2017 NBA draft game thread
- Thread starter Devizier
- Start date
Woj---KP return is one you'd think for Anthony Davis. Boston has backed away.
David Aldridge--Suns poised to use their pick.

There is a definite downside to assuming that draft slot if you want to sign a max FA though.
I absolutely believe we are because the fits are there.
* Olynyk is one guy who needs to be replaced as we aren't paying a backup big $14m per year and Markkanen can take those 2nd unit minutes within two years and probably be a better player than Olynyk by Year 3.
* Avery and Marcus have big extensions coming due and one is going to be gone. Rozier can slide up into the 3rd guard role while Dennis Smith can quickly take Rozier's old minutes by Year 2 while having the upside to become our 1 of the future.
After all of the nonsense with Porzingis I'm hoping Smith lasts to 8 and the Knicks take him.
Then I hope Dolan dies and somebody competent buys the team and hires a reasonable GM to navigate building a team around those two guys.
Suns are serious about Fox at 4. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/246425/Suns-Discuss-Eric-Bledsoe-Trade-With-Bulls-Nuggets
Have you guys ever considered that George isn't emptying his house for the purpose of putting it on the market but moving his "summer stuff" to spend the next couple of months at his home in California? Many NBA players spend their summers in their hometown away from their work home.
Wouldn't it be a net decrease for cap spending based on the player going out?
Could they still sign Hayward?
I have no idea what he's like behind closed doors but Adam Silver sure as hell puts forth a fantastic image when he speaks to the media. Consistently comes across as intelligent, thoughtful, rational, open-minded, and passionate. Dude seems like an awesome commissioner.
Chicago Bulls and Phoenix Suns have discussed a trade featuring the No. 16 pick and Eric Bledsoe league sources told Basketball Insiders.
Lebron James' moving van did foreshadow his move, but in that case, he was in control of the decision and therefore had advanced knowledge that he needed to move.
Dude has not been able to stay on the court, but it'd be two years at 15 million. He'd look pretty good next to D-Wade and Butler.
Kinda thought the Vertical cast would have more Woj and less sneaker talk, but I guess there's no way around filler on any of these shows.
Well yes, but featuring implies that the other pieces are of far less signifigance.
Sure, sometimes...or that the teams are still sorting out the other pieces or that the reporter simply doesn't know what they are yet.
Mannix says it's Tatum. NBADraft.net on Twitter hearing that Bulls may trade up to #3. Stay tuned.
OK fine. I still stand by the statement of "well damn" if the 16 pick is the major piece for Bledsoe
spurs want to shed salary for free agency so unless it's a 3 way deal where love goes elsewhere not sure how this makes any sense
