Imagine being investigated for tampering for a player like Drew Eubanks.

What happens to the 2nd round pick they lost? Who does it go to?

 

[maxiep]

I'll take "Headlines I thought I would never see in my life" for $800, Alex.

What happens to the 2nd round pick they lost? Who does it go to?

No one gets it.
There will only be 59 draft picks next year.

Thanks. I guess since it is a late 2nd round pick it does not matter since a team does not always sign these picks. Wonder what happens if it is a first round pick. It basically means a player that might get a 2 year contract at the normal NBA scale does not get it.

Interesting.

 

[Paine Tablet]

I don't understand.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

No one gets it.
There will only be 59 draft picks next year.

And if Phoenix has the best record in the league, they can probably just sign the now-undrafted guy that they would've picked at 60.

 

[B-Roy]

No way they lost a pick because of Drew Eubanks...

 

[Wizard Mentor]

No way they lost a pick because of Drew Eubanks...

For Eubanks? No way.

For Shaq of Troutdale? Absolutely

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Is everyone happy for Nurk, or will we feel pissed off if he's better for Phoenix than Ayton is for us?

Even a good Nurkic doesn't fit our timeline anymore, which makes the bar a bit lower for Ayton—esp at his age.

[cdub503]

well least its good he didnt flop, cus from the back angle thats for sure what it looked like

 

[kjironman1]

What happens to the 2nd round pick they lost? Who does it go to?

No idea?

 

[Chris Craig]

It wouldn't go to us. Just taken away from Suns.

I know. But hey!

 

[Chris Craig]

I don't understand.

It just doesn't get used by the Suns or anyone. They will skip it in the draft.

 

[HansenYang]

Is everyone happy for Nurk, or will we feel pissed off if he's better for Phoenix than Ayton is for us?

Happy for Nurk.
He was under-apreciated.
He looks slimmer and quicker than he has in several years. I expect him to have a very good season.

 

[RR7]

Is everyone happy for Nurk, or will we feel pissed off if he's better for Phoenix than Ayton is for us?

Indifferent, bordering on annoyed that he was fat and out of shape the past 2 years, and now finally looks like he lost the weight we all wanted him to lose.

 

[Strenuus]

Is everyone happy for Nurk, or will we feel pissed off if he's better for Phoenix than Ayton is for us?

lol go figure someone takes one game of Nurk and asks a question they already know the answer to. But thats Rasta. Thats what they do.

You KNOW Nurk is inconsistent. So you KNOW this is a dumb question.

But thats Rasta.

Celtics are going to be hard to stop

 

[Predator]

Doc Rivers is gonna be brutal to listen to as a commentator

 

[bxb]

Mark Williams looks pretty damn good for Charlotte. He might have a breakout season in year 2.

 

[bxb]

Tyus Jones is honestly destroying the Pacers this is a good show he's putting on in the opener.

Its cool to see both Tyus and Tre Jones as starters this season, but for me, give me Tyus over Tre all day everyday.. Tyus is still the sharper offensive weapon..

 

[bxb]

Celtics are going to be hard to stop

I mean that is one hell of a starting lineup...

Porzingis
Tatum
Brown
White
Holiday

my goodness, the blazers helped create that monster hahaha but we got paid off n were in the west, so its whatever..... Porzingis is having his revenge on the Knicks right now though.. 15 points early..

 

[bxb]

Interested to see how the Max Strus Cavaliers era goes too... He's tough as nails n last years team, man they went out with a whimper..

Cavs got BRUTALLY bounced by the Knicks out of the playoffs... U know they gotta be focused going into this season, cuz that was a complete embarassment especially for Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, that bigmoney frontcourt kinda got punked by Mitchell Robinson n Julius Randle..

 

[bxb]

Teams are just so much better these days... especially the bad teams...

like back when the 76ers were tanking for Simmons and Embiid --- the bad teams in the NBA were so much worse back then... like when the sixers won 10 games in '15-'16, that team was putrid compared to the worst team in the league these days -- not even close..

the bad teams in the NBA are all kinda loaded these days if u ask me...


why I kinda get angry with some fans, cuz if u ask me these NBA teams are all sort of like all-star teams..

Suns lose their second round pick in the upcoming draft for tampering with Drew. Not even theirs because it was traded, but it is actually Denver's second round pick which they acquired through trades.

3 blocks in the 1st quarter for Ausar Thompson(detroit)p


I'm guessing people have a sort of Scoot vs (insert a thompson twin) attitude n understandably so after the draft season..


but honestly I look at our blazers roster n think "we could use one of those thompson twins too!" but i mean the cost in trade would be immense

 

[bxb]

well jonathan isaac looks healthy...

 

[bxb]

Cam Thomas with 24 1st half points in 13 minutes off the bench.. the nba is back!


Max Strus made 3 3's in a row for his new team that was a sick 1 minute of gametime sequence for a new player on a new team.. promising stuff.. he's built to hit those high pressure 3's been doing that since college.



I wonder what Ben Simmons stats are gonna look like end of the season... I wouldnt be surprised if Simmons grabs a ton of boards doesnt score much points n gets lots of assists n plays solid defense.. Not much of a Simmons fan but they have quite the roster composition there for him to influence with his versatility
