A friendly suggestion is that if a pick leaks seconds before is officially done. Please use spoiler not everyone wants to know before is done.

We'll see if Knicks stick to this but latest signals out of MSG suggest they intend to keep Iman Shumpert as opposed to dealing him for pick

Were the Knicks seriously considering this?

Unless it was a Top 10 pick. I don't see the point.

Bucks fan here.

Please don't trade the 2nd pick. Take Parker if available...Consider trading Sanders if you can get a pick and/or a center to replace him...Henson and Knight are off the table...

As a Warriors fan, if Adam Silver goes up to the podium during Minnys pick and says "We have a trade" I will lose it.

Knight ain't worth holding onto. Besides Henson and Greek Freak, everyone on the Bucks should be on the table.

Looked so good for the Sixers getting Wiggins, then Embiid turned out to be injured. Then we pretty much offered the farm for the #1 pick but Cleveland appears to have rebuffed that offer. So now we're stuck either drafting an injured big man, a position we don't need, or players that do not offer value at where they'd be drafted.

Not expecting a fun night for Sixers fans.

I can't wait to see Cleveland actually do the right thing and take one of Wiggins or Parker, just so everyone can finally shut up about how the Cavs screwed up so badly last year.

And then, they'll trade Wiggins or Parker for peanuts. And I'll die a little inside.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but if the Cavs weren't interested in making a deal for the first pick, I'm not sure how we can fault Orlando for that. Besides, offering the moon for Parker/Wiggins would just lead to another shit season if it took giving away their few prospects just to get one of them.

If anything, I think they should just grab Embiid at #4, Elfrid Payton at #12 (or Ennis) and let Jameer walk.

We. . . don't have the best of luck with centers. But yeah, might as well. Maybe we can trade #12 for the Suns medical staff.

that's pretty arbitrary but i'd say picking shaq and howard is good luck with centers. you just have bad luck keeping them.

Woj says Austin Rivers and Ryan Anderson are on the trading block.
Stein is saying Brooklyn wants to buy a 1st round pick in the 20's.

It's about time "Sub Zero" got traded.

Cavs fans: Who are we picking? I want Bari. Thank god we didn't trade the pick for 3,10,32 and next year's 1st. If they included MCW then I'd do the deal but they didn't.

lol what? If Philly was willing to offer that, you take it, grab Embiid at 3, and laugh at the Sixers' stupidity.

Jabari's basically a poor man's Melo. Fatter, slower, not as gifted a scorer, and somehow an even worse defender.

I'm hoping for Wiggins. Someone's gotta play D, and I think he'll come around offensively. Plus he's explosive as hell. I don't think we need more ball dominance.

Don't fuck this up Cavs. :|

I can't be too upset if they don't take Wiggins, since they were projected at what, pick 10?
take Wiggins
