NBA Draft Thread

I just noticed a bunch of kids still in the green room waiting for their names to be called. Money drops significantly after the lottery section and contracts are not guaranteed in the second round.

Poku was one of the greatest tank commanders of all time. I remember seeing him go 3-18 in some big games down the stretch securing the Ls OKC needed to... Draft a more skilled skeletal twin.

This draft is garbage

Wouldn’t be surprised if this Jovic player turns out to be the best player of the draft.

I just like the idea in my head of Riley screaming at this guys going
"I SAID GET JOKIC! JOKIC! NOT JOVIC"

i like sochan for my spurs. this development squad can give any player a solid jump shot and that’s sochan’s only weakness really. he can pass, defend, and rebound like a thinner draymond. has a cool, funky personality.

i don’t think there was a ton of talent at the 9th pick, so a versatile glue guy is a great pick for the spurs. hopefully keldon moves over to the 3 and primo gets more minutes this year. would be open to trading lonnie and/or keldon as well.

I thought this draft was gonna be way more exciting. Either way, it still gets me excited for next year. Surprised by Orlando’s pick but as long as they didn’t go after Chet, they were making the right pick. Kings pick makes sense and definitely is a best case scenario for Detroit. Guess Bridges makes a lot of sense for Detroit now but I bet they really have to overpay.

I think what Memphis did was interesting. That roster is pretty deep and they clearly went after their guys. I still think they make another move to improve at center. We’ll see.

Knicks are insane. Batshit crazy.

11th overall for 3 almost-completely-protected first round picks. madness. rumor mill says they’re looking to move noel & burks in addition to the dump of walker. they got a taste of greatness, regressed some, and are now completely blowing up that 4-seed core. insane.

Well, I mean, they want to steal the Brunson Burner from my Mavs by probably offering him an obscene amount of money. More than he's worth. I understand Brunson had a breakout year but for most of his career he has averaged about 12ppg. Knicks probably going to offer him $150 million to come play.

Stephen A. was funny as usual on the Knicks moves last night.

Mavs didn't even have a draft pick but managed to pick up Jaden Hardy 37th by offering the Kings two 2nd Round picks, one in 2025, one in 2028. Not sure how Hardy slid that far but ok.

yeah they definitely want brunson but they also have to pay robinson. i’m not sure how they afford both unless there’s some loophole im unaware of. maybe bird rights on robinson?

lmao @ whoever runs the knicks if they try to max out brunson. no wonder they've always been shit.

Someone is going to offer Brunson $100 million plus. I wouldn't be surprised to see $150
