Last year, we had NJ pick and lost tie breaker to Kings. Granted we got fortunate with the ping pong balls later, but as far as the toss, once again we lost it: https://www.nba.com/2011/news/04/15/draft.ties/index.html ? Year before - 2010 - we had Knicks pick, and lost tie breaker toss to...

Not in recent memory. I can think of a few times they lost the toss though. Once there was a 3 team flip, and Jazz came last (the year David West was drafted 17-19 was decided by a toss, and Jazz got 19. David went 18th). If Toronto wins the flip tonight, this would be the first time I can think...

Right now Burks, Favors, and Kanter collectively are not qualified to carry DWill jock strap. So, I would withhold the judgement at the moment. Kanter was 3d overall pick and has not done much. Favors is doing better, but did not improve at all from last year. Now, I hope in a few years they...

We are talking about a 3d string PG here. Tinsley is a decent option there. McLeod is just an insurance - practice squad type of signing. Harris, Watson, and Tinsley is quite solid. Watson was a great back-up last year, and Harris, while no Deron, was still 15 and 7 guy last year, which is not...

My response was to someone who began speculating about the numbers Kanter will put up, saying it will be less than 14 and 8. Where were you then calling him stupid for speculation? Or is it only stupid to speculate when it disagrees with you? My mistake. Let's base our opinion on a HS Summit...

PKM saw it with his own eyes.

Well, he was 3d pick in the draft, and from what we've been told he was dominating Cousins and was so much better than DeMarcus, it wasn't even close. Cousins went 5th and averaged 14 and 9 in 28 mins. If Kanter is so much better already, a year younger, picked higher, wouldn't it be reasonable...

Good point about Maggs athleticism. Burks is a decent athelete too, but he is no Maggs. Overall, I just don't know if Burks will make it. With his advertised abilities you would think he would make more difference in College basketball. I can't say I am too excitied about this pick, but I am...

KOC was flat out asked if he was surprised if Burks was available, and he did not say that he was. Jimmer, Kemba, and Knight are difference makers. They actually helped their teams get ranked, and move far in the tournament. Walker and Knight reached final 4, with Kemba winning it all. Jimmer...

I agree, ability to get to the line and create his own shot are really good for this kid, but let's not compare him to Wade just yet. Wade took his team to final 4, and was a true difference maker. Burks has some of the same qualities, but nowhere near a difference maker Wade was. Maybe Maggette...

The biggest thing about Burks is his ability to create his own shot and draw FTs. He can drive to both left and right. He is a decent defender. Good passer. Nice size, decent athleticism. Good overall connect from the floor, which coupled with the number of times he got fouled, is really...

KOC took a risk here, drafting unproven guy, so let's just hope he saw more things being closer to Kanter than the fans, and the risk will pay-off. Can't wait to see him in the summer league.

Whatever it is, but him changing his mock back to Kanter is not a good sign. It might be a uneventful draft night after all...

This is really not bad at all. Sure, this team will not contend next year, but a year or 2 from now, Favors, Hayward, Jimmer, and DWill will be a few years in the League and might develop into star players, while AJ, Millsap, and Harris are solid veterans, who are still young enough. I think...

I think Enes at #2 might be for real for 3 reasons. 1) I just don't see the point for the smokescreen at #2 overall. Wolves gain nothing from declaring they are drafting a different player. I think, just like Cavs declared they are drafting Irving, Wolves did the same with DWill. In other...

If Wolves really think it is really close, Kanter makes more sense to them, I agree, just because he can step right alongside Love and Beasley without disrupting the team. If they draft Williams, now they need to trade a young 20ppg scorer, further complicating things. That makes sense, of...

The teams bidding for Kanter WERE ALREADY in sweepstakes. #2 pick allows you to get EITHER Kanter or Williams, not just Williams.

With that said, Givony changes his mock draft to show Kanter at #2. I think Kanter at #2 might be real. I can't believe such good fortune (us getting Dwill 2), until i see it, but I don't think there is any point for the Wolves to set up any smokescreens.

Kanter is still Kanter, whether he is picked at #3 or #2. If teams want to part with x amount of assets for Kanter, they will give these same assets whether he is #3 or #2. Their objective is to get Kanter. To them Kanter is worth x. They will give x for whatever pick Kanter is going in or any...

They can call them regardless. If they get their pick, they can pick ANYONE but Irving. Your theory makes no sense.
