The Official SPOILERS 2022 NBA Draft Thread

[Folsomkingsfan]

I still think this is a wasted pick but at least we aren't the Knicks.

 

[SacTownKid]

That's going to be a fun team. Lob city 2.0.

Wouldn't mind Monte going out and landing Stewart if they are done with him.

 

[NewArena]

Knicks are trading Kemba Walker to Detroit, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

damn how many guards do they need

 

[est.1999]

How is Detroit doing so much with so little?

 

[Tetsujin]

The Rockets are focused on LSU's Tari Eason at No. 17, per source.

Kemba and Hayes going to be fighting for backup minutes while CoJo still randomly plays 30 minutes a night next to Cade.

 

[NewArena]

Keegan also has better feel for the game than Bagley did too. Guy moves well off the ball unlike Marvin, who'd largely just stand in the corner when the ball wasn't in his hand.

He already looks 10 times smarter than Bagley ever did

 

[NewArena]

You're bashing the pick, but don't know the answer?

Interesting. If you've watched one keegan game or even one keegan video, you'd know the answer

LOL

Taking BPA on value and going for multiple cracks by using the valuable things that NBA teams have, like using middling franchises that want to win now, and the cap space you cultivate. The one time Vlade held onto his space he got Barnes. When he used it, it was on guys like Dedmon, Belly, Hill, and Holmes.

 

[sactowndog]

Am I the only one who has no idea what “middle manager things“ are? I can pick up on the negative connotation implied, but not sure I have the appropriate context. Bums me out that maybe everyone’s daily grind kinda sucks?

the point is Monte takes limited risk. For example we likely could have traded 4 for 5 and Grant but probably held out for Bey and got nothing. Yet another failed trade for Monte.

Houston has considered Eason the best defender in the draft, taken by his his ability to switch and play with aggression. https://t.co/hvnUoOrC7T

Not a ringing endorsement of Usman Garuba lol

I think Cojo's days are donzo haha. The Pistons next will put the cherry on top in FA at some point. Perhaps this season with Atyon. Cade/Ivey/Bey/Ayton. Yep, that's how it's done folks.

They're killing it. I don't even think they wanted Keegan. They just called Monte's bluff.

They already picked up CoJo's option.

no doubt that Monte got played by Detroit.. He should've traded down 1 to pick up Jerami Grant for a year rental.

With Smith and Eason they will have some great defending forwards to bracket Sengun.

Like that young line-up

Monte ain’t ready to play with the big boys yet

 

[NewArena]

I think he could probably gotten Grant and 5 but instead held our for Bey and got nothing

Or maybe we never wanted Grant. I believe that to be the case and im ok with that - such a Vlade move

 

[Sluggah]

Mine's quite exciting and fun.

Nice. If not from personal experience, what is the source of this middle manager sleight? Do you believe it to be common knowledge?

 

[SacTownKid]

They already picked up CoJo's option.

I don't think he's getting minutes over Ivey at this point. They supposedly like him, he can be a good Haslem type of guy.

What a surprise, you making up nonsense to bad Monte. You have no idea if Grant and 5 were available.

If you say so.

 

[NewArena]

Why? Especially if he feels Murray was always the best choice and will be even better than Grant at a similar position. Eh

 

[SacTownKid]

Or maybe we never wanted Grant. I believe that to be the case and im ok with that - such a Vlade move

Maybe but there was a lot of smoke last deadline. So far, some info is coming from the Kings FO. Rumors circled around Grant, Collons, Randle, and Sabonis last deadline.

Kemba Walker and the Pistons are expected to discuss a contract buyout that will allow him to become a free agent, sources tell ESPN. Walker landed with Detroit as part of three-way trade with Charlotte and New York.

[Rob-The-Great]

Detroit looking nice

 

[NewArena]

A lot of times it feels like people just want traded done for the sake of making a trade. This ain't 2K

 

[Tetsujin]

Chicago Bulls are selecting Dalen Terry with the No. 18 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, league sources tell @YahooSports.

They better hope he'll take a buyout

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings take the first player I did a full scouting report on this draft cycle in: Keegan Murray. All-around forward, was a first option at Iowa and the best defender on the team. Does anything that's asked of him. Love the fit in Sacramento https://t.co/PIYbVssJXf
