NBA 2016-2017 Season

Jimmy Butler to Minnesota for the 7 pick, Lavine, and Dunn.

You make that trade every single time if you're the Wolves. A practical fleecing considering what people had been offering for Butler.

@Quom you done stole Jimmy Butler from @The Chiksrara Special  

The Celtics select Jayson Tatum 

Good. At least he won't be a Knick.

 I thought it was bad but I wasn't sure.  

[gunnar hendershow]

That Tatum pick is weird since everything for days/weeks had been "Celtics like Josh Jackson" and "Celtics think Jackson is more tradeable than anyone else"

[Pooker]

When Hayward stays with the Jazz, the division battle between us and the Wolves are gonna be fun to watch.

I mean maybe Dunn becomes a star and the 7 pick turns out to be great. But it's just like, they were offered more before and turned it down.

[VerbalPuke]

I love that move for Minnesota. I feel like we say this every year, but for real they should make a serious playoff push now.

After Josh Jackson declined a workout with the C's, this was basically the foregone conclusion if the Celtics kept the number 3 pick. So apparently the Sixers swap really was just because they didn't want another guard.

Woj bomb that Indiana and Boston are deep in trade talks. Maybe Pacers wanted Tatum.

Not only the Celtics. I think everyone under the sun likes Jackson more than Tatum. But I'll allow it.

That tells me they already have a deal in place for Tatum.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, I suppose that's probably true. 

[Tyrone]

Great story with Tatum and his mom. Hope he does well in the NBA.

[Your Mom]

Jimmy! Come back Jimmy! 

[En Dub]

I hope everyone is right and we're dealing Taytum. He's good but we really need some star power soon. Maybe we trade for George like people are speculating and that helps sign Hayward (sorry @Pooker). That puts Cleveland and Golden State on notice. 

[Meacon Keaton]

Well if I'm the Suns, I'm tickled getting Jackson at #4, considering he's probably the best defender, and may end up being the best player in the draft. 

[Pooker]

I'm gonna cry if Hayward signs with Boston .

[Meacon Keaton]

Kings taking Fox, yeah? Knicks still have a shot at Monk or Smith at #8. 

We may actually get Smith. I wouldn't think Minnesota uses the #7 on a point here.  

[VerbalPuke]

Pistons fans are clamoring/expecting a big move from the front office. 

My prediction is that we stand pat, draft a mediocre player and then kill his confidence during the regular season while stumble toward another shitty 8-12 lottery pick.

Sorry, I'm bitter.

[Your Mom]

The hell is this dude?
