Official 2013 NBA Draft Thread

[DesignatedT]

Burke traded to Utah for 14th and 21st picks.

[ernest787]

Ok. Burke to Utah makes more sense

[DesignatedT]

Just leave the shit from twitter on twitter as far as picks go.

sir yes sir

[Raven]

GMs get really screwed because of the best player philosophy

[ernest787]

I apologize if I ruin anything. Not able to watch right now so I'm only following here and on twitter. Trying not to jump the gun here

[benefactor]

sir yes sir
Good. As you were.

[crc21209]

Wait, wait, wait....Utah traded for a black guy? :lol

[DesignatedT]

Wait, wait, wait....Utah traded for a black guy? :lol

:lol

[Raven]

what could Utah give up?? Kantner??

that would be like gasol trade bad

[Chinook]

Shabazz for OKC? It would be pretty interesting, since he's supposed to have a high ceiling and plays Harden's position.

[ducks]

Trey Burke for Utah makes much sense. And two picks for Flip. Such a normal trade. It has no place in this draft.

[benefactor]

Wait, wait, wait....Utah traded for a black guy? :lol
:lol

[crc21209]

So this #11 pick is New Orleans' right?

I think it was reported that they liked Alphabet Soup.

[Biggems]

too bad rudy gobert wont fall to 28.......he is raw, but also a legit 7 footer with great wingspan....he would be a shot blocking machine that would be a great compliment to KL and DG.

[Chinook]

So this #11 pick is New Orleans' right?

No. 42 is. ESPN's just being stupid.

[BatManu20]

So this #11 pick is New Orleans' right?

No they got Noel, this year's 2nd round pick, and next years 1st round pick (top 3 protected). This pick is Philly's, and will likely be a PG to replace Jrue Holiday.

[Darkwaters]

So this #11 pick is New Orleans' right?

NOpe

[ernest787]

Yeah Philly kept 11. Heard that wanted McCollum. Wonder what they'll grab now

[DPG21920]

Well teams are making moves. Let's see what else happens. Philly and NO, UTA and MIN, what else? Is POR really keeping this PG?

[Chinook]

I think it was reported that they liked Alphabet Soup.

Yes, I do remember hearing that. We'll see if the Sixers take that guy or a point-guard.

[ducks]

who will post a thread now tp to sixers

[ducks]

The Philadelphia 76ers have acquired the rights to sixth overall pick Nerlens Noel in a trade that sends point guard Jrue Holiday to the New Orleans Pelicans, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Pelicans also will send a 2014 first-round pick to the Sixers in the trade. The Sixers received a second-round pick (No. 42 overall in Thursday's draft) from the Pelicans.

Noel, a 7-foot center from Kentucky, had been a candidate to be selected No. 1 overall before slipping to sixth.

Holiday, 23, averaged 17.7 points and eight assists this past season for the Pelicans.

[benefactor]

Schroeder maybe?

[DesignatedT]

Philly going PG? What if they shock everyone with a Schroder pick...

[DPG21920]

Only picks traded are 14 & 21. Those are PHI even though UTA is picking.

[ducks]

Shaquille O’Neal apparently plans to mentor DeMarcus Cousins.

[loveforthegame]

Well ...

[Libri]

Sixers, Carter Williams

[crc21209]

Philly picks Michael Carter-Williams. So that's why they traded Holliday...

[benefactor]

That was my other guess.

[Nathan89]

andre iguodala should go to the pelicans

[DPG21920]

They are going to have some odd ball handlers in PHI. MCW and Evans..

[Russ]

Will OKC go big or small?

[coyotes_geek]

:lol

Anyone else catch someone jump on top of Simmons' comment about Yahoo reporting what Utah gave up for Burks with the "yes, Chad Ford is tweeting that too".

[BatManu20]

I think OKC takes Giannis Adetokunbo here If I had to guess.

[szkorhetz]

Will OKC go big or small?
Muhammad, I think.

[DesignatedT]

Lets see what OKC does.

[benefactor]

Will OKC go big or small?
I think they take Alphabet Soup. It's been rumored they liked him.

[kobyz]

i bet okc go Muhammad, could be high reward for them.

[coyotes_geek]

Will OKC go big or small?

I'd think big. I think they're ready to cut ties with Perkins.

[ducks]

Minnesota gets Utah's Nos. 14 and 21 in this draft for Trey Burke, source says.

[DPG21920]

:lol

Anyone else catch someone jump on top of Simmons' comment about Yahoo reporting what Utah gave up for Burks with the "yes, Chad Ford is tweeting that too".

