2021 NBA Draft Superthread

We’re really going to end the night with Buddy, Bagley and Franz Wagner aren’t we?

I take back my “mildly disappointed” prediction from earlier.

Or a big gaping hole on the wing and another big expecting to put up numbers but benched for poor defense? I'll take option A.

Lakers fans on my TL trying to convince themselves their Big 3 is equal to Brooklyn.

Yeah right.... But the Nets have good role players, Lakers gonna have a bunch of scrubs

Nets just traded one of those good role players for a pick though

Winning now right into the 12th seed, BAYBAY!!!

Starting think this becomes one of those rare monster three to four team deals between LAL, Sac, Wiz, and Bkn.

Lmao can’t wait for him to wear out his welcome with LeBron and AD.

Imagine the 4th quarter meltdowns

Imagine the 4th quarter meltdowns

Westbrook just took his fifth three of the 4th. This one missed the rim wide right.

just close you eyes and imagine … somehow someway the Kings emerge from the smoke as consensus winners of the mega-deal.

It's continuing now with Bagley though. If not then sure, but it still is apparently an ongoing curse. And they were still all bigs based around the potential to get you production. None were defensive specialists, none were freak athletes outside of Robinson, who really wasn't and was still undersized. He was a 20 and 10 type, nothing more.

Marvin was and is far from a skilled big. And WCS was a defensive specialist and freak athlete. Bagley was certainly drafted more for his athletic potential than skill. Other than offensive rebounding (and maybe running/finishing in transition) he didn't have a single NBA ready skill.

Detroit is finalizing a trade to send C Mason Plumlee and the No. 37 pick to Charlotte for the No. 57 pick, sources tell ESPN.

This might take Charlotte out of the Holmes sweepstakes.

Also this is why you don't just sign dudes for the sake of signing players

I don't think Westbrook is good for the Lakers since both he and Lebron need the ball in their hands most of the time. Westbrook is just not effective standing around and watching. That's why he and Harden doesn't work in Houston. I think Hield is a much better fit for them.

They also have Graham and Malik Monk RFA to deal with. Do they let both walk?

 

[SLAB]

I like you well enough, Richuan, but every dollar that drops off that potential contract makes me smile.

Plumlee and LaMelo the new Shaq and Kobe!

Also, Charlotte is just a Marshall short of having the whole Plumlee collection!
