2016 NBA Draft Thread

[Granath]

Danny going to trade up?

Or are all those assets too valuable?

yes .....they are ......we certainly can t let a good 5 ft guard go undrafted or miss another FAT forward

Yeah, he looks fat to me.

He'd beat you silly and take your lunch money.

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

Mike

Can we just call him Yab?

YABA DABA DU!

Ahaaaahahahaaaaa!

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

I am now rooting for him just for this reason ...

I have something new to look forward to...how many times must I say it until my friends decide to punch me in the face lol

Hawks have to take Davis don't they?  Unless they know they are sure they can keep Horford.

[Snakehead]

If you are saying the last like 8 picks are reaches maybe you need to realize that the picks are all very even at this point.

[SHAQATTACK]

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..

I'm convinced Danny would not take the best pick next year if we had the no 1 ........

He is just that stupid.

[max215]

I'm going to be annoyed if Danny passes on Davis, Luwawu, Skal again.

[slamtheking]

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

Probably.

yup, probably still feeling stung by picking another top prospect that dropped unexpectedly in Gerald Green.

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.

After the last few drafts I have little to no faith in Ainge. He is just not very good at this

[jpotter33]

What a disappointing night. I think Danny has unrealistic expectations after some of his big hits with trades in KG and others.

[BitterJim]

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.

[wdleehi]

With all these highly ranked players still available do we think it is possible the "draft experts" were wrong in their rankings?

[cltc5]

Take skal

[LooseCannon]

With all the euros you would have thought we take a center. I just don't get the lack of desire from Danny to get bigs?? 

I think he is going to avoid low upside guys who project as almost guaranteed solid rotation guys with little star potential.
