Durant's going to the Knicks.

Spoiler

When he's 40 and we offer him a max contract.

 

[spyder_ur]

Kurkmaz wont be seen for awhile. That buyout is a problem. Still, I think he can really shoot.

 

[Lionel Richie]

FURKAN KORKMAZ AND TIMOTHE LUWAWU IS THE BEST FUCKING NIGHT

OH MY GOD GUYS IM SO HAPPY

I'm happy for you man. I remember a long post you made a while ago about recent Euro guys that were early picks in the NBA and that made me watch a lot of Dragan vids and made me hyped for the pick. He didn't go to the C's, but the Zizic pick eases the pain.

 

[mjp2417]

Damian lillard stayed 4 didn't he?

Sort of. He still had a year of eligibility left because of a redshirt

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Skal, Diallo or hell even Murray dropping to 32 would make me so happy

 

[jrmanimal]

I'm satisfied with Murray, Juancho and Beasley. Can't wait to see what Tim Connelly will make with this roster, I expect a few trades before season start.

 

[msdstc]

Skal, Diallo or hell even Murray dropping to 32 would make me so happy

Skal ain't getting past 31

 

[Brinbe]

WHAT THE FUCK, MASAI. STUPID

Absolutely stupid

Masai, loving his African guys.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

Man. As a Magic fan, I'm kinda sad we lost Dipo but at the same time I really like Ibaka on this team

So... the MIN-PHI offer, as it turns out, was Nerlens Noel, Robert Covington, Timothe Luwawu and Furkan Korkmaz for Kris Dunn.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Here's the part where they start talking about "cautionary tales". Doesn't matter where these fucking guys are drafted they are still going to actually get PAID as opposed to playing for free, which is automatically the smarter decision. Brice Johnson stayed for years and he got drafted 25th. I'm sure that was worth giving up potentially 2 years of earnings.

 

[Amory]

I know I'm not a regular in NBA-gaf, but I have to vent somewhere. I hate Danny Ainge tonight. Hate him. I'm livid. That's really it.

You won't see Bilas bring up James Michael McAdoo, the cautionary tale for staying in school.

.............Can I scream again about what Minny has done tonight? I love Dunn, but motherfucker if they could get that haul or Jimmy Buckets, why the hell not

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I wanted Skal.


But erm okay

 

[Ninja Scooter]

.............Can I scream again about what Minny has done tonight? I love Dunn, but motherfucker if they could get that haul or Jimmy Buckets, why the hell not

Based on what the Bulls might have asked Boston for, there was no way they were getting Jimmy unless they threw in Wiggins with Lavine and the pick.

and that Philly haul isn't worth the 5th pick, not when you have the PG your team potentially needs sitting there for the taking.

 

[Jarate]

These picks just literally made Bryan Colangelo the most loved man in Philly

He just erased every doubt we might have had

 

[spyder_ur]

I dunno, Bilas is pretty rational about this stuff. He even mentioned that what if Skal went back,was even worse and got buried behind UKs new recruits.

There are no shooters left in the draft. Keep taking Bigs Ainge. Skal and Qi.

 

[Fjordson]

Hmm, why is Davis sliding.

This... this right here is a plan!

Skal.

As a wolves fan I dont believe the rumors of Lavine and Dunn for Butler.. they wanted Wiggins which means it was a dead deal. Bring on Dunn.. lets do this... let him beat out ricky and see what we can get for Rubio mid season. I know we are crazy young but damn it lets set up a decade of good basketball.

I would have taken Butler if the rumors are true but I just do not see it happening that way.

I know you're right, but still. Let me wallow in the fact we ain't get Buckets


Why are Skal and Davis sliding so damn much

 

[Gigglepoo]

Some sharp dressers getting drafted tonight.

Watch out. #sixers may trade 26th pick Furkan Corkmas from Turkey. Could go to #Rockets according to source. @FOX29philly


NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

unless we get beverely

 

[msdstc]

Yup and there goes skal.. worst draft ever. At least give me Zhou

 

[truly101]

Skal and Len on the same team. Yikes

 

[CreeperBlocks]

We could've got Skal.


WHAT IS MASAI DOING

NO NO NO GET THAT GARBAGE OUTTA HERE

 

[Jarate]

Skal for Kings means lol his career

 

[Gigglepoo]

Skal and Len on the same team. Yikes

Skal is a King.

 

[LionPride]

I'd like to mention that this is a cross racial comp by someone on this panel

 

[Ninja Scooter]

At least Skal will be getting paid to sit on the bench behind better players instead of doing it at Kentucky for free.

Cant wait for the Kings All Tall Lineup. Cousins will play the point.

Makes sense. The sixes drafting two first rounders who can't handle the ball and whose timeline is uncertain seems a little weird.

Why exactly are people acting like Skal is good?

Don't need people to handle the ball when you have Simmons + Saric on your team
