1. Philadelphia
2. Los Angeles Lakers
3. Boston (From Brooklyn)
4. Phoenix
5. Minnesota
6. New Orleans
7. Denver (From New York)
8. Sacramento

Bulls got another ring but then had the worst 5 or so year run in pro sports history.
With the Knicks not having a pick.  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 6/23/2016 6:44 pm : link
This might be the year where not having one isn't so bad. Everyone it seems is trying to get rid of their picks. Awful draft.
Trade alert

Sacramento is trading guard Marco Belinelli to Charlotte for the No. 22 pick, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Don't think it is a bad draft

That's kind of the case every year. The value is usually only very high with the top 3 picks everything after is almost just meh
Seems like more so this year with the draft.

Heard one deal that was offered to Chicago for Jimmy Butler included Minnesota's No. 5 pick and Zach LaVine.

is bad and has a bad contract. I dont think it's dumb MJ here. I think the #22 pick maybe has near negative value. That is, the post top 8 or 15 prospects are so bad that people dont want to give them guaranteed contracts.
#3 for

Noel, Covington, and some late #1s is on the table. Bad trade for Boston if they do it.
That trade is horrible for Boston.

It's all over the place. I'll dig up the one I read that had the players Deej listed, that same article said they rejected straight up #3 for Okafor.

Quote:
However, there are two players available who could certainly help improve the Celtics front line. Those two players are Philadelpha 76ers big men, Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel.

The Philadelphia 76ers, sources say, have been trying for some time to convince the Celtics to part with the No. 3 pick in a deal headlined by Sixers big man Jahlil Okafor or teammate Nerlens Noel, but Boston, to date, has resisted those pitches.‎

The reason the Cs have turned down this deal is because it would be silly for them to accept this without looking around for a potential better deal. But a better deal seems to be very hard to find considering Bostons attempts to nab Jimmy Butler, Jabari Parker, Gordon Hayward and Khris Middleton have been rejected....
Ah okay.

Philly trying to go after the 5th pick now

Well, one wonders whether it was Okafor vs. Noel, Covington, and 2 #1s.

Moreover, I could see a team just saying no to Okafor. Not comparatively, just on the grounds that he's a guy who you probably have to build around. To deal with his bad D and his old school game. Cause if you trade for Okafor, you better be hoping he's a 25+ point guy. Which I think he can be. But as a "the offense is him" guy.
The Suns

Take Dragan Bender at 4.

Sixers trying to get the 5th pick for Dunn.
Brown at 3 doesnt surprise me  
Deej : 6/23/2016 7:57 pm : link
could be a Jimmy Butler. There is a group of 5 or so guys who all have the same value.
Please dont post who the pick will be  
Deej : 6/23/2016 7:59 pm : link
that's so silly that reporters break this "news". Ruins the drama of watching.

was #1 on his board.
Minnesota should draft  
GMEN46 : 6/23/2016 7:59 pm : link
Dunn and keep him. That team has such a great future if they can get in free agent to sign there next year even if it is Gordon heyward

Hield to New Orleans..great spot for him.
Denver using our pick

but Im more pissed about #9.

Though Murray would look good in our lineup.
Chriss drafted at 8  
Deej : 6/23/2016 8:29 pm : link
Being traded to Suns. Makes sense. He had to be taken there as the last of the top 8 group. Big step down for Raptors at 9.

What are the Suns gonna do with 2 raw stretch 4s?

to the Orlando Magic.
That Minnesota team  
Rflairr : 6/23/2016 8:48 pm : link
has a ridiculous amount of talent. If they somehow pull off this Butler trade, I would call them a top 4 team in the West. Especially with a real coach

Butler has 3+1 left  
Deej : 6/23/2016 9:05 pm : link
The 3 are all below 19 million. One of the most valuable guys in the NBA because of it. Wouldnt shock me if the Bulls got Wiggins, but Lavine plus two good pieces is more likely.
No wonder

why the same team suck every year. WTF are the Bucks taking Maker. The suns/Kings are dueling for most incompetent. Holy god, some awful picks so far.
