Wow ... @WindhorstESPN just said that if Okafor slips to 3, the Celtics are ready to send a monster package to Philly to get him.

He must be giving up a couple of Nets picks, Their picks and probably Marcus Smart

I would think Smart, 16, 28, 33, and next year's Brooklyn pick would be enough to get it done.

 

[LyleLanley]

I wonder if the Sixers would even want smart over another draft pick.

 

[Mik317]

You tank all season to trade back for Marcus Smart and mid to late round picks and a pick that probably also will be late lottery.

That is fucking dumb.

 

[Fjordson]

Seeing writers on Twitter talk about LA picking Russell. Interesting.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

what the hell could you send the sixers when they're content with sending the washington generals out there every night so they could keep a stranglehold on all the decent draft picks of the next century?

just seems like a tough team to negotiate with given they have a ton of leverage insofar as picks go.

I would be gutted.

I really hope this is a smokescreen.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

I want Okafor! I want Okafor!!!

I think Russel has the biggest upside in this year's draft. Might as well the Lakers gamble for BPA and just buff their big men lineup from trades or free agency.

 

[friskykillface]

Ainge is ready

 

[soundahfekz]

Just need the knicks or kings to pick up Kaminsky

Spoiler

lulz

Come on home Phil

Or they trade russel as part of a package for boogie

 

[Dion Blaster]

Do the picks start at 4:00/7:00 or is there a pregame show and it actually starts at 5:00/8:00?

 

[shira]

Don't do this to me.

Has a leaked blockbuster ever happened?

 

[The Last Wizard]

Please let's just end this night on a good note, that's all I need.

 

[Bowser]

LaMarcus Aldridge is not expected to re-sign with the Portland Trail Blazers, several people close to the All-Star forward told ESPN's Chris Broussard.

And Wednesday's trade of forward Nicolas Batum was an indication, league sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein, of Portland's growing belief that Aldridge is poised to leave in free agency.

"He's gone," a source close to Aldridge said. "There's a 99.9 percent chance that he's out of Portland."

Let Milsap go and pay Aldridge pls.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Aldridge to Cleveland. Love to Charlotte. Bismack to Bismarck.

 

[overcast]

Come to Houston for vet wages

 

[random25]

I guess I'll join the market and pitch in LMA for Pacers! West already opted out so here's the chance!

I see him on a Spurs uniform this year though.

 

[Edwardo]

I really hope the Celts don't give up Smart.

 

[LyleLanley]

I really hope the Celts don't give up Smart.

I like him but for a potential franchise center I'll drive him to Philly myself.

 

[Forceatowulf]

If we take Russell there's is no doubt in my mind that either an FA big has given the Lakers the *wink-wink* already Or that Boogie deal is definitely going down.

Hopedully Deandre or Aldridge if the first scenario plays out. But I can live with a Randle/Love front court until Durant gets here. After watching 2014/15 Lakers ball I can endure anything.

How do you plan on getting Boogie if the Lakers are drafting Russell for themselves?

 

[sytadel]

They won't be satisfied and keep Boogie

 

[otapnam]

fyi http://hoopshype.com/rumors/ is a pretty good place to follow news if you arnt crazy on the twitter game

 

[Liquidsnake]

I would not be upset with Okafor or Russell, so I hope it will be a good night.

Last best PG they drafted. I don't care what Ninja says.

True. Philly loves them some draft picks tho haha.

I am curious about this too. Does anyone know?

Idk if it's true or not, but I just found

Commissioner Adam Silver will take to the podium for the 2015 NBA Draft at 4 p.m. PDT from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

I believe the picks start at 8pm ET, but not 100% sure

 

[TheOohChild]

I saw a rumor the other day for this, except without #33 and Brooklyn's pick and there was a Olynyk/Nerlens swap.

I lmao'd

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Has a leaked blockbuster ever happened?

Has a draft blockbuster ever happened period? (with established players, not Kobe to the Lakers stuff)

 

[Plinko]

They would if they were smart.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Blasphemy.


Broussard's sources now say Kaminsky (and trey Lyles) are in the mix for NY's pick. Anytime you can take a college senior whose ceiling is "that one good season Channing Frye had" with the 4th overall pick, you gotta do it.

Well I'm feeling good now, multiple sources lol

 

[UnObtainium17]

Great OT.. I wish I know some about this coming draft class.. Im pretty much clueless about the prospected #3 and below draftees.

Whats up witht he title though... Lakers will still be tanking next season

..

but the summer of 2016 might be something for them

 

[Kickz]

Everyone just sit back and relax and watch the relaunching of OKC 2.0 tonight.

Hmm conflicting information here. I feel like it's been 8 EST in past years but I'm honestly not sure, just going off memory. Need to figure it out since I'm going out for the draft.

 

[Dion Blaster]

Nick Van Exel still has the coolest name

Oklahoma City has traded Jeremy Lamb to Charlotte for Luke Ridnour and a 2016 second-round pick, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

That Harden trade looks worse with each passing day.

Nurkic and the 7 isn't actually a bad trade in my opinion.
