We got Young KD.
SIXERS WON THE DRAFT
TYBH
>>68864767
They stayed put and used all of their draft picks although they traded their 31st and 35th pick for a future late first rounder.
They were expecting a trade for the 3rd pick but its quite obvious that the Bulls and Sixers were also overvaluing their own assets.
>>68864767
they had a lot of first round picks including the #3 pick, but they already have an overflow of young talent so they wanted to trade the picks for an established player. they tried to get Jimmy Butler, Nerlens Noel, and a couple others. no one took their offers.
now Celtics are stuck with literally 10 first/second year developing players and no stars

everybody staying
>in light of the Skal and Papagiannis drafting
Kevin Love and Jordan McRae for Willie Cauley Stein, Darren Collison, Ben McLemore.
Cavs get a good young rim protector on a super cheap long term deal because LeBron won't be able to play point center in the playoffs at 34, a backup point guard since Delly is gone, and a reclamation project wing with some upside a la Shump/JR who could pan out maybe. This probably means LeBron at the 4, which might save his legs and might beat him up.
Kings get to trot out a big name who would like to prove star power and finally spacing next to Boogie. Love/Cousins might be an elite offensive frontcourt. Also Sacramento is dumb and susceptible to big names (Rondo). McRae is mostly filler but with McLemore gone Sacramento should be bad and and empty enough for McRae to get some run and see if the flashes of potential he had in Cleveland are there.
WCS is super valuable but the Kings now have four centers and no shooting.
>>68864813
except cousins is an autist and wants to play the 4 and they are gonna end up trading him next year anyway
>>68864902
Love isn't going anywhere. Even if he didn't have the game 7 performance he wasn't going anywhere. McCrae is a different story though.

He has great potential. Can hit the three, is athletic for a non black guy (actually won a dunk contest). He used to dominate the lower age groups and actually got significant minutes in Euroleague. He's still kinda raw though and VERY weak physically. Unless he buffs up, I doubt he can be a role player in NBA

u guys are lucky u have Larry Legend, he seems to actually know what hes doing. a lineup of Jeff Teague, Monta Ellis, Paul George, Thaddeus Young, and Myles Turner is fucking insane. elite offense and nearly elite defense too. they might actually make the finals if the Cavs dont care about winning anymore
>>68865005
Too early to tell senpai
We'll see if KD re-signs and then we can judge the rest of the roster desu
Outside of LeBron and Durant, who will obviously sign one year deals so they can make more money next season, there are no elite players in free agency.
Every team's best bet is to hold the fort and wait for next year's massive class that might include KD and LeBron.
>>68864769

Looks good.
Why is this kind of body shape allowed?
>>68865033
If KD resigns for one more year, Thunder would have the most stacked team in the league by far. If they can't win a championship with that roster, I doubt KD would stay.
>>68865005
No.
You gave up a perennial all-star having a down year for Dion Waiters with a better motor (Oladipo), and a slightly better Andrea Bargs (Ersan).
Even if your pick pans out, it will take two to three years and by that time both Durant and Westrbook will be gone.
They sold low on Ibaka because they know their team is done.
>>68865017
Nice flag, mind if I save it?
>>68865005
It's a good trade if Durant leaves or if he signs a long term deal. It's only a bad trade if he signs a 1 year deal and you do worse than this year and he leaves because of it.
>>68865056
I found it impossible for someone to be skinnier than KD and play in the NBA.

The guy has really broad shoulders and would most likely beat your ass in a second.
He's wiry strong. He just needs to add 25 pounds and he'd be as big as Scottie Pippen.
I think Ingram's comp is Pippen, because they both work well with the ball and without the ball, they do well in isos and they play strong defense because of their long and wiry frames.
>>68865089

Their entire relevance is predicated on Brooklyn's picks because nobody wants to play in Boston and they are getting blackballed by the league because the league is jealous of all the free picks they got from the retarded Nets. Ainge is never getting a free meal trade again.
Their future looks bright enough, but both Isaiah and Bradley's contracts end in two years. Those two are the best players on the team and the Celtics have not found a complimentary big man or even a 6'8+ man to give them a physical presence.
Celtics outthink themselves too much. They should have traded Bradley, #3, #16 pick for Butler. You have to overpay for stars when nobody wants to play for you.
>>68865232

I like they went PF in the first round. I just wish Ellenson was better at his inside game. Kinda sick of seeing our PF's shoot mid range jumpers and 3's. I want a guy who is dominate in the paint.
Still they were lucky to get him so late and I think SVG can work some magic. Hopefully next season we see improvement from the team. Still worried about our guards off the bench.

