The Official 2015 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[42 Monks]

This is my current mock. Keep in mind that I do it in a contest with some friends...3 points for exact spot, 2 for 2 spots off and 1 for 3 spots off..this makes it a bit different than me necessarily thinking that player will actually be picked in that spot or by that given team (trade rumors taken into account)..I kept finding myself dropping Tyus Jones..Im likely to be way off on that. Also took into account rumored promises.

Although I like Turner in Charlotte, I just don't see us passing on Stanley for him. #5 is a bit sus too but over all that's a decent mock.

the fukk is Ford on?

MKG, Marvin and Stanley tho

I was thinking they take Turner to groom for when Big Al leaves and they could use a big anyway. Not buying the Booker rumors and also not even sure theyll be drafting at 9 in the first place

MKG and Stanley can work. Especially when MKG starts to get more minutes at 4. I also think that Turner is gonna be a beast. Noah and Turner's potential is just . There was a time I was buying the Booker rumors but I think our FO is trying to sell it too hard now Highly doubt we draft at 9 unless there's a big shakeup before then (Knicks, Sac, Denver mainly) but if there isn't I believe we'll move back towards the end of the 1st round.

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

So for the Knicks,if Russell doesn't drop, it looks like it's either WCS or Porzingis

Or the pick get's straight up traded
I'm braced for fukkery

 

[Adebisi_Said]

and think at what we could do with 9/28/33 (plus BKs picks, our picks, DAL protected 1st, MIN protected 1st, MEM protected 1st and all our 2nd rounders)..we could end up with a massive haul and still have mega cap space. thats a no brainer to me

if anything charlotte may have to flip some salary elsewhere to make it work..maybe they toss barnes somewhere to get waived and/or brian roberts idk.

Don't they also have Cleveland's pick next year (zeller trade)?

 

[TenChambers]

Honestly would like to see Chad Ford become a GM just for the fukkery. Might be David Kahn levels of that pure uncut ineptness.

If Toronto ends up being the team that promised Jarell Martin

 

[smARTmouf]

If he's wrong...Fords job should be on the line with that hyperbole on Porzingis.

 

[NatiboyB]

If Toronto ends up being the team that promised Jarell Martin

Lol that's still better than Bruno caboclo

 

[trick]

Lol that's still better than Bruno caboclo

Still

With Casey still here, if Jarell was on the team he'd definitely play the 5 instead of the 3 even though he has the wingspan and standing reach of a 3

Bruno and Bebe will never develop with Casey here

If Lou's retained, we'll see a never ending cycle of chucking between him, Lowry and DeRozan

This is already a nightmare off-season for Raptors fans

I just knew Casey lost his job but instead of cleaning house they cleaned out the assistance and honestly I don't even know if they will make any moves to improve the roster...For some reason the got Ujri is looking like he's going to bring back most of the same cast rather than making a move to rebuild or improve the team....Hopefully it's a smokescreen and he has something up his sleeves.

Breh, it looks bad for them right now. They can't even find assistants that are willing to join the staff right now...they offered Monty Williams, Darren Irman (former Warriors assistant, decided to go to the Celtics) and the Spanish National team coach Sergio Scarcolo the associate head coach position and they all rejected the Raptors.

Masai needs to make some moves for sure. This is the DeRozan's last year of his contract and I don't feel comfortable with them paying him $15-20 mil with the cap going up. Ross has been a complete bust. JV has lost all of his athleticism. Bruno hasn't learned anything this year besides how to get at women on Instagram. Casey is easily the worst coach in the NBA right now. Something has to be done.

I'm hearing that Porzingis could now go #1.
