2017 NBA Draft Thread

[BatManu20]

Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis is reportedly close to being traded to the Phoenix Suns.
One of Porzingis’ brothers told 1580 The Fanatic that a deal with Phoenix is “likely” in advance of the 2017 NBA Draft.

And they're not even giving up Booker... unreal if that report is true.

I love porzingus...but c'mon...no way he's worth even close to that..

[cd98]

Hope Porzingas stays so we can continue to watch Phil Jackson destroy the Knicks. He's tarnishing his legend status every day.

If SA can get at least one lottery pick + 1 other first (either keeping their own or netting another) + open up damn near 50M in cap space while being able to keep Simmons cap hold and maybe Dedmons too then trading DG/LMA worth it. But damn what an overhaul.

[raybies]

Anyone think they could be going for Millsap and Hill while netting some picks? Give them like 20 each and have experienced Spurs systems.

Hill/????/Leonard/Millsap/????
Maybe resign Simmons and Gasol

Hill and Millsap are very spursy players and are two way plYers

[NickiRasgo]

Damn. And the Celtics just declined the offer from Bulls with just 3rd Pick to Jimmy Butler.

I'd rather have hill and millsap for low 40's than cp3 for 34.

"Him" is Josh Jackson btw.

[look_at_g_shred]

Who?

[TimDunkem]

Who is "him"?

[NASpurs]

Josh Jackson is "him".

[FuzzyLumpkins]

She's talking about Josh Jackson.

[BatManu20]

Josh Jackson is going to be a really good two-way player for some team, but it won't be the Spurs. He's a Top 4 pick guaranteed.

[TimDunkem]

Definitely want Jackson here but that's probably pie in the sky .

I'm guessing teams are realizing how ty this draft is and are zeroing in on one of the few good candidates. Not good for bargain hunters.

[cd98]

Only avenue for Spurs to get a top 5 pick is Kawhi, and that ain't happening.

You sure like playing the buzzkill. I understand tempering expectations but discounting best case scenarios out of hand is how you end up always settling for second best.

Lol I'm a realist, there's a difference. Some of these trade scenarios on here are ridiculous and would be laughed at by GM's. Spurs can make moves, but not into the Top 3 of the draft or for Porzingis, at least not without giving up Kawhi, which they'd obviously never do.

[TimDunkem]

Spurs don't need a top 3 pick. Just need to get into the top 5.

Reality before the fact includes all probabilities and does not discount the outliers out of hand. You like speaking in absolutes and claiming that something that is possible will not happen. That is not real.

[NASpurs]

So I'm assuming this is going to be the non-spoiler thread for tonight right?

It usually is...but usually it fails to do so...theres always someone.

Lol

Merely Zen meditation.
