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

[NutterButter]

Like the Spurs pick. 6' 9" 230 is a good frame and he likes to pass. Unselfish player.

Perfect fit for the Spurs; can pass and hit open 3's.

 

[HellToupee]

Inglis would've been perfect for the Sixers

 

[MAC_32]

If Griffin picks Early I may finally get on board...for at least a few days anyway.

I hate you.

DavidtheAdmiralKyle Anderson! Welcome to a great family! Most fortunate guy in 1st round.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

NICE! KJ McDaniels.

Decent stroke and great defender.

 

[Insein]

Hinkie guy. Freak athlete and plays defense. No one will score on Philly in 2 years.

[Captain Quinoa]

Wanted Early, McDaniels or GRIII for the Cavs. All still available. Which means they will probably take Tavares.

I don't think you want gr3

He's raw but he's a good athlete and can shoot. Prefer Early though.

very very very inconsistent. Scores in bunches then turns worthless for two and a half games. Very frustrating player,

Gotta tear it down before you can build it up. Much better than overpaying Igudola, Thad and Lou Williams types to make the 8th seed every year.

Sure. Knew some would be upset but Simmons just said it best. Be really good or really bad. Now I do wonder when ownership makes them get guys to sell tickets.

wouldnt surprise me if he was at every game, everyone I tuned in he was there

 

[MAC_32]

Can he shoot?

 

[Insein]

Joe Harris stays a Cavalier.

 

[Captain Quinoa]

Harris? Meh.

 

[MAC_32]

Allllrighty then, apparently he can.

They go hand in hand...

i didn't watch much of them before March, definitely didn't stand out, don't remember him. Trust the numbers?

until shortly before Chris Grant was canned that's all he did.Edit, and all he tried to do

 

[pollardsvision]

Sixers can't get too carried away with the stashes. They are drafting most of their starting lineup here in the 2nd round.

 

[Britney Spears]

Please don't let Napier go to the heat. Someone else pick him.

Please do. I want LeBron to be happy so he signs with the Heat so LeBron and Melo don't sign with the Rockets so the Bulls are still in the running for Melo.

if I were a Bulls fan I would not want Melo.

Agreed, to me, Melo isn't going to ever take a team to the top. Weird that so many see him as kind of a detriment to team success when he came out of college as the rate true freshman that led his team to a title.

But aren't the Bulls already in this conversation with a healthy Rose? The only thing they seem to lack is another deadly shooter. If he buys into The Butchers system and Rose is healthy, thats a team that can win.

has Melo ever bought into a system? He does his own thing, that's the problem.

Before signing Melo - Tibs should look at George Karl video when Melo was there and video of Karl after the trade - two totally different people

Uh, cancer?

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Didn't love or hate the trade but didn't think the 34 would get a player like Early, trade looks better now

Well the Rockets focused on assets and it worked for them. Would have worked for Cavs if they drafted better.

 

[NutterButter]

Why the hell would Anthony stay with the Knicks? They are going to be terrible.

 

[pollardsvision]

Can't believe the Mavs gave away this pick so that they could land Felton and Chandler

not convinced that Barnes and oladipo would be that much better than waiters and Bennett. Somewhat better? Yeah. A lot? No. Team is too young, that's the problem going all youth.

Kansas City Royals.

Kansas City Royals.

Not a baseball fan. Is this the Royals year? I recall them doing well a few times in recent years early in the season and fading miserably.

Valencia's or Drummond were the picks the cavs wiffed on. Irving needs a pick n role partner.

And they went into the Waiters draft with 4 picks and came out with Waiters/Zeller. Thought they could have tried to get Beal. Then you also have them trading for Deng which isn't acquiring assets.

 

[pollardsvision]

Damn, there goes Grant.

CHA still needs to trade up.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Turned draft off early.

How the F do the Spurs end up with Kyle Anderson?? Did the rest of the league not just see how huge of a difference the versatile Diaw at the 5 did in that series?

But keep trotting out your stiffs at the 5 league.

 

[ffldrew]

Do the Nuggets only have scouts in Serbia/Croatia/Bosnia?

 

[ffldrew]

Wow - this guy is huge

 

[Northern Voice]

Looking forward to Bosh opting out and returning to Raptors

 

[pollardsvision]

Wow - this guy is huge

Don't know how people hate Simmons: "Could he open both car doors at the same time?"

I said shortly before he got canned, not until he got canned.

 

[Insein]

This really is the Sixers starting lineup for 14-15. But its also going to be a really good bench for 15-16 and beyond.

 

[MAC_32]

Russ Smith is a very good pick.

 

[ffldrew]

Do they have enough space on a jersey to put that name?

 

[Insein]

Russ Smith is a very good pick.

And hes gone. So what did we get therr anyone see?
