NFT: NBA: Draft Day

for a draft pick (unless it would get them Zion but that's not happening).

Dick Vitale
@DickieV
The
@PelicansNBA
to me made a super trade in moving to number 10 in the
@NBA
draft and in addition getting
@Original_Turner
. They will get as talented of a player at 10 as they would @ # 4; Its just a matter of preference!




Original Turner is Myles Turner, BTW

involving those teams that included Turner, but it wasn't based on any inside info. I wonder if Dickie V. saw it on the Twitter and thought it was legit.

This is exactly what happened. Dickey V just got confused. There�s no deal.

pick and CLE probably wants Knox and something. I see no way we get the 5th without me feeling like we overpaid. Just take Barrett, try to trade Frank, and buy a couple seconds if we can.

And second rounders are what? 2M a pop?

He's a kid, so has a lot of room for growth. But I didn't see that fire in him most of the time.

trade Knox and DSJ for the 5th pick.

Cleveland probably wouldn't, they don't need DSJ.

A) No player wants to wear the hat of a team that they're not going to play for; and B) It's fucking confusing as all hell tracking who went where.

its the kind of moves we should make once we are out of FA. They got Warren and a first rounder for nothing? Warren is a very underrated player.

Reported a while back that there is mutual interest.

@ShamsCharania
Top three picks in 2019 NBA draft are set, per sources:
1. Zion Williamson, Pelicans
2. Ja Morant, Grizzlies
3. RJ Barrett, Knicks

seen a few random bits:

-Russell interested in BOS & NYK if he's out of BK (IncarceratedBob)

-Melo to LAL possible (Steve Kyler, bball insiders). Hahaha

-CP3 would like to be traded, would consider LAL. Still dreaming of team superfriends, tho they are not sure what LBJ thinks (SAS...)

-Maybe confirmation bias here, but still talk Kawhi to LAL is a no. And that NYK is in the conversation behind LAC & TOR. Not sure where that was but just good to continue to hear NYK on the list

Has to be for culver. That�s who Cleveland was targeting.

Hunter.

Would love for the Knicks to grab 6 and take White/Garland

.

... my mistake.

Culver to Cavs
Garland to Suns
White to Bulls

To Phoenix for the 6th pick

pretty sure the record for draft trades is going down early tonight.

Saric was AWFUL last year. Great move for Minny.

So I�m not sure who they�re looking at. Unless they are trading Covington or Teague sonthey can take garland or culver.

according to woj

we could come out of this with Garland and Barrett. Too bad i dont see a trade option that i think im going to like, ha. We dont have a later pick this year to give them so they woudl be trading out completely.

I don't see much of a fit unless we're giving up Knox. How about Frankie, DSJ and a future protected pick? And Cleveland then can flip DSJ.

DSJ and Trier for the 5th.
Grab Coby White.

But got to see Rocket Man with the wife Saturday as part of the deal. Se la vie. Elton's not too bad.

Man cave representing. Ice cold beer. Let's get Barrett baby!

We would need to trade next years first protected only at one or something. And even then I�m not sure they do it.

it would probably have to be knox because they have sexton, no use for smith or frank

Next years pick if its top 5 protected.

...Barrett plus either Garland/White without getting bent over on the compensation it will be a major coup and stepping stone to developing a competitive roster.

wears socks anymore?

Can't imagine there's a match there unless it's - gasp - Mitch.

Doesn�t matter if they have Sexton, because both of them can shoot and distribute, they can play off each other. Also they�d be in the same vein as Lillard and McCollum

Fhe only non flashy suit

just because of a PG pickup. You still need a backup, he still needs work but can fill that type of role w/ upside. No guarantees a draftee will be better (DSJ was a high pick not long ago himself). If I were CLE, why wouldn't I need a 2nd PG, even if certain about Sexton?

Also Kyrie's game would be a perfect influence on DSJ given both are more scoring PGs (save the J atm). And his development / early career experiences are pretty perfect for DSJ - staying in control, better decisions, playoffs, playing w/ superstars

I'd rather keep DSJ than Frank. Been real disappointed Frank is supposed to be a great defender, yet outside of PnR success, he's been suspect. And awful on O. DSJ has been better than that at least

Gets a warm welcome from the crowd at the draft. Moreso than Zion did

(pours Maker's on ice)

WTF do they get to be 'on the clock' after weeks of planning?

Silver shoulda just said Zion after his spiel

got to get those commercials in.

there must be someone, but were there any guys that did this in the past? Maybe Nash, Kidd, Stockton (I don't think I saw Jackson do that much). I don't know 80s and prior guys...

Certainly did not see it as often iirc

Welcome to NY! Let's fucking go!

Happy day.. great pick.

Always feels good when the Knicks do the right thing on draft day... not a whole lot of those to count in my lifetime.

Welcome to NY, RJB!

a good pick here. He is very talented. I still like Hunter better, but Barrett has big upside.

.

about how RJ's dad being an NYer brought him down to the blacktops during HS to toughen up his game. Dad was being interviewed said something like "He can't look over at his dad when he gets knocked down or after a bad play out there, just has to suck it up and play harder"
