2017 NBA Draft Thread *THURSDAY 6-22*

[Crystallas]

Cash, $3.5m. Which is a lot, but if 5 years pass, and Bell winds up being on an all-NBA D-team or two, that $3.5m is going to seem like peanuts.

Ben Wallace types don't draft high, but they are worth keeping.

I, like you, really like Bell. So this is a bit upsetting.

Maybe that cash is for Iggy.

 

[Crystallas]

I like Iggy. But I like 2011 Iggy. Not another past their prime player who is constantly checking the fuel gauge. What's next, Tony Allen? Rudy ***?

FFS, for cash? Which team is more needy of talent, Warriors or Bulls?

Without even seeing the considerable exchanged, you just knew the Bulls were going to get raped by the far superior organization.

wow. honestly last straw for me. A big market team selling a valuable draft pick for cash? The way the white sox are run, I can't give Reinny another minute of my time or dollar.

such bullshit. This is for teams like Utah and Portland that can't fill seats. I'm in disbelief, mother ****** just doesn't deserve our loyalty and emotion.

Well another outstanding draft from GarPax...and of course by outstanding I mean outstandingly awful.

We get it.

 

[Raskolnikov]

well,

I'd be more pissed about the 16 for 7 swap if Justin Jackson had lasted one more pick, getting taken 15 by the Kings and really ending the "might be best player in draft" tier of players.

Lauri is a valuable player, but I don't think its a very creative pick or has the upside potentially of a sharp shooter like Monk in the present league, who can create, dribble and stop ball.

I understand that Monk is a bit redundant with Dunn, but he is a much better shooter. Defensively it may have been an issue.

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

Despite having Dunn, GarPax were better off taking Dennis Smith Jr. at 7 and keeping Bell. You could've also argued for Donovan Mitchell at 7 as well. You take best player available and have a competition if you need to.
