I'm drunk and sleepy, someone let me know if the Knicks do anything exciting.

I don't know what we traded but seeing who we picked can we take it back? Feels like this guy would have been there at 40

Are the Mavs going to be the only team in the league that doesn't do a thing tonight?

Yeah, but now you have him on a rookie scale 4 year deal, rather than being able to negotiate any sort of contract you want! :wink:

As a Kings fan I'd prefer this over what they did.

Man, the ABC crew was MUCH better than this ESPN crew. Perkins is painful.

Why wouldn't they move up for McBride or Ayo? What the heck man

Yeah, but now you have him on a rookie scale 4 year deal, rather than being able to negotiate any sort of contract you want!

Depending on the exact 2nds that is rough, rough value for a ten spot move in a vacuum. For another guy who looked likely to be available without the move...

Memphis FO really testing my faith.

Apparently there was some chatter that OKC was interested in him with 34 or 36 so Memphis felt the need to jump them.

EDIT: A super in depth look at him is in the draft thread on the Memphis board. jman actually scouted him so worth a look if you are like me and had to google the name after the pick.

Jazz get Jared Butler at #40! He's obviously a big gamble healthwise, but I'm happy to trade #30 for him and get some future 2nds on top.

Did everyone go home?

I was already home!

Sharife Cooper finally off the board. Wonder if he'll play for the Hawks or if they'll still look for a veteran guy to back up Trae instead.

Disappointed with OKC moves more so 32 for 34/36 like using 55 might not be enough
