Lol lame

You have dreadful taste

[luckyman]

Whew!!! Ty Griff. No headache meds tonight.

Bless you all!

[Pelifan]

I can live with Kira. Not convinced this pick is staying though.

Prolly who id take gun to the head anyway.

[13 - 3]

Good

[AusPel]

I wanted Maxey doe

[JJackisangry]

Don’t listen to that doofus on ESPN please

[Pelicanidae]

Kira's here.

Fastest guard in the draft. Not a great finisher but a really promising shooter, solid passing, and strong defensive instincts who plays with a ton of effort. Needs strength and physical development, but he's very young for the draft.

I would probably have taken Maxey if it was my pick, but I am absolutely happy with Kira.

Nah we just have different acquired tastes.

Oh it's staying. Perfect fit.

Now Lonzo? ...

[Biasvasospasm]

Fastest and quickest player in the draft. Good shooter. Lots of skill. Cares on defense.

[Pelicanidae]

Whew!!! Ty Griff. No headache meds tonight.

Bless you all!

Now give me Tillman or Bane at 24.

Well. Somebody is getting traded

[Taker597]

Now give me Tillman or Bane at 24.

Nah, let's start moving dudes and get some picks in the teens. Get Poku and a shooter that moves like he isn't using a walker.

[luckyman]

I think I'm the only one that's been on the Kira train for months.

I like chocolate chip.

[13 - 3]

We got what we wanted all along it looks like

OOF

Ainge whiffs it!

[JJackisangry]

Poku would be the dream, but I think somebody will take the chance on him before he can reach our gluttonous fingers

[DaPelFromHell]

I think RJ Hampton is going to end up being a steal with whatever team drafts him. If he played in the states he would of been seen as a top 5 prospect IMO. When will these young kids figure out that not going to college for a year is a bad move? There is absolutely no advantage to go play one year professionally overseas. It could only hurt your draft status IMO. You are 17-18 years old going to play professional basketball in a foreign country against grown men. I don’t care what they are willing to pay you, it’s not a good move for your long term future IMO.

So we take the fastest player in the draft in Kira Lewis Jr. Nice move signaling that Lonzo is not in the long term plans IMO.

We got some serious depth at point guard now. Lonzo Ball, Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, Kira Lewis, Frank Jackson, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could all play there if they are brought back to play there.

Max Carlin on the Prep2Pro pod is a Celtics fan and he's dying on air right now lol

Frank Jackson is a free agent.

But yeah, I expect a trade coming.

His speed is what I heard about him the most.
