The Official SPOILERS 2022 NBA Draft Thread

[Tetsujin]

Chicago received a lot of trade interest in the 18th pick, but they're keeping Dalen Terry here, per source.

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

It's official, Grant was certainly available, haha. However, the space was the want from Detroit I guess. The Kings have some potential space but not enough and not TPE that big obviously.

Shams and woj don’t even know how to explain the Knicks stupidity in one tweet

LOL from the Knicks board

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

Like that young line-up

Watching these teams doing a grand audition of young guys to setup for the next stage, can't help to think we are really ****ed by the owner, Monte could do better if he has more freedom

 

[Sluggah]

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.

Limited risk. Understood, thanks. My Google search was unfruitful.

What? You mean you haven't tapped the Kings phone lines like sactowndog has? You're slacking!

Another good Memphis pick.

Hornets finally get their big.

Not sure who's coaching him yet though

Dont they have Kai Jones?

How good is Kai at scheming guys open on ATO plays?

San Antonio is selecting Malaki Branham at No. 20, per sources.

— Jake Fischer (@JakeLFischer) June 24, 2022

Such a Spurs pick. I wonder if they actually are moving Dejounte

 

[dude12]

Kings looking to move back into the first round, no word on what they are offering…..according to Matt George

 

[iowamcnabb]

Well I missed all the fun on the forum, but got to watch the pick. What’s the temperature in the room?

The Spurs have taken two of my favorite prospects in this draft. I really like both Sochan and Branham.

 

[Tetsujin]

Spurs picking Malaki Branham probably spells the end of Lonnie Walker IV in San Antonio. At some point you have too many guards.

Spurs will have about $32.6M in cap space if they just let Walker walk. (No pun intended.)

Denver has Christian Braun at the top of its draft board at No. 21, source tells ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 24, 2022

Wow. That's really really high for him.

 

[sactowndog]

Like Houston’s draft a lot with Smith and Eason as a pair of forwards to bracket Sengun.

OKC will be interesting with their picks and could be a boom or bust.

Detroit got the top ranked center and top ranked PG.

 

[Tetsujin]

I'm hearing the Sacramento Kings are trying to move back into the first round. No specifics on what pick or who/what they are making available.

Wake me when they actually make a deal, instead of try.

Prob Jovic or Braun, who just came off the board. Should just sit at 37 n hope Watson falls.

Jovic?

Moving up for Jovic probably would signal the end of Barnes's time in Sacramento. We'll see what happens.

Interesting...

Minnesota is landing on Auburn 7-footer Walker Kessler at No. 22, source tells ESPN.

Kupchack out here trading Duren for a nothing sandwich.

 

[Tetsujin]

Philadelphia is trading the No. 23 pick to Memphis for DeAnthony Melton, source tells ESPN.

Wow
