The Official 2015 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Leasy]

Y'all gonna give us our pick back

 

[Leasy]

This may be the worst pre draft rumors I have ever seen. Never see so many smokescreens ever. Shout to Philly spicing sports up with Chip Kelly and Sam Hinkie.

This'll be a common occurrence if I had to bet. Those BK picks looked great at the time, now it's like Joe's in the final year of his contract and Deron's contract isn't guaranteed after next season. Nets will have a good coach and plenty cap in 2016, those picks won't be worth much when it's all said and done.

Guess we taking Russell then

lets get al the fukk outta here

main word in there is "he thinks." looks like Woj has no source in the Lakers draft room.

Jay Williams was pretty adament on Sportscenter that he got word from a source he trusts that Russell is the pick. Kevin Ding (lakers beat writer) is also a very trustworthy source.

they are adamant its Russell, while Woj only "thinks" we're taking Okafor.

I'm gonna be mad as shyt if we walk away from this draft with Sam Dekker

 

[Leasy]

Guess we taking Russell then

That's fine. He won't be as good as he could be with 76ers. He will be the face here but I guess we grab Dwayne Wade the second Mudiay.

Robert Covington is gonna explode next season for Philly btw Finished top 10 in the Nba in 3 pointers made and he joined the joined the team like 20 games into the season

If Saric comes over, Covington is a rotation player. His game isn't all-court enough for him to really "explode"

No idea what the Hornets are doing now.

I think it's their pick (16 I believe) and sully for 9. Still haven't seen any confirmation though, I just read that Sully unfollowed the Celtics and started following the Hornets though, if that's actually true I'd say it's confirmed.

A lot of smoke out there... people also saying the hornets and knicks are making a deal...

Can we make a it a rule in here that we dont spoil picks tonight?

Would like to enjoy the draft as it happens & the Coli at the same time

Impossible. This site is going to be fireworks.

From a dude that cost a GM his job.

SI predicting

Tyus & Jahlil to reunite in LA

Not really possible... what assets to the Lakers have to get another pick in the mid-first?

so lakers contemplating Russell cuz Okafor got locked up by a scrub


Gabe Olaseni was flown to Los Angeles for one of his 12 pre-NBA Draft workouts with the Lakers.

He didn't find out that morning just how impactful this one-hour session would be.

Olaseni, the Big Ten Conference's Sixth Man of the Year, found out the Lakers brought him in Friday to go one-on-one against who could be the NBA's first or second man picked: Duke 7-footer Jahlil Okafor.

"I just relished the challenge. I definitely brought my 'A' game," said Olaseni, who averaged 8.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for Iowa last season. "And they were really appreciative of the intensity I showed going against him."

Word has it that Olaseni held his own and then some Friday.

That's a retarded reason not to take Okafor, he's going to need time to adjust to bigger defenders.


Thomas Robinson was drafted over Drummond, simply because he outplayed him in a 1 on 1 setting when the Kings worked them out Don't be that team.....
