Official 2016 NBA Draft Thread

Already got to my goal of 20% after 7 picks. I'll take it!

That is impressive.

I'd probably prefer Bledsoe, but he needs to stay healthy.

Bogdanovic.... and the 13th. Damn it. Hopefully Baldwin is still there.

 

[WiggyRuss]

what happens in denver though? Mudiay move to the 2? or will Murray play more of the 2?

I'd probably prefer Bledsoe, but he needs to stay healthy.

Bledsoe's defense and physicality are definitely selling points for me. Id rather have him than Knight too.

1st trade . Suns get Chriss. Bender not part of the deal they are saying.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

So the Suns are getting Chriss

Chriss and Bender.

Not bad.

Bulls window is closed. Dunn and Lavine for Butler would be a bad deal for Minnesota. Butler is a very good player, but that young nucleus could be championship caliber if Minny keeps it in tact.

The move to make would be Rubio for Noel (if possible). They would have 3 potential future superstars and 3 more good young players. Add a couple free agent vets to that core, and you have something special.

EXACTLY what i'm thinking. let this young group grow together and I think you have a winner on your hands...

Congrats, Dude.

With good health, you guys can make some noise.

I wish you guys could give us Gallo.

Yea, he is only healthy for 2/3 of the season sometimes only half so i don't know how much he would actually help you. Plus, he disappears at times

I kind of like what Phoenix is doing.

They will get another high lotto pick next year too.

well you did get two freebies

 

[Bolts]

Bogdanovic.... and the 13th. Damn it. Hopefully Baldwin is still there.

I just checked and he wasn't gonna join the Suns this season, so I guess he's a year away. Not sure how to feel about it.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Hmm if they are giving them a pick then it cant be Bledsoe

 

[ericd7633]

well you did get two freebies

True. But who else got 6 of the top 8 picks correct?

 

[elw4corps]

what happens in denver though? Mudiay move to the 2? or will Murray play more of the 2?

Mudiay stays at the one and Murray plays the 2. Also, can Jalen rose please stop talking about all the money people made while playing in the nba no one cares.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Thon Maker.

Wtf Bucks!!!!#

 

[The Derski]

If the Suns completely tank, which is entirely possible, we could get Josh Jackson next year too. Lol

i do too- at some point you need to make moves though and get vets. I like the Twolves roster and talent a lot. They wont win shit this year if they play a roster of guys that are all like 23 years old or younger for the most part. Young players just so very rarely win in the NBA. GREAT GREAT players like Durant, LEBron, CP3..plenty of otherse missed the playoffs their first 2 years in the league. As good as the Twolves are- if they just go young i think they are at least 2-3 years away from being legit contenders to get to a Conference Final...trading for Jimmy Butler- Dunn and Lavine would speed that up IMMENSELY- and give them them a wing who is a defensive stopper and great player- those are about as rare a commodity as their is in the league.

In the East- LEBron James is obviously the best, Paul GEorge is 2nd, and I could listen to arguments that Jimmy Butler is the 3rd best player in the East. Kyrie IRving is certainly up there as well. John Wall. Perhaps Drummond.

 

[LAD]

Draymond Green is not fast enough to guard the majority of wings....he can switch and do a good job- but you cantask draymond green to guard small forwards and play the small forward position. he cant handle that. For stretches sure- a lot of guys can....but draymond is not a small forward by any stretch of the imagination. Durant would DEF be the 3.

You couldn't be more wrong about Dray. Lol

Who, the hell is this dude the raptors just drafted
