NBA Draft Night, June 22, Live Thread

[schillzilla]

Is it still 2 minutes between picks in the second round?

 

[Ale Xander]

The move down only 3 spots to get another pick 5/8 spots later.
getting another lottery ticket

fabulous

 

[koufax32]

Someone photoshop a pic of Brad drinking OJ please. TIA

 

[Ale Xander]

So in the past 24 hours, #35 has become #34, #39 and two future seconds.

Yup

steal

 

[benhogan]

TJD & AJJ at 34/39 please

 

[bosockboy]

So Boston now has picks 34, 35, and 39?

35 went to Washington

 

[ifmanis5]

Brad is targeting Timmeh isn't he?

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

I like it. Double your chances on hitting someone by getting two picks. And essentially turning a first rounder that eliminates the mle into four seconds that don't require guaranteed money.

 

[Auger34]

listen, I'm not saying that they're going to take Nnaji and Vukcevic at 34 and 39 and make the radio guys' heads explode, but...... it would be both funny and totally defensible

Nnaji just went with the pick they traded to Charlotte

 

[RoDaddy]

So, someone like Semi with 31?

exactly...wait

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Comparing any second tier sports league to the NFL isn’t really fair. I don’t even watch the MLB or NHL draft so the NBA is doing something right.

Agree, but there‘s no reason for foot faults. The NBA can’t catch the NFL but they could take a page from their book and make the draft easier to follow.

 

[mcpickl]

Hilarious

The excitement level went way up last night when Boston moved up from 35 to 25, First round baby!, now they're right back to 34.

 

[Ale Xander]

Nnaji going 31 I think

 

[bankshot1]

Brad's looking to lock up the 7th round

 

[Ale Xander]

Great they traded down to see Tatum make the pick
——
Thanks CNN

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

This is becoming comical I love it.

 

[BigMike]

So Boston turned #31 into #34 and #39. Hopefully this puts Keyontae Johnson on to their board. He’s a pretty high floor guy. Potentially a PJ Tucker type.

Couple more deals, and maybe they can have all the picks in the 50s

 

[BaseballJones]

Andre Jackson please

 

[Jimbodandy]

As long as we get Joe Forte, I’m good

Too soon.

We get to talk about any good player taken between 25 and 31 for the next 10 years

This guy gets it.

The attitude in this city stinks and it sucks and it stinks!

This guy too.

 

[E5 Yaz]

We drafted a 60 year old catcher?

With terrible aim

 

[Cellar-Door]

BTW I really don't get the TJD love, he's gonna get ignored in the NBA, he's not just bad at shooting he's unwilling and not just from 3, just any jumper.

 

[Ale Xander]

Brad is targeting Timmeh isn't he?

McHale-esque footwork

 

[Auger34]

I’m hoping for Rupert or Miller at 34 and TJD or Vukcevic at 39

 

[OurF'ingCity]

So Nnaji is wearing a Pistons hat, ESPN has him next to a Celtics logo, but neither of those are the team he is going to. Lol

 

[luckiestman]

Couple more deals, and maybe they can have all the picks in the 50s

Can you trade picks from the 2050s. Is that part of the new CBA

 

[nighthob]

Jalen Pickett to the Nuggets.

 

[Ale Xander]

Pacers select Pickett on the way to Mike High

 

[oumbi]

TJD at 34 and a free lottery ticket at 39.

Sounds good to me. Maybe Vukcevic or Sheppard?

 

[luckiestman]

I have an idea for next year’s hats

 

[Auger34]

Sounds good to me. Maybe Vukcevic or Sheppard?

Sheppard’s gone. Taken by the Pacers at 26

 

[Jakarta]

TJD & AJJ at 34/39 please

Yes please

 

[Ale Xander]

Sounds good to me. Maybe Vukcevic or Sheppard?

Sheppard went 26

 

[Justthetippett]

I want Miller and Andre Jackson.

 

[Hambone]

NBA deputy commissioner always seems like one of the best jobs in the world.

 

[nighthob]

Leonard Miller off the board as the T’wolves tab him to back up McDaniels.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Miller goes at 33 and we are on the clock again

 

[Ale Xander]

Like backup QB

 

[Justthetippett]

NBA deputy commissioner always seems like one of the best jobs in the world.

I think he probably does more work than Silver.

 

[The Social Chair]

Does Brad get the "he would have picked ____ if he had kept the pick" articles that Danny got? Danny always drafted all stars with the picks he didn't have.

 

[JM3]

RIP the dream

 

[bosockboy]

NBA deputy commissioner always seems like one of the best jobs in the world.

Russ Granik nostalgia rush.

 

[teddykgb]

At this point I’m rooting for a 3rd trade for futures and for Brad to do his press conference in a hoodie

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I kind of liked Nnaji.

 

[soxin6]

I want Miller and Andre Jackson.

Nope. Miller is gone.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Miller goes at 33 and we are on the clock again

Not yet.

 

[bosockboy]

Not yet.

We are.

 

[Ale Xander]

Good place for Miller. Should get PT but not much pressure

 

[oumbi]

Sheppard’s gone. Taken by the Pacers at 26

Dang.

 

[ifmanis5]

Please trade down again.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I like the pick, a guy who wouldn't have been seen as a reach at 25 or 31

Edit- in fact he was one of the more common players mocked to us at 25 this morning
