas!

Cody Zeller‏@CodyZeller19m
I was going to shave to get ready for tonight, but then I remembered that I don't have the ability to grow facial hair #draftdreams

welp

guess you've got your man knux

Magic are going to wish they took C.J over Oladipo and McLemore

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Yo, any of you guys looking forward to the reveal of EQ Next?

When is it taking place?

 

[StickSoldier]

When is it taking place?

August 1 or 2nd, can't remember. I'm fuckin stoked, it'd be awesome for EQ to be relevant again.

Celtics, Nets deal has reached ownership level, league source tells Y! Jason Terry joins Pierce and Garnett in package, source says.

I can't believe this is actually going to happen.

WAIT....IT"S GOING TO HAPPEN?!?!? THE CELTICS ARE GOING TO REGRET THIS TRADE BADLY!

@JerryZgoda
A prediction based on nothing but a hunch about tonight: Wolves trade 9, 26 and Derrick to Suns for 5 and 30, then take Ben McLemore

I just threw up in my mouth.

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

This trade really doesn't make any sense unless the Celtics are getting a bunch of unprotected future draft picks. Rondo-Bradley-Crash-Green-Humphries would be just about the worst starting lineup in the league so at least they have built a great tank but they're getting no value out of KG or Pierce.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

lol @ Pierce and KG retiring as Nets

According to Yahoo, they are getting three first round picks as well

 

[Dominican Power]

lol @ Pierce and KG retiring as Nets

Stranger than Nash retiring as a Laker?

 

[charsace]

Not sure why he came up on mocks, Knicks want a PG or size in the frontcourt.

Dieng, Bullock, Rice Jr. is pretty much the order, all 3 guys can contribute right away and potentially start. Wouldn't be surprised to see Knicks trade the pick for multiple 2nd rounders also (hi Cavs!)

The Knicks better take a bigman in the first and then get a pg in the second. We don't need a sf.

I really don't understand how Steven Adams isn't going in the top 7. The kid is gonna be a stud center.

 

[Bread]

oh shit we're gonna get reggie evans back!? trade saved, season saved, celtics gon win it all.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I always thought Pierce at least would go out in Green, but I guess Danny don't care.

 

[Colasante]

Woj says, "The Nets would send back Reggie Evans, sign-and-trade for Keith Bogans and one more minimum level player as part of package, source says."

Is that it- or is that in addition to Humphries, Wallace, etc.? Are the three 1st round picks included still? I'm confused.

And the package just keeps getting better and better!

 

[Branduil]

Can someone explain what Boston gets out of taking all of the Nets' garbage contracts?

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I hope Boston gets no pick s or trash picks...not happening but it'd be funny if it was a straight up salary dump.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Tank and 1st rounders with Wiggins around the corner.

Probably the right move.

 

[charsace]

The Knicks need to get one of Nate Wolters or Myck Kabongo in this draft. Bothare better pg's than MCW.

 

[Pimpwerx]

So, HeatGAF. All we have to look forward to tonight is which guys fall out of the draft. Also, seems Justin Hamilton's hamstring might be injured, so he's questionable to play at Summer League. I assume he's spending another year, if not forever, overseas. PEACE.

 

[Fox318]

Wait are the nets just trading Reggie Evans for all of that?

 

[Bread]

they're obviously still getting the 3 draft picks, not sure why people are acting like those were taken out of the deal.

if they aren't unprotected though...

smh no
those last 2 tweets are the additions to the package
pierce,kg,terry for humphries, wallace, evans, bogans, min player, and 3 1sts.

god dammit i hate gerald wallace already

 

[Future PhaZe]

Chris Broussard‏@Chris_Broussard48s
latest draft scuttlebutt I'm hearing: Cavs still looking to move top pick. If they take anyone but Alex Len, it could be part of a trade...

Congrats Cavs age

You're going to take Noel

Cap flexibility and they take back some hard workers. Oh yeah, and they build a more reliable tank for next year. PEACE.

Lolol holy shit, 3x 1st round picks. This might end up decently for Boston if they play their cards right.

 

[linsivvi]

Meeks off the bench with Duhon and Blake



Jesus...

Our depth chart is trashier than usual too. Kobe won't be back for a bit:

Nash/Blake
Meeks/Duhon
Metta
Pau
Hill

Bring on Wiggins.

I really, really hope Dwight skips town. Yes, Lakers fans don't like you, Dwight. Now go away.

Only Nash will be under contract next summer, by that time he'll probably retire. Can you imagine the possibilities? Zero player under contract and a top draft pick.

Also, ultimate punishment for Nash and Antoni to suffer the tankiest of tank season before they disappear from the NBA.

 

[StickSoldier]

Yo, this draft could turn out to be exciting! This is the most fun I've had reading draft stuff since I can remember, you know, because the Mavs haven't had a high pick in years.

 

[thekad]

The man is a treasure and I hope he works forever.

He helped facilitate the Sprewell to Minnesota deal.

It really only makes sense if it's three unprotected lottery picks.

 

[Eleuin]

I'd take that trade if we could dump at least one bad contract.

Bledsoe would help with the tank and we could've had olynyk

 

[darkside31337]

The Celtics wouldn't have to take back any bad deals though. It'd just be a straight salary dump.

I'd imagine theres only some second round picks involved.

It's really hard for them to trade KG since he has a no trade clause. I'd imaging going with Pierce to another team is one of the few ways to get him to waive it.

 

[Brinbe]

Multiple Sources tweeted out

Also hearing that Toronto is looking to grab the No. 2 pick. Not sure who they're targeting, but Oladipo is an educated guess....

 

[Colasante]

The three first round picks the Celtics would be receiving are in 2014, 2016, and 2018. 2014 is exciting, but don't the Hawks have the rights to it if they want?

 

[SoulPlaya]

The Nets are about to get KG + Pierce for scraps, and yet, the Bulls can't move Deng?
