[gouki88]

Now I have to hate the Big Ragu! Screw Milwaukee lol

[celticinorlando]

A lot of good players still out there

Ten more to go. Someone please take Okogie

[Monkhouse]

The Philly trade is not a bad one... IF they can trade for some star also using that 2021 Pick. Otherwise... Bridges was the perfect fit for a team that needed shooting.

That Heat pick is going to be money... Heat have a terrible future once Dragic/Whiteside leaves.

NBADRAFT still getting it right...got Allen going 19 to atlanta

[tazzmaniac]

Danny, I'd like a trade up to take Robert Williams please.

I like that trade for the Sixers actually.

Get more assets, get a player who has good defensive upside because of his athleticism. Not a bad trade, especially with Miami probably heading to the lottery anytime soon as Dragic is getting older and they don't have anyone that can be as close to an all-star there.

Yeah, that trade was Ainge-esque sneaky good; I think that pick is gonna be really good as the current Heat core looks like something that will crash and burn in a few years.  And I don't see talent-wise much difference between Bridges and Zhaire

It’s scary accurate

Phoenix's future looking bright.

Jackson, Booker, Bridges, Ayton is a nice core.

Phoenix probably had the worst defense in the league. So they just are going to try to outscore the rest with Booker, Warren, Bridges and Ayton.

I disagree. I don’t think Riley will let them just crumble, and I see a considerable difference in terms of immediate impact between the two prospects.

It’s interesting how far down he’s going, but I agree with it.  I think he’s really had trouble guarding stretch bigs, and his offensive game is obviously limited.

[CelticsElite]

At this point we will be lucky to get Grayson Allen

[celticinorlando]

God please let bates Diop, Thomas, Williams, Hutchinson or Allen be there at 27

Please let someone take Okogie

The team is saddled with some heavy contracts and no promising young stars.  Riley is a slipper guy but I think he painted himself into a corner here
