The Official 2017 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[jwinfield]

I think people being unnecessary squeamish about him and Dennis Smith because of injury history. I'm looking forward to see where this two get drafted

Eh, Giles, since 2013, has torn the ACL, MCL, meniscus in one knee, the ACL in another knee, and had another surgery on a knee last year. I think teams are right to have the about him.

 

[Flight]

Phil isn't going to move him. He's just bluffing.

 

[Frump]

The bigger worry is that those injuries robbed him of his athleticism which was his strength and that he's a shell of what he once was

The Kings better not take Harry Giles with the 10th pick. If they want him, just trade back. There will be plenty of interest for the pick. I honestly feel the Kings need to draft PG/SF tonight. We already have Willie Cauley-Stein, Skal, Papa G, and Koufos.

Vivek is telling Phil Jackson and dan Gilbert hold my beer

50/50 shot they pick Giles.


Updated the mock only to reflect the "promise" Brooklyn gave Wilson

[Joe Sixpack]

When Lonzo name gets called, LaVar going on stage too

 

[CapitalOne]

I just want Phil fired and Dolan caught in a scandal forcing him to sell the Knicks

that's the best possible solution

 

[str8up]

Please don't trade us fukking LaMarcus Aldridge

 

[NatiboyB]

Please don't trade us fukking LaMarcus Aldridge

I'd be sick as hell if they rather have Aldridge over Love
