Exclusive 2015 Draft Day

@chadfordinsider: 2. Frank the Tank is on fire. Phil Jackson loves him. So does Vlade Divac. Michael Jordan won't pass on him at 9. 4-9 his new range.

Today will be telling if we are blowing shit up. If Aldridge is truly bolting, I expect major moves to get more draft picks. Or trades that obtain young players.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

@chadfordinsider: 1. Trades could dramatically shake-up the draft order. Lakers, Sixers, Knicks, Magic, Kings, Hornets, Pacers all talking trades

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

@ESPNSteinLine: Indicative of Houston's plans to get off money, word is both Terrence Jones and Rockets' No. 18 pick in first round are both very available

 

[Schilly]

That sounds like a Kaman deal waiting to happen.

I don't see what we have to trade if were really rebuilding. Maybe package Vonleh with the pick but I think I'd rather hold onto those two instead of moving up into the lottery to select one guy.

I always thought it was crazy that Dirk-light was pegged to go around #17. It amazes me how scared the scouts are of well-rounded, 4-year players.

@Probballdraft: Hearing Okafor's agent told the Sixers to pass on him if he's there. Still think the 76ers would grab him at 3 or field offers for the pick. =================

Ouch.

@KevinDing: I now expect Lakers to draft Ohio State guard D'Angelo Russell.

Damn I was hoping the Lakers were going to fuck up their pick and miss out on him.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I was hoping they'd draft Eddy Curry too.

*Okafor.

 

[magnifier661]

Russell will be the best player in this draft class. The fact that the Lakers get all the luck just absolutely irritates me

another indication LMA is goin to LA?

It's just baffling to me to think that Aldridge would rather play with a relatively unknown in Russell than a two time all star like Dame.

We've been talking about how the city would hate Aldridge if he left. But I can just imagine how Dame would feel-- and you don't want to be on that guy's shit list. He WILL make you pay.

If the Lakers pull Randle, Lin and change for Boogie, I will give up.

Russell, boogie, Aldridge and Kobe?!?! Wtf is this shit?!?!

That's an awful return for Cousins IMO, no way they get him that cheap unless Vlade is an idiot

Which is why I said "I give up"

I sure didn't see much from him when he played against the Ducks, and i don't think they had a guy playing over 6'8".

 

[Boise Blazer]

 

[MickZagger]

I'm telling you. I think Neil has a plan up his sleeve to get this Prozingis kid. He could be the next Euro great like Pau and Dirk.

 

[illmatic99]

ugh.

His whole workout proday shit is so reminiscent of Yi Jinlian's chair workout. The video was great, don't get me wrong. But the bust potential with him is just massive

 

[Natebishop3]

Yeah... who is the last Euro to really blow up?

 

[illmatic99]

Yeah... who is the last Euro to really blow up?

Giannis? Gobert?

 

[B-Roy]

Giannis isn't even that good yet. Personally I don't see him being that much better than Batum.

Gobert is good, but he's not going to be a two way star. Defensive prodigy and anchor for sure, but limited offensively.

 

[Boise Blazer]

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Pretty hard to care when the team you love is going up in flames.

 

[Blazinaway]

today has the chance to be one of the wildest draft days in history, for the league and the Blazers

 

[Rastapopoulos]

On the plus side, it might get Olshey fired sooner rather than later.

There continue to be rumblings about how the Jazz want to — and can — re-acquire Paul Millsap and might trade Derrick Favors, per my source.

8:22 AM - 25 Jun 2015

I'd take Favors as an LMA replacement
