Boooooo

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Every time they take the full five minutes for the first pick.

It's just silly.

It's always annoying, but I guess they could be fielding trade offers? Or hoping one will come in at the last second that will blow them away? I really have no more to say but don't know how to stop typing....

Is the ESPN panel being broadcast throughout the entire arena? I hate when networks do that.

What a weak year...

Irving is the least hyped #1 ever...

[ElcaballitoMVP]

Finally...

[bsj]

I hope people keep this crap year in mind when judging him down the road...he is not going to be a typical #1...actually, maybe compared to guys like Oden, that is good...

AP ... trade yet to be confirmed by NBA

The Bobcats agreed to send top scorer Stephen Jackson to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-way trade involving the Sacramento Kings that gave Charlotte two picks in the top nine of the NBA draft, a person familiar with the deal said Thursday.
In another sign of owner Michael Jordan’s rebuilding effort, the Bobcats were also to send the 19th pick and backup point guard Shaun Livingston to the Bucks. Milwaukee, in desperate need of added scoring, also was to receive guard Beno Udrih from the Kings.
Charlotte would get the No. 7 overall pick from Sacramento — it already owns the No. 9 pick — and forward Corey Maggette from Milwaukee.
Guard John Salmons would go from Milwaukee to Sacramento, which also would get the 10th pick from the Bucks.

Kyrie #1, Williams #2, Kanter #3, then the fun starts

[bsj]

This year seems like such a lousy year to be stockpiling picks up front...

[RedOctober3829]

The Timberwolves have already alerted Derrick Williams' camp: They're drafting him with the No. 2 pick.

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest wants to change his name to Metta World Peace.
Artest’s attorney filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday seeking the change.

World B Free was already taken

[bowiac]

I figure some of the foreigners will turn out to be stars by accident.

[Ahriman]

A wild Kahn appears...

[bsj]

Derrick Williams is about as good as a pick as you can make here...i think he gets dealt...

[SoxScout]

Already sick of Stuart Scott. Mute.

Do you draft Knight or Kemba at 4 and trade Baron?

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

Utah drafted a white guy?

[ifmanis5]

Do you draft Knight or Kemba at 4 and trade Baron?

No one is taking Baron's contract.

Do you draft Knight or Kemba at 4 and trade Baron?

You definitely try to trade Baron, but you only draft Irving and Knight/Kemba if you are David Kahn.

You draft Valunciunas and pray that you win the lottery next year.

[Ahriman]

Assuming the Celtics make a pick, is Butler the consensus choice at the moment?

[SemperFidelisSox]

"A poor mans Pau Gasol."

[ElcaballitoMVP]

Another PG doesn't make sense. Gotta go Val or another big.

[dylanmarsh]

WHOA!

edit: Tristan Thompson to Cavs.

[ElcaballitoMVP]

WOW, and there's your first shocker. Tristan Thompson #4 to CLE

[PBDWake]

Charlotte can't be happy.

[SoxScout]

I can't believe this guy went #4. This draft is so bad.

[nighthob]

Tristan Thompson? What the fuckity fuck fuck...

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

I can't believe that the Cavs didn't take Williams. Not inconcievable that they could have gotten both Williams and Irving anyways, plus Williams and Knight would have been a ton better than Irving/Thompson.

[bball831]

Love the guy, but he can't shoot a lick from the outside.

[pdaj]

The Cavs should have went with Williams #1 ..

[ifmanis5]

Microphone checka.

[ElcaballitoMVP]

Would love to see the C's try to pry away JJ Hickson from CLE now that they took Thompson. He's one of those guys who we could get with the trade exception and #25

[Carmine Hose]

Should've went Williams 1 and Knight 4 rather than this mess.

[bowiac]

#3 player overall according to Hollinger for what it's worth. Maybe Cleveland is gonna try the Houston route?

[ElcaballitoMVP]

Lots of rumors going around that Thompson could be on the move. A few teams really liked him. Could be Detroit so stay tuned...Cleveland might not be done

[bball831]

We'll see how good pick this is in 2015.

[RedOctober3829]

I say Cleveland is going to send Thompson to Charlotte for the #7 pick.

[PBDWake]

I say Cleveland is going to send Thompson to Charlotte for the #7 pick.

Or see if someone will take Baron off their hands with it, too. But question is who would they take at 7?

[bowiac]

I love it. Valanciunas says he's like Chris Bosh because they're both soft and weak.

[shawnrbu]

"How is your game like Chris Bosh's?"

"I don't know. Not so strong body. I don't know. I don't know."

[RedOctober3829]

Veasley is going to WSH according to Woj

[ElcaballitoMVP]

GET SOME JAN VESELY!

[SoxScout]

hahaha holy shitttttttttttt

[RedOctober3829]

I'd go with Leonard.

[The Social Chair]

The Jazz have Kanter, Milsap, Jefferson, and Favors now. I bet at least one of those guys is available.
