ClutchFans 2014 NBA Draft Thread (6/26/2014)

Chandler is going to start somewhere else lol.

 

Hopefully this pushes some should be late first round guys into the 2nd round and Morey takes advantage.

 

HA! Perfect.

 

Bit a mixed message. There are some very picks to be had in 20-30 range, but some teams are not impresses and will go the Euro stash route.

@AlexKennedyNBA: The Knicks, Blazers and Nets are among the teams trying to acquire a first-round pick, according to league sources.

 

Should never be quoted.

 

hopefully at 42...i would be pissed if he the pick at 25 when better players are on the board.

 

Why not take Khem Birch with #42, he's instant help on defense, can rebound, amazing shotblocker.

 

NEVER.

This poser tweeted earlier about how a "source" apparently told him that superstars around the NBA are looking to now team up.


..... well no s%$# Sherlock. Where you not around in the Summer of 2010 or did you wait 4 years to send that Tweet out?

 

Why not just move #25 for Shumpert? It seems like that's all it would take, and we need an athletic perimeter defender. He's be a great fit.

 

Wiggins draft suit:

pretty obvious the plan now is to open up as much available cap space as possible for Lebron/Melo as plan 1 A/B. this is probably why you see Ford saying we are going for an international stash with either of our two picks.

I would be shocked if the Rockets flipped this pick as part of a package for anyone not named Kevin Love.

 

True. But as some others have been saying. Taking a guy on that rookie salary is not going to change much. We just need let go of another non-guaranteed guy. Rather have Shump than Casspi/Hamilton. You're right though, number one priority is cap room. I'd bet we try like hell to turn this pick into a future 1st.

 

draft and stash

 

Whats the point in Euro guys?

I see them get drafted, stashed, and never heard from again...

If you dont see someone you like, trade to another year or move up.

 

Red flag guys. The suit is a red flag, his pant length is a red flag, and that guy in the background with the smug look on his face is DEFINITELY a red flag.
