2022 NBA Draft thread

So essentially they don’t want too many rookies and are fine with trading a lottery pick for a future pick that will sure to be worse than their current pick along with acquiring some picks for the Greensboro Swarm… like they couldn’t even get a vet player out of the deal? They couldn’t attach Hayward to the deal to offload his salary? They are just giving away picks now…

Wouldn’t be surprised if The warriors 28th pick turns out better than our 15th in 2-3 years.

Yeah that trades a real head scratcher. We basically got nothing. If it’s the bucks pick they ain’t not making the playoffs 3 years from now  as long as they have giannis

Have you guys actually seen Duren play??...He is the same rim running/lob threat that Mark Williams is. Duren is more athletic overall but from what I've seen of Duren he doesn't have much of an offensive game. 

No he isn’t….much more talented and 2 years younger.   Duren was the perfect fit but Mitch is thinking too much

Fuggin Duren with Lamelo would have been amazing but we get the Bucks pick in 2025.  WTF,  aren’t they one of the best teams in the East?

So fuggin stupid

Ya'll must remember it takes two to tango far as trades. Maybe they have something in the works who knows? Only thing I didn't like was that they couldn't get a young vet who could contribute right away for the pick..

Both are bigs that really offer no floor spacing.. in pick amd roll situations Duren was miles ahead of Williams athletically.. the edge Williams has is post moves due to physicality but neither are even average shooters and that's where my issue lies. 

I mean we desperately needed Defense and rebounding. Plumlee/Zeller pick and rolls haven't really done poo for us over the last 5 years if they are useless in the paint

Knicks got multiple 1sts for pick 11

we got a late 2025 1sts and a few 2nds for 13 smh

No idea what the fug is going on.

What world are they living in? The team lost the play in game and they think we don’t have room on the roster to add young talent? Maybe if they actually played our first round picks instead of Martins and Plumlees they would have some sort of idea of whether we had real dudes or jags. Just a thought.

Oh he feels like they are going to make a jump this year

Mark Williams is a good pick. Duren is raw and the youngest player in the draft. How much realistically do ya'll think he would have contributed next year??..We already have that player on the roster by the name of Kai Jones. Mark Williams will come in and play at least 20 minutes a game.  

Must be a duke fan lol

This is such a fuging poverty franchise.

For reference, Denver is picking 21st this year. I suspect it’ll be around the same next year.
