NBA Draft Night, June 22, Live Thread

[bosockboy]

Shams has it.

 

[nighthob]

So the final tally is #10 for Lively, OMP, and Richaun Holmes.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Huh?

 

[nighthob]

So Boston is trading back into the second round. What else are they getting for the pick flip?

 

[teddykgb]

Goddammit like a Patriots draft lol. Stay up and wait for this

 

[JM3]

Obviously they expect Miller to fall & the $200k savings will help them complete some sort of epic master plan.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Can I spoil this, I usually haven't cared, but since it's the Celtics I'm holding off

 

[nighthob]

Can I spoil this, I usually haven't cared, but since it's the Celtics I'm holding off

Go ahead, spoil it.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

At least we don’t have to wait for a day.

 

[bosockboy]

Any chance an actual player from Pistons?

 

[Ed Hillel]

It’s either that or we wait an hour for the coverage to catch up.

Celtics picked Sasser on behalf of DET, getting 31 back, not clear what else

 

[JM3]

Burks would be fun.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Pure salary dump? Thanks I hate it.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Go ahead, spoil it.

They took a long snapper.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Do the six spots make a big difference in terms of salary commitment?

 

[Justthetippett]

Stewart?

 

[BigSoxFan]

I can only assume we’re getting Cade

 

[cheech13]

So the Kings are going all in on Draymond Green?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Interested to see if there is anything coming with 31, is it cash, a future 2nd?
I was looking and man we are light on future 2nds, could use one.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Great, now what? Pick a safety in the second round?

 

[Auger34]

There’s no way they traded back 6 picks and got nothing in return right

 

[Ed Hillel]

Aha:

[Reggie's Racquet]

Can we draft someone from Rutgers?

Smith speculating it's to open up the MLE.

 

[Jimbodandy]

He's great on special teams too tho.

 

[ilol@u]

This is hilarious.

Answered my question.

 

[OnWisc]

We drafted a 60 year old catcher?

Any implications there for a Brogdon move either way?

 

[Ale Xander]

MLE, nice.

 

[bankshot1]

Was Brad looking for a guy from the Naval Academy?

Easily worth it if they nab a real player with this, imo.

 

[AB in DC]

Except Memphis made the pick? I'm confused.

 

[OnWisc]

We traded him for Haliburton earlier tonight. Didn’t you hear?

 

[bosockboy]

Trades aren’t final.

 

[amfox1]

Adrian Wojnarowski
@wojespn
28s

No. 31 and future seconds to the CELTICS.

 

[Ale Xander]

They obviously did a lot of research on who to take with 35 so this makes a lot of sense and Prosper is gone (not saying they would have taken him if available, just who I wanted)

Future 2nds there we go, probably smart if they think a guy they like will be there, cupboard was bare and future 2nds could help get someone in a Grant S&T.

 

[JM3]

There has to be more to it than that...a $5m player is all well & good buuuut...

2nds make sense I guess. Especially if they are the Pistons own.

 

[scottyno]

NBA is stupid and can't update the picks in real time, so memphis made the pick for boston who made the pick for detroit

 

[Ale Xander]

David Robinson Jr

 

[ifmanis5]

Is a lacrosse player avail?

 

[benhogan]

Beef Stew?

 

[nighthob]

Future seconds, if those are Pistons #2s, they could be rather valuable.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Except Memphis made the pick? I'm confused.

The NBA is super dumb in that they don't officially announce trades even though everyone knows they have happened so teams make picks for other teams all the time and everyone has to be coy about where the player is actually going.

 

[bosockboy]

Gut says TJD who they know will be there at 31.

 

[scottyno]

There has to be more to it than that...a $5m player is all well & good buuuut...

They moved down 6 spots in the middle of the draft, what were you expecting they'd be getting?

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Except Memphis made the pick? I'm confused.

Yeah the NBA sure is dumb with the draft.
Woj now saying future seconds coming as well. Sounds plural? I’m ok with that then.

 

[JCizzle]

Don’t remind me………it was a beautiful 30 seconds.
