The 2017 NBA Draft Thread

It's telling that top teams with cap issues like GSW (Bell, McCaw) and LAC (Evans, Thornwell) see the value in spending money for cheap developmental talent. We're a middling team with cap issues that doesn't think outside the box. I really hate this front office's philosophy and approach.

The Pels ended up selling our #52 for cash.

"We've had our eye on Frazier for a long time. Of course, that's because I have a lazy eye."

"In McCullough, it's like we already have our 2017 first round pick. Granted, he's already been in the league for 2 years and hasn't developed. And, we only have a year to decide to pick up his option, instead of the usual three years we'd get with an actual first rounder. So, it's like a first round pick, only with 66% less time to develop and evaluate him. But other than that, it's exactly like he's our 2017 first round pick."

Oh God, I think CCJ just died and went to heaven. Will be interesting to see if they bring in some legit talent with a few spots available.

No draft picks for 2 years. This is how decent teams become bad really quickly. SMH

A joke of a franchise that just keeps on giving. Sad that I'm so indifferent with this team. Don't really have any expectations while Terd and Grunfailed are in charge.

Our only hope is Sheldon Mac and Sato becoming NBA players this summer.....

I wonder how many of us will be posting here after the draft this time next year?

Or, a better question is how many of us won't be posting?

Popular posters like Rico and fishercob have left. This is the deadest this bored as ever been since I've been on it. Ernie Grunfeld makes it boring, too.

We trade a pick for Frazier. NO trades the pick for cash.

In effect, we gave NO some cash for a guy they were going to cut.

I have no idea why Ainge didn't trade for Butler. He went for peanuts. They could have kept Tatum and just given them the Nets pick next year. He's running out of guys to trade for.
