[CelticBaller]

Celtics, Ainge raped this team badly

[chips93]

tristan thompson is the big loser of the night :(

[WhySoInsecure?]

Celtics, Ainge raped this team badly

With Doc gone they probably wouldn't have even made the playoffs. Idk about taking on Wallace but they set themselves up for the future with all of the draft pick that they got.

[Zodiac]

Hawks have grabbed this draft by the ankles and taken it's lunch money

Nogueria
Schroeder
Muscala
Neto

And they just bought Ricky Ledo

[bluechox2]

we got tim hardaway, back from the dead!

Idk about New Orleans, I feel like 76ers got the better end of the deal.

With Noel, MCW, 1st rounder next year and other scrubs that they picked up in this draft, 76ers might just have won the night.

I actually agree. Turned one young asset into three.

[fsvr54]

I think the Wolves did great

[Le Shaqtus]

Magic did good with Oladipo, I'm glad we didn't pick Noel.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Charlotte and Boston lost big time imo

[daily]

I think the Wolves did greatThere's something you don't hear everyday :lol

[Le Shaqtus]

Charlotte and Boston lost big time imo

When does Charlotte NOT lose big time?

[SilkkTheShocker]

When does Charlotte NOT lose big time?


True. When you are in there situation, you need to swing for the fences. Zeller doesn't have Noel's upside imo

[Kurosawa0]

When does Charlotte NOT lose big time?

Yeah, if there was a team needing to go for upside it was Charlotte.

[Jax]

Heat pick #30 for Lebron =)

You're right. I should include Philly in the winners list as well. For me, NOP was a winner because they got LUCKY Noel slipped to #6. Who were they targetting prior to the draft? Burke? Basically flipped that and got an All-Star PG. Definitely a winner to me.

But yes, you're correct, i forgot Philly also got MCW and that 2014 pick.

[ProfessorMurder]

Brooklyn wins even without their solid picks.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Brooklyn wins even without their solid picks.

Agreed. They won the right to be better than the Knicks, but thats about it. Thats high payroll just to lose to Indy, Chicago, or Miami

Its just tough that New Orleans gave up next year's pick too. Then again, getting a young, all-star point guard for two first rounders is a deal most teams would make.

They should have gotten rid of Eric Gordon, let Noel take his time in rehab and shot for the stars next year.

I'm not convinced that they'll make the playoffs next year. (correction, there's no way in hell they'll finish higher than tenth in the west next year)

[PleezeBelieve]

Philly
Atlanta
Utah

All three were BIG TIME winners tonight. Changed their organizations in one 'weak' draft.

Detroit
Phoenix

Got perfect fits for their team. Pistons have overtaken the Cavs as the new young team to look forward to. They draft in a very pragmatic, common sense approach.

Losers:

Cavs - LMAO .. they have a franchise PG who doesn't play defense. No small forward. Two undersized PFs. And a PF who plays Center and can't stay healthy. After three years in the top 5 with FOUR top 4 selections, you really have to question what this team is trying to do from a philosophical, team aspect.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

Spurs.

They finally gonna get that number! :oldlol:

[d.bball.guy]

I think New Orleans and Philly both won. MCW was supposed to go to the Sixers even without the Trade, right? The Sixers got the better side of the deal but I still think the Pelicans did good too.

[bagelred]

we got tim hardaway, back from the dead!

Why couldn't we get Tim Hardaway AND Glen Rice?! :rant

[Patrick Chewing]

Whichever team finally landed that Roberson guy is the winner

[Fudge]

Whichever team finally landed that Roberson guy is the winner
OKC, i'm pretty sure.

[WayOfWade]

Utah won today. They finally got a serviceable point guard.

[Zodiac]

Do note that Atlanta accquired Jared Cunnignham in the trade and they are likely to S&T Josh to the Cs now that Pierce and KG are gone

[supe12sta12z]

The pick they gave up was not important if you analyze it. It was top 5 protected. So they won't be losing a Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Smart, or Gordon if they're in position to land them.

A core of Holiday, Gordon, and Davis is pretty nice. And they'll have Vasquez, Anderson, and Rivers coming off the bench. I think they did a solid job of taking a couple of steps forward tonight.

[hangintheair]

I like the Otto Porter pick by the Wiz. Kindly what they need. A first five of Wall, Beal, Porter, Nene and Okafor is pretty solid.

[andremiller07]

As a Kings fan I was hoping for either Noel or Ben Mac we got Ben Mac so really happy.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

For who?

Been saying this for a while, with a healthy John Wall and a nice, young, supporting cast around him, the Wizards can be a 50 win team.

[R.I.P.]

Mavs had a great draft. Worst case Larkin is a change of pace back-up PG. Best PnR PG in the draft and he gets to play it with this guy called Dirk Nowitzki. Then got Ricky Ledo in the 2nd round, who is unquestionably a lottery talent. If he wants this and gets his head right the Mavs have their SG for the next 10 years. Also Texas

[1~Gibson~1]

tristan thompson is the big loser of the night :(No he's not. Before the draft management already stated that we weren't looking to draft a starter. Bennett will likey come off of the bench and he'll be a great 6th man or 7th man imo. I don't like him as a starter though. He need to work on his lateral quickness and shed a few lbs. to defend SFs in this league. He'll get burned on defense against starting PFs too. Backup PFs? Idk, we'll see.

Well by getting a Jrue Holiday and not an injured Noel (who you somewhat redshirt), you ensure you're not going to be in that position anyways. I think you need to tank one more year. I think we blew our load too soon. We should have had patience for one more year.

If so then Bennett is a great pick. Maybe a year off the bench while working on his quickness and losing weight then maybe come back as a starting 3 for his soph season.
