2014 NBA Draft Thread - A Tradition Unlike Any Other (1 Viewer)

[BigSteelThrill]

Harris would be a good pick here.

Quality wing defender that can hit some shots.

Fits a need, can certainly be a piece you need as a team, but not a bigtime talent.

 

[modogg]

hmm, didn't see that coming

 

[pollardsvision]

Does this put an end to the Kwame Brown Bismack Biyombo era??

NEVER!

I'm curious how much it effects the chance to re-sign McRoberts. He might've been hard to re-sign anyway, and I assume this makes it moreso.

Between the 2 Hoosier PF's, one's going to need to step up in a big way. Obviously Vonleh's more likely (but I think Zeller's got potential).

 

[sporthenry]

Gotta be a trade somewhere.

 

[HellToupee]

world class hair on Payton

 

[hxperson]

Why pair 2 PG's who both can't shoot? I don't get it

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

If the Sun Belt POY is available at 1.10, you have to take him.

 

[Max Power]

That's a big backcourt. I think they move MCW

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Woah.

Talent >>>>>>> need in Philly.

 

[Kev4029]

Holy #### his mom has scary fingers.

 

[Max Power]

Seems like value has plummeted here unless you like McBuckets.

Bulls do!!!

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Julius Randle to Lakers?

Sheesh this league........................

 

[Billy Bats]

Why pair 2 PG's who both can't shoot? I don't get it

See you later MCW?

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Why pair 2 PG's who both can't shoot? I don't get it

They wont. Hinkle is known to stockpile talent. And then make moves.

 

[Juxtatarot]

Bulls would offer Nugs 16 and 19 here for McDermott.

 

[GOB]

Orlando and Philly should play with the widen rims or women's balls.

Fair is fair.

 

[sporthenry]

They are guaranteeing the worst record next year.

 

[MAC_32]

Sounds like a good but not special athlete that doesn't know how to play basketball.

didntget their tanking karma lesson this year?

 

[GOB]

MCW should be talking to a realtor not a reporter

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Two things NBA teams are convinced they can teach any draftable player:

1) How to add muscle through weight/strength training

2) How to become at least a competent shooter

With all the guys near the top of this draft who are either rail skinny or can't shoot, keep that list in mind.

 

[Kev4029]

Woah.

Talent >>>>>>> need in Philly.

Sounds like they might be trading him.

 

[pollardsvision]

Orlando and Philly should play with the widen rims or women's balls.

Fair is fair.

Don't forget Boston.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Yes, play Payton/MCW together. Neither can shoot.

What a trainwreck .....MCW not thrilled.

 

[Premier]

If the Sun Belt POY is available at 1.10, you have to take him.

Negatives: can't shoot

seems like an issue.

 

[Mario Kart]

MCW to the Bucks.

why again do the same teams continue to pick at the top of the draft?

 

[GOB]

Thank you, Denver.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Peyton sat at #8 at DraftExpress.

yes. karma is a real thing. i believe in karma as much as i believe Cle won't ruin Wiggins career because they are just a horrible franchise.

not a Cavs fan. Want to be one since I moved here, but as you said this team is run poorly. Tough to root for. So, take your bitter trash elsewhere, please and thank you.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Nice pick by Denver. Really thought Bulls might trade up.

 

[Kev4029]

I think the Nuggets might be flipping their pick, they don't need McBuckets and they still might be able to grab LaVine or Saric or maybe both.

 

[NutterButter]

Its official. Simmons loves every pick. He's the John Gruden of the NBA draft.

 

[sporthenry]

I think Payton is more likely to get moved but funny interview. How do you like Embiid on the 76ers and do you think you'll ever throw a pass to him?

 

[Gr00vus]

Levine might not be a bad way to go for Orlando here.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

McBucketts to the McNuggets.

 

[got_nugs]

Bulls would offer Nugs 16 and 19 here for McDermott.

i'd take it

Saric please.

Four of the teams in the top seven picks tonight made have played in the NBA Finals as recently as 2007.

Report: The 76ers are likely to trade Elfrid Payton.

 

[Kev4029]

I think that is where it is going. The Bulls and Nuggets have been talking and the Bulls really wanted him.

Bulls?

That's what I'm thinking.

could see Thad and Payton going somewhere together.

 

[Mario Kart]

McBucketts to the McNuggets.

Instant McDonald's endorsement.

 

[Mario Kart]

Saric please.

Isn't he signed in Europe for two years without being able to come over here?

 

[Premier]

Hopefully the Magic pick another guy who can't shoot.

 

[boubucarow]

Saric please.

Yes
