[90sgoat]

Knicks cheering a pick probably means a bust.

Dumbest and worst fanbase by far.

[RoseCity07]

Knicks fans didn't boo? Guy is gonna be a bust lol.

[Manny98]

RJ Barret guaranteed bust :roll:

[bison]

“And with the number 4 pick of the NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers select...Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans!”

[oh the horror]

RJ Barret guaranteed bust :roll:



And so it begins. Every draft class

[90sgoat]

Enough with the crying lol:facepalm

[Bosnian Sajo]

3/3 cried

[ArbitraryWater]

whole top 3 crying up there man




LeBron gonna fukk these boys up :biggums:

[highwhey]

this class aint ready to play in a man's league :oldlol:

[ArbitraryWater]

#2 and #3 dads been tough on their kids

[ArbitraryWater]

lebron gon wipe these tears with some mean posters :biggums:

[Bosnian Sajo]

You have to understand these are real kids, and ESPN has their parents walking up glowing with pride on the biggest day of your life....of course you're gonna lose it lol.


I fully blame ESPN for these cry baby prospects :lol. I'd probably tear up in that situation too, my parents real ones.

[RoseCity07]

Lebron didn't have a father there with him on draft day. He was crying on the inside.

[Doranku]

Lebron didn't have a father there with him on draft day. He was crying on the inside.
:biggums: wtf bro

[90sgoat]

Lebron didn't have a father there with him on draft day. He was crying on the inside.

2/3 had fathers so far.

[RoseCity07]

2/3 had fathers so far.

That's my point. They're emotional because they made their dad proud.

[Manny98]

Jae Crowder lol terrible comparison :oldlol:

[highwhey]

chauncey's comparisons :roll:

[atljonesbro]

I’m very happy

[lilteapot]

damn Woj is having such a hard time talking now. painful to listen to

[Doranku]

damn Woj is having such a hard time talking now. painful to listen to

Absent from the panel rn. Prob throwing up in the bathroom. :lol

[LoneyROY7]

Chauncey's comparisons are atrocious. :oldlol: :oldlol:

[imdaman99]

I don't like the Jalen Rose comparison for RJ. Jalen was good but I thought he underachieved in the league. Should have been so much better and I'm a big Michigan fan.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Wtf is this guy wearing lol

[Proctor]

Garland's favorite player is Damian Chokeard?? :roll: :roll: :roll:

[LoneyROY7]

I don't see the Sexton-Garland fit at all. Two undersized guards.

[90sgoat]

That's my point. They're emotional because they made their dad proud.

They're emotional because they had gen x dads and not distant, emotionally cold boomer dads like my generation :cry:

[lilteapot]

Darius Garland is probably a closet homosexual.

[Manny98]

Garland and Sexton are a terrible fit both score first PGs who are trash defensively

WTF did Cleveland not draft Culver :facepalm

[highwhey]

wth is he wearing :roll:

[egokiller]

Darius Garland to the Cavs.

We did it!

What a time to be alive! :applause:

[atljonesbro]

Why is garland wearing a bath robe?

[LoneyROY7]

So RJ Barrett is Jalen Rose but THIS guy is Lillard??

Chauncey, man. :lol :lol

[LoneyROY7]

Imagine wanting to pair two 6'2 guards together.

[90sgoat]

4/5 had fathers.

A pattern is beginning to emerge.

However...

No. 1 has no father.

That no father fire burning strong.

[highwhey]

really wish suns would have gotten jarret culver but dario saric is a good pickup

[imdaman99]

I don't think this kid Coby White is any good. Maybe it's the hair but he sucked when I watched the couple of Carolina games.

[90sgoat]

Luka Samanic is still available, I hope the Mavs get him.

[LoneyROY7]

Cam Reddish really fell off the map.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Damn, hearing Rui talk :eek:


https://terezowens.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Screen-Shot-2019-03-22-at-7.41.54-AM-613x777.png

ja morant's gf fine
ty, fam

[highwhey]

chauncey continuing with the garbage comparisons :roll:

[Manny98]

Black + East Asia the ultimate combo

[90sgoat]

Wow Rui inherited all of Africa and none of Japan.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

chauncey continuing with the garbage comparisons :roll:
ESPN seriously has the stupidest NBA analysts in Pierce and Billups. Shaq is close, tho.

[scuzzy]

welp Zion's gone, 2-9 will prob bust, i've seen enough

Damn, hearing Rui talk :eek:


ty, fam
imagine him at a chinese restaraunt :roll:

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

imagine him at a chinese restaraunt :roll:
lol...

Just a bit jarring. It'd be like seeing a white dude w/ a legit Kenyan accent.

[highwhey]

suns picking cam johnson? who the fvck is he? we never even worked him out :facepalm

[lilteapot]

so suns just not gonna draft point guards?

