Ainge trading that pick for Cousins + that other 7 foot guy

twin towers

 

[MetalFearSolid]

we finally did it

Sam Hinkie died for our sins

Good to be happy, but remember Bryan Colangelo could possibly mess this up.

 

[spyder_ur]

May the Buddy era begin.

Overall, the wolves have been in 20 lotteries in 26 non-expansion seasons (I may need to re-do the calculations since my numbers aren't adding up with the # of playoff appearances they've had...). Not once have they moved up. They've dropped down in 10 of those 20 lotteries, by a total of 16 spots.

Barring Injury Towns will soon elevate to a top 10 player for a decade. Last time the Celtics beat the odds the player rode the white horse to his death...and never played a game for them.

May the Buddy era begin.

Zero percent chance he takes Buddy with the 3rd pick.

 

[Jarate]

Celtics gonna draft Bender

 

[spyder_ur]

Zero percent chance he takes Buddy with the 3rd pick.

Why do you say that? Who do you like at 3? I prefer Hield over Murray and definitely Dunn. I don't know enough about Bender.

 

[unknownstranger]

wonder how pissed Ben Simmons must look

One of 2 things will happen:

A) Sixers draft Ingram.

or

B) Sixers and Lakers do a halfassed trade and Simmons is picked 1st

 

[jbug617]

Ainge is saying he is taking bpa if they keep the pick.

 

[jmizzal]

Dikembe tha god.

lol just saw the tweet haha, but they said that lady was the only person who knew

 

[Bread]

Murray is gonna be dope, I'll take him.

 

[jbug617]

Do you think Philly would trade Okafor for #3?

 

[Tom Penny]

Why do you say that? Who do you like at 3? I prefer Hield over Murray and definitely Dunn. I don't know enough about Bender.

I've seen a lot of Dunn. He has NBA game. Hield can shoot. No doubt about it. You might wind up with JJ Redick with you're 3rd pick though. That isn't enough upside IMO

Raptors can't get anything from role players.

EDIT: WRONG THREAD.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Me when the lakers kept their pick. Ingram or Simmons let's gooooooo!

Now that I think about it Brad might be crazy enough to go ultra small with Smart at the 3 if they draft Hield..or he really would I should say.

 

[bonesmccoy]

So... Who's looking good at 9th?

 

[Jarate]

So... Who's looking good at 9th?

nobody knows who's gonna be picked at 3, let alone 9th

I really like Henry Ellenson, he might be available

 

[Randolph Freelander]

So... Who's looking good at 9th?

Marshall Plumlee

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Getting the 2nd pick in a two man draft is alright by me.

 

[nillah]

Chances Lakers trade their pick?

 

[Tom Penny]

Draft was literally in exact order...rigged.

Chances Lakers trade their pick?

Low now. Had it been 3 I think the chances would be higher, but either way for who? Paul George isn't available. It would probably take more than a pick to get DMC out of Sactown, and I would rather keep the 2nd anyway. Docs not trading Blake across town. For the Lakers to sell trading a top 2 pick it would need to make a splash and I don't think that kind of guy is available. Just draft Ingram or Simmons. Luke is 38 years old let he and the team grow into something.

 

[Jarate]

C. Noel
PF: Okafor
SF: Embiid
SG: Saric
PG: Simmons

Who's ready for Tall Ball

 

[RedAssedApe]

can't wait for a Dantoni-D12 reunion in Houston

 

[Jack Remington]

Yeah, Lakers can't trade the pick. We're gonna run the league with home grown talent in a couple years.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Ingram's wingspan is insane, dude has the same body type as Giannis and KD.

Do you think Durant would be more or less willing to leave if OKC wins it all?

 

[Sandfox]

I see him being Giannis with shooting.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Do you think Durant would be more or less willing to leave if OKC wins it all?

The chances of he and Westbrook leaving are already small, if they win its probably zero.

 

[friskykillface]

Durant was 100% leaving had they lost to the Spurs, but now since they are winning and up 1 game against the "greatest NBA record" team right now he will sign a one year deal most likely

he will sign the max if they somehow win the title which is unlikely

Marshall Plumlee

lol smart decision to back out of the army, no offense but what the hell was he thinking joining the army, would have been a waste of height , glad hes going to the nba now
sorry uncle sam but you don't need him

Even then, trade Simmons/Ingram for Paul George? Fuck no.

 

[J2 Cool]

Its crazy the Sixers are going to add a #1 pick, and I still have no idea how they don't end up in the top 3 again next year.

 

[LyleLanley]

I flew 15 hours for this? Fuck everything.

Celtics already have the Swedish Larry Bird in Jonas Jerebko..

 

[LyleLanley]

Have we traded the pick for cousins yet?

In dream land would you take Butler cousins or George? I'd take George methinks.

George for sure.

 

[spyder_ur]

I'd take George, definitely, but I also think he's the least available.

 

[effzee]

Happy for the Sixers but I don't know much at all about the class coming out. Is there truly a game changing player at 1?
