I guess the people praising sacramentos picks were being serious

Love fox but yeah, good luck to their other selections

you might be one of the only people who doesn't think they had a good draft. Its the Kings. Mediocre decisions tend to look better because its the Kings. But they had an outstanding draft. I might have went a different direction than Jackson.
 
Knicks ain't do nothing wrong

Lakers had a great night imo
Well if publicly telling everyone you are looking at trading your future franchise centerpiece isn't anything wrong then sure.  The Lakers definitely goofed up if they dont get PG and another FA in 2018 though.  If they strike out in 2018 that terrible Moz contract would have been a trade asset in 2019.

After sleeping on it, I'm no longer happy about what we got for Jimmy simply because we gave up #16 too. If we knew we were going full rebuild, you have to hold on to that pick :{ .. I know Minny gave us the best offer, but damn no way I would've included 16. They could've gave them #38 instead :{

On another note, a lot of PAC 12 guys are saying Lauri has as much upside as Fultz & Ball. That's high praise, but if he doesn't come out the gate like Porzingis 2.0 I'm going to be really pissed because we could've took Smith who could've been our PG for the foreseeable future.

Just heard on ESPN 1000 that the initial trade over was:

Minny Gets:

Jimmy 

Rondo

Bulls Get:

#7

Dunn

Rubio

And get to keep the #16 pick. Minny would have cut rondo and ate the $3mil hit.

Bulls said F that we don't want Rubio, Lavine HAS to be in the deal.

So Minny countered with #7,Dunn,Lavine but your #16 HAS to be included.

There really was no market for Jimmy, or not as big as people thought.

Suns weren't giving up #4 for Butler who has 2 years left on his deal and the Suns are more than 2 years way.

Same with Boston, they prefered Tatum over Butler due to his contract and having him for more years, plus age and mileage. 

I'm a huge fan of Zach, I hope he bounces back and I think he will. He's going to be a star.

FEDS did a sweep
I get it. Butler 28 man. I don't blame Ainge for not trading for him BUT the fact he gave up Fultz for Tatum is dumb. As a Sixers fan I'm esatic

When we start sweeping teams in th first round, this will be a HIT
 
I know he got bounce but he doesn't attack the rim anything like Carter or even young ray ray