[Proctor]

So who will the Spurs steal at 19? Goga? :banana:

[NBAGOAT]

Hawks know wat they

[Vino24]

Suns already tanking for next year with that pick :oldlol:

[highwhey]

so suns just not gonna draft point guards?
:facepalm traded away our best 3pt shooter on a great/cheap contract + 2nd round for CASH.

now we're picking some loser.

let your front office be ran by james jones brehs :facepalm

[Embers]

Any chance Phoenix take a player they actually need?

[90sgoat]

:facepalm traded away our best 3pt shooter on a great/cheap contract + 2nd round for CASH.

now we're picking some loser.

let your front office be ran by james jones brehs :facepalm

James Jones is drafting shooters for Lebron.

[imdaman99]

Suns should have stuck with the 6th pick. This kid they got at 11 is a terrible defender. But he can shoot.

[highwhey]

i'm so fvcking done with today

[Manny98]

Bol bol might fall to Brooklyn

[fourkicks44]

:facepalm traded away our best 3pt shooter on a great/cheap contract + 2nd round for CASH.

now we're picking some loser.

let your front office be ran by james jones brehs :facepalm

They gonna throw a bunch of money at TJ McConnell?

[NBAGOAT]

If you

[highwhey]

They gonna throw a bunch of money at TJ McConnell?
most likely. no one else is dying to come to phoenix, only way we can get someone to come is dangle a lot of money in front of them that no other team will offer them

[90sgoat]

most likely. no one else is dying to come to phoenix, only way we can get someone to come is dangle a lot of money in front of them that no other team will offer them

TJ might surprise you if you give him a chance.

[Meticode]

TJ might surprise you if you give him a chance.
Surprise me at what? Mowing my lawn at a reasonable price point?

[fourkicks44]

Surprise me at what? Mowing my lawn at a reasonable price point?

Perfect point guard for a young developing team

He is renowned as great practice player and pushing his teammates.

If the Suns sign him I'm jumping on the bandwagon.

[Kingwillball]

Hoorible pick by heat wow

[90sgoat]

Woooooooooooo

[Manny98]

lol Heat are dumb :oldlol:

[Meticode]

He looks like a landscaper to me. Great a mowing those lawns.

[RRR3]

Hoorible pick by heat wow
Why?

[90sgoat]

He looks like a landscaper to me. Great a mowing those lawns.

Sad for your bigoted views friend.

[lilteapot]

i already hate tyler herro. hate this ******.

[90sgoat]

Please control your bigotism friends.

It's not a good look for you.

[BasedTom]

chauncey gonna compare the one white dude to jerry west

[imdaman99]

Not high on Langford. He should have been so much better but he didn't try on defense and his shooting was poor. Not to mention the Hoosiers underachieved.

[RRR3]

chauncey gonna compare the one white dude to jerry west
Heat drafted the next Jerry West? :biggums:

We’re back baby!

[SomeBlackDude]

chauncey gonna compare the one white dude to jerry west

chauncey broke the wheel. :eek:

general rule of thumb- any player of the caucasian persuasion drafted by an nba team is the next larry bird.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

I can dig the Magic getting Okeke. He'll be out for a while, so he won't encroach on mins for Gordon or Isaac. Then by next year, he can start his development. In 2 years, he'll be ready to fill in if Isaac is somehow let go or Magic just decide to keep 2 of the 3.

[Embers]

I would have taken Doumboya at pick 4, so feel that is the steal of the draft so far

[HylianNightmare]

****ing orlando

[Manny98]

Lonzo
Nikeil
Ingram
Zion
Hayes

Damm David Griffin working his magic already for the Pelicans

[SomeBlackDude]

pelicans are gonna be a real problem for years to come.

this draft makes them DEEP.

[raprap]

Tyler Herro can ball

[Proctor]

Indy stole Goga :rant :rant

[90sgoat]

Goga and Herro both look like they could be steals at those draft picks.

[raprap]

Goga and Herro both look like they could be steals at those draft picks.
Yup.

[lilteapot]

Suns take home the biggest L from this draft

[bigkingsfan]

Spurs stalking 15 year olds.

[Manny98]

.more eurotrash

[raprap]

Nobody should question the Spurs

Samanic probably a future HOF :applause:

[Proctor]

Nobody should question the Spurs

Samanic probably a future HOF :applause:
:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[imdaman99]

No tats on this guy, already the most likeable Luka.

[90sgoat]

Lol, that's what to expect.

Spurs made sure to get the high IQ, high skill player in the draft.

If Spurs had gotten Saric or Kristaps they would both be much better. Honestly I think teams shouldn't draft euros unless they mean business and want to accomodate them. Mavs have the right idea. Spurs do too.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Goddam, I'm not sure who I like more in 5 years - Pels, Grizzlies, or Hawks?

Grizzlies may have the best duo in Ja + JJJ. Hawks will have just a buncha good young players surrounding a likely All-Star in Trae. Pels, well, it's obvious for them...

But those gotta be the 3 self-built teams of the future right now. Like ppl were thinking of Jazz, Nugz, and Sixers a handful of years ago.