nothing
if danny ainge drafted a guard it wouldn't make sense

What happens to Ricky Rubio? Is he veteran leadership young enough to stay in his prime with the youngsters? He's not that valuable considering how deep the point guard position is and how bad his injury/shooting history is. In light of all the centers Sacramento just drafted, could Rubio and Dieng net WCS? Probably not. Rubio, Dieng, and Shabbazz? Eh. I just think reuniting WCS and KAT would be neat.
>>68865377
I am pretty happy with his pick but I am really afraid that his defense is not the greatest and how bad is his athleticism?
>>68865306
>Ainge is never getting a free meal trade again.
They said that when Perkins was traded for Jeff Green and years later Phoenix surrenders Thomas for peanuts and Billy King with three unprotected first rounders.
Danny Ainge won't allow the Celtics to get fleeced.
>>68865381
Possibly neither team, but probably the Lakers. Okafor is better now but Philadelphia has more centers. Russell can be a good scoring combo guard, which would fit nicely with Simmons.
>>68865280
Randle. Not super high on him or Russell, Felder has that elite athleticism and explosiveness that will translate. He looks like a clone of IT with monster hops and would be fucking fun to watch.
>>68865381
Lakers.
You don't trade 3 point shooting and great passing point guards for slow and terrible defending centers. Not in the modern NBA.
"Before the season Barnes turned down a $64 million deal so that he could see a larger offer this summer. But with his poor play, it doesn't look like Barnes is worth the $20 million annually he is probably seeking"
Hahahahahahah fuuuuuuck that fuckin sucks.
>>68865398
His defense and athleticism are both mediocre at best. He needs to put on a little muscle imo. He's a bit of a lanklet. At 18 I wasnt expediting anything special. I was happy to read that he is pretty good in the post though which I think the Pistons are in desperate need of. Even Andre is pretty shitty in the post.

Went from no picks and an unhappy player in the last year of his contract who would have walked in free agency and turned that into a big that's supposed to be pretty NBA-ready, a serviceable replacement for said unhappy player, and a 2 that closes the biggest roster hole and makes a player who had clear chemistry issues with Durant expendable (which massively helps the odds of him re-signing in theory) all at the same time. If Durant does re-sign after this I'd probably bump it up to a 10/10.

D'Angelo one great skill: passing and one solid skill in shooting. He also is a tall PG with long arms. He played capable defense at times. He's also only 20 years old.
Guy showed flashes of brilliance during the season, but Byron benched him most of the year because he was immature and he had NOBODY to pass to. Imagine if he had a capable big guy to do a pick and roll with? He'd turn into a top ten PG.
>>68865442
Yeah he is young. He has all the tools to work hard. I am excited for him.
>>68865067
The fact Ibaka was growing increasingly unhappy, had a role that was only going to diminish further as Adams continues to rise and Kanter learns how to play defense, and was all but guaranteed to leave in free agency if he wasn't traded makes getting anything for him a net positive in the long-term, never mind a trade generally considered to be OKC ripping off Orlando.

how it'll be 4-0 cavs

His biggest contribution is providing someone at the 2 who can defend and play offense, mitigating the harm done by Roberson on that end, while also making Waiters, a player Durant clearly did not get along with, expendable.
The Ibaka deal being good or not is predicated on whether or not Victor Oladipo can be a good shooter when he's not in a bad offense. With Durant and Westbrook, can he knock down open 3s? Westbrook/Dipo/Roberson/Durant/Adams with Kanter, Sabonis, Waiters, Payne, Morrow, Ilyasova should do well against Golden State. Interested to see what they do next. Durant is almost definitely signing a 1 and 1 now. They just filled their biggest hole, got two rotation players (one of whom is young but NBA ready), and cleared up space.

