Official 2013 NBA Draft Thread

[benefactor]

For such a crappy draft, there is going to be some good second round value. Spurs should try to trade up.

[ducks]

franklin still onboard

[3 Legged Dog]

You're an idiot. Aren't you?

While I cannot answer as to whether Freetiagoe is an idiot or not, I can tell you that the Spurs did NOT draft Kawhi. We traded George Hill to Indiana for Kawhi later in the evening, after Indiana had drafted him.

[Outlier]

Spurs told Pacers to draft Kawhi for the deal to be accomplished.

[exstatic]

It's hilarious that the media even considers Parker/Ginobili second option calibre players. These two were always third option talent that benefited greatly from playing in the Spurs system.

It's hilarious that you don't understand that 3rd tier/option players never get selected to All NBA teams, system or no system.

[rascal]

well looks like the spurs are signing some players this year.

They will be signing their own players at top dollar.

[3 Legged Dog]

Kawhi drafted 15th by Indiana

Spurs already got some 2d round value. :)

[Captivus]

Kmon Spurs, surprise me in the morning with something nasty!!!

[Baam]

Could Canaan be traded to the Spurs in a Robinson deal?

[RD2191]

Ledo Ledo Ledo!

[Baam]

Wouldn't be surprised by a Bonner + 2014 first (+other picks?) for Robinson + Canaan or something

Franklin free falling. Attitude?

[Baam]

Franklin free falling. Attitude?

I think it's mostly his offensive limitations. People want guards who can shoot. His attitude is better than a lot of guys, he's driven and a hard worker even if a bit of a headcase.

[loveforthegame]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 3m

Philadelphia has traded Glen Rice Jr., to Washington for the 38th and 54th picks, league source tells Y! Sports.

[benefactor]

Franklin free falling. Attitude?
Could be. Someone is going to get a good player on the cheap if he can prove teams wrong about it.

[RD2191]

Is Mike Muscala still available? Anyone surprised by that?

[Baam]

Is Mike Muscala still available? Anyone surprised by that?

Yeah a bit I guess.

[AFBlue]

Grant Jarrett at #58?

[ManuManu]

Chad Ford likes our first-round pick...

Livio Jean-Charles was the breakout star at the Nike Hoop Summit. Jean-Charles exploded with 27 points, 13 rebounds, two steals and two blocks. He clearly was the MVP of the World Team, doing the little things that impresses scouts all week. He's long, athletic, has a nose for the ball and can score both inside and on the midrange jumper. Spurs think he'll spend another year in France before he comes to the NBA. A nice pick here.

[Holden_Caulfield]

do we draft another euro player at 58? i wonder who will be in our summer league roster.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Mouhammadou Jaiteh (http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Mouhammadou-Jaiteh-6366/) ??

Dropped out of the draft awhile back.

Portland takes the big white stiff.

[ManuManu]

Jamaal Franklin to the Grizz.

[loveforthegame]

There goes Jerrett.

[AFBlue]

Grant Jarrett at #58?

Welp, there goes that. Effen Blazers.

[Samr.]

simmons is imploding bc of the boston trade, and this is hilarious to me

[exstatic]

:lmao

X 1 billion. Dear God.

[crc21209]

Fuck. Franklin to Grizzlies...

[benefactor]

Memphis drafting players that can't shoot per par.

[Baam]

Not surpring to see Hollinger go for Franklin.

[loveforthegame]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 4s

The Dallas Mavericks are making a deal with Milwaukee for the 43rd pick to draft Providence guard Ricky Ledo, league source tells Y!

[Bruno]

Franklin at #41 is quite a surprise. I guess his lack of jump-shot hurts his stock more than expected.

[ducks]

dallas is busy

[lmbebo]

Mike Muscala going at No. 44 to Milwaukee (from Dallas).

[MannyIsGod]

Its what he has upstairs. Its not his jumpshot. I tried to tell you guys. Franklin does not have what it takes to be successful at the next level.

[SpursDynasty21]

There are still some good players left.

[elemento]

I hope we can grab Carmichael with the 58 pick.

[RD2191]

Suck a dick Spurs. Better sign a fukin major free agent.

[Baam]

Did Erick Green get picked already?

