The Official 2017 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Does it really do anything for Lonzo though? What he does best isn't going to show up in a one on one game. Taking too much from that could be dangerous.

Which is why if I'm Fox I force the issue. Ball could stress that and be right but to Magic it could look like Lonzo's being a p*ssy. Lonzo's gonna work out solo for LA anyway so they'll just get to judge Lonzo more

Givony was mentioning he doubts Lavar and Lonzo would go for it. But I definitely agree with you that Fox's camp should push for it.

There's nothing to this and it's mostly just to keep some semblance of suspense.

There's one way Fox could get Magic to change his mind:

Fox challenges Ball to a 1 on 1 workout and Ball declines

How does this work exactly if there's no truth to it

Is he being paid off by agents or the league or something? Does it drum up interest in future draft pieces? not being facetious either, legit curious what's in it for these draft insiders to spew BS

Probably trying to make his client's stock go even higher so he doesn't get drafted by that career ending franchise sacramento kings. trying to draw interest from the kings or suns

just guessing

It was coming out a week ago that teams preferred fox over ball

Anyone scouting guys in the 2nd round? Who'd be good for the Wiz's crappy bench?

was that bodganovic trade worth it breh?

 

[#1 pick]

Seriously, the numbers guys think Ball is going to Philly.

but everyone here told me trading a 1st round pick for the rights to overpay Bogdanović and lose in the 2nd round made perfect sense lmao

I was praying on trade deadline day for no trades. I HATED the trade. Bojan came in hot but cooled off after a couple weeks and he is what we've always known, a net negative player because he can't play defense.

They got that kid Chris McCullough in the trade but he isn't anything special...

Another Grunfeldian move of wasting our 1st round pick for a rental.

but you told me the Ibaka trade was worth it

Agents tend to wanna dictate the process so reports get drummed up to spur interest, especially if they can get the attention of a team who otherwise wouldn't consider them

 

[CantStop]

It was. They had two first rounders. It didn't pay off in hindsight but it was worth it to see if it could work.

 

[AAKing23]

Nah. Josh Jackson has good work ethic


@AAKing23 when is philly picking

It seems that Josh Jackson has the consensus of the Philly brehs


Sorry for the late response

At that spot you're looking at someone like Nigel Williams-Goss or maybe Justin Tuoyo. Someone else is bound to fall though, you can never tell.
