2014 NBA Draft Thread (No Spoilers You Clowns)

[Cellar-Door]

Who was the last player drafted in the first round who couldn't dunk?

 

[dcmissle]

'Look, Mike, that's exactly it. You're absolutely right. It's like they're headed in two different directions. Either trade for Love or deal Rondo. This is the worst possible outcome. They tanked an entire season for a point guard who can't shoot, they already have one of those! '

"And beyond that, Tony, Smart is a thug ... a thug. I don't care what the provocation is. You can't do that. He's not a kid. And like all the teams in town, the Celtics are so self righteous about character, so smug. But you won't hear it from any writer in this town, Tony ... Homers"

Kendall Marshall couldn't.

 

[pdaj]

Dammit, Shabazz is going to end up on the Heat.

 
Wish Danny could/would buy a pick here.

 

[Moosey]

I just ate a devil dog while drinking a gin and tonic. Good times.

With the next pick in the NBA draft, FarvinMoosey selects Pepcid AC

Tony, you are wrong. You mean GREEN TEAMERS!

Right, right mike!

Rather the Heat end up with him than PJ Hairston.

I think we can.

 

[Moosey]

Well played. Also, still a better pick then Bruno.

 

[mabrowndog]

Hood's a great pick for the Jazz. Really well-rounded player.

 

[mabrowndog]

Wish Danny could/would buy a pick here.

 
I wouldn't put it past him to work one of those deals like Nuggets/Bulls where Chicago makes the picks for their trade partner pending league approval.

 

[Greg29fan]

Shabazz and Kemba part deux

 

[Moosey]

Yes! Love this kid.

 

[Drocca]

Shabazz and Kemba.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Shabazz and Kemba, reunited!

Napier will be traded to the Heat according to source

 

[04101Seadog]

Would love to see Danny grab another pick in this range. Anderson, Early, McDaniels, Dinwiddie all would cap off a good night. 

 

[mabrowndog]

Shabazz and Kemba, reunited!

 
And it feeeeeeels so gooooooooood....
 
Awesome. No Napier for the Heat. Charlotte's having a great draft.

 

[Devizier]

I think this is as well as they could have done given the way things fell. Feel like something needs to happen with Rondo.

 
This is why draft picks are overvalued.

 

[Greg29fan]

hold the phone on that

Not so fast, unfortunately.

Andy Katz confirms. Fuck.

 

[zenter]

I'm drunk from playing the Bill-Simmons-says-"chip-on-his/their-shoulder" drinking game.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Oh boy.  He IS going to the heat.

 

[eddiew112]

I remember seeing Shabazz play when he was 13 or 14, it was clear he was something special then. What a journey for him
 
Edit: Going to the Heat, fuck

 

[Ed Hillel]

Awww, LBJ gonna be happy.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Fuck you Miami

 

[Moosey]

Balls.

 

[scottyno]

Kemba walker ‏@KembaWalker 51s

Heat will trade No. 26, No. 55 and a future 2nd to the Hornets for Shabazz Napier

 

[mabrowndog]

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt 7m
Toronto is working to acquire the rights for guard Tyler Ennis from Phoenix, per source.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Second this year, and a future 2nd.

 

[bbc23]

All it took was #26, #55, and a future 2nd, what the hell Charlotte.  

 

[RedOctober3829]

Fuck off Miami. I do not want to root against Bazz ever

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol

Probably be easier if they had drafted someone at 20.

 

[Moosey]

Damn me staying in state and going to Uconn. I love Shabazz, fuck.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Simmons is NOT amused.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

If the Heat got rid of Wade I would root for them

 

[Cellar-Door]

All it took was #26, #55, and a future 2nd, what the hell Charlotte.  

to trade down 2 spots in the mid 20s? What did you expect.

 

[Ed Hillel]

All it took was #26, #55, and a future 2nd, what the hell Charlotte.

They probably weren't going to take him anyway and will get the guy they want, so you can't really blame them.

 

[Drocca]

Goddamnit, I liked him.

 

[bankshot1]

I .love Simmons Heat HATE

A future 2nd, which would be 55-60 at best if LeBron returns to Miami.
 
In other words, the Hornets just gave him away for jack squat, while dropping to #26 for their own pick.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

So Charlotte didn't want him but knew they could squeeze a very little something out of Miami if they grabbed him.

Well, they fell to 26...from 24.
