DRAFT NIGHT 2022 Predictions | Draft Night Trades | More

[Driew]

Daniels is wearing Bazers colors... sorta. I dig the bowtie.

Looks like Spur colors to me.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I certainly don’t know what’s going to happen, but I do know that Portland is fielding and making calls. They are active. If Daniels is there at 7, expect madness

Makes me wonder if we see the Blazers draft Daniels if that could then point to a likely trade that will be announced later.

That’s possible especially since Toronto likes him evidently. He’s my main target though. Honestly I’d be happy with him sharpe or OG with the 7th pick. It’s gonna take a lot for me to be mad, but maybe they’ll figure out a way.

It’s gone completely dark. Hopefully communications later

Despite yesterday, my expectations are still very low...

So this is the draft thread?

Woj/Shams are gonna spoil every pick, dunno why espn allows it, makes the broadcast almost pointless.

I have never understood the "spoilers" argument about the draft.

It's news. These guys break news. I'm not understanding the disconnect here.

Agreed. But I also don't generally watch the draft, just follow along online.

Saw elsewhere, if OKC drafts Chet, new nickname for him and Poku. The Thin Towers.

 

[Natebishop3]

Agreed. But I also don't generally watch the draft, just follow along online.

If people really want to avoid spoilers, they can just watch the broadcast and avoid the web.

Think of buying a scratch lotto ticket and before you scratch it you found out if its a winner or not.
It steals the excitement of the moment.

So don't follow them. That's a pretty easy solution.

Simple solution: Don't follow twitter and watch the draft at the same time.

That's not really all that similar, IMO.

You're waiting to hear who goes where. Woj finds out and tells you. There's the excitement.

That doesn’t look anything like what is your colors to me.

 

[Scalma]

Simple solution: Don't follow twitter and watch the draft at the same time.

So ESPN either wants me to not follow one of their employees on social media or they want me to not watch their broadcast. Seems like there’s an even more simple solution than that.

Ding ding ding! Instant media is so overwhelming many of us forget we can simply unplug for a while.

Maybe I'm weird, but I hate scratching tickets and I'd love to know if it's a winner before I waste time scratching it

the draft broadcast is mostly to talk about all the hardships the players encountered in their lives. few tear jerkers here and there, fancy suits, and commentary about wingspan from Jay Bilas. It's on ABC this year, so I'm guessing they'll ramp up the tears.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

I think the context is the moment of the draft. People have draft parties for this event. To read it on your phone sitting at a red light three hours prior can suck.
Unless you guys are referring to tweets minutes before the actual draft callout?

For the record I am with you guys. Just boycott social media. Is very healthy regardless. We all need to fast from social media.

See, you are simply impossible to please!

I'd like to know before I waste my $$ buying it!

Hello,

Well then that would make this place pretty silent. No speculations, discussions of scenarios or anything. Where is the entertainment in that? Sometimes some mystery is required to keep life exciting?
With that said if, I had a winning lotto ticket iI would want to know the second I handed money over.

[B-Roy]

Uhh, so what the fuck does this deal look like?

 

[Natebishop3]

Bledsoe to Houston, Thybulle to Portland, Gordon to Philly?

 

[B-Roy]

Bledsoe to Houston, Thybulle to Portland, Gordon to Philly?

I don't think the salaries work that way.

 

[RR7]

Bledsoe to Houston, Thybulle to Portland, Gordon to Philly?

Philly has to send out more to match gordon.

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't think the salaries work that way.

I’m on my phone so I wasn’t able to check the numbers.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Bledsoe to Houston, Thybulle to Portland, Gordon to Philly?

Yes, that would be the foundation
