This is a good point. The scuttlebutt on The Vertical earlier by Woj was that PHX would deal #4 for best offer and it doesn't look like it happened.Also, don't we have to question some of those trade rumors since Phoenix also turned them down apparently?
Or not.Bulls wanted LaVine and #5 for Butler so Crowder and #3 would have definitely been in play.
Fuck Ainge.
I think the disappointment was that Dunn was rated just as higly or higher by many scouts and there was the possibility of moving him for other assets if you couldn't cut a deal. If they "got stuck" with him, they could use a true PG anyway or it would have freed up other assets to move. Brown seems like he's here to stay and there's a big boom/bust cpaacity.I'd call Brown a surprising pick. But like 4 days ago he was a popular pick around here. The Colangelos want Dunn, and all of the sudden he's the slam dunk #3 guy in this draft?
That was fantastic. "Trust me".Terrific D'Angelo Russell commercial.
LaVine literally has a fuckton more upside than Jae.Bulls wanted LaVine and #5 for Butler so Crowder and #3 would have definitely been in play.
Fuck Ainge.
This is true. He will also never be as good a player as Crowder is right now.LaVine literally has a fuckton more upside than Jae.
Are telling me that Ainge couldn't have made some minor trades to beat that offer?Or not.
You assume that Chicago was correctly valuing LaVine. Perhaps they way overrate him like another team might overrate, say Brown.If it's true that Chicago wanted LaVine and 5 for Butler I am even more upset at Ainge. You really couldn't beat that?!?!
That trade had nothing to do with Telfair.Not too thrilled. Seems like a huge reach. To be fair Ainge did trade for Telfair. Other than the Nets trade, Ainge has not been stellar on draft day.
EvanFitzgeraldFox32 seems like a good source
You absolutely give up Crowder for Butler. WTF Danny!!
He... Might have. Did you hear the Woj interview?Did Dunn just say that his dead mother is looking up at him?
So she must have gone to hell?Did Dunn just say that his dead mother is looking up at him?
This is also true.This is true. He will also never be as good a player as Crowder is right now.
Well, we've got our 3 for the future (assuming that Wyc means no trade will follow), so we need big men. Will Skal fall? He's got tools, and like Brown, a disappointing freshman.Okay, who do we want to fall to 16?
Yeah. Literally she is.Did Dunn just say that his dead mother is looking up at him?
This can't be true. It would be insane.
You absolutely give up Crowder for Butler. WTF Danny!!
I want Sabonins, but that is heavily based on childhood worship of his father when I was growing up. Young Arvydas was astonishing.Okay, who do we want to fall to 16?

Because the Suns may have wanted him too?If they liked Brown for themselves, why not trade down? That's the part that I don't get.
There goes Buddy.
I'm 100% sure there were other pieces we don't know about.
You absolutely give up Crowder for Butler. WTF Danny!!
Likely means they REALLY liked Brown. I just hope they are right.If they liked Brown for themselves, why not trade down? That's the part that I don't get.
There goes Buddy.
No guarantee he's there. 3-8 is really volatile. PHX might well have taken him at 4If they liked Brown for themselves, why not trade down? That's the part that I don't get.
There goes Buddy.
If that Sixers reported offer is true, then fuck off Wyc.Adam Kaufman @AdamMKaufman 8s8 seconds ago
