2017 Official Draft Thread

[sunsfan88]

Jackson seemed overjoyed with happiness in that interview right after he got drafted.

Doesn't seem to be the most charismatic person around but that's fine we have Booker for that. Hopefully they form a formidable tandem together!

 

[Ronin]

Perhaps a trade for Porzingis is a possibility?

Or A trade for LMA!

 

[Cheesebeef]

STOKED

 

[Covert Rain]

I doubt if it happens but the Knicks would want Jackson plus for Porzingis.

OK then....hell no....hell no....did I mention hell no?!?

 

[Mainstreet]

Or A trade for LMA!

Don't even think it.

 

[Ronin]

Don't even think it.

 

[Folster]

Now it gets interesting. Who does Chicago take?

 

[CardsFan88]

Great pick!

 

[Hoop Head]

After getting Jackson is anyone still upset we fell to #4 in the lottery? I think he was the player most people wanted when the lottery took place, glad he was there. Could have done without the drama to get here but we got the player we should have picked had we stayed at #2 or fallen to #3.

This might be one of those UBER RARE nights when everyone on the board is happy... especially since Slin isn't here to crap all over Jackson!

Stoked. Really really stoked. We've got young guns, flying up the court, still have ALL of our assets for a trade down the line as well.

Great night.

 

[Mainstreet]

As previously mentioned Jackson did not look happy. I'm thrilled with the pick though.

 

[CardsFan88]

It would be interesting if TWolves jumped ahead of Knicks to get the french PG.

 

[Mainstreet]

Markkanen goes #7. About right for him.

 

[Bert]

Let's not drive ourselves nuts trying to read body language and emotions. The guy gave a great interview and I'm sure everyone who is told they could go as high as #1 and then you fall to #4 theres an obvious level of frustration but that will all be a memory soon and I'm so stoked he is a Sun, and hopefully he will be too!

Paul George to Celtics for Tatum, Bradley, Crowder.

I don't he think was happy with the first question being about him and the Celtics. He seemed to perk up some once he started talking about the Suns.

 

[Ronin]

I forgot about Noah's suspension in the up coming season.

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul George to Celtics for Tatum, Bradley, Crowder.

Wow!

 

[Covert Rain]

Paul George to Celtics for Tatum, Bradley, Crowder.

Official? If so, Crafty bastards. This must have been in the works all along.

 

[Ronin]

Frank N to the knicks

The Celtics drafted Tatum for the Pacers. No wonder Gambo called it so early.

that's a GREAT trade by the Celtics.

Pick makes so much sense now. Big pickup for Boston!
