2014 NBA Draft Thread

[The Young One]

He will NEVER make it through a full season. The guy gets hurt waking up in the morning.

Heard the Pistons really like Kyle Anderson.

 

[The Young One]

They need someone unselfish on that team.

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Lol why would the Cavs draft Exum #1?

 

[RipCity32]

Heard the Pistons really like Kyle Anderson.

Where?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Not anyone you'd know, but someone I trust.

 

[RipCity32]

Oh lol

I feel like that doesn't make too much sense for the 76ers. 

 

[Hurricane Season]

Thad wants out, and Nash is an expiring that matches his deal.  It's basically MCW for #7.

 

[Mexi]

Heard thad and 10 for 7

Makes more sense
They could get more for mcw and thad than just one pick

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah I wouldn't do MCW for 7. 

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I don't know if it's that bad. You get to unload Thad, which considering their moves at the deadline is something they've tried to do but have been unsuccessful so far. Then they can draft Exum, Aaron Gordon or Noah Vonleh, and then someone at 10.

Id take Exum and Randle and Harris in one draft easily

PR nightmare trading the ROY

After looking at the article that was referred to the other day, in which Chad Ford said Wiggins, Parker, and Embiid are three of the top twelve draft prospects since 2000. What a load of rubbish. He's got Wiggins and Embiid higher than Derrick Rose, and all of them (Wiggins, Embiid, Parker) rated higher than Blake Griffin, Ricky Rubio, Chris Paul, John Wall, Michael Beasley, Dwight Howard, etc. I mean you could pick this list apart with guys who are already in the league.

It's nothing more than Chad Ford doing what he was hired to do, and that's to hype up any particular draft class.

Nah it wouldn't be. His number are inflated on an awful team. Their coach loves Exum as well.

You're in such denial about this draft class haha.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

So you agree that those three are better prospects than Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, John Wall and so on?

And what exactly am I in denial about? Do you disagree that it is a good but not great class? Don't just say I'm in denial, provide an actual reason.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Also, I know people think I don't buy into the hype for this class because the Pelicans lost their lottery pick this year and as a result I'm trying to shit on this class or something like that. I've said numerous times that's not the case, that I've never bought into the hype of this class. Here's proof, a day before last years draft:

But btw, I'm going to laugh when we get to the draft next year and people are saying "I thought this was supposed to be one of the best drafts ever. What happened?"

Has nothing to do with my team, just how I've always felt about the class. It's good, not great.
