2016 NBA Draft Thread

[cltc5]

I hope it's a blockbuster night

Wow via David Aldridge, Denver tried to move up to 3, but thought Boston wanted too much.

i.e., Galinari.

I have zero interest in Galinari for #3. Eeek.

I d trade em Sully ......maybe

QUESTION: Does Ainge take a straight tie, or a Bow-Tie first?

I think it'd be 7 and Galinari to move to 3 for them. That's what I was thinking anyways, not Galinari for number 3.

Another tp!

Good news 

Now it's time to fleece Philly!

Great news. Didn't think Ainge was that stupid.

Thank god!!

Big load of my chest now, I was pretty sure Ainge wasn't that stupid..but there's always that hint of uncertainty.

Same.

Williams still saying Lakers should take Dunn not Ingram, because he doesn't trust Russell to be a franchise cornerstone. I wish he was the Lakers' GM!

Seriously... could you imagine if the Lakers actually pulled a 180 like that? I'd be jumping in the streets

They did it last year.  Everyone assumed Okafor would be going #2.

Yeah, he's letting them all know he is taking Dunn and you better make your best offer if you want him.

Pretty much this. Makes too much sense

I think Ainge gets burned by all this gamesmanship and we end up keeping way too many, if not all, of our picks.   

Teams don't want to help Ainge pad his GM resume.   Front office guys are competitive too.

Told Celtics and Philly engaging in last-minute talks for No. 3. We'll see who -- if anyone -- blinks first. ... Sixers really want Dunn.

So what are the final predictions, guys? Trade or naw? I think we end up doing the deal with Philly, but it's not a straight up trade for either Noel or Okafor, other pieces involved.

I agree but with the caveat that the trade might not be announced til after we pull the trigger on Dunn.

Just sit back and relax.  Remember, it's out of our hands.

It was certainly more.  That's terrible value.

I'm sure he means Gallinari and the No. 7 for No. 3 ... I would do Nurkic and the No. 7 for No. 4 ...

[jpotter33]

Kings trying to get Russell from Lakers. I'm guessing that's without Boogie, though.

I think Danny should still try the #8 and WCS for #3 move. Float it to them, Danny! Maybe they'll bite on the clock.

Chicago, Boston still talking about a Jimmy Butler trade, league sources tell @TheVertical.
