2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

that was a good decision by you

i like schmitz and bilas just fine, perk may be the single worst broadcaster on TV

yeah schmitz is a nice addition

The Washington Wizards have agreed to trade Russell Westbrook, 2024 second-round pick, 2028 second-round pick to the Los Angeles Lakers for Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell and No. 22 tonight, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

this is so beautiful bless the basketball gods

smh

jesus i can't believe that's real

evan mobley is too cool of a player to go to the cavs

like wtf is going on in LA

bron is going to issue a russ or me edict by thanksgiving

Cleveland has imagined USC 7-footer Evan Mobley playing on a frontline with Jarrett Allen; some four-man, some five. Cavaliers believe he's a franchise player. Teams tried to trade up to three, but Cavaliers are keeping it.

we need to electroshock every nba exec each time they get a boner about playing two bigs

masai just couldn’t help himself. what a turn of events for the magic

kinda weird abc is doing the draft too with other espn people.

amazing news for the magic

who's on the abc telecast anyway?

i think ABC telecast is like… the human interest story broadcast

Sources: Indiana is sending No. 54, No. 60 and two future seconds to Milwaukee for No. 31.

milwaukee looking to shed some $$$

Masai has been right so many times and deserves this rope but it feels like they passed on Brandon Roy for Al-Farouq Aminu

if ANYone can develop his jumper its raps, they are definitely betting on their development record here

man the magic needed a player who is guaranteed to be good so bad

I feel like this is just an amazing night for the magic. Lotto luck and then this

i didn’t realize that shiny silver suits is a thing that is happening but i guess it is

who's on the abc telecast anyway?

my thoughts exactly. dont know if fultz or cole are long-term pieces, but it feels like they can have one of them (probably cole) off the bench. wondering if they draft sengun at 8 to round out their roster. or maybe they go wing with moody.

the magic drafting a guy with a high floor is a really big deal. i'm glad the board forced them to do it.

giddey to okc whoa

WHOA

feels like it’s a perfect match for both teams

Giddey still such an inexplicable thing to me but so many smart people love it

giddey and poku is just too much

the thunder had every incentive to take a huge upside swing

i'm not sure how he doesn't get eaten alive by nba athletes for, um, several years

and i'm not sure what his huge upside is either

giddey is the most australian looking dude i have ever seen

i just don’t quite see how he’s supposed to handle NBA athleticism but for OKC i think it’s really interesting

apparently the nets traded shamet to the suns for #29 and javon carter

the argt is hes a passing wiz and might be able to shoot, hes got length to make up for his lack of athelticism (see: kyle anderson, good nba defender)

xp re: giddey

yeah that's not a dude you take #6

yeah i think the upside with giddy is that he’s like 80% of lonzo ball

okc has selected shawn mendes

I like that this draft is wild. We haven’t had a wild one in forever

giddey is much more lamelo than lonzo

I’ve just never understood giddey but by all accounts there were multiple GMs that considered him top 6 or 7. I think they’re chasing lamelo but we’ll see.

yeah sorry i meant lamelo

would pay considerable $$$ to look in on the steph/klay/draymond group text right now

warriors are gonna immediately try and trade kuminga right?

lamelo is great but people should stop and think about what 80% of lamelo actually is

Other teams keep picking the players you’d assume the Magic would end up with
