NFT: NBA Draft Thread

First. Doncic’s mom? Jeeeesus. Even a couple of my son’s college buddies are texting him about her lol. Hilarious.

Lonnie Walker. Loved how he helped his mom down the stairs even when dad had bolted through.

Wendell Carter Jr. was accepted to Harvard. He was my pick this morning. That seals it. Carter and Wagner at the top of the second and I’m thrilled.

Here we go!

Have a deal. They will swap picks. Atlanta will take Doncic and Dallas will take Trae Young.
Dallas will send

Mavs get Doncic, he is going to be a stud

Bamba drops to the Knicks. Won't happen, but the legs are spread wide open, and I'm ready for the Knicks organization to draft Miles Bridges and kick me in the nuts for the 100th time.
Doncic in Dallas will be fun.

Swoop in to 4 with the Parsons deal and hold Atlanta hostage via Young
Doncic is going to be a freaking stud.

Good trade by Cuban.

Having the kid wear a Hawks hat when he is being shipped to Dallas.
Looks like Porter  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/21/2018 7:58 pm : link
Might skip to Chicago at 7.
Mo Bamba to Knicks?

The Knicks should, Porzingis will likely miss most if not all of the season next year so they should take Porter and essentially redshirt him. Then they will go into the following season with both and a likely top 3 pick.

I would, but I don't have his medicals. He's the kind of guy the Knicks have to take IMO. He can sit for the year and if he is healthy he could potentially be a franchise changer.
Porter  
Big Rick in FL : 6/21/2018 8:07 pm : link
Is probably going to be there. Wendell Carter is going to Chicago.
Philly should take Porter  
bluepepper : 6/21/2018 8:11 pm : link
they're used to red-shirting guys by now.

Honestly don't think the Knicks have it in them to draft a guy who likely will sit a year and has an iffy long term prognosis.
knox?  
RAIN : 6/21/2018 8:12 pm : link
supposedly is the pick.
Hmmm Isaac and Bamba

Metnut : 6/21/2018 8:13 pm : link
Porter it would be a huge opportunity. Best recruit out of HS. Next year is a tank year anyway. Suck it up next year, add another top 5 pick, another year goes off of Noah's deal, let Frank develop another year, and Knicks would have the makings of a nice corps.

Love the Carter pick for Chicago. Lauri and Carter are two nice pieces to start with.
apparently he said something like "our coach"  
RAIN : 6/21/2018 8:13 pm : link
when referring to Fizdale, per the ringer.
Bulls  
AcidTest : 6/21/2018 8:13 pm : link
take Carter.
wow  
yankeeslover : 6/21/2018 8:13 pm : link
Knicks have to take Porter right? maybe? it would go against there previous mojo.
Absolutely love

Cavs take Sexton

Leaves the Knicks with their choice of Porter, Knox, Bridges.
Knicks  
Giantfootball025 : 6/21/2018 8:17 pm : link
can not pass on Porter Jr. who could have potentially been the #1 pick minus an injury. Again we don't know how bad his back is though.
gonna be Knox here.  
RAIN : 6/21/2018 8:17 pm : link
i'm guessing.
I  
AcidTest : 6/21/2018 8:19 pm : link
won't fault any team in the top 10 for passing on Porter, even if he has a HOF career.
Back injuries can be career enders.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/21/2018 8:19 pm : link
See Bird, Larry.
How good is Knox?  
TommyWiseau : 6/21/2018 8:20 pm : link
Don't know too much about him
..  
charlito : 6/21/2018 8:22 pm : link

Knicks taking Knox.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/21/2018 8:22 pm : link
I'm fine with that.

My guess
It's  
AcidTest : 6/21/2018 8:22 pm : link
easier to take a chance on Porter if you've had recent success, but the Knicks haven't, so they should pass. I don't know much about Knox, but he seems like a safe pick.

Warming up to him. Size of a small center and exceptional shooter. Good athlete, below average rebounder for a 4 but the 4 is his best fit. Not sure if he’ll be able to guard the elite nba 3’s.
Not a Knicks fan  
Rflairr : 6/21/2018 8:23 pm : link
But they have to gamble on Porter here.

But I fear passing on Porter will be a big mistake
Wow  
Carl in CT : 6/21/2018 8:26 pm : link
Knicks again. Just like taking Frank. You can’t make this up
Good pick.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/21/2018 8:26 pm : link
Saw a lot of Kentucky basketball. I think he's going to be really good.
I know the questions about Porter are there  
Rflairr : 6/21/2018 8:26 pm : link
But I would have drafted him because of the star potential
He's a three on offense.  
RAIN : 6/21/2018 8:26 pm : link
Maybe a four on defense, apparently he's a good defender that had trouble in his freshman year.
Good pick.
