Whiteside to the Blazers? That would be a scary team.

 

[Brinbe]

FUCK YES, SKAL @ 9. Masai making the right choice.

 

[ViciousDS]

The more I read the more I come to the grips that we have a very high chance of having Butler gone from the Bulls tonight and I'm going to be really depressed that would become a rebuild team in a matter of 2 days

 

[Bread]

Trades always happen.

proof?

i'm with tp on this one

 

[Face it Tiger..]

FUCK YES, SKAL @ 9. Masai making the right choice.

Chill out.. it's only a rumor, ain't like it was a wojbomb.

 

[Fjordson]

Hmmm

 

[Gigglepoo]

Trades always happen.

The Pacers were already involved in two draft trades. There is a chance that there won't be any during the draft (though I'd still guess at least a few go down).

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Mavs and Whiteside announcing this early meeting to apply pressure on Don Riley before he even gets in the room with KD. I don't like it.

 

[Tom Penny]

FUCK YES, SKAL @ 9. Masai making the right choice.

Kings usually draft scrubs so he fits the bill.

Past history. We already have traded going on and even buying picks is considered a trade.

Woj updated his mock to reflect it as did ESPN and Draftexpress.

He's talking about the Raptors lol.

Just caught that...my point stands. Skal is a scrub.

KD is interested in creating an app that alerts you when you are choking.

 

[Kickz]

Anyone want to hit up my Twolves for just the 5 pick, we are available.

Looking at you Chicago/Philly

I'll trade you Nik Stauskas and a bag of Pizza Rolls for #5

Lol you want Jimmy b to be reunited with thibs so bad lol

 

[Lambtron]

Hmmm

Wants to chip before the Wolves are at full strength, I see.

Like, I'm into the idea of Butler. But there's almost no chance in hell GarPax helps Thibs.

 

[pislit]

What would my Bucks do this draft / offseason? Draft an athletic non-shooter? Get an athletic non-shooter? uhhuuhuhuh

 

[Kevtones]

Whiteside to the Blazers? That would be a scary team.

Is something coming? Where are you reading this?

 

[BadAss2961]

Reinsdorf to GarPax - Just fuck my shit up, fam.

The name of the app it's MeekKD.

 

[darkwing-buck]

You guys think the Celtics are actually gonna get a deal done today with trading their pick?

 

[Gully State]

Hmmm

He's staying in OKC...you know it, I know it...stop falling for sport sites fishing for hits.

 

[Chase17]

You guys think the Celtics are actually gonna get a deal done today with trading their pick?

I think we are going to end up keeping the pick. Just a gut feeling. Would prefer to trade it for Noel though.

 

[thehypocrite]

I think this is the best time to trade picks. You lose leverage by instead of having assets you become a compulsive hoarder with no place to display your assets in a way they can increase their value.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Whiteside to the Blazers? That would be a scary team.

God I do hope we get him...that's my wet dream scenario lol

 

[bionic77]

Hmmm

We have the finest ho's in all of the land in LA KD if you want to expand your horizons. And our team is certainly going to improve while GS has peaked and is going to get worse every year from now on. Silicon Vally is distinctly lacking in fine ass ho's and is instead overrun by fat rich nerds.

Follow your heart KD.

 

[jordan0386]

lol, NIke just gave you $300m and you talking about advantages beyond basketball.

Boy, if you don't get your ass in this house right now...

 

[LyleLanley]

Celtics are definitely not taking The Dragan according to Twitter.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Oh shit, the draft is tonight? Cavs don't have any picks, huh? >_>

 

[Tom Penny]

One guy off my do not want list..hopefully Brown next...

 

[darkwing-buck]

Haven't watched much college ball but what are the cons of Buddy Hield? His stats this year look crazy.

FG .501% 3P .457% FT .880% APG 5.7 SPG 2.0 PPG 25.0

FG .501 3P .457 FT .880 APG 5.7 SPG 2.0 PPG 25.0

He's older then most prospects, might have issues with defense and creating his own shot in the NBA

Age, not a play maker, can he create his own shot?

There will absolutely be trades during the draft. Several. The last mock I saw today had 5 players I viewed as first round talents going in round 2. Picks 1-5 are legit but after 6 or 7 this year? The gap between late lottery and second round is so small. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, either. I still think the Pacers will have a chance to draft a good player, though I doubt they get the guy I want (Bembry). When GMs see a guy they like but had some reservation about (height, potential injury concern) start sliding to where it won't get him fired if the guy doesn't pan out, the trades will start pouring in.

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.

Turner is a good shot blocker with the potential to be a great shot blocker. Young is not awful defensively, he just is not a rim protector at all. He switches well and can guard stretch bigs out to the perimeter. David West was an absolutely horrid defensive player but they hid him. Granted it was with Hibbert and a defensive philosophy, but Bird is more worried about points. Not too many teams have rim protectors right now anyway.

I'm still holding out hope that this is another smokescreen and we actually do take The Dragan.

Celts should do it just fr that name alone tbh

 

[LyleLanley]

I've been saying this since I knew there was a guy named Dragan Bender.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Would be better if they drafted The Dangan instead.

No.

GS CEO is clownshoes. Pringles going to punch him in the face.

We drove this idea of small ball, and it’s a different style of play,” he said. “Having said that, I think it’s important to know that whenever everyone else starts doing things, it’s time to start doing what’s next. We’re on to the next idea — How can we iterate to evolve to get an advantage? I can assure you we’re very forward thinking in that regard.”

and previously

“We're light-years ahead of probably every other team in structure"

interesting

Hmmm

Well if this actually is the case, Raptors have Silicon Valley north in Waterloo.

pls KD

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Hield is older than Nerlens Noel. Hard to evaluate someone when the competition is three years younger. Its also why I wouldn't take Dunn in the top 5.

 

[jbug617]

Who is everybody trying to get at 8?

Sacramento has offers with multiple future first-round picks at No. 8, league sources tell @TheVertical. Several teams trying to get there.

 

[LyleLanley]

Who is everybody trying to get at 8?

Murray, Hield, Chriss, Bender, or Brown.

 

[Cornbread78]

SportsHub 98.5 just said the same thing.. Thank You!!!

 

[Jarate]

Who is everybody trying to get at 8?

Dragan Bender, Henry Ellenson, Jakob Poetl, and Jaylen Brown may all be there

 

[Tom Penny]

Who is everybody trying to get at 8?

Cavs offering their next two 1st rounders...
