Draft News Thread

I really hope at the end of the day though we do take Tristian Thompson. It's the most logical choice, and the best compliment to Monroe, which should be the focus of the draft this year.

Both Leonard and Thompson canceled their next workouts after working out with us.
Hmmmmmmmmm.

A better 3 point shooting Terrell Brandon. Is that a good comp for Kyrie Irving? Chris Paul is his ceiling most likely, but who knows if he'll reach it.

I really hope Rod doesnt take J Ham...ill flip shit.

The Knicks are talking to a few teams about acquiring a late first-round pick. Multiple sources believe they would target a point guard.

imo, unless Jimmer is still on the board, the Knicks will certainly go big, prolly with Faried

 

[RipCity32]

I heard the Pistons might deal #8 for #14 and #23 from Houston.
Not sure how I feel bout that.

Danny Ainge may be willing to trade anyone on the Celtics' roster, according to Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated.
"I think he’s talking about moving everybody. I really do," Mannix told WEEI Radio in Boston. There are no specific rumors here, and it's extremely difficult to envision Ainge actually dealing a major piece like Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett or Rajon Rondo, but he has shown a willingness to make unexpected deals in the past.

I really hope we don't trade Rondo

We wont deal Rondo. Im pretty sure if anybody gets traded from Boston its gonna be KG. Pierce is the captain and Ray Ray said he wouldnt mind coming off the bench.

I'm gonna do a final mock tomorrow, I'll post it in that thread too.

 

[RipCity32]

Ditto.

Cool beans.

With top prospects in New York Thursday for media and service responsibilities, a person familiar with the draft discussions said the Pistons appear to have zeroed in on Texas small forward Tristan Thompson with the eighth pick. Thompson canceled other scheduled workouts after working out for the Pistons with five other players Wednesday.

Hell yeah.

 

[DJT]

No surprise there.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Small forward? LOL

Sounds like a reliable source.

 

[DJT]

SF/PF eh....close enough. But yeah, he won't play SF.

 

[RipCity32]

Small forward? LOL

Sounds like a reliable source.
