Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread pretty excited regardless of what the blazers do today, the NBA landscape is rapidly changing
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread Andy Katz @ESPNAndyKatz Remember NBA draft followers, after 2 p.m. the draft order is set for tonight. So when trades happen, players will wear wrong hats.
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread Probasketballdraft @Probballdraft Draft note: Hearing there are several teams angling to move up for Doug McDermott. Kings pick could be in play for it.
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread Copycat league. Phil Jackson, Rick Carlisle (and even Spoelstra, if you think about it) are trying to fill their teams up with shooters. Stotts and McHale had pretty good improvements doing the same (though HOU was more in the "3's and dunks" camp while POR worked a lot of midrange). I think you'll see the "pure shooters" in this draft have a run made on them, whether or not they'd be normal picks in late lotto. Luke Babbitt's waiting by the phone at 12:01am July 1, poor guy.
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine Hearing: Toronto in hunt to acquire Memphis' No. 22 pick tonight's draft but would have to take back Tayshaun Prince via trade to do so Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine Potential swap would send John Salmons and No. 59 to Memphis for Tayshaun Prince and No. 22 and put Raptors in range to pick Tyler Ennis
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread probably an After-July-10 scenario....TOR doesn't have cap room until after the moratorium. Right now they'd have to take back 4.8M or so.
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine Update to potential Raps/Grizz trade: Deal would more likely send No. 37 with John Salmons to Memphis for Tayshaun Prince and No. 22 pick
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo The Kings appear poised to keep the 8th pick, sources said.
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA Joel Embiid's seriously in play for three spots in top part of lottery: 76ers (3), Celtics (6), Lakers (7), league sources tell Yahoo.
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread As far as the Blazers go..... I can't remember a more boring draft day. Not only do we not have any picks, we're not even hearing anything of real substance. I'm not saying something won't happen. But the rumors churning add excitement, even when nothing ultimately happens, it's at least entertaining. So yeah..... snooze away.
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread Olshey's MO isn't to blab much. How much warning did we have for Robinson and Lopez?
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread Well, didn't the Lopez and Robinson trades come out of nowhere? I don't remember much talk about either trade before they were consummated.
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread Clearly, you either didn't read my post and/or you didn't understand it. As I said, not saying something won't happen. But at this point, there's no real excitement. All the news is about other teams, so it's hard to stay engaged (I really don't care to follow happenings with other teams). It's just as well...... I have a shit-ton of work to get through.
Re: Official 2014 NBA Draft thread Yup. That's me. The guy with reading comprehension problems. Or maybe I was just making a comment on your post?
