2021 NBA Draft Day - 29th July

[new city champ]

Seems a safe pick. Makes more sense if we do not re-sign Hart. (which is contrary to the rumours of late)

Makes more sense. I think Hart and Naji back up at Sf/Sg and TM3 plays at back up PF….

[Pelicanidae]

Sharife, Springer, Bones, Jared Butler, all still on the board - among others.

Really good value available to people here in the 20s.

[13 - 3]

As the long list of wings vying for position in the middle of the first round hear their names called, here's a look at the on-ball/off-ball splits of each: pic.twitter.com/7pUThIrQv6

We still have 35 and 43.

Combine them to trade up to like, 28th and take Springer if he's there

Would love this. Grab his teammate Keon too. Trade future conditional pick to rockets for both their upcoming picks. Top 10 or maybe a bucks pick.

Basically a fit/need pick (assuming they keep him).

Hopefully works out.

The Knicks are trading the 19th pick to Charlotte for a future first-round pick, source tells ESPN.

THis is weird

I know I thought Garuba would be a perfect fit for Thibs

[Pelicanidae]

Feels weird how quiet tonight has been interms of major trades.

We've got Ben Simmons and Lillard both potentially up for trades (definitely for Simmons), we've had speculation about Siakam being moved, about Atlanta wanting to get off one of their guys, about Utah wanting to make big changes going forward, and the result so far has beeeeeeeeen

Nothing. No big player trades. People have shuffled picks and minor players, but no major names moving. There's usually at least one.

Edit: Westbrook trade was reporting way in advance of the draft, I mean there's usually something during the draft itself.

New York is trading No. 21 to Detroit, per source.

Clippers actually. And for Keon Johnson.

I agree. I?ve noticed this prior drafts though. Second round they might announce more trades. Seems that teams like to wait until they see who they get in first and early rounds before trades are made. At the end of the draft it?s a mess because it all happens at once

Knicks do not want a PG

[DaPelFromHell]

I see people saying that it wasn’t good pick for upside or whatever. In 2016 if we would of taken Brogdon, who also went to Virginia, over say Skal Labissi?re or any other high upside guy you would of been saying the same thing

[Pelicanidae]

Sources: Wizards selecting Isaiah Jackson at No. 22.

Must be confident they can sign one in FA.

Schroder gotta go somewhere right?

The problem with that take is that Skal was not a high upside guy. He was a guy who was actually much more in the Wiseman mold: that is, big measurements but is bad at the actual game.

A more accurate comparison would be Brogdon over, say, Pascal Siakam, who was a real project - that is, a guy who clearly had stuff to learn but who had good measurements and dominant statistical profiles and production.

Skal shot 52% from 2 as a 7 footer, shot 65% from the FT line, had a negative offensive BPM, and an assist percentage of 3% lmao

Wizards send No. 22 (Isaiah Jackson) to Indiana for Aaron Holiday, sources said. https://t.co/AL16Q42AFN

Let the trades begin!

[Pelicanidae]

Pacers and Knicks: both in real need of a primary initiator

Pacers and Knicks: both have had 2 picks already in this draft

Pacers and Knicks: Both decide not to draft either Sharife or Springer

Houston is targeting Usman Garuba at No. 23, per source.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 30, 2021

Another big for Houston

[Pelicanidae]

Also high on Houston's board with No. 24 looming: Josh Christopher, per source. https://t.co/6gRsfP3Nzm

Wow. I honestly feel like, if we keep the pick, there could still be real value on the board at 35.

Is this like last year where Xavier Tillman went in the late 30s and then was immediately impactful and good as a rookie? Can we pick up a Tillman type?

[Pelicanidae]

Between Josh Christopher, Jalen Green, and Kevin Porter Jr, the Rockets are just collecting dudes who are nuclear athletes that run on vibes

[Pelicanidae]

The Knicks are on the board at No. 25 and they're targeting Quentin Grimes, per sources.

Springer
Sharife
Bones
JT Thor
Jared Butler
