NBA Thread Before The Draft and EXCLUSIVE NEWS 2/6/2017

>drafting Jackson when you are getting PG13 anyway

Fake

>>76703274
PG13 will slide to SG position

>>76703281
You think they intend to have Clarkson or Ennis be the PG?

They are drafting Ball.

Kyrie in 2018, think about it

is the draft actually starting at 7 or is it gonna be like a 2 hour preshow?

>tfw 5'6 115lbs
How do I grow?

>>76703388
Its roughly at 730est when picks start

>>76703400
just become a qt trap honestly

I have a feeling the draft isn't going to go as expected at all. Jackson will fall to 5. The Celtics are gonna mix it up with a trade.

>ESPN Sources: Phoenix, Denver discussed trade that would feature Eric Bledsoe in exchange for Emmanuel Mudiay and No. 13 pick. Talks fluid.

>should really go for a run
>looks like its about to rain and dont wanna miss any draft action
wat do lads?

>>76703438
god what a boring trade

>>76703444
nigga get a treadmill

This will be the final draft order

1) Ball
2) Jackson
3) Fultz

anyone ITT black irl?

Damn I just want to play some 2k, 2k17 MyLeague is almost perfect in my opinion

>>76703444

Spurs getting george.
They sold him on the idea of george / green / kawhi as the single greatest threat to warriors supremacy.

I've definitely constructed some elite defensive teams in 2k17, MyLeague is the best it's ever been all they can do for me at this point is take some of the elements from MyGM and implement them into MyLeague (coach badges, should be able to offer retiring players a coaching position, etc)

Very good, maybe the 3rd/4th best team in the league.

But if you're new to the NBA, it's EXTREMELY top heavy in that there's a HUGE gap between the best teams and everybody else.

Golden State

POWER GAP

Cleveland Cavaliers

POWER GAP

San Antonio Spurs/Boston Celtics (after this offseason)

Small gap

Everyone else.

I see what you're saying, the way they have the controllers set up nowadays a basketball feel better/more realistic in your virtual hands than it does in real life. I go to the park in real life and miss MULTIPLE wide open shots, hop on 2k and i'm making the shots I'm supposed to make and missing the ones I should.

>>76703560
Boston is a good team to bandwagon for foreigners. They play basketball the right way. Sharing the ball, taking open shots, playing tough defense. Have fun!

>>76703774
Lonzo gets a lot of shit because of his idiot father, but you should be.

He's a great all around player.

His shot may not translate to the NBA, but everything else he does will.

If you push Porzingis out then surely Carmelo will have no option but to follow, in Phils delusional mind.

>>76703753
yeah Celtics and Spurs would actually be fine to leave in at their current states, I'm just assuming what will happen after this year

It's not that I'm mad at the franchises but it's a lot more interesting when you don't know who will win

>Ball Control

What did he mean by this?

does Lavar have some sort of psychic powers that allow him to control all spherical objects? Is this how he plans on getting all of his sons drafted to the lakers? By literally controlling the lottery balls?? The earth is spherical - does that mean he can control the rotation of the planet itself?

how fucking deep does this go. This is some spooky shit

>>76706065
I think it's some law of attraction type shit. LaVar has a powerful will.

Tatum looks NBA-ready to me.

the celtics could have had jimmy butler instead of him though...

>>76706614
Because Ainge wants to keep his picks like Smeagol wants the ring.

>>76706739
Isn't PG just going to leave at the end of the next season? Not really sure why any org would go out of their way to get him, unless Indy is willing to let him go for cheap just to get SOME value.

>>76706766

>Porzingas

Say what you want but Phil has been a decent drafter so far

>>76706788
Of course he's going to be cheap, the dude is leaving next year.

And he's not going to leave Boston if they put a winning team around him.

>>76706798

if he's going to draft randoms, why not trade down like celtics are doing and get the most value out of it?

>>76707732

Most players come back fine from 1 acl tear. This isn't the 80s grandpa. Dunn was handcuffed by Thibs just like Buddy was with Gentry and never got to work through rookie mistakes. If this deal doesn't make Minnesota a title contender in 2-3 years then it was a bad deal

Goddamn this draft is taking forever

Remember when Danny Ainge was getting Jimmy Butler for sure? Good times, eh Celtics lifelongs?

>>76708378
Celtics are fucked now, PG wont stay in Boston especially with that crowded SF position, Ainge is a goddamn retard

If Lakers are using their picks, I expect them to take a stretch four and perhaps another PG

>>76708404
Feels Good for us in Philly. the 76ers got the consensus #1 guy in the draft, and only gave up MCW to get it

>>76708419
They already have a stretch four in Julius Randle.

>>76708419
They'll pick a wing

>>76708466
Remains to be seen how good his 3 is desu

>>76708466
He's not even a better shooter than Nance

As a Celtics fan, I want to end it all right now

This is literally the worst outcome, fucking Jimmy Buckets to the Twolves for the corpse of Lavine and Dunnbust

>>76708568
Kidd had no one to pass to with the Nets and led to them to the Finals back to back seasons.

HAHA TIME FOR LAKEYS

>>76708587
FUCKING KEK

this is why Danny passed on him. the kid is a mental midget.

Ingram and Randle will benefit the most by him. Zubac could average 15/10 given proper minutes. He won't but Lopez can score well

Kidd was in the league nearly 10 years by then. This is more like Kidd's terrible Suns.

>Ainge passed on Butler for this beta cuck at 3

Feels bad, I was ready to see Buckets and my Jaylen Brown play together

Holy fuck, imagine we could have had Fultz, Butler, Brown, Crowder, Horford next season? Im so fucking done with Danny

Someone explain to me why Chicago rather have a player that thrives on his athleticism coming off a torn ACL, and a rookie who couldn't even get playing time on the Timberwolves instead of their own chance to draft players from the Celtics.

Is this just a favor to Thibs? Did the Bulls not want to trade in conference?

>Derrick White
Did Spurs do good?

>>76708912

Ainge was trying to jew them. Reports are this deal was by far the best offer they got. Makes sense seeing as the cavs were in it for a while without offering Kyrie or Love

So utahs pick is the lakers?

>>76708964
They fucked up this time.

>>76708912
