Official 2014 NBA Draft Thread (no spoilers)

[raybies]

I wonder how far Harris falls.

[tholdren]

James Young to the C's. Good pick at 17.
I disagree, he's not a good finisher and low bball IQ. I am uncertain how either pick makes the Celtics better. Both players are terrible as jump shooters, and only smart can finish/get to the line, though I think is dribbling and first step will be issues in the NBA.

[anakha]

tuKKhMls0bs

Dammit Silver, how are we supposed to boo you now?

[BatManu20]

Tyler Ennis. Are they planning on losing Bledsoe?

[raybies]

Not sure about this pick. Possible trade? Gary Harris would of been a better Bledsoe emergency plan.

[Captivus]

tuKKhMls0bs

Dammit Silver, how are we supposed to boo you now?

Class act.

[crc21209]

:lol Laker dick sucking going on, trying to hype up their pick.

[BatManu20]

OKC is about to STEAL Rodney Hood at 21... They need a wing scorer off the bench and he's it.

[crc21209]

So where does Shabazz does go? The Heat still trying to move up and get him?

[Raven]

cupcake throwing randle under the bus already :lol

[crc21209]

OKC is about to STEAL Rodney Hood at 21... They need a wing scorer off the bench and he's it.

I thought that was supposed to be Perry Jones III last year?

[crc21209]

Yup, Heat still trying to move up..

[Raven]

I thought that was supposed to be Perry Jones III last year?

tried butler and wasted a year pretty much

[Nathan89]

Hoping OKC blows the pick on a big scrub.

[davi78239]

Okc will pick someone on our radar.... book it.

[BatManu20]

OKC is about to STEAL Rodney Hood at 21... They need a wing scorer off the bench and he's it.

Hes a much better prospect than Jones. Teams passed on Jones cause he's a great athlete but not a great player. Hood is already a knock-down shooter and much better all-around player.

[Mal]

Who da fuq ??

[Baam]

:lol Raptors

[raybies]

WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! RRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCHHHHH!!!

[tholdren]

Okc will pick someone on our radar.... book it.
no shit they have 2 picks in front of us.

[jyra]

Holy shit, congrats to the think tank for getting his name out here.

[Raven]

smh toronto :lol

[Mal]

Worked out for no team :lmao

[BatManu20]

The Raptors just stole the Spurs pick :lol

[spursparker9]

Okc will pick someone on our radar.... book it.

Sammy understand RC.

[Two10Whitey]

LOL wow.

[Baam]

You can't justify that pick, he would have been there way lower...

[raybies]

Holy shit, congrats to the think tank for getting his name out here. I had him possibly being a Spurs Second Round Pick.

[Blizzardwizard]

WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! RRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCHHHHH!!!

:lol :lol

[jhfenton]

You can't justify that pick, he would have been there way lower...

Yeah, he would have been there at 37 for the Raptors.

[Nathan89]

The Raptors just stole the Spurs pick :lol

Their 60th pick

[pad300]

Who did they pick?

[tholdren]

Who did they pick?
exactly

[bluebellmaniac]

You can't justify that pick, he would have been there way lower...
Toronto lurking the ST Think Tank... Lol

[Raven]

damn okc having way too many good players left

[exstatic]

Who did they pick?

Cabloclo? Something like that...

[jhfenton]

exactly

Bruno Caboclo, SF, Brazil

[exstatic]

damn okc having way too many good players left

That leaves more than scraps for us, too.

[ducks]

suppose to be kevin Durant of eurpope

[tholdren]

Bruno Caboclo, SF, Brazil
I meant, tactfully, he's a piece of shit who is so terrible who no one knows or cares about

[AFBlue]

Wow, that has to be the biggest reach of all time. No hyperbole.

[Raven]

That leaves more than scraps for us, too.

yup

[myhc]

Who's left on the board you guys think we're looking at?

