Official 2017 NBA Draft Lottery Thread

No, you cannot do that. The ext can only be signed with Indy. Now he can sign that extension and then in the middle of the year which under contract be traded but you can't do a SnT for with that ext as it only can't be signed with Indy for Indy.

Boston can ONLY sign PG to a three year ext for 8% raise no matter what. Now in the off-season, he can do 5 years for 10% raise each year due to his Bird rights.

How are you not getting what I'm saying? No where have I mentioned a S&T, I've said the Pacers would sign him then trade him, I never specified when. I know the only team that can give him the supermax is Indy, which is why I've said it several times, I know exactly how the rules work, and you keep saying the same thing again and again when I have made my point clear.

Ok, and what if he just stays in Utah?


Also, you keep missing what I said, we find out who makes all-nba tomorrow, if Paul George is on any of those teams he's up for the super max which means he would sign the extension with the Pacers. Therefore, you'd be able to trade Fultz for him with knowledge that he's already locked up.

Trade the number one pick to pay paul George over 200 million? Besides there's no way a team would be allowed to sign the supermax and trade him immediately... I guarantee you gotta wait at least 9 days if not a full season

No thanks.

Keep the pick

No thanks.

Keep the pick

But, you're going to pay Gordon Hayward $33 million a year?


And I can't forget how you also said Ainge will give Thomas the max as well to come off the bench.

Thomas in the long run would probably end up coming off the bench towards the end of his contract

I'd rather pay Gordon and have fultz too over having just George you wouldn't?

I honestly don't see the fascination with Hayward, he's a good player but I'm not giving him $33 million a year

The thing is I don't know what yall are doing over there, it's a weird youth movement mixed with vets, but you can't pay all those young guys and the vets want to win now. You have Fultz now, so I see no point in giving Thomas 33% of your cap, but that's just me.

Lakers winning the #2 pick three years in a row.

I mean, really......What's the odds of that happening?


Why don't they just stop fukking around and give them the #1 overall pick



Philly in the top 3 four years in a row? The NBA is too obvious with this shyt.


Meanwhile, the Suns just happen to move down in every draft....come on, now!

I wish there was a way the league would do something with that

 

[Kang Deezy]

Btw @Malta if we miss out on Hayward or Blake to a lesser extent or whatever then you use that money to extend Isaiah and one of Bradley/smart

I'd probably flip the 2018 Brooklyn pick one or two of Bradley/smart/rozier/crowder and try to get a big that can play next to horford

We are going over the cap starting next offseason money isn't gonna be an issue

You actually want Blake?

The bigs that can play with Horford are in next years draft, unless Ainge can flip your assets for Anthony Davis you're better off keeping that pick because Bamba has a really high ceiling.

Blake? Nah not really

This is the last time this team sees cap space for a looooong time tho

They gotta make it count

 

[Ashyneezz]

Sixers should trade #3 to the Kings for #5 & #10

Sixers wouldn't have to reach for Monk at 3 and could get someone else at 10.
Kings just need a face for the franchise. Go get Jackson or Tatum and try to fix that mess out there

I wouldn't trade next years pick, I'm extremely high on Bamba -

Then it's on zizic... wouldn't shock me if he's starting by January

Lakers winning the #2 pick three years in a row.

I mean, really......What's the odds of that happening?

They've had one of the 3 worst records each of those years, so statistically, the odds are pretty good.

How I think the draft on the top 10 will play out:

1. Kings - Fultz (Kings trade: 5 and 10 and get #1) | (Celtics trade #1 and Jae Crowder and gets Paul George and #10) | (Pacers trade Paul George and get #5 and Jae Crowder) PG13 doesn't sign an ext but Boston keeps a lotto pick.
2. Lakers - Ball
3. Sixers - Monk (While I think Philly could look into trading this pick, especially for Russell, I think LA won't pull the trigger and Philly will get the best fit.) This pick could be Jackson to LAL.
4. Suns - Jackson
5. Pacers - Tatum
6. Magic - Issac
7. Wolves - Fox (Not that I think Fox will be drafted by Minny, this is the perfect trade spot for a team needing a top tier PG prospect.) Minny will shop this pick. Denver is the team I can see moving to this spot with their array of assets. I would not be surprised if Dallas jumped NY to take Ntilikina at this spot. ) Expect Minny to reach out to Chicago but it's unlikely Chicago will trade Butler. Most interested teams: Brooklyn, Knicks, Mavs, Suns, Pacers, Pistons, Nuggets and Magic. Need: Quality young vet at either SG or C. Think Avery Bradley level.
8. Knicks - Ntilikina (Fox would be ideal at 8. He would be the player most coveted for NY. But Ntilikina is a legit possibility for NY and is probably their guy at this spot. )
9. Mavs- Lauri M. (While Ntilikina is their guy, there will be a run on PG's especially if Issac and Monk go early. The Mavs could consider D. Mitchell as well as he does have very good two way potential with excellent work ethic.)
10. Celtics - Zack Collins (Good chance that Oylynk could be gone for a big pay increase and this will make center a position of need for them. Boston will consider Jarrett Allen and Ike Anigbogu to get looks especially if Collins is off the board.)

You're spot on....I could see Dallas trading Wes Matthews and 9 to Minny For the 7th pick. They really like Frank and might be scared the Knicks will pick him
