HRB---what's the line on whether he beats out Frederic Weis as best French Knick draft pick?

Ousmane Dieng. This is where the thunder decide to start converting their future picks??????

Is there another tall skinny guy they can take at 12?

I wasn't a big Dieng guy but I just assume that means I was probably wrong.

The Knicks appear to have traded out of the draft altogether?

Or maybe got the last picks of the round, but man... I guess trying to open cap space?

i kind of like Williams, but didn't expect him to end up here.

Apparently Duren may be on the move, although multiple deals/teams being reported

Missed it what happened?

Dont know if Jalen Williams can play but I’m bigtime team Jalen after his interview. Seems like a Patriots type draft pick.
Granted it was just a dumb 3 minute interview, but he just didn't present himself very well in my opinion. I got the impression that he couldn't name a guy on the Thunder if they gave him 10 minutes.

I do think we are going to find out there are bad contracts leaving new York in the Thunder deal, and maybe even this second deal if true

I wish all sports draft days/trade deadlines were as wacky as the NBA

So a German vampire replaced David Stern as commissioner at some point? Like I said catching up on the NBA after about 25 years

So did Cleveland just draft basically a clone or Isaac Oroko at 14? I guess maybe he is a bit of a better shooter. He is also about 6 months older

Knicks fans in shambles until they get a full rundown of the return on these trades.

There has to be more going to Charlotte (or a dump from Charlotte), to trade the #13 pick in 2022 for what looks like a late 20s pick in 2025

Agreed. Supposedly they were trying to staple that pick to Hayward to dump that money and sign Bridges.

I know a bunch of guys who got +500 or better on Paoloat good money but we don’t have legalized sports betting here so through my locals they only kept draft odds up during the day. Best I got was +220 for relative peanuts but I’m sweeping rest of card so far thanks to one reliable draft beast on Twitter and a Discord group. Draft nights the past several years have been free money with the info ahead of the books.
