2016 NBA Draft Thread

Take Davis or the Kentucky kid.

Who's James Stewart? He says this:

I believe the Bulls ask price to the Celtics for Jimmy Butler was #3, #16, #23, next years Brooklyn pick, Smart, Bradley and Crowder.

If that is remotely accurate then Wyc was correct.

That's a ridiculous price - until you consider that Ainge is going to p--- away the picks anyway playing his "I'm smarter than everyone else" ego games.

Then, it just becomes too much for Butler.

Good news is that diamond stone should be available near #31

LOL at this thread.  "I don't know who this player is, so I'm going to assume he sucks because I know more than the GMs paid to make these picks!"

this basically

all we know for now is that Danny thinks differently than DraftExpress.

Yea and that's worked out pretty ****ty hasn't it.  Get a clue

if you are upset, consider doing sthg better than typing angry messages to strangers in a sports forum.

LOL at the certainty with which most of you guys were speaking about Butler to the TWolves .

This board is really slow.  annoying.  Also why do people report that the celtics made a surprising pick at 16.  I think i said ainge was going to do something different there.  What did people really expect then to waste it on overrated talent they don't need?

Because they are knee jerk and make up their minds before the fact, even though this draft is clearly very flat talent wise after the first few picks.  And also because journalists who sit around and mock draft are clearly so plugged in and the best evaluators of talent in the NBA.  So much so that they don't get paid to do it and work as journalists.

That's what I mean though.  They are the ones reporting crap and then they are like surprising pick. It isn't surprising.  They also weren't nice enough to get this board up and running right on the biggest night of the year either. I've worked in IT and don't do that crap to people either.

uncalled for. relax.

It is called for though. I'm trying to watch the draft and post here and it's taking forever lol.

There are at least 30 sites associated with so nation that are going crazy with traffic right now.  Heck, we have like 100 people on this thread alone.  Traffic is gonna be high, and they're not gonna spend 3x the money to make you slightly less inconvenienced 1 day a year.

More reason why they should have it up and running since they have the traffic to do that. I don't know man.  I have worked for good companies in the past and when something like that happens people usually apoligize for it.  People have gone downhill. It's no different than reporting crap and then acting surprised. And then acting like it's somehow my fault.

Next year's pick is GOLD.

Whose?  The Nets or the C's?

The pick we're getting from the Nets via swap. They're going for upside projects; I'm giddy.

Wow, that would have been awful

And yet Ainge is an idiot for not trading for him 

If that's the deal, I take back what I said about Danny.

That's the thing though: we don't know and may never know. Criticizing him based on rumors is just stupid

[moiso]

-Yabusele won't join the Celtics this season, but he's an upside pick with a game similar to Atlanta's Paul Millsap. You can't go wrong with a guy like that. -

The French Larry Johnson Fran Franschilla said.

[furball]

Jimmy Stewart is probably the news guy from Felger and Mazz (if it's that Jimmy Stewart) And he is most likely joking. 

[alldaboston]

Apparently he's the "executive producer of felger and mazz" and a CBSBostonSports.com contributor. 20k twitter followers.

Cheick Diallo for us at 31?

Can we please drop this discussion about how a free site, where we all spend way more of our time than we should, is running a bit slow (and it's only a bit for me) because it's the busiest night of the year for them and their traffic is probably up 15-fold. Thank you.
