Besides Woj and Lowe, who else are you guys following on the Twitters?

A question: When does the ACTUAL draft begin? I mean the choosing of players, not the pre-event hype.

ESPN claiming Lakers are taking Russell. That does open up a potential Ainge move, if true.

Can you imagine if Okafor is sitting there at 3, the Knicks fans are going nuts, and the Cs trade up and take Okafor?

Cam you imagine being a sixers fan if that happens?

 

[oumbi]

What is everyone drinking tonight for the festivities? I have some very good, home made rice wine here.

I'd rather NY get Mudiay, so I'd be psyched.

Well with the price I would think it would cost to get #3, that might leave them with about 6 first round picks next year, plus a bunch more assets and such.
 
I can't imagine them giving up #3 without an absurd package in return

 

[bbc23]

Most experts have jumped ship and now have Russell going to the Lakers at #2.  Can't remember such a shift for a pick like this immediately before the draft. 

 

[RedOctober3829]

I'm trying to not get my hopes up w/r/t Danny making a splash.

 

[Fishy1]

Rubio, a knock-down shooter!

 

[the1andonly3003]

Jalen Rose, Jay Williams, Jay Bilas...so that's why they removed Bill Simmons from the Draft telecast

[Ed Hillel]

I've got a massive food spread on my hotel bed, a liter of Long Island Iced tea, and I'm completely naked. I love the NBA Draft.

FWIW, Chris Sheridan thinks Philly will pick Okafor and trade him to the Celtics.

Rich Gotham on TSH: Ainge still on the phones trying to move up but it takes two to tango. But if it doesn't happen we like players in our current range. Looking for BPA on the board. Wheels are turning.

Sheridan didn't write that article. 

 

[RedOctober3829]

Sheridan didn't write that article.

It's his website.

 

[Cellar-Door]

 
Holy shit is Porzingis tall.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Any chance Simmons livetweets this?  PLEASE DO BILL

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

It's his website.

 
I realize that. Does that mean he gets cited for everything on it? 

 

[Nomar813]

It's so odd to not hear a commissioner not greeted by overwhelming boos.

Thanks!

Stein says watch out for Celtics at 9.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Haha, Porzingas is great. Asked if he could go to dinner with any 3 people..
He answered, Rihanna, Jay-Z and Beyonce, we could double date. He's clearly NBA ready.

 

[mikeford]

Jon Givony says Woj got the call before Russell did. Gotta love that.

[Cellar-Door]

Is this Jalen's shoutout to Simmons? Player comps with guys who retired 40 years ago?
