2014 NBA Draft Thread (No Spoilers You Clowns)

[wibi]

He might be a junior but he sure looks younger than the 19 year olds taken already

 

[Drocca]

76ers should be really fun.

They saw those hands and figured he must be a huge dick

 

[Corsi]

this kid looks 12

 

[Seabass]

A+ head of hair. Love it.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Woj had said Philly was considering Saric.  Would have killed their playoff hopes. 

He said they were taking him
 
He then went back and edited it out unlike Ford who admitted he was wrong.

MCW pissed off

We'd be trading him anyway

 

[Corsi]

why is mcw even there?

 

[wibi]

I havent seen him very much but he's a great player ...

 

[Steve Dillard]

Now says Payton may be on the move

 

[bowiac]

why is mcw even there?

Just to taunt him?

 

[thehitcat]

Yup fair play to Ford for owning up to it...though it's out of his timeline now as well. 

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Vonleh is pushing 250 lbs. "character issues" is a nice way of saying fat, lazy fuck.

Smart isn't pushing much less.

I disagree on Smart having an NBA body. He's got a Quinn Buckner body made for the NFL. Someone like Payton has an NBA PG body. That's a ton of weight that takes a lot of wear and tear.....ask Deron Williams and he's bigger than Deron.

 

[mabrowndog]

I'm a bit confused here. What is this thread for other than to discuss the ongoing draft? 95% of the posts since the draft started could be considered spoilers...

 
Congratulations on being the STUPIDEST MOTHERFUCKER ON THE PLANET.

 

[The Mort Report]

76ers should be really fun.

 
and really scary in 2-3 years if everyone comes back healthy 

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

Payton's Dad is a CFL HOF rusher for the Baltimore Stallions.

I do think he's best served dropping 10 pounds, even if he uses his strength well.

 

[Moosey]

How would people feel about Payne if he's available?

 

[thehitcat]

Boy this draft fell well for Orlando.  They took an athletic big in Gordon and Lavine is available at 12 which would allow them to move Oladipo to SG.  

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

"He can more than hold his own in defense"

Bilas

If you listen to these guys, they will all be all-stars

 

[Greg29fan]

Wally!

 

[RedOctober3829]

So do we hope for Warren or Saric?

 

[Drocca]

Jay Bilas says McDermott is a very good defender who can more than hold his own on that end.

Huh.

I'd be happy to get Deron William's first five years.
 
I'd even be happy if Smart turned out to be Quinn Buckner, who seems to be a pretty good comp. 
 
If the Cs resign Bradley (doubtful now but if they did), would the C's have the worst shooting backcourt ever?

Lavine's pretty far from being able to run point in the NBA.

Id love Payne or Saric. Can they compare white guys to any black guys?

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

DOUGIE MCNUGGETS

 
Doug Moe would have loved him (and vice versa I'm sure).

 

[Nick Kaufman]

Mcdermont is going to be a n nba champion at the end of the year. Wtf?

 

[DannyDarwinism]

How would people feel about Payne if he's available?

 
We already have a stretch four.  I'm hoping for Nurkic or Saric..

 

[luckiestman]

The next time they do it will be the first time

 

[wibi]

Mcdermont is going to be a n nba champion at the end of the year. Wtf?

 
End of his career not year

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Any idea or guess when we will start hearing about trades?

 

[bowiac]

Are trades spoilers?

The Nuggets acquire 16th and 19th picks from Chicago for draft rights to McDermott.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Exum jumping on those sponsorship and commercial opportunities fast.

 

[mabrowndog]

McDermott to the Bulls for 16 & 19.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Exum's rise is unreal.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

I like the self deprecating humor of Exum in those Foot Locker commercials.

 

[Stitch01]

Man that seems like a lot from Chicago

 

[Drocca]

Exum is a wise man.

 

[luckiestman]

 
End of his career not year

 You are correct in what he said but if he and melo go Chicago than Finals is possible

 

[Greg29fan]

Exum is a wise man.

 
Passed down from father to son

 

[Cellar-Door]

Saric going to Philly for Payton

[PaulinMyrBch]

The Magic select Dario Saric at No. 12 but will likely trade him to the 76ers for the rights to Elfrid Payton, @daldridgetnt reports

 

[circus catch]

So the MAGIC get Gordon and Saric. Damn.

 

[ifmanis5]

Wow, some reaches here are hurting us.
