IF THE PICK ISN'T OFFICIAL, PLEASE PUT IT IN SPOILERS!

From Gully State off-season thread.

Draft Prospect Sites
DraftExpress- Informative site. The guys that run the site actually go to check out these prospects at various different functions/tourneys

NBADraft.net- Not as good as the previous one but they've steadily improved since inception. They have a power meter for each player that looks like something pulled out of the back of a Marvel trading card from the 90's. Also their player comparisons often times are a bit amusing. Either way an entertaining read.

Draft Report by Reina-Christopher Reina is the Executive Editor of RealGM, gives reports on prospects and compares them to NBA players.

NBA TRADE RUMORS ON DRAFT NIGHT


DeMarcus Cousins Sweepstakes

Raptors shopping stars? Kotoch also reports that Toronto GM Masai Ujiri is "actively exploring" trades for All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry, former All-Star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan, and developing young center Jonas Valanciunas. Ujiri reportedly believes his team has peaked and is willing to "blow up" the roster.

Kings coach George Karl is interested in a reunion with Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson, SI.com's Chris Mannix reports.

Warriors Won't Trade Two First Rounders To Unload David Lee. The Golden State Warriors are attempting to trade away David Lee this offseason to save on the luxury tax.Lee is due $15.5 million in the final season of his contract in 15-16.The Warriors are prepared to trade away a first round pick to unload Lee, but teams seem to want more assets given his low value and what that level of cap space would be worth in free agency.

Spurs trying to move up? According to Alex Kennedy of BasketballInsiders.com, San Antonio has had talks with Oklahoma City about the No. 14 pick and is considering trading up.

Kennedy adds that the Pelicans, who have no first-rounder this year, are looking to move into the mid-late first round. Evans, Holiday or Gordon all available.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Y! Sources: Charlotte's shopping Cody Zeller hard for wing players. If Zeller gets moved, Frank Kaminsky will be serious candidate at No. 9.

Marc Stein-To that end also hearing that the Rockets are likely to try to trade Terrence Jones as part of today's draft proceedings

@WojYahooNBA: Memphis has agreed to trade Luke Ridnour to Charlotte for Matt Barnes, league sources tell Yahoo.

Will update as well if noticeable trade names come up.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Go wolves

 

[bigkrev]

I'm spending an extra 5 minutes praying each night for Sam Hinke not to take Porzingis.

 

[eBay Huckster]

hoping Cleveland can pick up a solid backup 3 or 1 at #24

 

[alba]

Jerian Grant, pls. (#22 for the Bulls)

 

[AgentChris]

Russell or Mudiay for the Knicks.

 

[soundahfekz]

Hoping Hezonja or Winslow fall to Pistons

 

[infiniteloop]

POOR ZINGUS. Interested to see where he goes.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Let's do this! Let the off season madness begin

 

[overcast]

Fuck da Lakers.

 

[Bowser]

Hoping Hezonja or Winslow fall to Hornets

FIFY

Spoiler

No chance

 

[Randolph Freelander]

The Hornets should settle on their guy, agree that he is the person that they should take, and then rule him out and draft somebody else.

 

[Caboose]

Isn't Okafor like the worst defender ever or something? Why is he so high valued?

 

[captmcblack]

Knicks getting one of Okafor, Mudiay or Russell (depending on if Porzingis is a late riser).

Ain't even mad.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

hoping Cleveland can pick up a solid backup 3 or 1 at #24

Tyus Jones at your service.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

GO LAKERS!!!!! LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!

 

[LyleLanley]

Give me WCS god damn it!

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

If we get Boogie, it could be an interesting season.

 

[soundahfekz]

FIFY

Spoiler

No chance

We got Drummond at 9.

Never underestimate the fuckery of the Knicks, they or Sactown could shake up the draft

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

 

[Bread]

Do it Danny! Do it all!

 

[Skiptastic]

Man, I hope Devin Booker doesn't come to the Pacers.

I want Cameron Payne first and foremost, but if not him, one of the PF/C options.

 

[illmatic22]

Take Russell. No thanks Porzingis.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Isn't Okafor like the worst defender ever or something? Why is he so high valued?

He can learn to be a better defender, but everyone agrees he's an offensive beast. He has 1004 different post moves and only 6 of them are arm bars, so he's going to help your team.

 

[Zhengi]

Nice OP. What time does the draft start?

 

[StriKeVillain]

If we (Sixers) don't get Russell I'm going to be heartbroken.

 

[ohhthegore]

LAAAAAAAAKERS!

 

[LyleLanley]

If we (Sixers) don't get Russell I'm going to be heartbroken.

I hope the Sixers end up with another center.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I hope the Sixers end up with another center.

Which available center already has a season ending injury, though?

 

[LyleLanley]

WCS apparently has some sort of foot injury.

"With the third pick in the 2015 NBA draft, the Philadelphia 76ers select..."

 

[Fjordson]

Hype!

Wonder who the Warriors take. We've gotten quality players low in the draft, so I'm hoping Bob Myers and co. can get someone solid.

 

[cubicle47b]

The 76ers only have 5 second round picks? I thought they'd stockpiled more than that.

 

[LyleLanley]

Hype!

Wonder who the Warriors take. We've gotten quality players low in the draft, so I'm hoping Bob Myers and co. can get someone solid.

I wouldn't be surprised if they use that pick to move Lee.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I hope the Sixers end up with another center.

Yeah, being a Philly fan I'm pretty much expecting us to whiff and grab the worst talent in the top 5.

 

[LyleLanley]

Don't worry, I'm sure Hinkie will draft the most talented European player that won't come over for half a decade.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

the Knicks though

 

[Triple Oceans]

Russell or Mudiay for the Knicks.

This right here.

 

[LyleLanley]

Knicks fans, why do you do this to yourselves? You'll get Kaminsky and you'll like it.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Can't wait to watch the Knicks fuck this up!

 

[StriKeVillain]

Don't worry, I'm sure Hinkie will draft the most talented European player that won't come over for half a decade.

Or that...

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Knicks fans, why do you do this to yourselves? You'll get Kaminsky and you'll like it.

oh lawd ha ha

 

[Fjordson]

I wouldn't be surprised if they use that pick to move Lee.

Damn, I didn't think about that. Oh well.

 

[B.O.O.M]

So Kevin Love has Opted out 0_o Didn't think he actually would.

 

[LyleLanley]

So Kevin Love has Opted out 0_o Didn't think he actually would.

He was always going to even if he ends up staying in Cleveland, which is still the most likely scenario, he stands to make $3M more by just signing a new 2 year deal with a one year opt out. Then he can make a gigantic amount of money by signing a 5 year deal with the new cap.

Would Cavs benefit from having him tho? I am honestly not so sure.

 

[LyleLanley]

Yes.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Would Cavs benefit from having him tho? I am honestly not so sure.

The analytics I can't cite at the moment say that in the back half of the season, the Cavs were virtually unstoppable with him, LeBron, and Kyrie on the court together, and it more than overcame any defensive shortcomings. Their differential was off the charts.

 

[Apath]

Yes.

After the finals this year, I'm not so sure. I think they would be better off using him as an asset for a big trade.

 

[HabeeNo]

LETS GO KNICKS

Bledsoe & Kaminsky hype leggo
