I can't believe you want Reddish after watching him put his shoulder down and barrel through defenders like they aren't there and getting called for charges all season!

Please, RealGm is sure to go down during draft hours. Is there a way to ban people if they start spoiling picks in the chat?

I didn't like Hayes at first after looking at his numbers because I hate bigs that struggle to rebound. But after actually watching some video of him moving on the court and reading that he didn't start playing basketball until a few years ago I'm sold on him. He is crazy agile and he will very likely develop a 3 point shot. He's a big built for the modern game. I'd be really excited if he falls to 12 and Mitch picks him.

Draft day brings back nostalgia of when I was a kid on Christmas Day. Same giddy feeling. Hope we don’t get a bag of coal!

I think realistically we draft a guard/wing, Little or Reddish or someone like that to replace Lamb.

The Knicks had Coby White in for a workout today, that seems odd maybe we are trading up to #3 in the draft.

Anyone going to the Hornets hosted draft party tonight? For once I’m actually going to be in Charlotte during a draft and was excited to go to my first draft party, but then I found out it is in some stuffy bar so now I’m kinda iffy on going. Don’t they usually take place in the arena or something ?

I really hope we come out of this draft with either a tough defender type big man (Goga?) or a good shooting guard (Langford, NAW, Herro)
No trades for old overpaid dudes.
Trading down for 2 picks sounds great though, then we could add both. Hopefully Boston sees someone they have to have at 12 and will give us 14/22 or similar. Hell, maybe throw in Monk and 12 and give us their 3 picks. I would love a cheap reset and influx of young talent with the 36 pick also. 4 new guys to build around Kemba, Bridges and Bacon.

Pels looking for a vet stretch 4 for 4th pick.


Spurs would be silly not to look into dealing Marvin for four and I am pretty sure the Pelicans would do it if they are serious about competing right now. Aldrige is gonna be 34 soon, but he is still a 20 10 guy and has a fine "old man game". Wouln't shock me if they Pels are only intrested in SUPERSTAR strech 4 Marvin Williams though.

Was listening to one of the Sirrus XM sports stations (ESPN or Mad Dog Radio, can't recall) but they were talking about how Hachimura is basically a sure thing. Said any team who drafts him outside of the top 10 has won their draft. I've been interested in him for a while (while not really knowing much or following these guys until very recently). I'd be happy if we walked away from tonight with him. Fills a need, is a modern PF and brings some new fans with him too.
