Okafor played.Draft Day prediction.....
with pick 1.24, the Philadelphia Sixers take......... Chuma Okeke, Auburn
I know @caustic went with a different strategy, but as a Sixers' fan if there is one thing i know, it is that no 1st round pick (or at least first player selected in the 1st round) can play for the Sixers their rookie year. Or at least only play a handful of games. It i like the mystery of the cosmos, we don't question it, we have just come to accept it. The team is likely worried that if they break this trend something like a Joel Embiid injury will occur, so they need to keep the trend alive. better if the injury is already in existence so that they don't have to try and poison their rookie with allergic reactions.
I can see the rookie reactions now as the 24th pick comes up and they all run and hide, refusing to answer their phone. Should be a Game of Zones episode. this would be the 6th year in a row i think (Noel, Embiid, Simmons, Fultz, Smith)?
I'm sure they tried. Would be bad### if that came to fruition.genuinely thought NO would try to get to 3 for RJ.
im shocked, actually.
And another pick from Atlanta (protected cle 1st in 2020).Anthony Davis has turned into:
- Lonzo Ball
- Brandon Ingram
- Josh Hart
- No. 8 pick in 19
- No. 17 pick in 19
- No. 35 pick in 19
- L.A.' 21 pick if top 8
- L.A.' 22 pick if not
- L.A. swap in 23
- L.A.' 1st in either 24 or 25
And got rid of Solomon Hill's contract.
Suck it, Dolan!Loving the subtle dig at NY by ESPN.
Scrolling ticker says: NYN team needs... EVERYTHING.
Probably their only chance to get out from Dieng and/or Teague.???
Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
Minnesota is engaged in multiple conversations on the No. 6 pick acquired in the deal with Phoenix, league sources tell ESPN.

why would they need to get out of Teague?Probably their only chance to get out from Dieng and/or Teague.
and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. OofWow, forgot Mike Dunleavy Jr went #3.
yeah really dusty here---wow, glad for ESPN to showcase great dads instead of the past love affair with the idiot Ball Sr.#### ESPN killing these interviews tonight.
I'm not crying you're crying...
The press here is easy, he’ll be embraced no matter what.I really hope this kid Zion lives up to all this media hype or he's gonna be eaten alive. Every FN' year I hear the #1 overall player was the best talent since Lebron. I've yet to see anyone do it.
She's the new Roy Firestone.i guess maria taylor's goal is to make everyone cry tonight?
Not talking about NO talking nationally and fan wise. He's at a decent place city wise where the Media is low key.The press here is easy, he’ll be embraced no matter what.
Think the media is finally learning their lesson. You put a clown on you get a clown show.yeah really dusty here---wow, glad for ESPN to showcase great dads instead of the past love affair with the idiot Ball Sr.
YesWhy do they keep saying "proposed trade"? Because of the wait until July 6th?
Because technically the draft happens before the leagues NEW YEAR which is dumb. Just make the NBA draft the NEW YEAR or move the draft back and FA upIt's beyond stupid the NBA does not announce the pick with the team actually getting the player.
Yes, they should figure out a way to change this. I say that every year.It's beyond stupid the NBA does not announce the pick with the team actually getting the player.
Who do you want the Bulls to take?Because technically the draft happens before the leagues NEW YEAR which is dumb. Just make the NBA draft the NEW YEAR or move the draft back and FA up
I wanted Garland but if they can't get White I'd honestly trade back for more assets and take BPAWho do you want the Bulls to take?
I am curious to see if Zion is more of an alpha personality than Anthony Davis turned out to be.Looks good, sounds good, feels good. I like it. Pels need to figure out size and leadership but I’m actually excited,
Looks like they can get White. I would have been ok with Culver too.I wanted Garland but if they can't get White I'd honestly trade back for more assets and take BPA