[Emperor]

The Brazilian Kevin Durant lol

[jhfenton]

I meant, tactfully, he's a piece of shit who is so terrible who no one knows or cares about

:toast I got your "exactly." I was just answering the question.

[exstatic]

Who's left on the board you guys think we're looking at?
God, I want Capela in silver and black.

[pad300]

Well, I hope we are trying to get the 25th or the 27th (or both) through trading a future 1st (and Belinelli) There is going to be good things left... This draft is pretty sweet, and the Raptors made it that much better.

[Nathan89]

A potential glorified Kevin Martin.

[BatManu20]

Don't be Rodney Hood please

[exstatic]

McGary is going to get his shit pushed for years in the NBA.

[Nathan89]

Hoping OKC blows the pick on a big scrub.:lol

[Baam]

Fills their need but imo underwhelming pick for their standards

[tholdren]

(little smiley guy giving thumbs up) how did you take a selfie running like that?

[Raven]

wow, awful pick

[exstatic]

Well, I hope we are trying to get the 25th or the 27th (or both) through trading a future 1st (and Belinelli) There is going to be good things left... This draft is pretty sweet, and the Raptors made it that much better.

I think 27 will be available. Hopefully, we can jump in front of OKC's second pick.

[Ginobili3]

McGary + Adams = painful screens for days

[Captivus]

OKC trying to steal the spurs pick...

[exstatic]

McGary + Adams = painful screens for days

Layup line in the lane for us, though. NEITHER of them is a rim protector or EVER can be.

[Baam]

Feels like Inglis is lock at 29 with OKC' second pick now...

[Nathan89]

Someone needs to take Napier from the Heat now.

[Raven]

damn there is still a LOT

[kaji157]

Just entered the chat hoping for someone to be there to comment the draft...

Didn´t OKC just draft the guy wewere projected to draft?

[tholdren]

McGary sucks, pick was wasted, unless they trade the shit out of adams.

[Two10Whitey]

We're gonna get the Tavares guy.

[exstatic]

Just entered the chat hoping for someone to be there to comment the draft...

Didn´t OKC just draft the guy wewere projected to draft?
Doesn't matter. He's a blue collar hustle guy, nothing more.

[Uriel]

OKC gave a promise to McGary, per Woj.

[bluebellmaniac]

Where is Chinook?

[Nathan89]

Houston should take Napier. Grizz should get Hood.

[BatManu20]

Spurs weren't going to take McGary. Guy tested positive for Marijuana two months ago and I can almost guarantee you whoever we pick will be a draft-and-stash.

[ace3g]

Kyle Anderson still available

[Uriel]

Late 1st round. This is where the draft gets interesting. Players being drafted are within the Spurs' reach now.

[raybies]

Official Capela, Anderson, Bogdanovic Watch

[ducks]

bandwagonknick


Quite a few interesting tweener-type picks remaining. Give them to the Spurs and they probably win the next four championships.

[raybies]

Hood is also falling.

[ace3g]

Zach Lowe @ZachLowe_NBA
(https://twitter.com/ZachLowe_NBA)Remember: this MEM pick may be heading to Raptors if teams finalize Prince/Salmons swap @ESPNSteinLine (https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/) wrote about today.

[Two10Whitey]

What's best-case scenario for the Spurs right now?

[BatManu20]

Shabazz might fall right into miami's lap

[AFBlue]

Kyle Anderson still available

This, tbqh.

[BatManu20]

What's best-case scenario for the Spurs right now?

Clint Capela falling into our laps. That's the guy they want.

[exstatic]

What's best-case scenario for the Spurs right now?

IMHO, Capela.

[Uriel]

Ugh. Starting to get nervous. Really hoping Capela falls to us. *fingers crossed*

[Nathan89]

What's best-case scenario for the Spurs right now?

If 7 more teams pass on Hood.

[Baam]

Official Capela, Anderson, Bogdanovic Watch

Especially these 2

[cd021]

8 picks remaining and:

Inglish
Early
Micic
Bogdanovic
Tavares

all still available and were mentioned in various mocks for the Spurs

[AFBlue]

Anderson, Capela...either would be money.

