And thus the Second Luke Ridnour Era (SLRE) in Charlotte comes to an end.
And how sweet those 5 hours were.

Knicks Lost is eternal.

I really hope we get him and the rumors turn out to be false. I don't want to be stuck with Okafur and Sam Hinkie trade down shenanigans.
Heck yea... has been over 20 years.. of watching us get screwed (and screwing ourselves) in the draft. We better take Towns... kid seems so solid all around and a hard worker. Love the attitude of both him and Wiggins.. lets do this!!
I am thinking we finally get off the snide like Clippers and Warriors have in recent years
Depends who George Karl wants
Mudiay is a crap shooting tall athletic PG which they clearly don't want
No way Hinkie takes him. Russell is by far the best option to take there if he's there, if the Lakers take Russell, then they'll prolly take Porzingis, Hezonja, or possibly Justice Winslow
I want whoever LaMarcus Aldridge wans!

Work your magic, Mitch. Work it.
No name scrubs have dropped 75 in the China league. What has he done?
Let me in on the secret breh
He has enormous upside but can't be judged for two or three seasons. Sounds like the prototypical Sixers picks.

Aside from accumulating assets and maintaining flexibility, what exactly is that? I think we're going to see the Sixers fan base really go off the deep end if he picks Porzingis or Mudiay tonight or trades down, even if those turn out to be smart moves.
And if he doesn't want picks for next year's 'weak' draft class, he's doing a terrible job because he already might have 4 first rounders next year, depending on where teams finish.
They have a clear vision being good in 5 years if every single one of their picks becomes good at the same time.

Trying to make the Sixers the first team in NBA history to play in front of a completely empty arena?
Five years from when? Seems like it's perpetually five years from now.
Saw this a couple of days ago and I've always thought Russell would work better in LA. It's a guard league and when a guy can score, has great vision, and a chip on his shoulder, you get him. It would be WAY too early to say, but if his passing is as good as we've seen, he could be (at some point) a Magic 2.0 if he lives up to his potential.

Trading down to 9 or 10 and taking Kaminsky is better than staying at 4 and taking Kaminsky.
I doubt he grows to 6'9 230 pounds but he can pass..

Instead of trying to move David Lee's contract, Golden State is attempting to move up in the first round, I'm told. Unsure of GSW's target.

This. Best thing about drafting him is his name rhymes with tank. Nothing else good will come of it.
I could with either Russell or Okafor.
Uh oh. Wonder what we're going to lose.

Steph Curry to the Kings
Barnes. Brace for it.

I would n't be mad at either, so lets do it.

And of course the top 2 players that are most likely to be busts are on top of the Kings board.
Just a mess indeed.
Feel like you'd have to include Barnes in any such trade, no?
So people confused by Hinkie let's look at the first rounders he's picked
Nerlens Noel
Joel Embiid
Michael Carter Williams
Dario Saric
All of these players were the best player available in their respective times, hinkie doesn't care of they are sitting out a year of not, he'll take the best play available regardless of concern over injuries. MCW has been traded because he can't shoot, he's basically Mudiay with less athleticism, and Hinkie wants his team to shoot 3s
In his 2nd rounders he'll take super athletic and tall players who can't shoot well. This is the hopes they can develop into some type of trade asset for better talent. He's gotten guys like Grant who have developed into decent role players and are worth value
Dude priortizes value over everything, and generally has drafted the most talented or best player available. He is willing to trade down to pick players he wants that we know are going to be there, IE Saric
So hell probably take Russell if he's available, and he's apparently super high on Porzingis. Dude doesn't want to lose on purpose, he just knows how important it is to gather resources. And Philly is pretty much on board with Hinkie cause were were sick of being the 6-8 seed in the east every year. We've been mediocre for 10 years straihht
