2019 NBA Draft thread

Pacers purchase the 32 pick AND get TJ Warren!!!???

Come on Vlade and Vivek wth didnt we make this deal???? TJ would fit well as our backup sf and there is some good talent at 32.

Disappointed

Disappointed? I'd rather see us spend our bucks on some quality FA. The grass isn't always greener, especially if you pull back and look at the whole lot.

12 mil a year for a high quality backup/fringe starter AND number 32 is pretty darn good. Id take that over rolling dice on signing a better backup SF, especially since its hard to see a better option at 12mil for that role

 

[PacMan]

NBAdraft.net was so shocked that they had Keldon Johnson on their website instead of Cam johnson

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Can't imagine how Suns fans feel right now, I have a lot of friends from Arizona who are Suns fans, gotta check on them.

 

[Gguod]

Not a fan personally. Maybe a poor mans Siakam.

To me the upside is pretty good so @12 or lower he would be a steal for me. We'll see though

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

PJ Washington just seems like he's going to be such a whatever pro player. I don't see this pick pushing Charlotte into relevancy but frankly what the hell do I know.

They should had to take a flier on Sekou.

At this point these 18 year old Europeans with his measurements are either biggest hit or biggest miss that can change franchise in a positive way, GM's gotta take those risks.

Especially Charlotte.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Where does Miami go here? They've got Adebayo and Whiteside so I don't see Bol Bol. They also have Winslow at SG/SF.

Maybe they grab Nassir Little? Or they take a flier on the European big.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Herro instead of Nassir Little. Not a bad pick, but Little needs to go pretty quick here.

 

[SacTownKid]

Keep crossing fingers here. There are a lot of reaches going on. This could benefit the Kings down the road.

Gimme this. There's gonna be some dudes available at 21.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Is Boston gonna grab Bol Bol with Horford otw out? Lol they don't need anymore talent.

I mean, I'd like #21, but if we can swing Steven Adams out of them, that's what I'm all about.

I'm somewhat hoping they found a baby skeleton in his knee or something. Keep dropping to 40 Bol! haha.

If we were to somehow end up w Adams I would wave goodbye to Willie and be happier than words can express. Imagine that brick wall under the basket ooooh baby.

Falls to 21, we get both he AND Steven Adams.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Ok good I don't like the Celtics and I don't know a thing about Romeo Langford so I'm happy. Detroit is grabbing Little here, book it.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

And the answer to the trivia question of who Jason Thompson and Carl Landry got traded for is: Romeo Langford.

 

[SacTownKid]

Good recovery Ainge. I like Langford a lot. Ainge and his staff know talent, good pick.

 

[SacTownKid]

He'd be a tough fit with this squad, but mutli-dimensional Indiana guards usually have some upside. Oladipo is a decent comp.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Good recovery Ainge. I like Langford a lot. Ainge and his staff know talent, good pick.

You know, I didn't like what I saw from him in Indiana, but allegedly he had a thumb injury, so maybe he works out. Apparently, he is NOT a talker. Nice 4 second interview there.

Yea and he looked super confused after the interview was over.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Apparently Ja Morant is saying he will not be playing in Summer League. WTH? He'd better be nursing a nagging injury. NBA has a product to sell here.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Pistons took the Frenchman. I was gonna say "good fit" but they have needs at literally every position, so anyone and everyone is a good fit for them.

Love it. Really good gamble on an upside guy, something they severely lack on their team.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Orlando is up. They're set at the 5 with Vuc and Bamba. They've got Gordon at the 4, and Isaac as a combo 3/4. Fournier is a combo 2/3, Fultz at the 1. Maybe they go Little here? But I've said "maybe they go Little" for like the last 5 picks soooo...

 

[kingsfan1984]

If vlade is truly interested in signing Deandre Jordan per Grants constantly talking about him, then Adams with a slightly larger contract plus the 21st pick makes all the sense in the world

 

[206Fan]

the draft is going exactly how I suspected it, aside from Cam Johnson and Nasir Little.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Ahh Chuma Okeke, just as expected...

Not sure where he fits on that Orlando team unless he's a rotation guy.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Man, Little and Bol are just free-falling here.

 

[Kings_of_California]

The Nets might get Little. Perfect fit for them and fantastic value. Wow.

 

[SacTownKid]

This is turning interesting.