[Uriel]

Feels like Inglis is lock at 29 with OKC' second pick now...
Why?

[AFBlue]

Hood could be scary good for the Spurs too.

[exstatic]

Ugh. Starting to get nervous. Really hoping Capela falls to us. *fingers crossed*

The BIGGEST threat was Toronto. He could still be picked, though.

[tholdren]

IMHO, Capela.

McDaniels

[raybies]

IMHO, Capela.
Reminds me of Ibaka but doesn't have the jumper.

[crc21209]

Utah drafted a black guy? :lol

[exstatic]

McDaniels

Don't see it. Capela is considered the BEST athlete EVER to come out of Europe. That includes Ibaka.

[crc21209]

And his last name is HOOD! Not very Jazz-like tbh..:lol

[jyra]

Reminds me of Ibaka but doesn't have the jumper.

If he did, he would long gone.

[cd021]

Shabazz might fall right into miami's lap

Would be funny if he is taken a spot or two ahead of them .

[kaji157]

Doesn't matter. He's a blue collar hustle guy, nothing more.

TNX i am from argentina so i really don´t know most of the guys ion the draft.
There is a rumour here that the Pacers or Spurs may draft Argentina´s NT player Marcos Delia ( http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Marcos-Delia-7014/ ) with either´s last pick.

[Baam]

Why?

Because they filled their need for a big... But I'm just guessing tbh... Inglis got a promise and imo it's OKC...

[crc21209]

NVM forgot he's from Duke...might as well be a white dude :lol

[exstatic]

Utah drafted a black guy? :lol

They drafted some guy, Karl something, years ago, too.

[raybies]

Jazz nap two potential starters so far; depending on if they bring back Hayward or not.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Looks like Rockets will be the Spurs' contenders for Capella. Batum redux?

[jhfenton]

NVM forgot he's from Duke...might as well be a white dude :lol

:lol :nope

[exstatic]

Looks like Rockets will be the Spurs' contenders for Capella. Batum redux?

They traded, that pick, too. Supposedly, their pick is in play.

[cd021]

Utah drafted a black guy? :lol

black population increased roughly 10% with that pick :lol

[100%duncan]

Fuck you Utah

[Mal]

So Utah and Philadelphia are back in lottery next year.

[cd021]

"Keep getting them checks richard"

[RD2191]

:lmaoHeat

[BatManu20]

Houston might take Capela. They want to trade or stash their pick.

[jyra]

Troll hard Hornets :)

[exstatic]

FY, Miami!

[Nathan89]

Heat:lol

[ducks]

james to bobcats

[spursparker9]

lol HEAT

[crc21209]

:lol Jordan just cockblocked Miami and LeBron..

[Baam]

It's amazing that Capela slipped that far...

[atoyotagaspedal]

HEAT GETTING BLOWN THE FUCK OUT
AGAIN

[Emperor]

Take that Miami

[Uriel]

Hornets got Shabazz Napier... 2 picks before Miami.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Napier to be traded to Miami acc to Chad Ford

[exstatic]

It's amazing that Capela slipped that far...

Shhh...

[crc21209]

Payback for LeBron staring down Jordan...

[Captivus]

Lebron just called the Spurs

[ducks]

bobcats have 16 million or more to offer james

[Mal]

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS 1m

The Raptors are trying to move up from their 37th pick and are targeting Shabazz Napier, league source says.

:lmao

[cd021]

Every time they mentioned the Hornets i think of Pelicans. Its getting really annoying.

[Captivus]

Napier to be traded to Miami acc to Chad Ford

Miami is really high on this guy

[BatManu20]

Miami trading for Napier

[Mal]

Oh, he`s traded

[loveforthegame]

Miami trading for Napier

Of course.

[Captivus]

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS 1m

The Raptors are trying to move up from their 37th pick and are targeting Shabazz Napier, league source says.

