The Official 2012 NBA Draft Thread

[mitchzz]

Nope, it is not. It feels like Christmas eve... for me atleast.

 

[Unforgiven349]

Pretty interested to see where Drummond will go, seems to be an enigma.

Also guys like Sullinger who stocks have dropped due to medical reports...

Interested also too see what direction Miami go with 27, pick up a C like Fab Melo or Festus, or maybe a SG to back Wade up.

Expecting a lot to go down before the draft, can't see Houstan using all those picks, also apparently Bobcats have 5 'good' offers for pick no.2.

 

[Stiffy_18]

Interested to see what the Kings get done. I am 98% certain that pick 5 will be traded. If we are keeping it, I would love for us to pick Michael Kidd Gilchrist. Having said that, I would be shocked if we keep it.

I am expecting us to trade pick 5 and Hayes (or Salmons) to Rockets for Pick 12 and Lowry and we will either pick John Henson (if available) or Moe Harkless who are apparently pretty high on.

Moe will be great if you give it time he has all the tools to become a better version of trevor ariza

Sources say Minnesota offered Derrick Williams to Charlotte in exchange for the #2 pick. Bobcats quickly rejected.

Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress
Their stance is he went #2 last year, so offering him for #2 this year is fair. RT @sorokman Why did Minnesota even bother to ask Charlotte

T-Wolves extended the same offer to the Warriors. Derrick Williams for the 7th overall pick, Warriors declined. #NBADraft

wouldnt even get a top 10 pick for him now

 

[nufan]

Ill take him for the 10

@VinParise
According to league sources, the Chicago Bulls are drafting Tyshawn Taylor from Kansas tonight with the 29th pick -- backup for Derrick Rose


Good pick he is turnover prone though

 

[Footypie32]

Man.... looks like he can do it all pretty much.

How many points do people think he will score per game in his first season?

Compared to Garnett, Duncan and Russell. Talk about expectations.

Along with Olajuwan and Ewing Could be Camby for all know. As long as he isn't Olowakandi or Kwame I'll take it

The last bit is typical Givony w***ery. Whatever you might think about Kahn, that's a cheap shot.

Warriors are in a bind; they should've taken it.

 

[silverscope]

Good draft morning everyone!!

I wont see the whole draft but should see most of the first round

 

[stewie griffen]

Is it on LP or just NBA TV?

 

[silverscope]

I'm watching on ESPN. Not sure about online avenues. stewie griffen

 

[stewie griffen]

Cheers, think it might be just NBA TV... cant be bothered signing up just for the draft

 

[peternorth]

What about Indy? Psycho T needs a friend.

it is my understanding that they will select a non white player and trade him.

 

[silverscope]

For those who want an avenue to watch... http://forum.wiziwig.eu/threads/75211-NBA-Draft-2012

 

[stewie griffen]

C's making a push for Rivers apparently....

 

[Shade]

Disaster move if they do

Bradley will be gone if they have to move up

 

[peternorth]

cats and cavs talking about swapping draft picks.

we tawkin bout draft pics!!!!

 

[peternorth]

this man maybe involved today.

how hideous is the rox jersey??? looks oversized!

 

[Scully2Folau]

**** off Houston. Apparently showing interest in Royce White at 12, 16 and 18.

 

[peternorth]

so ive had a look through the prospects slated to get selected today.

there seems to be a lot of good ordinary players. majority will play some minutes, a few will find themselves in the d league, and i reckon there will be 5-10 all stars from this batch when their careers are done

 

[peternorth]

**** off Houston. Apparently showing interest in Royce White at 12, 16 and 18.

seems very bostonian to be going for a player named white? they realise that he's ya know....

 

[Scully2Folau]

Woj says Sacramento (#5) and GWS (#7) will make trade decisions 'on the clock'.
