nba off season 2024 bud 2 suns etc

spurs redditors are livid, but this is a good trade

like theres a really good chance minny will be tore up by 2030-31 (kat will be 34 in 2030, gobert 38) and ant could be like fuck this, im going to [glamor market]

can't miss a chance to put serious young talent around a prime-aged wemby, i write, weeping

cant tell if topic going to okc means we're all screwed or if okc just pissed away another pick on a euro project

bulls taking a home town kid is hilarious, they love chicago!

topic to okc thing very "interesting" idk hard get a sense of what okc is really up to short term mid term long term or do they just stash him on the bench for a year or two

portland fo must be killing themselves with knecht still around and having traded the next pick an hour ago

cant have that many wites, what are they utah?

it's fun that there's a guy named bub

always fun to find out who the fourth best guy in the draft is when miami's pick is in

surprised dalton knecht is still on the board, guess no one wants a 23-year-old gunner

congrats to the heat for drafting the first guy i've literally never heard of

i thought i had heard of everyone in the world.... until now

here's bronny

wow they did it they drafted bronny

fuckin cavs took jaylen tatum thats the celtics guy

i had to step away have the celtics turned their first into five seconds yet

28 nba teams, after the 2024 nba finals: we need big guards who can do it all
cavs: we need a guy named jay

they cracked the code

dunno if I like the Bucks' decision to draft a dude who isn't gonna be NBA ready for a couple years but I do like AJ Johnson

stockpiling guys named aj

Timberwolves got Rob Dillingham, who, as you know, was #1 on my big board and a player I have been talking about here on ILH for several months

the knicks absolutely hate drafting in the first round

“any nova guys left? no?”

history will judge this night as the moment chains over button downs peaked

the knicks had picks 24 and 25, now they have 25 and 26

"mr president, a fourth frenchman has hit the nba draft"

lmao

he will be so good coming off the bench as a scorer

hes a baller but hes small

chains over button downs

i can't stand it frankly

makes more sense over a light or pastel shirt but over all these black shirts, enjoy your careers i wish you well but i must insist this stop

wow that dillon jones is a solidly built guy

its good that these teenage millionaires wear silly clothes its part of the process

there’s some good candid moments caught by the cameras it’s a good era we live in

ah baylor scheieramn yes i believe he went to baylor

big white lefty shooter, sounds great

splitting the draft into two days was a mistake you want the second round to happen late at night when youre confused from hearing too many names

Wait did the Heat draft Superman?

And what was Shaq's reaction?

they should do the second rd on day one and the first rd on day two whoa mind blown

really enjoyed RJ identifying Serbia, Lithuania, and Croatia as "a region that produces a lot of NBA talent"

to be fair, baltic and balkan _do_ sound similar, and they _can_ be collapsed into "eastern europe"

my main takeaway from last night is that if tim connelly is trading a 2031 unprotected first for rob dillingham, he really is not planning on being around when the bill on all these trades comes due

my favorite pick was topic to OKC, it’s the exact skill set (driving the ball) that they need. guess it will be a while til we actually see that come to fruition but nonetheless

memphis taking edey is the most interesting development to me, that just feels like a big overhaul of that team again a year after already doing it. i don’t think edey can jump? i don’t see how his skill set matches with ja’s

as a result we have to induct jarren jackson jr into the Hall of Karl Anthony Towns … a 5 who can’t play 5 so now we gotta go find someone to play your position for you

the ryan dunn pick by phoenix is also somewhat interesting to me -- they need the ability to play small w/o putting KD at the 5 and he can give them that while also being able to guard probably up to the 1. for what they probably need to do (find a killer small line up) he may really work, he seems like the best switch defender in the draft. it will all obviously fall apart if he is a sub 30% shooter but he will at least be shooting tons of wide open ones, you have to figure. the upside of herb jones but even better is there -- if he went to a bad team in the top of the second round i would've been pessimistic, but he'll have the one crucial thing (tons of floor spacing) that players like this don't get on shitty teams.

i could be wrong but it seems like sam hauser will eventually be a cap casualty in boston & scheierman from what i've read seems like a pretty close approximation to that skillset but w/ possibly more upside bcuz of the ball handling/scoring capability. just feels like a really good developmental pick for them given his skillset and their roster

i'm pretty shocked filipowski fell out of the first round. i saw hollinger mention a medical issue w/ his hip, he also has a negative wingspan. that said i thought he looked like a really solid offensive bench big in the olynyk role at duke. feel like every team needs that player these days if even just for certain match ups
