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

[BlazerCaravan]

CJ for Butler - would you do it?

Oof, that's tough. I'd rather have Butler as a SF with CJ and Dame. That'd give us the three scorers we'd need. Trading Cj for Butler feels like a vaguely lateral move.

 

[BonesJones]

We gotta try to get Butler without giving up CJ. Likely impossible but trading Plumlee for a 1st Round pick then offering Aminu, Vonleh, and 4 Future 1sts might get something done.

Not sure if this is posted yet:

Take Ibaka and Kanter off OKC's hands for cap space!

Bulls want the 2nd pick from LA for Butler.

That'd be a fantastic move for both teams.

LA would rather trade D'Angelo Russell for him but that probably isn't enough for Butler.

The important thing was at the end when he was talking to Bismack Biyombo and he told him "you'd look good in red and black."

Add Biyomob to CJ's recruiting list lol

"is that legal?" lol.

Idk why the Bulls would deal Butler... Just build around him, he is young and elite.

The Celtics have 8 picks, I'm giving us a 75% chance of landing one of them.

Donnie Nelson says the draft is "a little light in the first round, but heavy in the second round." Mavs expect to keep the pick.

Allen Iverson is emotional AF... His HoF speech will be great.

Apparently DraftExpress thinks Denver has a rule against drafting Americans.

(It goes without saying that I think they'd make out like bandits with that haul.)

they'll do anything to get Batum to NOT re-sign???

This trade is a humbling reminder of how few players after the mid first round turn out to be worth jack squat.

 

[Tunchi]

Damn Marco belinelli gets u the 22nd pick?

Good trade for Sac

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

If Belinelli can get the 22nd then Plumlee or Aminu can get us into the lottery...

(Not saying I'd do it...)

 

[e_blazer]

I wonder what Barrett and Rice would get you?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

stepping away from the computer to watch the WojVertical. Looking forward to a long boring night where we get a 2nd round scrub!

A foreign player whose name Mike Rice can't pronounce.

 

[Rhal]

No wonder Boston and the Wolves are having trouble trading the 3/5th pick because if the 22nd pick gets you Marco then even early lottery picks dont' hold enough sway to get an allstar caliber player.

Man.... Woj is one nerdy dude. I hadn ever seen/heard him. He was much more impressive when he was just known as Woj for his Woj bombs.

$22M for Whiteside is much better than $28-$30M for Howard.

I definitely would not go that high for Dwight
