Meh at this point in the draft I'd take a flyer on a guy like Skal. It's not like you are passing up all stars in a draft like this.

I think they'll try but money talks. Unless Baze takes a slight discount.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
He had a completely unremarkable year. I still think he could be a sleeper.. I know guys can get left out of the stat line easy at Kentucky with all the talent.. but it was more the eye test.. he looked lost out there and just not up to the task.
I didn't here Coach Cal talk about him earlier today either.. not the same way he did about Murray.

Trading Ibaka is something they needed to do if KD was coming back. Did you guys not watch the WCF?!?! They weren't that long ago. This is hardly a sign that they are blowing it up.
Yep, mis-managed the Bulls to total irrelevancy. Thibs is gonna haunt us for years.
Brice Johnson, Stone would be much better for a team that was in the playoffs
The kings are dyslexic apparently.

LOL apparently the C's promised to take Papa John at 31.

Yeah Ibaka is hardly an integral piece to that team anymore. Steven Adams is clearly the third guy in OKC at least for some time now.
Ready for the Celtics to draft another shooter who cant shoot at 16

May the Schwartz be with you
Kings are still fucking dumb
Just move them to Seattle >
They may be shitty. But they will stay in Sacramento!

Wow. Kings should just get contracted at this point.
honestly we'll never hear from most of these guys in a year or two. pretty bad selection.

This is literally what people said about Tobias Harris.
Neither of them really are. Other NBA GMs are smart enough to figure that out unfortunately. Hennigan admitting his failures like this though just makes me wonder why the hell hes still here even more though.

Nah. They don't tend to pay the scrubs that they build up into decent players. Besides, they want every cent to try and pay Harford $20 million.

Ibaka is a guy who didn't fit in on their team and only has one year left on his contract, I know he's a "known" name, but I think people are really overestimating his value. Considering the circumstances the Thunder got a good haul for him.

I don't understand it at all. Ibaka is not the type of player who's going to get you out of the basement, you might as well stick with what you have and keep the rebuild going. This is just throwing away tradeable assets to tread water as the 9-12 seed.

This 100%. They played much better with Adams at C, and KD at PF. This doesn't solve a superior starting lineup but it gives us more pieces and options then an expensive Serge who seems to be regressing. Victor is significantly better then Waiters that we had to rely on heavily last season, and who knows how good Sabonis can turn out to be. Rookie contracts are nice that way that they aren't going to kill us like resigning Serge would.

Do the C's take Skal if he's there?

... They also got a guy with 1 year left on his deal before he gets paid and Illyasova. I do think Sabonis can be good but who knows.
Did I miss the meeting where Oladipo was some great player leading the Magic to the playoffs???
He can't shoot, doesn't play defense, has questionable handles and is injury prone.
He may replace Waiters for OKC and is good for a few highlight dunks a game but that's about it.
He started for the Magic since he was drafted and his shooting hasn't improved at all. He will get you 14 ppg on 14 attempts.
Magic tried to play him and Peyton this last year and it was obvious it wouldn't work since they are basically the same player except Peyton is younger and plays defense.
I'm honestly more disappointed the Magic traded Sabonis as well since I think he will turn out to be a solid pro.

Can they send Jalen Rose to Fox sports before the draft is over?