he was by far the 2nd best rookie of the year, and in any other draft class he would be THE rookie of the year. hes unlucky in that KAT had pretty much the best rookie season of all time so he got overshadowed
>>68865566
Didn't he want Napier too in Miami?
>>68865476
>Oladipo was 34% from three last season
That'll obviously improve since he'll get more open shots but he's not exactly what you call a 3 and D player. I sorta expect him to be like Reggie and come off the bench desu
>>68865566
>Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpearsESPN 1h1 hour ago There isn't an NBA player that is a bigger fan of Cavs draftee Kay Felder than Draymond Green who has been singing his praises for a while.
is lebron trying to get in their heads? leGM is truly next level
>>68865544
>nuggets won
YES
>britain lost
NO
>>68865545
Bender at his age is better then Kukoc when Kukoc was 18. He has to work very hard, build his stature, and I think Bender could come out to be the best player in the draft. For a 7 foot guy who can run the floor, pass, shoot, he is very dangerous.
>>68865587
Am I a cuck if I would take Myles Turner over him?
>>68865214
Can Porzingis leave that trash fire?
Anthony is gonna be past it, and Drose is a walking disabled list.
>>68865589
I'd trade Ibaka for Sabonis, Ilyasova, and a younger friendlier Reggie Jackson desu
>>68865573
>4-0
You already got btfo, Australia out
>>68865558
He looked more like an NBA player on Oklahoma than Hield, 6'4 combo guard who can get buckets but he never really asserted himself, like he was just cool with Buddy meme chucking all the time.
>>68865566
LeGM strikes again
repeat incoming
>>68865578
what did he mean by this?
>tfw when Simmons will NEVER develop to his full potential because the fucking 76er's drafted him first
it's sooooo fucked
>>68865609
Yeah it's an excellent trade. I also hope Ersan stays, he's a solid stretch 4.
Too bad he's actually 32, not 29
>>68865606
No. Turner is a better player
>>68865614
so Rondo can drive the lane and pass up to Cousins for boards, or fire out to Boogie/Willie for 3's?
>>68865602
nuggets look real good m8 how excited are you for next season
>>68865606
probably. Myles is fucking great but hes pretty much a slightly poor man's Porzingis. they're both mobile big men who can shoot and play decent defense, but I think Porzingis shoots a bit better
>>68865589
He closes the hole mainly by being pretty good all around, basically a better version of Dion Waiters. The hole is mainly created by Roberson being an all-world defender but an offensive liability (his going off in game 4 aside, the Warriors basically being able to play 5 on 4 defense was a big part of their winning the series) while Waiters is a serviceable offensive option and a defensive liability which was compounded by the fact that he was often on the floor with another defensive liability. Oladipo is someone who would be "good enough" on both ends and prevent teams from taking advantage of a glaring deficiency on one end at the 2.
>>68865621
He's part of Lebrons crew, there's no way they wont get him the hell out once they see the 76ers treat him like garbage
>>68865583
The Celtics picks are all decent especially the ones taken in the second round, they don't need Kris Dunn, Murray or Hield since there's a logjam in the backcourt already.

pretty much exactly what we need, most of our needs were going to come through free agency anyways but this is fine
>>68865621
no he wont develop his potential because he doesnt have a jumpshot
Okafor
Noel
Simmons
Stauskis
Ish Thomas
bench: Embiid, Covington
On paper, this is the most retarded team I've ever seen. They could easily go 15 wins again and get the top pick next year.
>>68865663
I think that's their plan. If they get the #1 pick every year eventually they'll have to be good, even if it's only a complete accident.
>>68865628
I can't even remember who we've drafted or traded for BUT I'M OPTIMISTIC AF SENPAI PLEASE TELL ME WHO WE GOT
So it's safe to say the Orlando Magic will never be good again, right?
>>68865672
the whole organization's master plan is to tank every year, literally jew their way to the #1 pick and then sell them to the highest bidder. they don't give a FUCK
>>68865663
Zingis and Nerlens wouldve been the GOAT duo
Fuck this piece of shit jahlil
>>68865672
talent isn't enough to make a team good or have you learned nothing from houston or the kings
>>68865672
>complete accident
Yes goy....it's an "accident"
Cousins will be MVP next year.
CTRL+Prtsc this.
>>68865663

>implying
the 76ers are ushering in the age of big ball: absolutely no fucking manlets allowed
heres the real 2016-17 lineup for the Sixers
>PG: Simmons
>SG: Saric
>SF: Embiid
>PF: Noel
>C: Okafor
Simmons has played PG before, Saric is a sharpshooter, Embiid has a midrange game and can defend the perimeter, and Noel/Okafor will play their natural positions in the paint. The entire starting 5 will be 6'10 or taller and it will be fucking glorious.
>>68865625
Sounds like something the Kings would do
>>68865696
houston has harden and kings has boogie
probably the biggest cancers in the league
>>68864720
>grizzlies
>B+
im happy with the baldwin and davis picks. 2 lottery talents at 17 and 31 is a pretty good deal. not sure what to think about the other 2 picks; both draft and stash guys.
>>68865704
>>SF: Embiid
>>68864743
Yes. Second unit beast with all star potential a la IT
>>68865644
Murray is an absolute retarded pick. He is basically a taller Marcus Smart. And Marcus Smart is not that much different than Avery Bradley. And then there's fucking Rozier who is exactly the same player as the other three.
They have six guards who aren't going to get you a superstar talent in a trade: Thomas, Rozier, Smart, Bradley, Young, Brown
And then they signed Euro stash trash that will not benefit the team until two or three years.
They should have traded the pick. They should have went after Boogie cousins with a Godfather offer.
>>68864720
Fucking dog shit. Masai is getting exposed
>>68865704
You have no idea how badly i unironically want this to happen
So are the Thunder going into legit reboot mode?
Fuck please no Durant to Golden State
