2019 NBA Lottery And Draft

[The Q]

We thought Jordan Bell was a second round steal. Not so much

I mean, his metrics were still really good. He’s still a good role player. Very cheap.

These guys like Culver over Barrett for example, and don't like Reddish or Hunter

He isn't a good role player though.

Bell is unreliable because he just doesn't know how to play basketball. He is often out of position defensively and he makes careless plays on offense.

He is talented, but not a guy a team can rely on to play important minutes in a big game. He is a mop up duty guy capable of posting decent stats for a bad team.

Woj suspects a lot of activity today.
Think it will be a slow build and a lot of action towards the deadline?
Or will trades roll in on the hour?
Probably need to wait until noon EST to allow for any west coast shenanigans....

The Heat with 2 picks now

I'm not liking the rumors though.

Report: Miami Heat May Trade No. 13 Pick to Cavs for J.R. Smith - Heat Nation

I'm ok with that if we get rid of one of our bad contracts because I believe we would get the Cavs late first round pick.

I see Reddish and Thybulle as over rated, but I like Hachimura and PJ Washington

I wouldn't like that because trading the pick would make no sense. I want the Heat to draft Porter at 13

Fascinating. The person I want for the Blazers is rated 44. Really surprising.

Thybulle will slip well into the 20's. Still a first round pick. I think Okpala is a mid 20's pick and King a strong second round pick.

Could be the Warriors targeting more cheap 2nd rounders. Could maybe be a piece to trade up a few spots for a target too.

Or they’re getting their Santa crus guy now.

Ouch

LOL nothing has changed. They got Lebron bc Lebron wanted to go there. They got AD bc AD wanted out of N.O. and specifically wanted to go to LA. Their management is still one of the worst in the league. Not sure how they are going to build around these two stars with knuckleheads like this.

 

[Sparhawk]

Ouch

Is there any chance NO knew what was happening and just whistled politely when making the agreement???? Or did they demand the later date knowing it might 'hurt' the Lakers ability to spend $$$???

Yup. Rich Paul and Lebron set it up perfectly; the bidding war for AD was light given that a lot of teams viewed him as a 1-year rental. But I have zero confidence in Pelinka and Rambis putting a team around AD and Lebron; common sense would say 3-and D players like Danny Green.

I’ll give hem credit for dumping Ingram over Kuzma.

They need Beverly and Danny green.

Get a mle and bi annual for the bench and hope Wagner can be a stretch big
