Should be an entertaining night. Let's hope the Knicks get some promising talent.

intrigued by guys like Monk, Markkanen, Fox, Hart, Giles, Motley & Bacon... time will tell
ooh, shoot

I want Thornwell and/or Motley in the second

Edmond Sumner undrafted
I'd love if Monk is available @  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/22/2017 7:05 pm : link
8. I think he's got the potential to be really freaking good.
At this point I don't care who the pick is. I just want a quiet night  
Ten Ton Hammer : 6/22/2017 7:06 pm : link
and hopefully they pick a good player at 8 and don't fuck something up even worse than it is.
Lavar.

i would so write a clause into Alonzo's contract that Lavar was not allowed anywhere near the team or arena.

Starts at 730. I though it was 7, but not to be.
My current rooting interest  
Deej : 6/22/2017 7:20 pm : link
is Isaac or Monk or Fox, of guys I think have a shot. I'd be okay with several others though, including Smith and Frank -- if that's what the scouts say, so be it.

In the 2nd I'd like a linebacker defender. A guy who is 20 pounds of muscle too big to be a wing, but plays it anyway. And who starts fights, even in practice. This team is tissue paper soft. Need some sandpaper.
Ok great

Be home by 8.

I don't think there is any chance Fox is available. I'd do back flips if he made it to 8. I think he has a legit shot to be the best player in this draft down the road
I would love Monk, Dennis Smith JR or Issac !

Hoping for Monk

I think the mortal locks to go before us at Fultz, Ball, and Jackson. There is a story where everyone else could slip, albeit a very low % for some (Tatum, Fox). Say Tatum to Celts, the other locks top 4. Sac decides Isaac is the shit. Magic dont want to pair Fox and Elf do to shooting, so they go Monk. Minny just took a PG and/or has the same concerns about shooting, so goes Markkanen, Smith, or off the board. Fox then falls to 8. Low chance, but plausible. Implausible is all those teams passing on Jackson.

For cheap enough, sure. But his shot is so broke that he's just a flyer.

I really like Fultz  
MookGiants : 6/22/2017 7:38 pm : link
but in a sport where one guy can change the entire fortunes of a team, it bothers me that his team was awful. Same with Ben Simmons. It's not hard to make the NCAA tournament, and both LSU and Washington the last 2 years didn't even sniff the tournament.
Fultz will be yet

Some people saw it early, say he no-comments a lot of the interesting questions regarding his relationship strain with the team.
I like this NBA draft  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/22/2017 7:40 pm : link
Crew. Rose, Wilbon, and Bilas are all very knowledgeable.
9 wins

I just have such a hard time wrapping my head around the 1st pick in the draft playing on a team that won 9 games.

It's certainly very strange. Though on the other hand, plenty of college "winners" go on to suck.

Very steep price. Dunn was bad last year but he has a ton of potential.

Bulls are a wildcard. They have holes everywhere lol.
Wade opted in, and now Butler's being traded?  
Ten Ton Hammer : 6/22/2017 7:46 pm : link
I wonder if he feels like he was sold a bill of goods or if he's already semi-retired.
wonder how wade feels right now

..
I also don't  
Jon in NYC : 6/22/2017 7:47 pm : link
think that's a particularly good return for Butler.

Lavine is a health risk, Dunn was brutal last year, and the 7th pick is good I guess?

Not a steep price  
Deej : 6/22/2017 7:48 pm : link
that's a fantastic get for the Wolves if it goes thru. 7 is a ?. Lavine is a good player, could be Butler good but unlikely, and not soon. You're gonna have to max Lavine soon, and he's also hurt. Dunn's first year was so bad that you have to write off the draft position. Not even clearly a rotation guard going forward IMO.

Butler is gonna do so much for them. He will make them better than just his play. He will teach them how to win. I also think he's easy top 15, maybe top 10. I think they're getting him on the cheap because of the GSW/CLE fear. Love is a worse player who returned #1 overall.
Lonzo to Lakers.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/22/2017 7:49 pm : link
Celts on clock. I think they take Tatum.
this is according to windbag

16 going back to twolves
Celtics take Tatum.  
Jon in NYC : 6/22/2017 7:50 pm : link
Apparently tons of teams are trying to take Jackson at 4. So we could see a trade there.
Dukies scare me though
