[dremill24]

McCaw to Bucks its just gonna be limbs flying everywhere in Milwaukee

Windhorst tweeted that Knight was in the Sacramento deal, but then he took it down and Zach Lowe tweeted that Knight is "NOT" in the Sac deal.

It'll be nice to have a backup PG that knows he's a backup PG, and not a starting PG.

McD lookin like hes had a drug cocktail of LSD, coke and acid, and hasnt slept for a week.

[DRK]

McD crackin jokes about drafting another Kentucky Guard

[Gorilla Warfare]

Chriss reminds Watson of Lamarcus Aldridge. The irony.

[King4Day]

While they got a couple good players, I feel like Boston was a big loser tonight. They couldn't trade for anyone they wanted. Pretty crazy

I like our draft much much much more than theirs, especially considering that they had a higher top-5 pick and 8(!) picks overall.

WHO. WHO IS THAT?!

[DRK]

Does us moving Bogdan show that we still have faith in Archie?

[Gorilla Warfare]

Of course the Rockets drafted Zhou Qi. The most loved NBA team by the Chinese people.

Bogdan is more intriguing than Archie.

I don't think so. My guess is we offered Archie first and they weren't enthused

[King4Day]

Well, this is the most excited I've been about the team since the Nash days
And free agency hasn't hit yet!

I think us drafting ulis is giving Archie one more chance...


Does booker get to play in the summer league this year??

[Frank Lee]

about to be the best draft in franchise history. somebody find one better.

Amare draft, Marion draft, Nash draft

Well, we traded Nash, so that basically doesn't count.

Chriss OR Bender could be the next Marion.

1975 we drafted Alvin Adams and Ricky Sobers

in 77 Walter Davis, Mike Bratz, Alvin Scott

Do your homework Peewee, as this is the biggest crapshoot draft we have ever made.


I'm not getting giddy about this. Bender ... Chriss... well, we gave up some potential talent (essentially 3 players) for a kid who doesn't know how to play basketball. I guess we wont know for awhile on both of these guys... Ulis was a complete waste. His is just too puny. That was a draft and stash moment wasted. I thought McMully would have learned from the value he had stashed with BogDan. Oh well....

I understand the optimism, but its 90% hope and 10% substance. Lets not go overboard with gush. We are essentially the same team as last yr. With a couple glaring holes. Something else has to happen this off season else we'll be right back in the same place next yr.

[bwgood77]

I still can't believe we ended up with Bender AND Chriss and added another Kentucky guard on top of that...but finally a Kentucky guard that passes and doesn't turn it over.

Watching the interviews now...McD saying "agents called us saying he WANTS to play in Phx"....sure, that's definitely true, but they probably called every team saying the same thing.

[MrMiyagi]

Does us moving Bogdan show that we still have faith in Archie?

I do. He's still younger than Buddy Hield and Kris Dunn.