Yup. Company goes going company on the non-company guy.

Not sure, but they could beat Atlanta to the punch for Adetokunbo, the tricky part is convincing him not to come/get paid right away.

[Chinook]

If they make the trade with Cleveland now, they will have just gotten two free second-rounders.

[Russ]

Nice trade for Dallas at this point. 2 2nd rounders just to move back 3 spots? Solid.

First prize, two 2d rounders.

Second prize, three 2d rounders.

Dallas picking for someone else at 16 possibly?

[DPG21920]

nice job mavs. you just created $250k of cap space. :lol

Well, they also got 2 2nd rounders and moved back 3 spots. I'm assuming they didn't want the dude they drafted for BOS, so really it's only 2 spots moved back to get cap space and 2 2nd rounders. Not bad IMO>

[Chinook]

Not sure, but they could beat Atlanta to the punch for Adetokunbo, the tricky part is convincing him not to come/get paid right away.

It's not that tricky, since I doubt he has $2 Million lying around to pay his own buyout.

Wouldn't shock me to see them make the Cleveland trade anyway and just get two seconds for free.

[benefactor]

Not sure, but they could beat Atlanta to the punch for Adetokunbo, the tricky part is convincing him not to come/get paid right away.
This was my first thought. Alphabet Soup is very young. They could just say fuck you to his wishes for coming over and leave him there. That or trade his rights eventually in another package.

[Captivus]

Dallas picking for someone else at 16 possibly?

Hope so, otherwise that trade is a top ten stupid!

[DPG21920]

So this pick is going to Philly.

[Texas_Ranger]

Adetokunbo or Karasev go to Utah most likely...I mean Wolves

[Captivus]

Clevveland could pick giannis

[crc21209]

See what Philly does here....

[DPG21920]

Hope so, otherwise that trade is a top ten stupid!

Why would it be stupid. They just picked up 2 2nd rounders and likely can get a guy they want still. Or trade the pick again for more assets.

[crc21209]

Shabazz Muhammad going to Minny....

[Baam]

Need to trade for Karasev seriously...

[benefactor]

Well there goes Shabazz.

[BatManu20]

Shabazzz to Twolves

[Chinook]

Derrick Williams is almost certainly gone this off-season now.

[Baam]

Surprising that Minnesota did pick Karasev when they already have 2 Russians.

[DPG21920]

Sorry, meant Minny, not Philly. Minny got the picks from UTA.

How is Tony Snell a knucklehead? He hasn't done anything.

Shabazz will probably play the three, since the Wolves already have a lot of guards (not good ones, but still...).

[DPG21920]

Simmons sees the Harden comparison

He's the really unathletic less talented version.

[Baam]

Seriously Karasev is one of the safest pick and has a lot of Manu in him, he'd be really worth trading up for imo.

Simmons dying up there with the terrible choices and his team tanking :lol

Very solid. So they have cleared about 1.5M in cap space, received 3 2nd rounders and only moved back 5 spots with no one really crazy good there to take.

[Chinook]

Dallas is pulling a Cleveland Browns with all of these trade-downs. If they don't end up moving this pick to save money, they'd've been so much better off just taking BPA at 13 and rebuilding.

He's originally from Nigeria iirc.

There isn't really some awesome consensus stud where they were. Big gambles with not a ton of upside. It's not like he would be blowing anything at this point unless someone beats the odds and turns into a star from the 13th pick on.

[Captivus]

Cuban called Stern, he wants a 3rd round.

[Libri]

How does he compare with Nene and Tiago.

[Biggems]

[Chinook]

Kobe Bryant for me. :).....:depressed

Exactly. It's just strange for me to see anyone who's born after 1990 as anything other than a little kid. Now that there are '94ers in the league, it just makes me feel less and less accomplished.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Utah with Burke, Shabazz and another pick to come is a good haul.

76ers giving away the All-Star PG they developed and signed to a great contract = dum dum de dum dum.

[DPG21920]

Also, its obvious the guys the Mavs are picking for other guys, they did not want. So it cuts down the actual number of spots they really moved back. Worst case, they moved essentially back 3 spots (not the 5 from 13-18) so it's even better in that regard.

[picnroll]

If Howard has half a brain, which he likely doesn't he'll go to Houston. That would be a worry. Dallas, meh.

[BatManu20]

Schroeder is a good pick here. Reminds me of Rajon Rondo.

To draft who though? No one is still available who's worth moving up for imo.

If the Cavs go domestic (or Karasev) here, it probably means they didn't get the Robinson trade done. Same with Chicago.
