What Nets 2017 picks do Boston own?

2017: unprotected rights to swap 1st round picks
2018: unprotected 1st round pick

So we go into the draft with 5 PGs with contracts for next year, and not only do we fail to move one, we draft two more!

Ingram - tick
Brown - a reach, but I can see why, I guess
Bender - fair enough
Dunn - solid - Vale Ricky
Buddy - love it

Prince - yowsers
Papgiannis - oh dear sweet jesus
Valentine - solid enough pick
Hermangomez - love it

I can't believe I was looking forward to today.

How can so many people keep coming into management and throw away all common sense every ******* time a decision needs to be made.

If only Sacto had taken Murray over Skal, they needed a PG, could have left the spurs to pick up Skal and he might have had a chance to be developed properly and be a real NBA player, don't trust Sacto at all to develop him into what he could be. Let alone that they have 50 big guys and no guards.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Phoenix and Denver did well, both pretty strong base's to form a good rotation around.

There's plenty of things the Denver org doesn't do well, but I feel drafting has been superb the last few years. Nice feeling confident going into it and particularly being optimistic about the euros where we seem to have an eye.

Early days sounds like we might be using Murray as a combo so:

Mudiay/Murray
Harris/Beasley
Gallinari/Chandler
Faried/Arthur
Jokic/Nurkic

Certainly a deep team, hopefully can get us enough success to attract that big fish we desperately need (or naturally one of the young guys can take the next step).

Do you think we will we try and move on one of those guys?

 

[DT_35]

Can someone tell me, on draft night when a pick gets traded, who gets to take the pick? The former team or the new team?

I believe every trade has to be approved by the NBA, so the team that's receiving the pick will tell the team trading the pick who they want to draft. Obviously all sorts of stuff is signed beforehand

* I can't believe the Nuggets might be going somewhere

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

We ******* traded away Dipo/Sabonis/Ersan for ******* Serge.

Ruined my day in all honesty.

 

[mickelboy182]

Do you think we will we try and move on one of those guys?

For the right deal sure, Faried the most expendable. Gallo and Chandler probably safe due to lack of other options.

only good thing of the day for us
