2017 NBA draft game thread

"How did it feel?" Drink.

 

[RedOctober3829]

The deal is #7, Dunn, and LaVine

 

[ifmanis5]

No question about the Celtics passing on you? So weak.

 

[Rook05]

Man, I wanted Fultz.

But I don't know anything.

 

[Devizier]

Decent face saving deal for Chicago. Like it a lot for Minnesota.

 

[slamminsammya]

I honestly wouldve thought theyd get more for Butler.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I honestly wouldve thought theyd get more for Butler.

That's a pretty good deal for Butler. Lavine appeared to be making a leap last season before getting hurt. Dunn is meh but seven gives the Bulls some more youth.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Yeah, Minnesota going to be really fun to watch next year.

 

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

I honestly wouldve thought theyd get more for Butler.

Me too

 

[JCizzle]

Going dark until the Celtics are up. Here's hoping for Tatum. Isaac if not... No Jackson.

 

[Cesar Crespo]

It sounds like a lot at first, but then it seems like a pretty mediocre haul for the Bulls. Guess it depends on your opinion of Dunn.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Windhorst says they're swapping 7 and 16 too. Nice job Thibs.

 

[boca]

Woj says deal agreed in principal for Butler to Wolves

 

[the moops]

LaVine folks. LaVine

 

[Sprowl]

Indeed. Jim Jones stopped being cool 11 years ago.

Jim Jones stopped being Kool 38 years ago.

I don't understand why spoilers are an issue here.

Forget about spoilers. Anybody reading this thread wants real time right now.

 

[The Social Chair]

Yeah, Minnesota going to be really fun to watch next year.

They just need a new coach. I'm not a Thibs fan.

 

[AimingForYoko]

If the pick we got from Philly don't move, I'm still a touch disappointed in the return for #1. Oh well.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

LaVine folks. LaVine

I edited

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Chad Ford says Celtics taking Tatum.

 

[RoDaddy]

Not a great player but Ball couldn't have a better guy to guide him than Magic

 

[Reardon's Beard]

HERE WE GO

 

[bowiac]

That seems cheap for Butler to me. LaVine has a bit of a hollow skillset.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Wow Minny getting pick 16 this year too? That's a steal.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Thank goodness, LA

 

[the moops]

If the pick we got from Philly don't move, I'm still a touch disappointed in the return for #1. Oh well.

I'm not sure what people expect for a return. There is zero chance that PHI, or anyone, would give up the potential #1 pick in the draft on 2018 or 2019.

 

[the moops]

Wow Minny getting pick 16 this year too? That's a steal.

Yea, nice job MIN

 

[Tony C]

Wait...Ball went #2? From reading SoSH that's an upset, right?

 

[scottyno]

3 months ago the Bulls wanted 2 picks that alone would have been much better than what they just got plus multiple players off the Cs roster, this doesn't seem like a great return

 

[Cesar Crespo]

That seems cheap for Butler to me. LaVine has a bit of a hollow skillset.

and the injury keeping him out til February. He should be ok but you never know.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Windhorst says they're swapping 7 and 16 too. Nice job Thibs.

That changes the deal. Minnesota wins.

 

[ifmanis5]

"How does it feel?" Drink.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Dunn is looking pretty shaky, and LaVine is interesting but a) injured and b) far from a complete player. 7 pick is nice, but doesn't feel like a ton of value.

 

[heavyde050]

I'm not sure what people expect for a return. There is zero chance that PHI, or anyone, would give up the potential #1 pick in the draft on 2018 or 2019.

Why was there zero chance? I am not really questioning the return, but I am curious why you say zero chance.
I mean the Sixers just traded for the #1 (not a chance at the #1) to get there super guard of the future.

 

[Average Game James]

That changes the deal. Minnesota wins.

Minnesota won even without the 16th pick...

 

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

Ball's delivery reminds me of Jeter

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

So glad dad isn't coming to Boston

 

[The Social Chair]

3 months ago the Bulls wanted 2 picks that alone would have been much better than what they just got plus multiple players off the Cs roster, this doesn't seem like a great return

It also hurts the market for the Pacers.

 

[ifmanis5]

Dunn is looking pretty shaky, and LaVine is interesting but a) injured and b) far from a complete player. 7 pick is nice, but doesn't feel like a ton of value.

I agree, Bulls blew it. Unless you love Dunn. Daddy Ball being crazy.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Wonder if Celtics wanted 7 to block this deal. Or to get Butler themselves.

Wonder if Chicago still believes in Dunn---otherwise, feels light to me.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

God I hate this guy

 

[Beomoose]

I think Papa Ball came.

 

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

Daddy Ball is so painful

 

[the moops]

Why was there zero chance? I am not really questioning the return, but I am curious why you say zero chance.
I mean the Sixers just traded for the #1 (not a chance at the #1) to get there super guard of the future.

Imagine the trade was reversed. Would you be happy giving up 2018 # 1 pick and 2017 # 3 pick to move up two spots?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Jesus

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

He is amusing. I cannot hate him.

 

[ypioca]

Those are the yellowest teeth I've ever seen on television.

 

[mikeot]

Here we go....

 

[slamminsammya]

man thats a terrible trade for chicago

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Chad Ford says Celtics taking Tatum.

Woj too.

 

[Reardon's Beard]

He's straight outta the Dubyah Dubyah Eff
