2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

[NUMBERICA]

Imagine where we'd be just if DL didn't blow his load on a 15 MPG, broken center with no ball skills.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

There has to be a medical red flag with Butler. No other explanation.

 

[Elizah Huge]

This is what we should have done last year as well with Udoka.

@ anyone saying 3 2nds for 30 is good.....let me remind you, 31 netted FOUR seconds

well it depends where the picks are when you draft. 3 2nds can be better than 4 seconds if the 3 2nds are higher picks. We don't know who owns the 2nd round picks. They may be from other teams.

 

[NAOS]

Not with Butler on the board…. Not with how many second rounders we’ve pissed away for no god damn reason.

Where’s the ****ing banana bread?

You’re not already eyeballs-deep in that bread?

 

[jom2003]

2 seconds can get you to move up 10 spots in the draft. DL gave up 5 seconds basically for free last summer.

 

[Jazzinho]

I hate DL. Awful decisions last year.

 

[Hekate]

This is what we should have done last year as well with Udoka.

Jackson went 22 and I think he is likely a worse prospect.

Should've just not blown the pick, but yeah, this type of thing certainly would've been an upgrade to last year's abject embarrassment.

@Handlogten's Heros has been the real winner tonight no matter what happens the rest of the draft

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

OKC, NOLA, and DET each have 3 2RPs.

 

[Ineptimusprime]

Why couldn’t we get this deal lol

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

There is but he’s cleared. Nba teams always overreact to this ****.. it’s a great opportunity to take a swing on a guy… we need a big hit. He’s so ****ing good.

Half the time they are thrown into deals regardless of where they are. Ask me how I know....

 

[NAOS]

Maybe Butler or Ayo fall to 40. Or we trade back up to around 35 and still get the guy we wanted while gaining assets.

Dude. Why do you persist? This **** is over.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Okay so.....on to the 2nd round.

Ayayi, Jones, JRE, Petrusev, Todd, Vrenz, Weiskamp

 

[Ineptimusprime]

JRE gone.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Oh wow. Yeah. WTF.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Why didn’t you warn me?!?!? Just let me walk right into this bill **** again… some friend you are.

 

[jom2003]

We did have done this kind of deal before. In 2017 we traded Josh Hart and Thomas Bryant to move up 2 spots to grab Tony Bradley.
