NBA Thread 2020-21 Season

[chugg21]

5 second glance at twitter blew the 2nd pick for me about 3 mins before it was announced. Theyre probably already at 4 or 5 on there now

PLEASE NO DAMN SPOILERS ON THIS THREAD,

Was going to follow the draft on a Raptors board, but too many man-children there dropping spoilers to kill the coverage.

 

[chugg21]

MJ taking a shot. No reason not to in that city.

 

[MikeSU02]

Good thing for Charlotte is that MJ will put the lid on any Lavar BS.

I'm not sure how you play LaMelo and Rozier (full transparency, I don't think LaMelo will be that good).

 

[Alsacs]

LaMelo Ball seems like the anti-Michael Jordan as a basketball player.

Don’t get how Jordan takes him when he knows how he played
Also now we can see Lavar play MJ in 1 On 1.

 

[Briancuse]

Someone check to see that Cuserunner is ok. His man is gone.

 

[jncuse]

No surprises at all in the top 3... except perhaps order.
Sort of expected Golden St to trade the #2, but that can still come later.

Rozier and Graham aren't the kind of guys that you're passing up guys for.

I want to see the 1 on 1 matchup between the two. Put up or shut up lavar.

Wow Patrick Williams at 4. Guy didn’t average double figures in college.

 

[jncuse]

Wow, that's a stunner.
He moved up the boards rapidly the past few months -- similar to Dion Waiters, who we had heard was moving up but then was still surprising to see he ended up #4.

I'm here. I knew Trading that far up for Lamelo was a long shot. That being said I was hoping LaMelo would have been a guy to dictate where he wanted to go and maybe stirred his way to New York or a bigger Market. It amazes me why more big time guys don't do this.

For a 20% something 3 pt shooter with a broken jumper? Eh...…...

Truly ridiculous pick but gotta trust the new regime. No one drafted better than Denver.

 

[jordville]

And there it is at #4. Bulls insiders have been saying Patrick Williams for the last couple days. Wasn't sure if it wa a smokescreen or not. Like the player. Thought he could be had via trade back.

 

[jncuse]

I like it for both teams.
Sixers can use cap space in future.
Thunder have to pay somebody to meet salary floor, get a good leader, and likely at least of these teams (Lakers, Rockets, Sixers) will be struggling in the mid 2020's.

Because the Knicks are a disaster and guys don't want to come here.

 

[jncuse]

I hate that chit. Houston buys a pick for Detroit’s owners pocket book to get paid.

Odd that a team that is reportedly as cheap as Houston is buying a pick for $4 million (I assume that is the max you can pay)

 

[Alsacs]

Obi should be the pick to keep him in-state right?

 

[jncuse]

Houston trading 16 and Ariza to Detroit for a future 1.

Detroit must not be using its cap space in FA.

They seemed to be a big candidate for FVV, given the realtionship between him and Casey, but apparently not happening.

Would be nice if Raps are not bidding against anybody in negotiations.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Truly ridiculous pick but gotta trust the new regime. No one drafted better than Denver.

Especially since they also drafted Gobert and Mitchell for the Jazz.

 

[CuseRunner]

Knicks fans all eyez on Tyrese Haliburton. Cleveland at 5 is up next they have a million guards so don't think they take him. Don't think ATL at 6 either. Detroit at 7 would concern me.

Why have we not moved up at this point.

 

[MikeSU02]

Alsacs here you go...

 

[jncuse]

Tampering won’t be real this offseason.
Atleast it shouldn’t.
I don’t believe Bogdanevic would play ball if that was the story.
I think it’s most likely Sacramento screwed up.

It's always a safe bet to choose the Kings as the screw up party.

 

[CuseRunner]

Good Good Good. Williams, Okoro both off the board 2 guys being linked to the Knicks already off the board who I didn't want.