[loveforthegame]

:bang

[BatManu20]

Mavs drafted Muscala.. dammit.

[BatManu20]

I expect Trevor Mbakwe to be drafted soon.

[loveforthegame]

Muscala going to Atlanta. Bud and Ferry doing work tonight.

[benefactor]

That Green promise could work out after all. :lol

[look_at_g_shred]

Mavs drafted Muscala.. dammit.
Atlanta's pick..no?

[Twisted_Dawg]

Did Erick Green get picked already?

he will be picked at 46

[Whataburger]

Kabongo still available...& green

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Muscala going to Atlanta. Bud and Ferry doing work tonight.

Yep, Bud and Ferry are putting together a good draft thus far.

[exstatic]

Brace yourselves: if they didn't want a first round contract on the books, they probably don't want a second rounder on the books either.

Look for another stash.

[playblair]

draft Ramon Galloway or Jackie Carmichael please ..........................

[timtonymanu]

So not much buzz around this draft other than the Noel/Holiday trade and the Boston trade.

[3 Legged Dog]

Brace yourselves: if they didn't want a first round contract on the books, they probably don't want a second rounder on the books either.

Look for another stash.

You're probably right. We've got to preserve our cap space so we can over pay two guys who will not help us dethrone Miami next year; Turnobili and Shitter

[loveforthegame]

I'd love the Spurs to get Carmichael too. But look for another draft/stash player.

[DPG21920]

Brace yourselves: if they didn't want a first round contract on the books, they probably don't want a second rounder on the books either.

Look for another stash.

Well they can take a guy here that doesn't want to go because the money is not guaranteed.

[SpursDynasty21]

Does a second round pick count much against the salary cap? I hope the Spurs take a player who can contribute.

[benefactor]

It will be Dellavedova.

[hsxvvd]

Dellevadova would be a great pick

[exstatic]

Does a second round pick count much against the salary cap? I hope the Spurs take a player who can contribute.

The 28th pick doesn't count THAT much, and since they passed on that, I'm seeing them pass even on a minimum for #58.

[SpursDynasty21]

It will be Dellavedova.

I'd be fine with that.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Three NC State players still available. Lorenzo Brown, CJ Leslie and Richard Howell. All have TONS of potential.

[AFBlue]

Erik Murphy?

[Captivus]

Allen to Portland.
Atlanta could be a different team next season.

[DPG21920]

Atlanta seemingly had a boss draft all things considered. Looks like they scooped up everyone who graded out well statistically :lol

[DPG21920]

Ledo to ATL

[Samr.]

lol @ possibility of both lakers and celtics in lottery next year

[Chinook]

Brace yourselves: if they didn't want a first round contract on the books, they probably don't want a second rounder on the books either.

Look for another stash.

Second-rounders do not affect cap space. The Spurs can use all of their cap room and their room exception, then still sign their pick to a minimum deal.

[DPG21920]

Correct ^

[benefactor]

Lot's of Bonners going in the second round.

[cd98]

lol @ possibility of both lakers and celtics in lottery next year

Yeah except they'll have shots at Wiggins and Parker.

[AFBlue]

Mbakwe no doubt

[3 Legged Dog]

Three NC State players still available. Lorenzo Brown, CJ Leslie and Richard Howell. All have TONS of potential.

Well...., if they have potential, Pop and RC will pass on them.

[Captivus]

Spurs will probably pick a small PG from Atlantis.

[hsxvvd]

With Brett Brown gone to Philly, less likely we draft Dellavedova

[AFBlue]

Or the Iranian

[DesignatedT]

Well...., if they have potential, Pop and RC will pass on them.

:lol

[Biggems]

well atlanta got 2 of the 3 players i wanted most.....muscala (draft by mavs for atl) and ennis.....

[loveforthegame]

Carmichael and Kezemi would be good.

[Robz4000]

Lakers and Celtics will go #1 and #2 in the draft next year, being gifted two superstars.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
(http://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA)Atlanta has traded the 50th pick, Long Beach State's James Ennis, to the Miami Heat, league source tells Y!

[timvp]

I'll predict Myck even though the Spurs don't need him.

[Samr.]

Simmons with the angry eyes

Yeah, you just got a live tv reaction of what it's like for a die hard fan to see their team implode in a matter of minutes.

