There is nothing wrong with not wanting to know something before it happens on T.V. You trying to force it on people is beyond stupid. Seriously. YOURACTISOLD.

I'm not forcing shit on anyone. Don't read the damn thread. The fact is it's 2014, and the NBA draft broadcast has been consistently behind twitter for the last 5 or 6 years. That's an NBA problem, not twitter's. The times have changed. When news breaks, everyone is welcome to know. Dlsying it artificially, is dumb. This isn't a movie spoiler, its just who a damn team is picking, and we already have s strong idea of who a team will pick. What is gained by sticking your fingers in your ears and closing your eyes? That's all you're doing, because anyone who genuinely cares about this draft will be on twitter and the forum.

I got nothing to prove to you. Beside, what on earth am I hiding from? Was there something announced earlier that I should be worried about? No. PEACE.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Don't worry Jabari, you won't be on the Bucks for long.

He should promise them a title before he leaves like Kareem.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Yo

Gordan's sister can get it.

 

[gazele]

really hope the jazz don't take vonleh, it's funny how wrong all the mocks were

 

[JJDinomite]

I feel sorry for these top-5 picks. It's like they're punished for their hard work and talent.

 

[Isotope]

[

I'm gonna be seeing this gif for a long time.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Wow it's so obvious at what point he saw himself getting picked, he is legit pissed.

 

[HI. BILLY MAYS HERE]

Damn. My first choice to be a Laker. Kid is gonna be legit. Smart, competitive and an elite athlete. Dude's gonna be another Marion/Kawhi type.

White guys on the lakers never work out

 

[Mxrz]

Looking forward to the Magic's "Fuck it, take the ball" offense next season.

 

[darkside31337]

Well now its just waiting to see what PGs are on the board at 12.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I feel sorry for these top-5 picks. It's like they're punished for their hard work and talent.

They should do away with the draft and let teams scout and sign players at 16 and develop them on their own. Fuck this commie bullshit. THIS IS AMERICA!

 

[friskykillface]

Ainge still has time to fuck up

 

[zychi]

Does the media just forget about Anthony Davis when they spew this "Embiid is the best big man prospective we've seen since Oden" bullshit?

Yep. Sadly new orleans gets no press besides nbatv. One of the most fun teams to watch last season. Unibrow is my boy and one of my favorites to watch

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Wow it's so obvious at what point he saw himself getting picked, he is legit pissed.

It's due to the satellite feed. He smiled when he was picked.

 

[msdstc]

Loving Loving the "fireworks" ainge.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It's due to the satellite feed. He smiled when he was picked.

Didn't seem to be any satellite delays when they were interviewing him.

Just sayin'.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

A 6'8 tweener at number 4 huh?

OK Orlando

 

[gazele]

White guys on the lakers never work out

uh, he's half-black

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Ainge still has time to fuck up

Still plotting that trade for Love! I liked the rumored Boston offers for him the most probably .

 

[friskykillface]

It's due to the satellite feed. He smiled when he was picked.

"Embid , smile and we will blame it on satellite feed"

 

[jbug617]

I don't know what Danny is going to do. I really thought Gordon would be there.

 

[SoulClap]

Not sure what the Magic are thinking with that pick.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

Well, they just got a lot more fun.

I started following the Magic when I moved to Orlando back in 07, right around the time the team was peaking. These last two years have been awful to watch. We're starting to get some pieces though, and will have a ton of cap space in the future.

 

[Bowser]

Magic just took the 6'8" MKG.

I should know, my team took MKG over Bradley Beal

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

It's due to the satellite feed. He smiled when he was picked.

I thought so too but look at his mom(?) looking at him to see his reaction, seems like that was the point he saw it.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Yep. Sadly new orleans gets no press besides nbatv. One of the most fun teams to watch last season. Unibrow is my boy and one of my favorites to watch

They're bad. In the next year or two, they'll be on TV every week.

 

[Jonm1010]

Well Bill Simmons does seem to hate the Pelicans, but yeah it seems like this group has completely forgotten about Davis.

Maybe they meant pure Center but they haven't said that.

Even without Embiid's injuries I would keep Davis over Embiid 10 times out of 10.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

A 6'8 tweener at number 4 huh?

OK Orlando

"tweener" only applies to guys who aren't great athletes these days. Gordon has a ton of versatility because of his athleticism. Look at the landscape of the NBA these days. The guys who are great can play and guard multiple positions.

 

[Cloudy]

I hope the Lakers scrubs are happy. Their bullshit wins at the end cost us Exum

 

[Pro]

I feel sorry for these top-5 picks. It's like they're punished for their hard work and talent.

So a career making millions upon millions of dollars is a punishment? You feel sorry for them? I'd say their hard work paid off exponentially.

Where does Dante Exum go now? He refused to work out for Utah and did not want to get picked there because of "their market" and Trey Burke.

lolololol

 

[jakefromstatefarm]

That backcourt is a nightmare though, that's the only thing keeping me from watching more NOP games.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Well the five best guys are gone. Shit about to drop off a cliff. Please Ainge take Vonleh.

 

[Reave]

So, did Orlando blow it with that pick?

 

[SocksAndShoes]

I thought so too but look at his mom(?) looking at him to see his reaction, seems like that was the point he saw it.

I dunno, she literally could have said anything and looked at him. Even if he's going to Philly, the young man just made a lot of money. I can't imagine he would be that sad.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Well Bill Simmons does seem to hate the Pelicans, but yeah it seems like this group has completely forgotten about Davis.

Maybe they meant pure Center but they haven't said that.

Gotta be center. Everyone (smart) acknowledges that Davis is going to be incredible.

 

[Siegcram]

Exum's highlight reels are hilarious.

LOL

 

[OJdaKiller]

Time for a Bucks trade.

Knight or Sanders for a pick and grab Smart...Throw in a 2nd rounder if need be.

:lol even as a UK fan, I'd tell you MKG shouldn't have went #2. He probably even should have came back for a second year, to be honest.

 

[Cloudy]

Please trade the pick Lakers. Randle is a guaranteed BUST

 

[Pharaoh 117]

I hope the Lakers scrubs are happy. Their bullshit wins at the end cost us Exum

The Lakers suck even at tanking.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Fucking Swaggy P and the boys ruined our chances.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

C'mon Mitch Zack LaVine outta nowhere! DO IT!

Talk about awkward.

C's taking

Spoiler

Smart.

 

[Pimpwerx]

I didn't know Exum was British. I really know nothing about college hoops. He's looking sharp. PEACE.

 

[HI. BILLY MAYS HERE]

We need a center

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Oh shit exum's dad is Larry Holmes!
