@DeanBlevins
Sources very familiar w/what @TheTraeYoung is being told, tell me the most likely scenario: @ATLHawks take Doncic 3rd, @DallasMavs take TY 5th, teams trade draftees (Mavs sweeten pot) And Trae's a Hawk. Also told, @Cavs will take TY if available @news9 #2018NBADraft #Sooners

Just keep the fingers away from the Bazemore Contract. Its maybe the worst in the NBA just after Matthews, but he is off the Books faster than Baze

Uh... There are worse. If it means Doncic, it's very much worth it. We are NOT winning any championships in the next 2 years.

I like the idea of 4 and 2 bigs. If Jackson/Bamba are the real deal. But if they were to get the four.... do the ATL deal too if you can. Get Bamba and Luca or Jackson and Luka. The chances of any of this happening is remote, but good to dream.

Think the rumor is that they do the ATL Deal and than trade Barnes + 1st for 4th and Parsons Contract.

Seems a bit too much NBA 2K for me. Likely there aint much action in the Top 5.

[texasbball]

All dreams end and reality begins in less than 2 hours. Not sure when they start picking. PLEASE, no MPJ. Don't risk this draft, please!

[GermanStandard]

For what its worth Woj has been forbidden to post the Picks earlier than they happen. But here is his "prediction" without a Trade:

1. Suns: Deandre Ayton.
2. Kings: Marvin Bagley Jr.;
3. Hawks: Luka Doncic;
4. Jaren Jackson, Jr.;
5. Mavericks: Mo Bamba;
6. Magic: Trae Young.

Coop tweeted this:

File and Save. West GM on Bamba if Mavs take him: It will be a train wreck. His character is off the charts, but he's not a maniacal BB is my life kind of guy. Rick will compare him to Tyson Chandler and that's not who he is nor does he want to be.

The quote is from a BR story

Fish 20mins ago...

BREAKING: ‘Slow your roll’ is word from inside #Mavs HQ regarding any advanced nature of trade w #Hawks for #Doncic ... it remains a ‘maybe.’

5min ago....

BREAKING: Sources close to #Doncic situation tell @SeanDeveney & me - Doncic is bound 'for either #Hawks or #Mavs ... It’s CLOSE to happening @1053thefan

It's not happening guys.

[Bryan_Wilson]

I wonder what fish is like during scattered showers weather. BREAKING.. we have rain. BREAKING.. it's not really rain more of a drizzle, stay tuned for an exclusive on how it will be rain soon. BREAKING.. the sun is now shining. Nothing more is expected. 6hrs later BREAKING.. 5 inches of rain later an upcoming premium of how it all played out and how we at shithole.com were all over the story.

OMG lmao... at the EXACT time Fish tweeted it was close...

Shams-

Dallas’ pursuit of Atlanta’s No. 3 overall pick — for potential run at Luka Doncic — has lost momentum in recent hours.

You really can't make this shit up... oh wait you apparently can.

Fish is like Broussard...just browsing Twitter and sell it as his sources

BREAKING: he may be prairie dogging. No confirmation if all the crap is actually inside him. Pay $2.99 a month to get the full story at 247 sports

[FreshJive]

We’ll know when the Mavs draft. If they pick Young, yay!

[EricaLubarsky]

Okay, Im excited just seeing the kids in their suits

Mavs, don't @#$% this up

[EricaLubarsky]

Woj saying that Porter may be 12/13/14

Woj saying Hawks gonna draft Doncic at 3 and keep him. Have declined offers from Mavs

That, or they’re playing hardball to drive up the price.

The Hawks and Mavericks are still talking, according to league sources, but Dallas is unwilling to trade No. 5 and Wes Matthews for No. 3 and Kent Bazemore. Such a move is essentially paying $19.3 million to move up two spots in tonight's draft


Omg! Don’t fuck this up!

If thats the Deal they have to do it or believe that Mo Bamba is the next great thing and not Nerlens Noel without brain farts.

Just dont include 33 or more

I would give up 33 but not any future picks

[tap2390]

While I wonder about Doncic's fit next to DSJ and Barnes, I think essentially paying $20 million for him is a no-brainer.

Its Not "Just" 20m, its screwing our 2019 free Agency, where we would be again one of the few teams with cap...

Oh god that price is high. We're likely in the lottery again next year too

[GermanStandard]

Mavs have no chance for Doncic without a trade to 3 because the Grizzlies take him in a heartbeat at 4 and the Hawks know it.

[Bryan_Wilson]

Oh well. Just take Bamba then. I'm really not in the mood to get bent over in another trade.

[tap2390]

Damn DeAndre Ayton is a genetic anomaly. His parents are built nothing like him.

Mikal Bridges dad trying to steal all his glory lol.

Chandler Hutchinson's mom is fine.

Wtf is Trae Young wearing? He doesn't deserve to get drafted just for wearing capris.

[GermanStandard]

How are Aytons Parents 5 feet tall?????

[FreshJive]

Woj tweeted that jjj has decided that he is ok going to Memphis now.

[FreshJive]

Sources: Jaren Jackson Jr., has grown comfortable with the prospect of Memphis drafting him with fourth pick, and provided Grizz officials the requisite personal information they requested. Coach JB Bickerstaff played a big role in selling a vision for Jackson's future there.

[EricaLubarsky]

Silver likes threes and high scores

[EricaLubarsky]

Warriors getting booed and Silver looks like he's worried about getting pantsed

[satrekker]

Is this the thread for live draft?