:lmao

They are just improvising things

[DDS4]

Cole and Chalmers have thrown up in their mouths.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Heat will trade No. 26, No. 55 and a future 2nd to the Hornets for Shabazz Napier per Brian Windhorst ESPN

[crc21209]

Step 1 in keeping LeBron...check for Miami.

[RD2191]

:lolChalmers

[Uriel]

Wow. What the heck did the Hornets get from Miami? Norris Cole and #26?

[spursparker9]

lol Charlotte always like to give away players for free.

[exstatic]

Wow. What the heck did the Hornets get from Miami? Norris Cole and #26?

26, this year's second, and a future second.

[spursparker9]

Wow. What the heck did the Hornets get from Miami? Norris Cole and #26?

http://vine.co/v/Mt9g9mA6The (http://t.co/tZwnKYGmmD) :lol

[RD2191]

Just another shawty for DG to shut down. Nothing to see here folks.

[BatManu20]

Hornets get miami's pick, 2nd round pick this year, and a second round pick in next year's draft.

[crc21209]

Steal for Miami. Jordan helping out LeBron now..:lol

[Nathan89]

Fucking Heat.

[Uriel]

Capela to the Rockets.

FUCK.

[Mal]

Capela gone

[Spursfanfromafar]

And Rockets take Capella...

[DDS4]

Bye Capela

[RD2191]

http://vine.co/v/Mt9g9mA6The (http://t.co/tZwnKYGmmD) :lol
I thought he said something like "Fuck me". :lol

[myhc]

lol Bill Simmons visibly pissed the Hornets gave Napier to Heat

[loveforthegame]

I knew it was going to be Houston or OKC screwing us.

[Darius Bieber]

Well looks like Spurs will sign an Eastern European guy we will never see per par. :wakeup

[RD2191]

Quit with the spoilers, gtfo.

[Spursfanfromafar]

I knew it.. bloody Morey.

[spursparker9]

lol Houston and Portland, the best snatchers

[hsxvvd]

LOL... Letting LeBron play GM too.

Another reason why the Spurs will beat them again.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Wish Spurs will have Kyle Anderson on board. Doubt it though. I think the Clips will take him. Good fit for them.

[jhfenton]

Quit with the spoilers, gtfo.

Talk to Woj. :lol

[Uriel]

South bitch. :lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

[Emperor]

NO!

[Spursfanfromafar]

Charlotte is going to get PJ Hairston at 26 per Woj.

[r0drig0lac]

damn

[Mal]

Bogdanovic ?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol

[exstatic]

Assholes.

[Baam]

Simmons is such a dumbfuck, Capela doesn't want to be stashed...

[Blizzardwizard]

"South Bitch"

:lmao

[Two10Whitey]

So now what?

[Josh810]

All I know is I hope I've never even heard of the guy we draft.

[RD2191]

Seriously. There's a spoiler thread. Fuck.

[ironman2886]

Thinner than durant.

[Thompson]

Capela's NBA comparison was Ian Mahinmi. I'd rather not go through that again.

[pad300]

No biggie, only if Capela learns some basketball skills will he matter. He runs and jumps like a deer, but what else...

[loveforthegame]

Still some interesting names for the Spurs to grab but I'm prepared to be disappointed.

[Mal]

Rockets keeping Capela.

[exstatic]

Capela's NBA comparison was Ian Mahinmi. I'd rather not go through that again.

More athletic than Mahinmi OR Ibaka.

[Blizzardwizard]

LeBron was going to stay anyway but that pick all but confirmed it.

[tholdren]

Rockets keeping Capela.
who cares, he got his points off of putbacks against people less athletic than Dirk... NO BIG DEAL

[crc21209]

Its OK because Scola never won a title with Houston, and Capela probably won't either. Houston has a way of always screwing shit up..:lol

[exstatic]

My guess now is Jokic or Tavares

[ironman2886]

Seriously. There's a spoiler thread. Fuck.
Make a Woj twitter thread for these guys. This has been effin annoying. What's the point of watching?

