Stuart Scott's joke about the Bulls not being able to select Michael Jordan just bombed with the rest of the ESPN crew.

[shadowgrin]

I like Stuart Scott, can't say the same for the other three.

Updating the OP, will add trades and stuff after first round is over.

[kibaxx7]

Spurs trading George Hill apparently, that blows

[Lamrock]

More like the NBA Daft as far as the Blazers are concerned. I've had enough, SIR.

[shadowgrin]

I'm only interested on who the Spurs will pick in the 2nd round as they could get another one of those 'hidden gem' players like they always do.

[Mavs4Life]

I'm only interested on who the Spurs will pick in the 2nd round as they could get another one of those 'hidden gem' players like they always do.

Yeah,me too. They always get lucky.

[shadowgrin]

Lucky? I prefer to call it good scouting.

[benji]

Alright, think I got all the trades up in the OP.

[shadowgrin]

How nice, Andre Miller comes back to Denver.
Wow at Dallas getting Moody Fernandez, they're basically getting a bigger JJ Barea and also a replacement for Caron Butler or Barea if he goes to another team.

[benji]

Mavs also got Petteri Koponen who they wanted to draft back then had he fallen to the second round.

[benji]

Bobcats just drafted a guy who dropped out of high school.

[The X]

Oh no, it's started. Australia has laid claim for the number 1 pick, Kyrie Irving.

Nolan Smh over Faried and Hamilton? N-h-hooooooooo

I thought of you when I saw that pick. That being said, I think the Knicks' pick was slightly worse. Shumpert over Singleton (& to a lesser extent Faried)

[Mavs4Life]

Lucky? I prefer to call it good scouting.

Yeah,but with such deeep picks,it's a hit or miss thing. He could go in to the leauge & be sucesful like Manu, & Neal for recent examples, or bust.

Hey, at least this time it's someone who was actually born in Australia.

[JaoSming]

So he was spying on Coach K all along! I knew something was up when he never played.

[jonthefon]

Can I clamber aboard the Blazers bandwagon now, Lamrock?

[kibaxx7]

Qatar getting the 2022 World Cup, and now a player in the NBA. Just terrible

EDIT: And Sudan!

Terrible pick by Lakers. I've seen (Aussie) Majok in person & if he's an NBA calibre player then I am too He's clueless, has no body, just pathetic.

[Axel The Great]

Well, Houston got Marcus Morris, a pretty good pick imo, but IDK what to think about their deal. Giving away Brad Miller, No. 23, and a future first round pick doesn't seem like much, depending on how high that pick is. I've read Motiejunas' ceiling is Pau Gasol/Dirk, but that he's at a lower level than those two when they arrived to the NBA.
