Game Thread: 2014 NBA Draft

[bksballer89]

The playoffs need to be best of five till the finals. It's pretty ridiculous having the Playoffs last so freaking long.

The more basketball the better.....for me at least

So according to reports, for the 2nd year in a row, Cleveland STILL doesn't know what its going to do with the #1 pick. WTF?

Start the season in late November or early December and end in late July/early August. Bridge the gap better between football seasons.

I heard from a reliable source that they are currently discussing best option with Anthony Bennett....

They will be taking Wiggins though.

NBA's goal should be to not be playing head to head against the NFL as much as possible.

I can't wait.

I bet they trade it, that's what they want to do.

I think there is a likely scenario where the Cavs pick Parker or Wiggins and then end up trading him within the next week.

I would love this. Sports is so boring after the nba finals until nfl preseason. I like baseball &.tennis but not nearly as much as those 2 sports. The world cup this yr is helping though

Really quiet out there. Thought we'd see some more trade action. Still 2.5 hours to go though.

I think they take Wiggins if they hold onto the pick. The Embiid injury messed them up.

Andrew Wiggins just sent the Cleveland Cavaliers a text that said: Hurry up and draft me. Let's tear up this league!

Joel Embiid could fall to Celtics in NBA Draft - Sports - The Boston Globe

NBA tv had a mock today and had the Lakers taking Embiid. Shockingly, they had Stauskas going to Orlando at 4. That's a real stretch IMO.

I agree with TF12, Embiid is a rare talent and would be tough to pass up, but the injury thing may be too much to risk.

Realistically, here are my top 5 hopefuls at 7.

1. Julius Randle
2. Marcus Smart
3a. Joel Embiid
3b. Aaron Gordon
4. Noah Vonleh
5. Elfrid Payton

Cleveland still looking to trade.

Wiggins is the perfect fit for Cleveland






So naturally they have to trade down

Gotta be honest, they'd be stupid not to.

I agree 100%. As of now, they start around the end of October, right when the best of football season starts. About half of the NBA season competes with the NFL and college football.

I know im going to turn on the draft at 4 and it wont start til 5 or something like that.

Not if they want LBJ, which is unlikely