[tholdren]

Its OK because Scola never won a title with Houston, and Capela probably won't either. Houston has a way of always screwing shit up..:lol
the minute he outworks howard is the minute he gets traded... not worried about this guy

[AFBlue]

Getting excited for the possibility of Anderson.

[ace3g]

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
(https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA)Several teams pursuing Capela with the Rockets, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. Stay tuned.

[spursparker9]

Its OK because Scola never won a title with Houston, and Capela probably won't either. Houston has a way of always screwing shit up..:lol

[Uriel]

Spurs' pick at #30 is getting closer. My wish list: Damien Ingliis, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Walter Tavares, Nikola Jokic, or Kyle Anderson.

:toast

[marinoman]

LeBron was going to stay anyway but that pick all but confirmed it.

My thoughts exactly

[100%duncan]

Tavares is for us

[pad300]

I suspect Jokic. I'm pretty sure he got a promise from someone, and who else would that be?

[heyheymymy]

i hate the rockets

[loveforthegame]

Getting excited for the possibility of Anderson.

Me too. I didn't think it was possible.

Also liking Robinson or Early.

[BatManu20]

Capela might still be moved. Wouldn't rule out Spurs.

[exstatic]

Its OK because Scola never won a title with Houston, and Capela probably won't either. Houston has a way of always screwing shit up..:lol

Y'know, people are always saying what a genius Morey is, but after everything he's pulled off the last 3-4 years, their best season was a first round out.

[RD2191]

Make a Woj twitter thread for these guys. This has been effin annoying. What's the point of watching?
One already exist, they just think they're hip trying to break news or some shit.

[Thompson]

Why is Anderson falling? I don't know anything about him, but the nbadraft.net profile looks good (9 of 10 for passing and ball handling).

[BatManu20]

P Hairston to the Hornets. A Carolina guy. No surprise there with MJ.

[Mal]

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
(https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA)Several teams pursuing Capela with the Rockets, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. Stay tuned.



Regular season sweep in favour of Rockets is enough ?

[Captivus]

Last years draft there were at least 3 players that were ranked higher the Spurs pick...and the spurs didnt take any of those...so...robinson may be available...but idk.

[timtonymanu]

Capela might still be moved. Wouldn't rule out Spurs.

After the Batum fiasco, I just don't see Houston working with the Spurs.

[pad300]

Why is Anderson falling? I don't know anything about him, but the nbadraft.net profile looks good (9 of 10 for passing and ball handling).

Athelticism - who does he defend?

[AFBlue]

Not a great athlete. Does a bunch of stuff well, but nothing great. Still, I'm surprised he's available.

[tholdren]

Why is Anderson falling? I don't know anything about him, but the nbadraft.net profile looks good (9 of 10 for passing and ball handling).
0 athleticism. 0 speed.

[ironman2886]

One already exist, they just think they're hip trying to break news or some shit.
Oh. I haven't even been off this thread to check.

[BatManu20]

Anderson is falling because of his lack of athleticism. He's a liability on defense because he's too slow to guard SF's and athletic PF's, and obviously can't defend PG's. He doesn't really have a set position. Not a great shooter either. Not surprised he's falling, especially in a deep draft.

[AFBlue]

Anderson just needs a summer with Diaw on his diet and he's a ready-made point-forward tbqh.

[Ginobili3]

Layup line in the lane for us, though. NEITHER of them is a rim protector or EVER can be.

True. Hopefully CoJo can continue to get better

[jhfenton]

Oh. I haven't even been off this thread to check.

Me either. I wasn't aware of the separate thread or the drama over the Woj tweets. It's absurd.

[Ginobili3]

Goddamit, OKC has another pick. I just want Early, Robinson III or Bogdanovic

[ducks]

Brian Windhorst


The Heat did not consult with LeBron James on the Shabazz Napier pick, sources said. Though his thoughts were known.

