Warriors somehow not gonna be the smallest starting lineup in the league. They gotta start Simons too.

Simons for Cam Johnson RFA swap?

That makes sense in my head

They still have Cam Reddish too. Maybe the Blazers just try to get all the disappointing Duke forwards while they're at it and go for Jalen Johnson

Mike Epps night at Portland so they can take a picture together like Ja's dad and Usher.

JJ Reddick saying that the Blazers should bring in George Niang and that honestly sounds like the most Blazers move possible at this point. Good enough to be solid but not good enough to help them win haha

I get these aggregators are meant to be positive about these things but the Rockets are on year 4 of their rebuild now and still probably two years away from being good.

Thompson Twins go 4 and 5!

HOLD ME NOW

 

[Tetsujin]

Detroit continuing to assemble the biggest roster of nothing but centers and big wings who can't shoot and/or are Bojan or Jaden Ivey or Cojo. Jeebus.

Duren
Wiseman
Ausar
Cade
Ivey?

Athletically interesting. Basketball wise? I'm glad Monty already got his bag.

A buncha guys who run hard and talented on the ball and shoot generally well enough, they could set up Sengun high post and run DHOs all day like us with Domas.

A comment from the Rockets forum lmao:

You know what’s awesome about missing out on Victor & Scoot despite tanking for two damn seasons?……..absolutely nothin’………

They still have Killian and Bagley on this list lmao

 

[The Effort Police]

Sheesh, Detroit. There's only one ball.

 

[NewArena]

Detroit and Houston just assembling names at this point

The most Magic pick ever Magicked. Tall. Athletic. Good at defense. Can't shoot.

You must be feeling amazing if you’re the Thompson twins’ parents. Their drive and maturity is A class

Are you sure that's not Detroit's motto?

That's the third straight guard prospect that can't shoot for ****. Though in fairness Ivey is neither lengthy nor good at defense.

Love this from Orlando. Move on from Suggs/Anthony while you can still get something from them and I think Black fits so freaking good with that squad.

WOW WHAT

 

[Tetsujin]

Washington was picking right after them. What is going on?

WOW WHAT

Holy crap what!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Well that's a shocker

 

[Tetsujin]

Really wondering what the Wizards gave up to move up. And why.

I'd figure #8 and some of those billion picks they got in the past couple of days?

Jeebus what the hell

 

[iowamcnabb]

I bet they were worried OKC would trade up

 

[The_Jamal]

Really wondering what the Wizards gave up to move up. And why.

It's probably just 8+2nds right? I don't think any of their remaining pieces=pick 7 in value

 

[Tetsujin]

I guess the idea of trading up was to make sure that no one else traded with the Pacers to get Bilal but I don't think people were going to trade up for him instead of Jarace or Whitmore.

Woj broke his promise to not spoil the draft.

 

[The_Jamal]

Yeah, this is every indication the Wiz want to bottom out hardcore the next few years. Wow.
