Not even sure how we'd make salaries match w/out trashing depth. Sessions/Lamb and 31?

French Frank
Mitchell
Kennard
Justin Jackson

Kennard will be the best player but we'd take Mitchell.

Is he kin to Billy Packer?

Or maybe it would be 11 + Lamb & Sessions, for 14 and TJ.

Regardless, seems like a lot of teams trying to get into our draft range.

Yup. It's his baby boy. Just as jaded and annoying.

That is an old tweet.

Didn't Tyler Johnson just extend for about $20m a year?

No thanks.

Son of Billy Packer. Mark was sport radio host on WFNZ in Charlotte for ages. He quit and went to satellite radio about 10 years ago. Still lives in Charlotte. He never very kind to the Hornets/Bobcats. His show was 99% college basketball/football, bringing out the worst in the UNC/Duke morons who like to call in local sports radio.

I would add the trade caveat that TJ could never again sport the bowl cut and chinstrap beard within the Charlotte city limits. Just awful to look at.

I think he has proven he is only a third wheel on a championship team. I want no part of his price.

Since then I've been fairly indifferent and willing to give anyone we draft a fair chance.

Tonight is no different. I'm SUPER excited for the draft but not overly invested in someone so much that if we pass on them I'll flip my ****.

Only because OG knees knocked him out of our drafting range.

Sounds about right. I couldn't stand Billy Packer, there is some guy on the Duke and UNC Scout boards named BillyWolfPacker!

Hoping for DSJ or Monk, but OK with Mitchell or Kennard. In Cho I trust......again.

New draft day tradition, take out BBQ. 2nd year in a row I've picked up take out BBQ for the draft.

Dude - after we screwed up last years draft you should have gone with something different!!

In the Spanish TV they are broadcasting the best plays from the Finals. Sad to believe that this draft is way more thrilling than those 5 games.

Moved pizza Friday to Thursday. Though I just got here to Pittsburgh and I parked behind somebody who's license plate says "PGH BBQ". Good ol Southern Guy from Lexington, NC who moved to Pittsburgh for love and opened a BBQ joint. I'm gonna be in heaven.