[SpurPadre]

I know we fucked LeBron and the heat up the ass but it's still annoying that they always get what they want in terms of personnel. Why the fuck would Charlotte want to help them out? Oh well.

[100%duncan]

Tavares is for us

[raybies]

Anderson is falling because of his lack of athleticism. He's a liability on defense because he's too slow to guard SF's and athletic PF's, and he doesn't really have a set position. Not a great shooter either. Not surprised he's falling, especially in a deep draft.

And still with the Spurs team defense he could be a player to watch. I mean we got away with Manu and Marco. Marco. He could play here.

[Dverde]

Hopin KJ McDaniel is still out there when the Spurs draft.

[loveforthegame]

Didn't see that one coming.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Bogdan is gone..to Phoenix

[hsxvvd]

Brian Windhorst


The Heat did not consult with LeBron James on the Shabazz Napier pick, sources said. Though his thoughts were known.

:rollin what a fucking joke, they were shitting their pants they'd miss out on him and upset the queen.

[Spursfanfromafar]

CJ Wilcox to Clippers per Woj. Looks more and more like Kyle Anderson is the pick. Spursian intelligence.

[cd021]

KJ McDaniels could be a nice fit on the Spurs

[BatManu20]

Bogdanovic to the Suns. Bummer. He's who I wanted.

[tholdren]

Hopin KJ McDaniel is still out there when the Spurs draft.
OKC will get him, but he is who I hope we snag.

[Baam]

CJ Wilcox to Clippers per Woj. Looks more and more like Kyle Anderson is the pick. Spursian intelligence.

There's a spoiler thread...

[heyheymymy]

heat get everything they want and they still cant win

[Uriel]

OMG Suns got Bogdan

[mando6599]

Where did Anderson play college ball?

[BatManu20]

KJ McDaniels could be a nice fit on the Spurs

Spurs won't draft him based on his personality alone. Almost guarantee it.

[RD2191]

CJ Wilcox to Clippers per Woj. Looks more and more like Kyle Anderson is the pick. Spursian intelligence.
Spoiler thread, fuck man. Fuck.

[Blizzardwizard]

There's a damn spoiler thread guys..

[AFBlue]

Spursian intelligence is right...c'mon Spurs make it happen.

[cd021]

OKC will get him, but he is who I hope we snag.

I'm expecting them to pick Early

[exstatic]

UCLA


Where did Anderson play college ball?

[tholdren]

Where did Anderson play college ball?
UCLA

[BatManu20]

Yea no spoilers tbh. There's a thread for that.

[raybies]

Well unless the Spurs trade a future first for him, I had Nikola Jokic next. If Anderson falls, maybe him.

[Nathan89]

CJ Wilcox to Clippers per Woj. Looks more and more like Kyle Anderson is the pick. Spursian intelligence.

Fuck off faggot

[exstatic]

Clippers are rumored to be moving this pick.

[eDizzle20]

Lol. Espn showed the wrong Bogdanovic highlight reel.

[Dverde]

Bogdan haha. Thats like naming your kid John Johnson.

[Kool Bob Love]

[Texas_Ranger]

Lol at those morons showing the wrong bogdanovic

[spursparker9]

Fuck Phonenix.

Dragic and now this.

[Trill Clinton]

spurs better not take sorry ass tavares. inglis or mcdaniel plz

GUYS PLEASE DON'T SPOIL #29 and. #30

[kobyz]

Fuck MJ, doing Miami a favor, Miami just got the most ready PG in the Draft, fantastic move for them!

Spurs set on drafting Bairstow per Woj.







just kidding of course.

C'mon man, 95% chance they go foreign. Set yourself up for that.

[100%duncan]

:lol tell me when wade's knees are healthy and we'll start talkig about how the heat improved with a pg

[tholdren]

Spurs thinking aaron craft

[Mal]

Spurs are stacking this pick... So this has to be Ingles or Tavares
