2016 NBA Draft thread

[slinslin]

The only reason the Bender pick is OK is because of the trade. I would have preferred Dunn and Chriss but I guess they loved Bender.

Indeed and then clean up our PG situation.

Knight has not been reported anywhere as part of the trade.

AK-47, KG?

AK was listed 6-9. KG played PF/C.

Ok we have Bender and Chriss. Who's going to help this team this year or the next two? Cellar dwellers once again. Better get key FAs.

I would welcome being a cellar dweller next year.

Maker at 10 wtfff

13, 28, Bogdan, and Knight seem like a lot. Maybe it's true, or maybe one of those four pieces aren't.

Yeah I seen Mike jureki post it. But now he debunked it.

Yeah, there's no way that is the trade... one of those is not part of it, or something else is coming from Sacramento with Chriss.

I wouldn't mind moving Knight, and hopefully holding on to the 13. Or hopefully we got something good from the Kings.

Must be a little weird for Chriss to be picked and traded by his hometown team.

Yep I saw the pick and was all happy my girlfriends oldest niece went to the same HS as him saw him play as a soph. Then they said he's being traded and I thought well crap there goes the hometown angle.

 

[sunsfan88]

Yea I like that we were able to use the other two picks to move up. Giving up the rights to Bogdanovic was probably more valuable to me than any of the actual 1st rd picks but doesn't look like he's gonna even come to the NBA this season either.

Yep, me too... another good lottery pick next year could really put together a good young nucleus.

 

[myrondizzo]

Essentially we traded the Morris twins, the 28th and Bogdan for chris

 

[Cheesebeef]

this is going to be the weirdest night on this forum in EONS. I think EVERYONE is going to be either excited about this draft or okay with it at worst.

 

[GatorAZ]

Jason Kidd still drinking and driving.

 

[Ronin]

There goes sabanois.

The Suns will likely look for a PG in the 2nd round.

Tyler Ulis I hope. Plus he's a Kentucky Wildcat which I'm sure appeals to McD.

 

[Mainstreet]

When has a 7 footer ever played SF?

Toni Kukoc

 

[slinslin]

Soooo Payton II or Ulis at 34?

I lean Payton. Ulis has injury flags and is a midget without the athleticism of IT or Nate Robinson.

 

[SO91]

I'm waiting to find out Phoenix gave up something else. This feels like a really good trade for us and I'm waiting for the disappointment.

 

[3rdside]

he picked the greek freak so he's on to something - maker is clearly gonna be alright. How DX got it that wrong..

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Love the draft. Was really struggling deciding which guy I liked. Now we at least have two shots for one of these bigs to hit! And if they both do, with Booker is a great young nucleus. Word was that they think Chriss might develop into a 3. If the front line ends up being 6'10 Chriss, 7'1 bender, 7'1 Len that's quite some size. Add in 6'6 booker and we have length.

 

[Ronin]

Lol what in the world is Orlando doing?

Damn OKC traded Ibaka after they came within 1 game of going to the Finals?

TRADE: Orlando will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder for Serge Ibaka.

 

[slinslin]

Chriss is still 18 and grew almost 2 inches in the last 1-2 years so he might still grow to 6'11 or so.

I thought Kidd came after that draft?
