Draft Day Thread

[bobheckler]

Draft picks as they come later, draft day trades and opinions about picks and trades.  You get the idea.

I think putting everything together here will help us connect the dots as to where teams are trying to go.


As cited on the Draft thread the Knicks traded #27 + #38 to move up to #23. Who's likely to be on the board in the low 20s but not high 20s?

I think you can definitely find a PG at 23 and that is something the Knicks are looking for

The rumors do get to be more fun the closer we get to the draft. Especially coming off Twitter.

Boston rumors include trading with NO to get George Hill and Celtics unloading picks and players to get up to # 3 for Wiseman.

Could be a bunch of BS, but very entertaining.

haven't seen the G. Hill one yet myself, wondering who they thought Ainge was trading to them to bring back that $9M salary?

[kdp59]

Knowing Ainge he'll take C. Anthony at #14.

With KW being offered up to any and all we should not be surprised if he goes PG. But going BIG works for me.

[NYCelt]

I'm getting a mental image of Ainge in his office with a dartboard on the wall.

The board is labeled...
"Trade 'em"
"Pick Big"
"Pick Wing"
"Pick PG"

Those are around the outer bands.

The Bullseye is labeled...
"Shock 'em all. Draft and stash a Euro at 14"

Any situation is a better one for Horford. Good for him

[kdp59]

WOW!

The Boston Celtics held exploratory talks that would send Marcus Smart to the Golden State Warriors for the No. 2 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft recently, league sources told The Action Network Wednesday. – via Matt Moore @ Action Network


Talks fell through on both sides, sources said, and more discussions are not expected after the Celtics rejected an unknown counteroffer. – via Matt Moore @ Action Network


League sources were skeptical of not only a deal between Boston and Golden State happening, but of Golden State executing any trade, an idea supported by USA Today’s reporting. – via Matt Moore @ Action Network
Trade, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors

[kdp59]

so who the heck is/was Ainge hot on in the draft at #2?

Wiseman?

[112288]

Onyeka Okongwu

[kdp59]

I like him but not for Smart...glad GS said no, If it really happened of course.

[112288]

Smart brings so many intangibles that are hard pinpoint individually except through his overall play on the court

[dboss]

So Danny wants to move GH. KW and MS

It may be time for a new GM.

LOL....well if we start seeing rumors about Tatum someone better call the Police where Ainge lives.

Good move by Sixers. You see a bad contract can be moved if you throw in a pick or 2.

[RosalieTCeltics]

I do not believe Danny went looking to trade Smart, the Warriors have been trying to pry Smart from the Celtics for a couple of years. They are ready to move on from Drummond Green, I think the coach is sick of him.

Al got traded to OKC for Danny Green

[kdp59]

The Oklahoma City Thunder, who just acquired Kelly Oubre Jr., is looking to flip him for a first-round pick, league sources told HoopsHype. – via Michael Scotto @ HoopsHype

OKC is just seeing how many draft picks they can get now.


Klay Thompson suffers leg injury

Shams Charania: Warriors star Klay Thompson suffered an apparent lower leg injury today and is undergoing tests to determine severity, sources tell @The Athletic @Stadium. – via Twitter ShamsCharania

If its serious it might change up what GS does at #2.

[RosalieTCeltics]

Wow....

Geez, now I have to listen to this girl on NBC/TV who does not even cover basketball, she has a big mouth

I thought OKC was in rebuild mode. Why did they pick up Horford?

[kdp59]

Ktron, they are collecting draft picks.

[RosalieTCeltics]

Sound terrible don’t I??? Sorry, she has a very loud mouth and is making me wish for Abby Chin. She is trying to put words in their mouth because she has a certain opinion. Long night if she is around all night.

Boy I sound awful, guess I am a little down right now

Try ESPN, Rosalie.

Sage Steele and Jay Bilas should be better.

[tjmakz]

GS has announced a lower leg injury to Klay Thompson.
No details yet but it looks serious.
