Event Draft Day 2016: Rumors and Trades - 1st round

[illmatic99]

Fraschilla needs to learn how to pronounce gyros being such a big Euro dude.

Pun intended

 

[JDC]

If Skal doesn't go to CHI, I could see Olshey trying to nab the #16 for him.

 

[illmatic99]

 

[Chris Craig]

Come on Neil

 

[Rhal]

Cousins for Randle/Russel rumor is going to start up like wildfire now.

 

[JDC]

I don't think it's a great trade for Orlando but is having three big guys who can play too many? Seems fine to me..

He was the one out of the Euro C's that looked like he had a chance to be a starter, but I'm also surprised.

 

[illmatic99]

 

[santeesioux]

Would you trade Vonleh for Skal/the white guy Henry something?

 

[BonesJones]

This draft is crazy

 

[Pinwheel1]

As good as this trade was for OKC it could backfire bigtime since Oladipo can't shoot, Westbrook can't shoot that well and Kanter/Adams dont' really have great range. They may have a hard time spacing the floor.

Well if they now can keep Durant....they don't need their SG to shoot. Westbrook can shoot, but I agree he is more a scorer than a shooter.....which is just as good.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Something to consider: Orlando may have given up trying to turn Oladipo into a PG, and Hezonja might be their future at SG.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Denzel Valentine can play with Butler. I just don't think Butler gets moved.

 

[MickZagger]

Valentine's a nice pick. High IQ guy. Do it all type.

 

[Rhal]

Well if they now can keep Durant....they don't need their SG to shoot. Westbrook can shoot, but I agree he is more a scorer than a shooter.....which is just as good.

WB shoots under 30% from 3 and under 40% from 16f out. He is a monster against a D thats not setup and on the break but I could see a lot of spacing problems when only two people who can really shoot on the court are KD and whoevers at the 4.

 

[illmatic99]

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Wonder if the Big Greek means Boogie trade might happen. Seems unlikely, but...

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Denzel Valentine can play with Butler. I just don't think Butler gets moved.

Maybe it's just me but I think we're a little late in the draft to be talking about the picks replacing star players too.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Can we sign durrant and trade him for sabonis and picks?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Wonder if the Big Greek means Boogie trade might happen. Seems unlikely, but...

Boogie to Boston for Brown and some of their picks?

 

[MickZagger]

Maybe it's just me but I think we're a little late in the draft to be talking about the picks replacing star players too.

Draymond Green scoffs at that notion.

 

[MickZagger]

I think Paul's trying to talk Neil into drafting Hernangomez.

 

[illmatic99]

Oh boy

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Oh boy

Hahahahahahahaha that's gonna get deleted real quick

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Draymond Green scoffs at that notion.

That's stupid of him, since I didn't say anything about late picks not ever becoming stars.

 

[MickZagger]

Ellenson's a guy I really like. A really versatile 7 footer. Neil, lets do this.

 

[riverman]

I see PappaG got drafted by the Suns at 13

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Ellenson dropping...

Hernangomez rises to #15

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Remember when DraftExpress had Skal #1 briefly? I hope he got a screenshot...

 

[MickZagger]

Nuggets going to draft Hernangomez?

 

[illmatic99]

OK, we need to hire this dude to do the color commentary.
