Official 2014 NBA Draft Day thread

[Hobbesarable]

Probably not.

I wouldn't. Wes fits our team well.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Can we not post picks (before they happen) in here, please? I love the trade rumors, but I'm purposely staying off twitter so I don't hear spoilers of the picks beforehand.

Go to the rumors thread. This is the draft thread. We'll be talking about the actual draft here.

 

[RoyToy]

Would you give Wes Mathews up for Michael Carter-Williams in a trade?

No because the starting 5 is untouchable

What else would we discuss in here without discussing the picks?

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'm not convinced that Rubio and Lavine aren't worse than that Rondo/Smart backcourt at shooting.

 

[RoyToy]

I wouldn't. Wes fits our team well.

And that team isn't a contender, so who cares

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't get people treating the draft like it's an episode of Game of Thrones.

It's a draft.

Why do you care when you hear about the pick?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

LOL! Now MCW looks like a complete jackass! What a mental midget.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Gary Harris is slipping, would love to move up and nab him. Same with Adreian Payne .

Most mocks I saw had Harris in this area.

Explains the aflolo trade with orlando

 

[BrianFromWA]

how so? Are they talking about that right now?

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 1m
Atlanta will select Adreian Payne with the No. 15 pick in draft, source tells Yahoo.

 

[Natebishop3]

This is hilarious.

 

[BrianFromWA]

damn, giving up next year's 1st (probable lotto) to move up 2 spots for Payton? Gotta admit....Payton/Oladipo's intriguing.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Minnesota hasn't done themselves much good this draft...

Either have the Blazers.

 

[Natebishop3]

Either have the Blazers.

We don't need rookies.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I don't know....they got Gerald Wallace, who got them Damian Lillard. I'm ok with that haul so far.

[Mediocre Man]

We don't need rookies.

We need talent. A lot more talent

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Yeah, I don't like that argument.

We need talent upgrade and the draft is the best way to do that.

 

[PDXFonz]

Love the respect here

 

[Hobbesarable]

That was a classy move and wonderful PR by the NBA.

 

[Mediocre Man]

COMPLETE CLASS by the NBA there. Just wow

 

[3RA1N1AC]

LOL! Now MCW looks like a complete jackass! What a mental midget.

wha?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Yeah, I don't like that argument.

We need talent upgrade and the draft is the best way to do that.

FA don't choose Portland unless we overpay or they are out of options, so if the draft gets you the best talent upgrade, do it through the draft. If it's FA, then do it. If it's D league....so on

 

[ehizzy3]

nice gesture there

 

[Mediocre Man]

LOL! Now MCW looks like a complete jackass! What a mental midget.

Syracuse

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

What happened?

 

[MickZagger]

Classy move by Silver.
