I think this draft should be very eventful as this year's draft class isn't star studded. The first two picks are set but things will get unpredictable after that. With several teams without draft picks and a team like Boston holding a handful of picks, don't be surprised if there are plenty of trades.

It'll be interesting to see what the Hornets do with their pick. Will they stay put or will they trade it? They must consider the free agency period that looms when handling moves tonight. Any predictions?

This may be a deep draft but there really isn't a ton of talent. I think this makes for an interesting draft to watch.

First Round Order: 1. Sixers | Ben Simmons, LSU, 2. Lakers | Brandon Ingram, Duke , 3. Celtics | Jaylen Brown, Cal, 4. Suns | Dragan Bender, Croatia , 5. T'Wolves | Kris Dunn, Providence, 6. Pelicans | Buddy Hield, OU 7. Nuggets | Jamal Murray, Kentucky, 8. Suns | Marquese Chriss, Washington, 9. Raptors | Jakob Poeltl, Utah, 10. Bucks | Thon Maker, Australia  11. Thunder | Domantas Sabonis, Gonzaga, 12. Hawks | Taurean Prince, Baylor 13. Kings | Georgios Papagiannis, Greece, 14. Bulls | Denzel Valentine, MSU. 15. Nuggets | Juan Hernangomez, Spain 16. Celtics | Guerschon Yabusele, France 17. Grizzlies | Wade Baldwin IV, Vandy, 18. Pistons | Henry Ellenson, Marquette, 19. Nuggets | Malik Beasley, FSU, 20. Nets | Caris LeVert, Michigan, 21. Hawks | DeAndre Bembry, SJU, 22. Kings | Malachi Richardson, SU 23. Celtics | Ante Zizic, Croatia, 24. Sixers | Timothe Luwawu, France, 25. Clippers | Brice Johnson, UNC, 26. Sixers | Furkan Korkmaz, Turkey, 27. Raptors | Pascal Siakam, NMSU 28. Kings | Skal Labissiere, Kentucky, 29. Spurs | Dejounte Murray, Washington, 30. Warriors | Damian Jones, Vandy

well tonight was a bust.. getting all amped for the draft and .....

 

 

I was amped for the draft tonight because of the possibilities, and likelihood, of all the trades. I wasn't really excited to see who we'd pick at 22, so this trade doesn't  lessen the excitement for me.

I dont feel like looking, but iirc, didnt belinelli sign a 2 yr deal with sac last year?

I ask because it genuinely shows how stupid our FO is anx how skittish they are of drafting anyone now bc theyve been so bad at it.  Why do i say that?  Bc why trade a first round pick for a historically inconsistent outside shooter for one year, when if thats what you really wanted, you could target one in the draft and have him for 4 years or so?

Just stupid...  i already had low expectations going in after the last few drafts, but this was an even worse move than I couldve imagined.  We traded a first rounder for a MLE guy who shafted us in FA last year for a dysfunctional Sacramento team.  I give up...

He's signed for this year and next I believe. I will say it's extremely cap friendly.

So, there was an offer from the Bulls that would send Lavine, Pick 5 (Dunn) for Butler. I would have done that in a heartbeat if I was Minnesota. Especially since they already have Rubio. It's not like they are in dire need of a PG.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Little light hearted topic.. For whatever reason Cam Newton doesn't appear in Madden ultimate team every year for whatever reason like most legends. I personally believe it's due to them robbing him of appearing on the cover of the video game series during his peak years winning NFL rookie of the year and the MVP super bowl run.  Needless to say I'm a huge Competitive Madden ultimate team player spending hours of days crunching numbers and churning roster management. When this was announced it was a lightening rod in the Madden community. Competitive players know Newton is a game changer.. Your talking fastest quarterback in the game and highest throwing power in the game when he drops. That a long with. Unheard of ability at quarterback like freight train the ability to run over linebacker and corners and I was stoked. I m ashamed to say how much money threw at the game to try to pull newton and failed  But it's a big deal seeing as every pro Madden player most certainly has to have him on their roster and the card art is pretty sweet.

      Player-led approach

      By Icege · Posted

      A few different ways this can be taken depending on how you view things: Negative: This coaching staff is so inept that players are having to practically beg them to put them in situations that we as fans have been screaming for. How could David Tepper and Bryce Young do this to us? Positive: The coaches are listening to the players who are trusting the coaches! Neutral: Collaboration can lead to good things, so hopefully this starts the upward trend we've been waiting for.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      By Icege · Posted

      I've been trying to tell y'all since preseason that Brycen Tremayne is the missing piece. 😛 XL, TMac, Coker, and Tremayne all dumpstering DBs when the team runs out of 10 personnel will be hilarious.
