    2016 NBA Draft

    tonight is the NBA Draft

    Philly has supposed told Ben Simmons they are taking him #1.

    the Lakers are supposedly taking Brandon Ingram #2 unless there is a blockbuster trade.
    (I'm still hoping they can trade the pick and possibly Randle to the Kings for Boogie, but that's probably not enough... and Clarkson is a RFA so he can't be dealt yet, and I don't want to give up Russell)

    The Celtics are #3, but they have been actively shopping the pick.

    After the top 2 picks, there is no real clear cut opinion: Kris Dunn, Dragan Bender, Jaylen Brown, Jamal Murray, and Buddy Heild make up the next tier...maybe include Marquese Criss in there.

    THEN, it gets really interesting. Franchises can be literally made by draft smart at the end of the 1st, and with 2nd round picks.

    The NBA draft is great for 2 reasons.
    1. The number of trades, and people moving up and down, lots of current players get moved for picks.
    2. It's short. It's only 2 rounds, and it's over in one night.

    Kris Dunn has significant traction in Boston as No. 3 pick, sources tell @TheVertical. No final decision -- and trades remain on table.

      Sacramento has been heavily engaged in trade talks all week and sources say one player they've tried to land is the Lakers' D'Angelo Russell

              You are not lying. Terrible pick, he would have been available late first / early second.

                Well, it's all they need. NBA players normally play longer than football players, and the rosters are MUCH smaller. So, honestly... many 2nd round guys don't even make the teams that drafted them.

                    I, for one, was delighted by Danny Ainge's inability to trade one of Boston's 8 (yes, 8!) picks to get a star player.

                    The media has been slobbering over him for a year or more for collecting all these "assets".

                    However, the problem with this, is to trade you have to find a willing partner.

                    And since he doesn't have an ex-teammate willing to trade him a future hall of famer for basically nothing, no one fell for his demands.

                    Jaylen Brown is a nice player, but not what the Green faithful wanted. I mean, it's supply and demand. If you are sitting on 8 picks in this draft, and have the Nets 1st rounder for the next couple years... people aren't just going to give you an All Star for a couple picks and a role player. I hope they remain stuck in mediocrity for the forseeable future.

                      Because they're the Celtics.

                        F the Celtics, not because they are the Celtics, but because they are Boston.

                        I've got nothing against the ancient Irish. It's the dirty Bostonian sports fans I don't like.

                        And what the fuck is up with the name of that team anyway?

                        Celtic is an adjective and cannot be a plural word. I think they meant to call themselves the Celts.

                        Calling themselves the Boston Celtics would be like if we called ourselves the San Diego Chargeds. Stinky could get away with that, but the rest of us would be considered stupid as fuck if we said it. Why do Boston sports fans and announcers never get called out for being dumb shits?