I agree with the Kabongo prediction. RC will be all up on that.

[loveforthegame]

All simmons wants to talk about is the celtics.

Maybe Deshaun Thomas or CJ Leslie.

[BatManu20]

I hope Mbakwe slips to 58. The Spurs supposedly liked him during his workout.

[3 Legged Dog]

I'll predict Myck even though the Spurs don't need him.

Is the dude freakishly athletic and explosive?

[BatManu20]

Maybe Deshaun Thomas.

The guy who wouldn't give the Spurs his phone # after his workout lol. Doubtful.

[timvp]

Pick Myck. Stick him in Austin for two years. Hope he is able to wash himself of that UT experience and becomes something a la CJ.

[Biggems]

damn france is surpassing argentina as the hotbed of international talent to be drafted.

[loveforthegame]

I hope Mbakwe slips to 58. The Spurs supposedly liked him during his workout.

Shit. Forgot about him. I'd be happy with him or Carmichael.

[Biggems]

if leslie is there, he wont be, but if he is, i want him

[Bruno]

Carmichael would be my pick.

Bojan Dubljevic

Got my number?


Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN
(http://twitter.com/GoodmanESPN)Deshaun Thomas picked at No. 58.

[BatManu20]

PHX picks Alex Oriakhi. Spurs pick next.

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

[BatManu20]

Possibilities who are still available:

Trevor Mbakwe
James Southerland
Carrick Felix
Brandon Paul
Myck Kabongo

[Baam]

no midget is good I guess

[benefactor]

SF prospect. Nice.

[DesignatedT]

Thomas Ohio State. I'm good with that pick. He can score.

So, Spurs go with a player who won't play for them next season and a player who doesn't even want to have them on the phone...

[-21-]

Deshaun Thomas...

[Captivus]

I really like this pick!

[Baam]

Pretty nice 58th pick, I like it.

[DPG21920]

:lol Spurs trolling this dude hard. They will probably tell his agent they don't have a phone and enjoy not being in the NBA.

[hommeaetage]

Ok this s really trolling :lmao

[OrEmuN]

Spurs FO is either trolling or has taught DeShaun Thomas to make a fuss on phone number ...

[crc21209]

Bilas seems to be really high on him. Called him a great scorer and shooter...

[Biggems]

CJ Leslie could have been a great pick for us because of his defensive ability......Green, Leonard, and Leslie would have our perimeter on lockdown.

[exstatic]

It would be funny if they didn't call him to let him know. If he asks, they tell him "You've got a fucking TV. Why should we call?" :lol

[Sean Cagney]

AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA..

[Thompson]

Tell him he has to sign his contract before they'll tell him his salary.

[lmbebo]

CJ Leslie could have been a great pick for us because of his defensive ability......Green, Leonard, and Leslie would have our perimeter on lockdown.

Undrafted, spurs can still invite him to SL, etc

[Bruno]

There are some decent bigmen undrafted like Carmichael or Leslie. Having one on the SL team would be nice.

[Captivus]

I predict this guy will play.

[Baam]

Is PlayDeshaun already taken :lol??

[elemento]

I hope SA gives an invitation to Carmichael. I am surprised he went undrafted.

[Baam]

I predict this guy will play.

I agree he's skilled for such a late pick.

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol we drafted two backups for kawhi

[RD2191]

So how do they get a hold of him?

[3 Legged Dog]

Thomas Ohio State. I'm good with that pick. He can score.

Pretty sad that our 58th pick is much better than our 28th pick.

[3 Legged Dog]

lol we drafted two backups for kawhi

No, because Labia Jean Charles cannot/will not play in this league.

[BatManu20]

Myck Kabongo is going to go undrafted. Unreal. Shoudl've stayed in school.

[BatManu20]

LOL did anyone just here Bill Simmons say "What?!?" after that trade announcement?

[boga]

never watched him play, is snell that good? what can he add to bulls?

[TheCerebral1]

There are some decent bigmen undrafted like Carmichael or Leslie. Having one on the SL team would be nice.

I thought the same thing, I know there are some concerns about Leslie, but really that far. I also want Franklin. If there's anyway to get him out the hell of TN in Memphis.

[LakerHater]

So Bertrands is in San Antonio??

[ace3g]