[Manny98]

Plz Bol Bol or Little fall to 27

https://media.giphy.com/media/l1J9JaQx9K9wPKBa0/giphy.gif

[fourkicks44]

Yeah Thybulle :rockon:

I'm happy with that pick :applause:

[raprap]

There

[Manny98]

Thybulle fixes one of Phillys biggest weaknesses which is their perimeter defense

[Proctor]

Thybulle will be an absolute steal

[fourkicks44]

Thybulle fixes one of Phillys biggest weaknesses which is their perimeter defense

If he can improve his three he is going to be Covington jr.

Probably better.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Yeah Thybulle :rockon:

I'm happy with that pick :applause:
What are the details on the trade?

[fourkicks44]

What are the details on the trade?

Celtics get our next two picks I believe.

[SomeBlackDude]

[QUOTE=raprap]There

[fourkicks44]

More assets for Ainge to sit on :lol

[Wally450]

Undersized PF. Dude seems to have a motor though, which is good.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Celtics get our next two picks I believe.
yeah, got it.

Also, wtf Celtics? They already have TWO Grant Williams on the roster. They loading up on small wide forwards... :facepalm

[imdaman99]

Drafting a New Balance intern? :wtf: I guess OKC GM knows what he's doing :lol

[NBAGOAT]

Guess suns don

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Love the Kabengele pick for LAC. If they land Kawhi...my god...

And holy shit, GSW can land Bol Bol or Keldon Johnson at #28 :eek:

edit:
they pick Jordan Poole. Another SG to warm the bench along w/ Jacob Evans when Klay returns. :facepalm

Bob Myers is an idiot. Got lucky in landing KD. The true GSW mastermind was Larry Riley.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Really wanted Bol Bol

[imdaman99]

Poole is good. Glad to see him get drafted to a winning situation. He should get some burn next year, would love to see him start while Klay heals but not expecting that :lol

[Manny98]

Bol Bol on the way...

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Spurs doing Spurs things. :bowdown:

[imdaman99]

People pining for Bol Bol :lol dude has a low motor. When was the last time a low motor picked this late stayed in the league? :lol

[raprap]

Damn Spurs loading up with quality talent. :applause:

[FreezingTsmoove]

Bol Bol on the way...

Bol ....

[Proctor]

:dancin :dancin :dancin :dancin :dancin

[Manny98]

Looks like we're trading all of our picks

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

:dancin :dancin :dancin :dancin :dancin
LW4, Murray, White, Forbes, now Keldon Johnson. The talent of the backcourt youth is ridic.

[bigkingsfan]

Lets go Kings. 2nd round baby.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

2nd rnders I'm curious to see where they go:

Bol Bol
Claxton
Bruno Fernando
Gafford
Miye Oni
Tacko

...basically all bigs except for Oni lol.

[Manny98]

Wooooooo

[fourkicks44]

Wow could Bol Bol be Embiid's back up?

[imdaman99]

Claxton, another center that will get absolutely bullied by Embiid :lol

[Proctor]

LW4, Murray, White, Forbes, now Keldon Johnson. The talent of the backcourt youth is ridic.
My body is ready. :hammertime: :hammertime:

[fourkicks44]

The **** is this..

[RoseCity07]

Blazers got the steal of the draft and Dame dropped a diss track lol. What a day:applause:

[FreezingTsmoove]

I Feel bad for Bol

[Kingwillball]

I Feel bad for Bol

Would be a steal if lakers can grab him buying back into 2nd round..

[fourkicks44]

I Feel bad for Bol

Make you wonder what happened?

[raprap]

G leaguers getting drafter over Bol

Major red flags on his health i guess

[stalkerforlife]

NBA executive on Bol Bol: “No smoking gun. Frail. Entitlement. Etc.” Too many questions and nobody in Bol's background (multiple high schools, nine games in college) to advocate for him. At the point of the draft where NBA teams take Internationals… Bol may not be picked."

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Damn, I like what the Heatians doing w/ Bol and Herro

edit:
neverminddddd

[Proctor]

Don't watch college ball...is Bol Bol really entitled?

If so, sounds like a perfect clone of Whiteside

[fourkicks44]

For some reason I don't see Whiteside and Bol becoming friends.

[Proctor]

For some reason I don't see Whiteside and Bol becoming friends.
:lol :lol :lol

[bigkingsfan]

Serbia dude looks better than Luka :eek:

[fourkicks44]

That coverage sucked.

So hard to work out what the f(ck was going on especially during the 2nd round.

Even missing picks because of commercial breaks wtf:facepalm

[bullettooth]

Wow Rui inherited all of Africa and none of Japan.

Work ethic. Japanese are some of the most disciplined people on the planet.

[Manny98]

Nets easily got the steal of the draft with Claxson

Marks does it again :applause:

[FreezingTsmoove]

Don't watch college ball...is Bol Bol really entitled?

If so, sounds like a perfect clone of Whiteside

Gilbert arenas wrote on instagram he never wanted to work out with anyone in HS or College, and he walked out of 2 draft workouts...
