2016 NBA Draft and off season thread

Interesting to see Bender falling, he possibly could drop past Sac too if that's the case, can't really see him and Cousins working together

That's the same with every player they draft lol

 

[nichj99]

That's the smart way to go.

I could see Domantas be a Hawk if the falling Dragan Bender goes to Toronto at 9, Poeltl at 10 to Milwaukee and Deyonta at 11 to Orlando (all of this of course depending on who SAC chooses because they want Sabonis too)

Some mock drafts have us getting Dejounte Murray...

Yeah for sure it's crazy how much Benders stock has fallen so quickly. I think Toronto could fill their big man needs very nicely from 9th in this draft - not bad for a ECF berth

So I can't watch the draft live

I'm just going to self-ban myself from OCT while I watch the first round tomorrow night lol

Reports have us going after Furkan Korkmaz now... Who???

Unlucky, fingers crossed I can watch it live. Sounds like Celtics will be taking Dunn

when is it on?? aussie time?

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Simmons still favoured to go #1? Haven't really looked into it too much other than seemingly seeing him act like a diva and only work out for 76ers????? WTF

Coverage starts at 9am on ESPN

Reported that sixers have already told Simmons they are going to pick him. Simmons has also posted a photo of himself training in sixers gear with the caption "trust the process".

Pretty certain pick now if you ask me.

The Nets are back; they traded Thad Young to Indiana for the 20th pick and a future 2nd rounder.

 

[nichj99]

Frees up cap space for the Nets not sure they'll necessarily get a better player than Thad Young. Brook Lopez must be asking himself what he needs to do to get out of there lol

 

[nike1]

boston loves that trade,
they can swap picks next year too, so you'd think they will.

 

[nichj99]

Yep the nets should be picking in the 20's again next year. I guess it's better than no draft pick.

 

[adz2332]

no shock the aussie goes at 1...!

 

[warriors_man]

Not bad so far

 

[West Oz Cards]

Big Ben Simmons. #1 Draft pick from Down Under. Nice

This gon' cost me a fortune in cardboard next year.

 

[nike1]

bigger shock?
MAKER AT #10

i was screaming for chicago to take baldwin, but nooooo we took valentine,

 

[OutlawNinja]

Congrats to big Ben on #1 Draft pick !!!

 

[West Oz Cards]

Yeah, that's putting your GM balls on the line taking Maker at pick #10.

Happy for him and will be watching, but the dude is raw asf. Not to mention possibly older than first thought which leaves less time to develop his skills.

Needs to develop some weight first. Can't see him being able to bang at the 4 or 5 with some of the bulk specimens in the NBA right now.

Best of luck to him and the Bucks!

 

[Harsha_12]

WOW that OKC trade really?

 

[0kramrajnoc]

Three No.1 NBA draft picks were born in Melbourne. How good is that.
