You'll still get Jabari. Congratulations.

And you may get LaVine at 10.

I think you'll have a sensational draft.

Sixers will be fun to watch.


If Milwaukee take Jabari Parker, we'll likely take Dante Exum, and then probably James Young or Zach LaVine at #10th overall. I'm hoping we follow through with this

I'm also still on board for trading MCW, but it depend on the offer. If we can't find a suitable proposal for him on draft day, then we can stand the chance to be patient and wait until the trade deadline for the right deal


Wiggins has more upside and the Bucks really need a superstar not a guaranteed star even if his upside is Paul Pierce.

I think you'll get Parker and LaVine.

If any team can afford a major project like LaVine its the Sixers.

picks like that are a blessing sometimes as you just take whose left. You can't really stuff it up.

Like Denver with Melo or Seattle with Durant

I think Cleveland take Andrew Wiggins instead of Joel Embiid with their new GM in place. The new GM is going to follow the projections and take the consensus top prospect to avoid putting himself on the burner

The question is if Milwaukee would take Embiid or Parker

Exactly. I just didn't want for us to take Andrew Wiggins. That would've set us back for years trying to develop him into a superstar status player that he'll never be. I want Jabari Parker so bad, but I'd settle for Joel Embiid or Dante Exum as building blocks that may not be stars, but will be impact players

They might go into that luxury tax a bit and rescind Turner.

I need Lance to go punch Wade in the face during a pivotal play and get tossed or something. He needs to look riskier or we'll never get him.

typical heat close game where they clamp down on defense the last 5 minutes while making all the right plays on offense.

Paul George kind of dwindled down the stretch of that game (as if he didn't struggle throughout), and the Miami got away with a few aggressive defensive plays that could've been fouls, but they are the cHeat after all. Joey Crawford wasn't assigned tonight's game to call fouls that would seal a Pacers victory

I'm thinking the same. They may steal one more, but I think Miami wins this series fairly easily.

Paul George has no heart, and is cotton soft. When Vogel took the ball from Lance's hands, (Lance is the real inspirational leader on that team by the way, he and West) and put it in George's the team lost and never recovered. This series is probably over, I'll truly be surprised if Indy wins another game.

This may have something to do with his struggles down the stretch. Just maybe

Grizzlies have agreed to let Joerger interview with the T'Wolves. Sound like they just want him gone. What a mess.
