Chat for the draft

[Scoe]

NBA really needs to get on the ball with updating trades, the NFL draft does a much better job with this.

Kolek was my #1 wish for the Knicks, love it. Still have 38 too, at least for the next few minutes

 

[alphasigko]

Where is the draft, tired of the James show. Don't care if Steven A wants LeBron in New York.

Stephen A and the other 2 yahoos with him last nite were IMO not watchable... Thankfully I recorded the show and was able to just pass over all their impressions of a show worthwhile of spending time watching.

Juan Nunez going to the Spurs with Castle in the 2 pick swap.

PG, great passer, but terrible athlete and can't shoot. Likely to stay in Europe for a few years.

knicks get kolek at 34, pretty good get with lower cap hit and fills a desperate need to take load off of brunson.

Kolek to the Knicks via trade at 34.

It's wild that I see some people saying this and yet ESPN and other outlets are not reporting the trade and say Portland picked him.

Kolek to the Knicks via trade at 34.

Good for him, gets to play with Villanova-built winners instead of the checked-out point shavers that ruined his last game at Marquette.

 

[navery12]

His toughness will fit right in with the rest of the roster. I'm betting he has a bigger impact than both #1's.

They only drafted 1 guy yesterday and he's gonna be in Europe or the G League so definitely a bigger impact

Kolek gets to play with Clingan. Familiar foes.

It was a trade with the Knicks, so Kolek is going to the Knicks.

Appears the pick was traded to the Knicks

That’s what’s so frustrating the NBA needs to address this, the commissioner should say we have a trade announce and give the details of the trade then announce the pick pretty simple just like they do for the nfl draft.

This is one of the worst ideas the league ever had. And 4pm too smh.

I wonder how much this was due to the debate tonight? Which I am assuming was scheduled after the NBA had set the dates for the draft. Maybe without that conflict it starts at the same time as yesterday.

The ESPN broadcast was actually very, very good. Can't imagine watching SAS over that.

I didn't realize they swapped out Kyshawn George. I went to bed after Steph and Don got picked. ESPN still has George listed as a Knick pick, I didn't dig deeper.

It's worse because half of these picks have been traded. Furphy is headed to Indiana not San Antonio. Nunez, picked by the Pacers, is headed to San Antonio.

The Stadium NBA draft show is much better than ESPN's, I switched over mid first round last night and watching again today

 

[navery12]

Knicks back on the clock at 40 here, traded down from 38

 

[HuskyHawk]

I really want Boston to grab Oso. I think he's an ideal bench big in the "Al Horford light" category, who can guard all over the floor and could still learn to shoot eventually.

 

[Scoe]

Cam is 10th on the available board.

 

[Jaydumo20]

I thought Newt was listed above Cam. Guess not

 

[auror]

Pick is for the Knicks. Guess they're also Marquette 2.0 in addition to Nova

And actually Oso going to Phoenix.

 

[navery12]

And actually Oso going to Phoenix.

Yeah just saw that and deleted it

 

[Jaydumo20]

And actually Oso going to Phoenix.

I was so confused until that trade.

 

[auror]

Starting to get out of guaranteed contract range for the UConn guys. Good chance if they get drafted they'll be on two way deals like Sanogo.

 

[Scoe]

Knicks with picks 51 and 56 im hearing.
