"has immense talent that makes to seem easy anything he does on the court"

 

[PBY]

I gotta say...I'm tired of the league helping the Heat out too.

SOUTH BITCH


RILEY BE WITH YOU


DONT EVEN LIKE THE PICK BUT LEBRON DOES

 

[Dreams-Visions]

lol yes!

 

[bigosc2k]

What does Pat have on Jordan for a trade like that to happen?

 

[Siegcram]

Perfect.

 

[Mothman91]

LMAO @ the Zach LaVine "fuck me" hahahaha

bwahahahah

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Grizz, by all indications, took Jordan Adams to keep him. Two prime Raps targets (Gary Harris & Tyler Ennis) were gone before No. 22, so ... ESPNSteinLine

Raptors got so screwed this draft. LOL

 

[Bowser]

People high on Napier, I don't think he's really gonna be all that great in the league. UNC homerism coming out here but I think Hairston definitely has more superstar potential than Napier. If we took Hairston at 24 the Heat were just gonna take Napier at 26 anyway, at least we got a lil somethin' somethin' outta it.

 

[Byakuya769]

MJ got two picks that will amount to nothing and gave the Heat exactly what they wanted.

Lmao

But he got a great shooter... and two scratch off cards to send to the d-league. Not bad for the Hornets. Napier under Kemba again wouldn't have worked.

 

[UnObtainium17]

if it wasnt for the Germany USA game this Napier trade would have won fuckery of the day

Stay mad, brah. And good thing we're still alive in WC.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

What does Pat have on Jordan for a trade like that to happen?

2 Championship rings.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

they could've called him up at any point last season

makes no sense

No, they couldn't.

They screwed themselves. I am only mad they didnt tank last year, now they have to tank and for what?

 

[Bowser]

False.

According to league rules, no NBA team can call up Hairston this season because he is eligible to enter the NBA draft this June.

Feel like we coulda used a shooter... we got an iso "clutch guy" guard.

oh well.

True.

MJ still should've trolled Miami though.

 

[zychi]

[darkside31337]

no he wasn't eligible to be called up. if you're eligible to enter the draft you can't be called up.

 

[eBay Huckster]

so now that the heat have drafted lebron's preferred backup PG he's guaranteed to reup in miami, right

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Feel like we coulda used a shooter... we got an iso "clutch guy" guard.

oh well.

He'll make plays. Something the LeBron hasn't had from a PG since...Mo Williams.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Grizz, by all indications, took Jordan Adams to keep him. Two prime Raps targets (Gary Harris & Tyler Ennis) were gone before No. 22, so ...thus leading to the trade not happening.

 

[GaimeGuy]

why

 

[Pimpwerx]

Pretty much. It worked for both teams. Those second round picks would've been traded anyway. PEACE.

 

[arts&crafts]

LOL WTF orlando you are crazy FUTURE First?!

 

[BadAss2961]

Was that a mouth kiss?

 

[BennyBlanco]

No, they couldn't.

Explain. D leaguers can get called up at any point if you have a roster spot.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Brian Windhorst ‏@WindhorstESPN 1m
Heat will trade No. 26, No. 55 and a future 2nd to the Hornets for Shabazz Napier

Nice. We're good at the point now.

Hope we can somehow score Gortat in free agency.

 

[Bowser]

Dude, it's been explained for you with links in multiple posts. If you're eligible for the draft you cannot be called up.

 

[neptunes]

so now that the heat have drafted lebron's preferred backup PG he's guaranteed to reup in miami, right

Would be funny if he still left, but yeah it seems like he's staying

Finals again next year? Not So Sure About that.

 

[Jonm1010]

I thought he was a shoe in for the Spurs if he fell to them.

Great pick up.


Phoenix is gonna be scary good in a couple years.

 

[Byakuya769]

Yep. Bron gets what Bron wants, basically.

Cause I would have been more than happy with PJ.

 

[HerbertFish]

LOL WTF orlando you are crazy FUTURE First?!

I'm sure it's crazy protected.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Melo is the other player Lebron wants to play with...

 

[alr1ght]

Lebron wanted Larry Hughes too.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

League source telling me no deal for Ennis to Toronto: "Phoenix wants him" ‏@michaelgrange

Oh Raptors.

 

[darkside31337]

Raptors were desperate to get Napier too. Maybe they should have just drafted a PG instead of Brazilian KD.

They can still trade for Jeremy Lin though.

 

[arts&crafts]

Oh Raptors.

lol I think this draft was just poorly played by Masai People always take people you want, its called back ups yo

 

[bone_and_sinew]

There's a lot of cheap shooters in free agency, guys like Meeks, Morrow, etc..

As story goes, Raps promised to take Brazilian project Caboclo w/No. 37 & that's why he skipped all workouts. Grabbed him at No. 20 instead

lol my god

I want Lance. I hope wade signs that pay cut to make this happen.

Bill Simmons in full clown mode now for the rest of the draft.

BS is full clown mode forever.

but......why? lol it makes no sense?

 

[Pimpwerx]

Not sure why people are assuming this is because LeBron wanted Napier. Pat only picked him because he fits a clear need, and has the traits Pat normally looks for in a player. If LeBron said he liked some 1 and done player, there's no chance Riley would pick him. I assume it's just a coincidence. Lots of mock drafts had him coming here too. PEACE.

[rando14]

Brazilian KD is the new captain

 

[knicks]

Aren't teams allowed to trade cash in trades or do they need special permission from the league?

Is there a limit to how much money a team can give to a team through a trade? Would the Lakers be able to trade Julius Randle and like $10 million for Love?
