Real men want information they can use as early as possible. Bring on the spoilers!

Hopefully the Bulls make another move one way or another (even if it's not a blockbuster Jimmy deal). Maybe trading Taj and or Dunleavy tomorrow and clearing their contracts if they really are planning to build around Jimmy.

Woj with The Vertical is hosting a live show with Yahoo and some of the guys from DraftExpress, that will be playing simultaneously with the ESPN broadcast:

I'm sure they'll break most of the draft picks before Adam Silver announces them, and they'll probably offer up better analysis than ESPN.

Team spoiler is in this place. If Bulls is real about building around Butler, take the highest ceiling player, not someone who will be ready to contribute on a 35 wins team. If Chriss/Labissiere are here, you take them without a doubt. I also hope they can purchase someone like Thon Maker with a late first round/early 2nd rounder.

Some Western teams are interested in trading for Nets Thad Young, which will get them in round 1.

And some teams have taken Thon Maker off their 1st round board, multiple sources believe he's 21-23 years old, not 19

This Valentine rumor has me bummed man. This FO doesn't have a vision so much as a "hey, I like that guy!" approach to personnel.

I almost think the Celtics are taking Dunn at 3 and then dangling the player in front of us, like a piece of steak in front of a starving dog.

They prefer value and supposed "safe" which makes it boring and vanilla.

Give us the 3rd pick, 23rd pick and next years Brooklyn pick with Bradley for Jimmy and the 14th. I think that's a good deal for both sides.

as long as they also get the 16 or 23, a young player + one of the future BKN picks go for it.
