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.

I work in IT too, usually just means spinning up a few small web servers to accommodate the request...judging the average traffic in this board, probably not worth to do so. I mean it isn't entirely bad

Lavert.  Stupid Nets.

Depends. If he stays healthy, he should be really good. Dude is a lottery talent and if not for injuries, he would not draft.

High risk pick, but there's a good amount of reward here.

They traded Thaddeus Young for a guy who was going to go in the 2nd round?

Apparently plan A was Thon lol
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

On the plus side, it's gonna be a lot of fun to hear Tommy say Guerschon Yabusele.

Somebody gotta paste Tommy Heinsohn's face on Fred Flintstone's body and have him shout that.

I'm getting the feeling that even if Davis drops to 23, Danny takes another draft and stash

Next year's pick is GOLD.

Doesn't matter the way things are going tonight. Going to be yet another disappointment next year with horrible picks and Danny being stingy and thinking he needs to blow every other GM out of the water in trades..

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 Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ty hasn't it.  Get a clue

Nets will probably take Lab, I doubt they worked out anyone for this slot
Nets take someone who was projected to go mid-second round. I don't know what's going on anymore.

Different positions, but what are the chances this guy becomes better than Thad Young?  Better hope they strike gold with that future 2nd rounder.

If his foot's okay, it's a great pick

That's a HUGE if, though
I'm bitter.

Ainge had Butler and screwed it up. Bradley is hurt often...Crowder blue collar

Next year's Brooklyn pick could be 7-10. Ainge dropping the ball.

Can't we still potentially trade Brown, Bradley, and 2017 BKN pick?

Just saying, it's not over.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.
