What are the Pacers gonna do with the second round picks? Sell them off?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

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.

Washington doesn't need those two seconds, whatever they are. As don't-let-anybody-else-nab-him insurance, it's cheap.

Gafford
Bilal
Deni
Davis
Poole

Man. They might not score 100 this entire season.

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

No matter what they do Simons is gone if they can move him. He's been in every trade rumor for months. I can't imagine him staying unless nobody wants him. He'll be in Buddy after the failed trade space if he's back.

Poole out of Dray's shadow and the franchise that mistreated him, he might actually come back to form.

I really like Deni-Bilal as a wing duo but if Johnny Davis can't turn it around... Oooooooof

If Poole has an on night, he might break Wilt's record.

Hoooooo Whitmore is FALLING falling.

If Poole has an on night, he might break Wilt's record.

And at the same time become the first player to ever shoot 100 shots in a game to do it.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kessler
Lauri
Hendricks
Ochai
Clarkson?

Interesting starting lineup. Maybe they let Clarkson walk and use one of their other picks on a PG.

Teams apparently value shooting. Makes sense.

 

[The_Jamal]

Lauri-Hendricks-Kessler is insanely good. That might be the best 3-4-5 in the NBA in 2 years.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

It's the UCF commercial break!

No one told the Pistons.

 

[miltonap]

Am I the only one that thinks Coulibaly was picked way too high?

And also that the Wizards are doing something stupid now having three guards in Poole Jones and Bilal creating a potential issue in the future?

 

[SacTownKid]

No worries, they'll probably just sign Bojan to a 5 year max extension, lol.

Bilal's not a point guard in the NBA. He'll be a wing/forward depending on when he stops growing.

Listening to these interviews, seems like a good batch of kids for the most part.

Ok, I thought he was

OH WUT

 

[Tetsujin]

Don't like this for the Thunder if they aren't moving one of their guards in this trade.

Kids these days all got some kinda spiky-fro hairstyle huh...

Mavs shedding salary. Get a TPE. Move down to 12. And that's it apparently.

OKC now has Cason Wallace as their 4th/5th guard.

Are they getting 12 back? If that's all it took then maybe Monte can get out of Holmes' deal with 24 after all.

 

[Tetsujin]

Cason going ahead of Whitmore is a shocker though. I get the shooting concerns but Whitmore is a ridiculous athlete.

I guess the Mavs are serious about keeping Kyrie and bringing in Grant Williams.

Richaun Holmes is a veteran starter.

Mavs making some moves to make the West even tougher.

Depends on what they do with their cap space and if Kyrie ends up staying after all.
