2019 NBA Lottery And Draft

[Black Adam]

Weird. It was from BR.

Pretty sure this was it. Guess they deleted and retweeted it.

If you can't see it, they're comparing Tacko Fall measurables to Yao Ming

ummm... Daaayyyyuuuummmm...

Knicks, Lakers and Celtics. All the teams interested. AD would stay in Boston if they kept Kyrie, he said he likes Boston as well.

If the Knicks get commitments from KD and/or Kyrie they would give N.O. whatever they wanted for AD.

The Lakers already tried to trade their whole team minus Lebron.

If the C's offered for AD and talked to Kyrie they would give up a lot for AD.

Those are the only teams that we know are really interested and/or made offers to this point. All would give up the farm for AD.

AD said he would go to the Celtics, as he would with any team. He never indicated he would re-sign necessarily, as he indicated he would accept a trade to any of the 29 teams, but was looking forward to free agency.

Per Shams, the original list of 4 teams was Lakers, Clippers, Bucks, and Knicks.

So a normal non trolling convo probably would've acknowledged my point somewhere along the line

Oh look another slight on Cleveland. Super original. Congrats on your creativity

Here's another one for you: RJ Barrett recently stated that if he's not picked in the top 2, he prefers to go to the Knicks or Lakers. Who has the 5th pick? Cleveland.

Well lucky for him Knicks and Lakers are 3 and 4. He is most likely going to the Knicks but then traded to the Pelicans, a definitely possibility. I'm sure he will be fine playing with Zion even if it is N.O.

His measurables alone will get him drafted, likely 2nd round. I can see him having a Boban type of role in the NBA where he can be effective in certain match ups

LMFAO. This one is excellent. So many jokes and subtle references as well. They even sneak in an Inside the NBA cameo.

LOL 5:10 "I miss you"

Followed by Tatum's "Can we please keep the tampering down to a minimum"

I don't for a second doubt most of these guys would prefer the shine of NY/LA. He better be careful though he may end up in NO.

He really is absolutely killing his own trade value thus causing problems with his getting traded.

I doubt he even gets drafted. His stats aren't great.

He'll most likely get invited to a summer league team though.

He'll be on an NBA roster next year. Even if he doesn't get drafted, you got to think a team use one of their 2 way slots on him this summer

Absolutely, I get that. Like @wildturkey said, his size alone will get him noticed.

But really, other than his size there's nothing impressive about him.

 

[Shanemansj13]

1. Zion - Pelicans
2. Morant - Grizzlies
3. Barrett - Knicks
4. Culver - Lakers
5. Hunter - Cavs
6. Garland - Suns
7. White - Bulls
8. Reddish - Hawks
9. Hayes - Wizards
10. Doumbouya - Hawks

4 Culver and 5 Hunter could be flip flopped.

Hey @DJ for lunch today, I made a homemade pizza with a crust so thin...it only had one side.

And you didn't invite me?

You?

My wife was lucky I invited her. lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

I’m hearing Reddish’s stock is already climbing, even before the combine. The Knicks reportedly really like his potential and shooting ability at the next level

IF Boston were to offer Tatum AND Brown plus picks, that offer would hands down be better, but we don't know what Ainge will offer and I think he has said before he isn't giving up both...could be wrong.

I still think the best fit for AD is playing aside Lebron without a doubt, it won't be up to him though unfortunately.

But I agree, 2 top 10 picks (4 and maybe 7) plus Kuzma and Ingram, more proven players than any player in the Knicks offer is pretty damn good.

Not necessarily.

Brown and Tatum are both very good players. A Zion, Tatum, Brown, Holiday core could be really good.

Barrett could be a great player. A Zion, Holiday, Barrett, Robinson, Knox core could be significantly better.

The NBA is about building around great players.

It is a risk either way. But the Knicks best package offers more upside than the Celtics best package.

 

[tlance]

Yeah, if Boston does that, no one is beating their offer. If they don't, then I think the Lakers offer would be a little better than the Knicks. If for no other reason than they would have the #1, #4 and #6 picks in this draft.

In a Lakers offer vs. Knicks offer scenario...if it's left 100% up to Griffin, he probably takes the Lakers offer because he is smart enough to just take the best offer period, regardless of where it comes from.

But if ownership is still butthurt over the AD debacle, the Lakers offer wouldn't be "better enough" to prevent them from taking the Knicks offer instead.

The Knicks potential offer is better period.

Lakers youngsters have not shown enough upside to top a package built around RJ Barrett. And there is a significant gap between 3 and 4.
