NBA Draft Night, June 22, Live Thread

[SemperFidelisSox]

Troy is the Cooper Manning of the Thompson family.

 

[luckiestman]

This telecast blows. Am I watching the wrong thing? Is there an analyst show or is it all Oprah or Mike Wallace style bullshit.

 

[bosockboy]

Twins go back to back

Tom and Dick Van Arsdale are turning over in their graves.

 

[Ale Xander]

Woooo Pig Soooie!

Magic draft Anthony Black

The analysts are great. It's the player/family interviews that suck

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Magic with a really interesting young core.

 

[gammoseditor]

Someone on twitter made the point, it’s wild that Shams is being paid by Fanduel and also tweeting out rumors to move markets and increase bets.

The tweet.

[Ale Xander]

6 picks in and no college players other than the SEC have been drafted yet.

 

[Remagellan]

Portland continues to make very weird roster building moves. Scoot was the right pick there to be sure, but they can’t roll out that backcourt

In fairness to Portland, they have a rough history when it comes to not drafting a guard because they already had a guard.

 

[bosockboy]

Suggs definitely available.

 

[luckiestman]

That’s what I’m talking about. Is there a version with no family couch talk?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

People though gambling involved in sports would be 100% on the up and up?

Nobody is surprised when a dog shits on the carpet, but we all don’t just accept it.

I thought the same thing, I literally had to triple check to make sure I wasn't on the alternate ESPN2 feed or something.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Are we doing spoilers here? Shams is reporting a trade on the next pick.

 

[BigMike]

Suggs definitely available.

Probably, maybe Fultz

 

[bankshot1]

That’s really messed up.

Sounds like a potential multi million $ market manipulation and a felony.

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Okay, the Wizards are straight up inept.

 

[zak1013]

I'm in NY where they don't allow betting on anything other than things that happen in actual games (so no voting on MVPs, draft picks, etc.), which is annoying, but...this is the reasoning behind that part of the law.

Right. If it involved a publicly traded stock rather than a draft pick, you’d be worried about hearing from the SEC.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Wow! That's a riser. Coulibaly at 7

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

All World Moss.

 

[Ale Xander]

Pacers grab Bilal

That's 2 French guys and zero non-SEC college players so far.

 

[Just a bit outside]

I’m watching The Athletic NBA show reaction. Not great but has 4 of their guys talking about each pick.

 

[nattysez]

They're either trading Dame or Scoot.

youtube or athletic app?

Traded to Wizards

 

[slamminsammya]

Wow! That's a riser. Coulibaly at 7

I think it's right though. His athleticism is crazy

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Going from France to Indiana.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Shams had the full deal---Woj does not.

 

[JM3]

Wizards didn't acquire 27 2nds to not use them I guess

 

[luckiestman]

Youtube

thanks man

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Going from France to Indiana.

After all, he could always move to French Lick.

 

[Ale Xander]

Pacers traded to Wizards for Walker (to be drafted) and something else?

 

[BigMike]

I’m watching The Athletic NBA show reaction. Not great but has 4 of their guys talking about each pick.

I'm just watching Vecenie with Coach Spins

 

[cheech13]

Bilal was the guy that every draftnik seemed to love going to into tonight. Could be a steal at 7.

 

[IdiotKicker]

Going from France to Indiana.

French Lick is ok.

 

[Ale Xander]

(Wizards select Walker to be traded to Indy)

 

[BigMike]

Bilal was the guy that every draftnik seemed to love going to into tonight. Could be a steal at 7.

It is possible, i guess it is best he is going to a team that is going to be tanking the next 3 seasons either way. He might be a steal, but it's gonna take quite a while

Indiana gets Walker. AWESOME pick. Love this kid

 

[ifmanis5]

Is it me or does the font for 'pick is in' is looking a lot like 'dick is in?'

 

[Ale Xander]

killer smile on Walker

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Wow, he gave his NIL money to the walk on players. That’s a bro.

 

[BigSoxFan]

It is possible, i guess it is best he is going to a team that is going to be tanking the next 3 seasons either way. He might be a steal, but it's gonna take quite a while

Indiana gets Walker. AWESOME pick. Love this kid

Yeah, he’s a really intriguing player. Haliburton, Mathurin, and Walker is a nice young core.

 

[Cellar-Door]

It is pretty funny that a team had the no doubt #1 pick and the #7 pick in the NBA draft and go swept in the LNB Pro A playoffs.

 

[bsj]

So insanely stupid that the NBA cant do what the NFL does and find a way to make the trades in realtime and let the correct teams make the picks.
And then they let the player knowingly wear the wrong hat.
It's so ridiculously dumb

 

[Cellar-Door]

Zards sent one of their own future 2nds and one of the future 2nds they got in the Paul trade for Coulibaly

I like gambling. But if you are gambling on draft picks, get some help.

 

[OnWisc]

They can run it back next year. Pretty sure those guys are both draft and stash.

At least Washington is trying to be different. Better than shooting for 40 wins every year.

 

[Rusty13]

Thank God for this thread. The ESPN live draft coverage is absolutely awful this year.

 

[Ale Xander]

Danny gets Hendricks
