Event 2018 NBA Draft

[Wizard Mentor]

He's going to pass on Doncic, allowing the Mavs to get him. Also, I kind of like the Kings, and this decision is stupid and will continue to mire them in mediocrity.

Doncic and many of the others have put it out there that they don't want to play in Sac. Bagley said he
wanted to play in Sac, so picking Bagley is somewhat of a no-brainer, as the other prospects are not
obviously better than him.

Kings wtf ??? Luka Doncic is sooo fucking good. I can't belive they draft Bagley

 

[Sarni]

Woj just couldn't help himself. So much for not announcing the order before the broadcast.

I hate it too. Ruined the draft last year.

The above Zach Klein tweet is VERY much in line with what I've heard as well.

https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2018/06/timberwolves-exploring-trade-down-from-no-20.html

The Timberwolves have looked into the possibility of moving down from No. 20 in the draft, according to Jon Krawcyznski and Michael Scotto of The Athletic. League sources tell Krawczynski and Scotto that the Wolves have talked to at least three teams picking below them in the first round about possible deals.

The specific details of those conversations aren’t known. Krawczynski notes that Minnesota may be either looking to pick up an extra selection, as we heard earlier today, or shed some salary. Krawczynski also cautions that the Wolves’ front office has a track record of making a lot of exploratory trade calls, so it’s unclear how serious those discussions might get tonight.

Here’s what will fix our roster...

If Mikal is there at 8 trade CJ/24 for Love/8

Draft Mikal

Take back Faried with our TPE for 14

Draft Huerter

Let Davis walk unfortunately, Pat too

Resign Nurk and Bazz

Nurk/Collins
Love/Chief
Mikal/Hark
Huerter/ET
Dame/Bazz

That’s our 10 man

KF, ML can get towels and water for those guys

 

[RR7]

If we got a higher pick with the Crabbe TPE, I'd consider 24 for Winslow

 

[Sarni]

I kind of got lost with the whole Atlanta select and then trade Doncic rumors. It’s too complicated.

 

[santeesioux]

If we could get the 14/15 pick with our TPE and combine it with the 24 to move up that far would you risk drafting Porter if he falls?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

and nbadraftgod's cred goes out the window. Harkless is not a "bad salary":

IT FUCKING BETTER NOT BE!!!!! WRONG VILLANOVA PLAYER, NEIL!!!

Here you are freaking out when you should know good and well that NO rumors come out of any negotiations NO is a part of.

I can't express enough how y'all shouldn't give credence to any rumor. You'll find out when it's done.

Absolutely. A free swing at a superstar? Without question. Even if you have to sit him all next year, you do it.

 

[Reep]

I don't really see it, other than both can/could sort of create their own pace and slow the game down. But Roy a more gifted scorer and more athletic (while he had meniscus) and Doncic taller and a way better passer.

I think it was that neither was considered a great athlete at the draft, both controlled the tempo and could balance scoring and passing, and used change of pace and position to score.

I'm just glad to hear they are active and looking to possibly move up.

Don't need to give credence, but it is fun to speculate and laugh at certain propositions. Find entertainment wherever I can, buddy!

That would be an amazing night and fix Olshey into Blazer lore forever.

Usually true, although we all heard about the Nurk deal beforehand...as well as the Afflalo deal. AND his infatuation with Zach Collins.

 

[AFully22]

MPJ dropping all the way down to 12 in some of these mocks has my mouth watering. The kid is a 1st overall pick talent and if all he needs is a “red shirt year” in the NBA then that might be the biggest draft steal in a long time.

That would be a travesty.

This is not true st all. When Plums was traded this whole forum was shocked.

I don't remember hearing about the Afflalo deal early either and I'm in here daily.

Links or it didn't happen.

There were whispers of Collins on this board before the draft last year. Just sayin

Didn't Paul meet with him, a la Damian?

No. Don’t think he even worked out for the team.

In today's multi media environment news people (sports, national or world news) are always eager to try and break the big story and will often throw crap out and hope they are right. If they are wrong it quietly goes away, people move on and nobody cares. It's unfortunate as it makes it tough on what to even believe. We have way to many media people and bloggers now days that want to get in on the action and try and make a name for themself. Even Wojo seems to have lost some of his ability to put out accurate information.
