Uhh no, it's in like 3 hours. I'm not sure if the first pick is made at 7:30 or 8 (if anyone knows for sure this would be helpful since I'm headed somewhere). Coverage starts at 7 EST.

Indiana just fleeced the Nets.
Thaddeus Young for the #20th pick is a steal.

Man Hawks should've gave the Nets the 21st and a 2nd for Thad if that was all it took.

Mavs beat writers are already predicting that FA is going to be another disaster. FO is one big.

Ninja on a scale from 1-10.. How pissed would you be?
If you look at the second tweet from Stats person you would see just how trustworthy they are lol.
Vogel is overrated. He's a good defensive coach, that's about it. He cost them the Raptors series w/ the same 3 play/fuckball + egg timer substitution shit he's been doing his entire career as a head coach. Lol @ suggesting they will miss the playoffs.
Young is obviously the PF, Lowe has to be on strong drugs to say otherwise. Young is solid. He's not a star player and he's only ever been on bad teams, but he's a clear upgrade at the PF spot and we got him for... the 20th pick in a draft everybody is trying to get out of. Insane value.
More moves to come from Bird.

I've never heard of any of these accounts. I wouldn't trust them.

I mean, I'd be upset, I'd rather build around a young, cost controlled core than a guy on a big (But still reasonable) contract who might be past his prime by the time the Lakers are good again. Butler is good but it's just a panic move for this organization that shouldn't be making panic moves. We have a 38 year old coach, and a young ass core, let them develop together. You're not going to build a contender overnight. You don't have to win 50 games to have an entertaining team that fans will come out to watch. The TWolves were the darlings of the league as far as having a young, fun team and nobody mentions how they won 26 games last year.
I'm shocked more teams wouldn't have jumped at that. Raptors for 23 and something else? I would have loved the Celts to trade 16 and let Sully walk. Denver for 15 or 19? Charlotte for 22 and change?
That being said, this shows that teams don't hate the draft as much as most thought - they think there's some value in the middle. Portland and Lakers supposedly trying to get into that range too.
Should be on WatchESPN, but I think you need a cable subscription.

Lowe's thing is that while Young has skill he's very weak on D. Can't start him and Turner together or you'll get killed on the inside.

What could the Sixers possibly have that Minny would want?
Same stuff I presume as a backup to Boston talks: Okafor, Noel, Covington, Saric, future picks.
They were looking to trade away Rubio if someone would take on the Pekovic salary. #8 + Pekovic for Robert Covington, Richaun Holmes, Jerami Grant, pick in the 20's, etc etc...
Maybe they really like TJ McConnel

Not even the Kings are that stupid...probably.
The trade they did last year was one of the stupidest trades of all time
We're owed a first rounder from them in 2019, the year after Boogies contract is up
Carl Landry shot ridiculously last year when he was able to play, he's gonna have value at the trade deadline, and Nik Stauskas is the worst basketball player alive, but that was good, because it allowed us to get Simmons
We also have some pick swaps for them too. That trade was horrid for the Kings
Wait they are? I didn't see the news/rumor. in Olshey I trust. I think he will try hard to go for that Charlotte trade situation (for the salary dump of Hawes)
oh and Pacers absolutely killed it with the Thad Young trade gad damn

Kings are the dumbest org out there but they do know that Boogie is the franchise. They would want something like Wiggins, Rubio, and #5 for him.
I really hope the Pelicans make some noise. Anthony Davis needs to realize his potential! I think he's going to get eclipsed by KAT this year if the Pelicans continue with their crap campaign.
Damn straight! There's a reason the Pacers are one of the most consistent teams in East. Imagine having their success with only one Top 10 pick (PG13 at #10) in the last twenty years. Pretty ridiculous when you think about it.

Really- is that only one top 10 in 20 years thing true? Off the top of my head wasn't Jonathan Bender 5 or 6?
I love that trade for them though. They got a ton more athletic in 2 days.

Yeah truly impressive. I bet a lot of teams are facepalming for not reaching such a deal for Thad Young now..he has his issues but a very good player imho. Pacers are gonna be fun to see next season
Bender was drafted 5th overall by the Raptors. The Pacers traded Antonio Davis to get him.
Pacers Lottery Picks:
2015 #11 -- Myles Turner
2010 #10 -- Paul George
2009 #13 -- Tyler Hansborough
2008 #11 -- Jerryd Bayless
2002 #14 -- Fred Jones
1997 #12 -- Austin Croshere
1996 #10 -- Erick Dampier
Those are their only picks in the top 14 from the last 20 years. During that stretch, they've been to the playoffs 14 times, the ECF 6 times, and the Finals once. Has anyone in the league done more with less?

I hate the Pacers.
why do they luck out so well.
the only L they ever have taken is losing Kawhi..
EDIT: personally I think Hill for Teague is an L because teague is regressing but their fanbase seems to love it.

Ha! I've never heard anyone say that before. I'm glad you've been paying attention to their success!

The entire starting 5 on their D league roster could be draft picks... I don't think they can protect them all though, so they could be signed by anyone.
a truly frisky-esque trade idea
Dear God.....my bulls are going to fuck this roster up before the end of the night arebt they. Office going to blow everything up and then Gar/Pax quit after they just blow it up.
Well at least the pacers are going to be fun as hell to watch this year. To me that is a great starting 5.

Trades always happen.
