2017 NBA Draft Day Thread

[chellis]

So we traded for Dwight and upgraded picks then trade the upgraded pick for the pick 1 spot ahead of the original and cash.

Basically no point in that entire part of the trade, other than cash grab.

What a night ruined, we had a perfect night unless we get Evans, Mason, Semi or Morris!

LOL a second rounder ruins your night?

I bet we had moved up to 31 to get White or Hart. When they were gone, we traded back for cash, into a range where they could still get someone they had liked. Just my hunch.

I bet you're right. I think most of us want Semi, but highly doubtful that's who they take.

Is that a blinged boutonniere or a tiny lapel pin?

[amcoolio]

Well I know of Semaj Christon, who sucks, and Dwight Powell, who we could use

Jeremy Tyler

(who people FREAKED OUT over when we traded - and he sucked)

Logical. Bell, Rabb, Mason, Evans.

That makes more sense

Not really ruined but he fit a need. Let's see who we get at 40 (unless MJ sells it).

New Orleans doesn't own the #52?

I imagine we wanted White or Hart, decided to move back when they weren't there.

[UNCNYC]

What are the odds someone in the Charlotte media asks about the rationale to this trade? 10%?

I need Blackout to either confirm this and explain it to me, slowly, with lots of easy words... or deny it.

How does trading back and keeping the pick save us from the tax line? The difference between 31 and 40 in terms of money can't be much. Or does this pretty much guarantee we are trading 40 as well?

They got it from Washington by trading Frazier to them.

[MrMorrow]

We don't have a lot of roster spots if you include Treveon Graham, Sessions, Roberts, and Johnny O'Bryant. (and Briante Weber)

Do you think this is related to tax line in any way?

I was under the impression we could sign second rounders to whatever contract we wanted. I didn't think 2nd round contracts were structured like first rounders. But that's also the old CBA.

[fatlever]

and Did we get 40 and 52? or just 40? It's just 40, right?
