2020 Historical Draft Thread: Draft over. Playoffs coming soon!

I'm up, right?

Going with Indiana's finest for the 11th pick of the 5th round.

Names!!! Please!!! I know it's Oladipo but I won't recognize everyone.

Jrue would have been available later IMO, but if you like him you like him!

I couldn't take the chance. He's such a versatile player, and with PG's who fit well with other teams are running out, I thought if I didn't get him in round 5, he will be gone.

I had to move up to get him. He offers so much value as a starter and as a third wing player. His defense is absolutely superb, and he's a very underrated scorer, shot creator and playmaker. He has everything that I want for a PG for this team.

Yeah, it's an overpay, but it's something I'm willing to pay for Jrue. He's a very good player and a great fit for us.

You only had to move up to get him if he wouldn't have been available at your next pick.  I thought he would be.  But if you know someone else would have grabbed him, like Roy, then you made the absolutely right choice!

That's the thing, I don't know if he'll be available by 5.12. He did say he love him.

Yes, thank you.   

Hard enough to remember every name from the last 20 years.

[Roy H.]

Derrick Rose

He won’t be the starter, but he will destroy teams off the bench.

Derrick Rose

I'd start him.  I had him as my #16 overall player.  He's great.  I understand why the other MVPs fell, but not this guy.

[Who]

Oladipo and Dirk. Those two will work together nicely.

Giannis looks 12 in that pic compared to where he is now, lol.

Great pick.

Derrick Rose

Excellent value there.

[Moranis]

I don't like the trade trading Lebron.  Just doesn't make sense to me.  If you trade the best player in the draft, you need to get obscene value and I just don't think it happened there, especially as Ray Allen is better than Klay Thompson the other two guys in the trade.  Moving up a couple of rounds is nice, but just not near enough value to make that trade. 

Also some very strange picks.  I think is still way too early to sacrifice talent for fit, which is what a lot of the selections have been this round.

I expected the MVP's to go this round, but the best one is still available which I find strange.

I had him as a late 2nd early 3rd. I thought he'd be perfect for Duncan or KG. Like an uber-version of Tony Parker. Imagine if D-Rose had of gotten to play with Ginobili and Duncan like Parker did. That would have been incredible.

Andrei Kirilenko

[Somebody]

TRADE

BLOCKBUSTER

Dallas sends: LeBron James, Ray Allen and 7(1)

Philly sends: Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson + 5(6)

Looks like a fleece for Philly tbh (sorry Dallas). What a trade!
