NBA 2015 Draft Result

22) Chicago Bulls: Bobby Portis

The Denver Nuggets were rumored to have put Ty Lawson on the trading block and after they selected Emmanuel Mudiay with the No. 7 pick, it looked his time in Denver was coming to an end. Apparently even Lawson believes this, as he was caught on camera saying, “‘I’m going to Sacramento.”

[Andrew]

Bobby Portis: listed as a power forward in one ESPN overlay, a small forward in another ESPN overlay, and a guard up on the big screen behind Adam Silver.

Doesn't sound too bad. Gibson's out for four months and there always seem to be talk that he's moving on. Mirotic also spent time at small forward last season, so picking up another four isn't the worst way they could've gone. Probably means another stopgap at backup point guard, and heavy minutes for Jimmy Butler.

What the fuck is going on? LA has no front line & Philly has an abundance. What the fuck is going on?

I actually like the pick. More potential and probably better right now than okafor who had a tendency to disappear or defer.

I'm glad they didn't feel compelled to pick okafor. Plus it gives them more of a chance to resign Davis

23) Portland Trail Blazers: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson

Jahlil Okafor: ‘Joel Embiid texted me last night and said see you in Philly.’ #Sixers

Okafor should stay away from Embiid

Thunder will look to trade him since they now have a very crowded back court. Poor guy still doesn't know where he'll live.

[GritterAndGrinder]

yeah. im pissed. fuck matt barnes, fuck our GM, chris wallace, and fuck dallas for drafting Justin Anderson.
I will go from being very angry to very happy if we can trade barnes and our second rounder for Anderson.

[GritterAndGrinder]

how the hell are we supposed to shoot threes if we trade for matt barnes and worry about drafting a replacement for Gasol's backup (Koufus) instead of RJ Hunter?

[Moz]

26) San Antonio Spurs: Nikola Milutinov

who the hell is this guy?

Same fellas are asking this back then when they picked Ginobili so beware...

Fucking cocktease... Where are all the headline worthy trades?!

[Kevin]

Official Trade:

Cavaliers trade Tyus Jones | Timberwolves trade Cedi Osman, Rakeem Christmas and future 2nd round pick

[Kenny]

I can see the headline now: Christmas Arrives Early in Cleveland.

[big-shot-ROB]

Mario Hezonja has a huge potential, but as many of you have said, it's an asshole. People have been sucking his nuts since he was 15, and this has got into his head. He was probably the best player on FCBarcelona, but nobody wanted to see him play. Coach hated him. I would advise to the Orlando magic that don't try to run any sets, he just ignores them.

[Andrew]

It's a shame that Kevin Looney didn't end up going to the Jazz. We could've had seen many Looney Tunes puns...as it stands, there'll probably be a couple anyway.

[Kevin]

Official Trade:
Grizzlies get Andrew Harrison | Suns get Jon Leuer
Nets get Juan Vualet | Hornets get 2 future 2nd round picks
Nets get Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Steve Blake | Trailblazers get Mason Plumlee and Pat Connaughton
