Also if Boston pull off Porzingis, Phil will probably never set foot at the MSG again.


Okay, Phil is just looking to get fired if he lets Porzingis go to Boston - within the division. But then they're doing some wild shit. They fired Porzingis' favorite asst. coach, Josh Longstaff, after the end of the season. The Knicks are so fucked up.

Great move by new Hawks GM, Travis Schlenk, who comes from Golden State. You get decent center in Plumlee, shooter to make up for Korver in Bellinelli and get rid of Dwight Howard.

Plumlee is not decent, he's dead weight. He owes 47 of the 52M contract to Giannis for making him look decent.

Probably why every mock draft has Atlanta drafting a center. Anigbobu from UCLA, the likely choice.

Tomorrow night should be the more interesting Draft in years. I'm expecting massive trades and a few surprises. I'm not 100% sure LA are gonna pick Ball, just a feeling I have.

It is interesting draft - I think it's deeper than some think. It will be interesting to see how these guys do next season. Will D'Andre Fox be a better Elfrid Payton or a poor man's Derrick Rose?

Man, I have no idea what Orlando are gonna do. I mean a small part of me wants to trade to get an experienced player but that's not gonna happen. I'd like a 3 if I'm being honest.

In general I mean.
The big story for the Bucks is that Monroe opted in so the core stays the same for another year and the draft becomes a bit irrelevant. I can see them going for a high risk high reward type of player like Ferguson because they just don't need a center right now, unless of course they somehow trade him.

The Knicks just told the Celtics they'll trade Porzingis for 3rd pick, Jaylen Brown and Jae Crowder.

Phil is on some strong medicine these days.

If the Celtics can't present a package with all the assets they possess now for Porzingis I really don't know what to say.

There's a daily show on ESPN called the Jump with NBA reporter, Rachel Nichols, and current and ex players. Today was Paul Pierce. They couldn't understand why Porzingis would ever be offered. As Nichols said, hitting it like they did with KP doesn't happen very often. Do they really think they're smart or lucky enough to do it again?

Shit, draft the point guard from No. Carolina state and build around those guys.

Kruse is looking down laughing, saying "it's not as easy as you thought, eh Philip?"

Jimmy B to the wolves. Did not see that coming. No idea what to make of our pick to be honest.

Times are a changing. Every 6'10 to 7 player is being judged on if they can shoot the 3. Crazy when you think about it.

Fucking great! Isaac is a stud. Could be pick of the litter. They had Ivan Raab too, which would've been nice, but sent him to Memphis. 2nd round pick, Iwundu, from KS State is nice too.

Dubs got exactly the guy I wanted, Jordan Bell from Oregon, Pac12 defensive player of the year, and got Oregon's best player, Chris Boucher, who had terrible injury, as free agent. Dubs loaded with young bigs: McAdoo, Looney, Jones, Bell and Boucher. I wonder who will stick?

Portland and Sacramento did great in draft. Lakers too- Ball, Hart from Villanova and Bryant, young center, from Indiana. The Butler pick up reminds me of when Iguadola went to Warriors. A veteran presence helped raise win total by 20. Iguadola knew they were team on the come. Thibs does too with Wolves.

17 freshman in first round. Two upper classmen.

Yeah the pundits last night said that it might be 2 and done starting next year or the year after.

I saw Joe Dumars talking about it this morning. He said people are recruiting AAU games of 8th graders trying to build up a knowledge archive vs. seeing kids three years of college experience. Warriors - Steph was senior, Draymond, senior, Klay, junior. These guys were drafted as men, not boys.

You're drafting three or four years into the future, just as their rookie deals are ending and you hope they re-sign. Kinda crazy.
