2016 NBA Draft Thread

[jpotter33]

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

Or what you said but it's the fans that have the unrealistic expectations.  A minute ago you were saying Butler was a T Wolf.

Um, no I didn't. Don't put words in my mouth. I said I'm going to be ticked if he's a Timberwolf on a trade of Lavine and Dunn. Get it right..

[RedClaw33]

Davis or a shooter.....

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.

I think he's the producer of Felger & Mazz

So probably naked and on cocaine right now

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.

Then email them or call them about it, instead of further slowing it down by whining about it

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.

you should be ecstatic.  Danny didn't pick your whipping by Bender.  of course it's not like you've stated who he SHOULD have picked but then people would be able to hold you to it when that player busted

How is Boston going to purge this roster? Hunter, Mickey, rozier, young

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

But but... a beat writer for the Bulls said it, so it has to be true.  That is like saying Sherrod Blakely is 100 percent accurate.  And we know that isn't true.

He's a producer for a radio show, so that's a given

[alldaboston]

About 4-5 good options here. Let's see what Danny does.

[slamtheking]

hmm, Sac gets the next pick.  must be Davis

[fairweatherfan]

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

Impossible.  It's the draft that has gone wrong.

At least they didn't ask for the TD garden ?

My Twitter sources are saying Chicago asked for an arena swap and a few one way tickets from CHI to BOS due to how many Boston players were involved in the deal. That was when Ainge decided to back away.

[Moranis]

Richardson

Tons of lottery type talent on the board.  Be nice to have 24 and 26 now also.

[max215]

Back on the clock! Tons of great options: Davis, Skal, Zizic, Zubac, Korkmaz, LUWAWU!!!

KC Jones is THE guy for bulls reporting. Comparing him to Sherrod is stupid.
