Draft day today. Think it's going to get wild. Already Sixers have traded Al Horford and a few picks to the Thunder for Danny Green.
Think there will be a lot more movement to come.
OKC have a ton of picks over the next few years

That's a lot of bargaining chips
Not sure the Breakers will be getting any more high school stars in future - RJ Hampton is absolutely plummeting.
@KiwiMurph Ball went at 3 to the Hornets

i reckon he is a bust as well. He'll be back in Australia...

Hampton is off to the Denver Nuggets - he looks seriously dejected!
The Nuggets are great.
I never thought Hampton looked all that good in teh NBL, certainly didn't do anything to the level that Ball did.
Any ideas about that the OKC trade will mean for Adams?
Time to ship him off? I heard Celtics.
Also sounds like Klay got hurt again too....

Another lost season
Google Steve Adams potential trade it's pretty interesting the potential three team deals to get him to the celtics. Basically direct to celtics or Adams and jj to tics thunder get three of this year's rookies plus a million picks and pels get Hayward and someone else. Or one via the clippers celtics and thunder.

Not a good endorsement of the NBL with Ball going lower than expected too. There were a number of PGs taken ahead of Hampton but the criticisms of his outside shooting and defence seem fair.
I don't think where Ball was drafted was due to him playing in the NBL. He was never going to be a fit for the Warriors so he was either going 1 or 3.

Ball really was only going to be 1 or 3 so I think he’s done very well for a guy that is an inconsistent shooter but a very good passer and more of a team guy than his brother.
Have to say there was a lot more emotion in this years draft than I can remember ever. Maybe it was the lockdowns in certain states or the fact that they were with families and away from all the glitz, but it was something.
Not a great draft by any stretch but there could be a couple of gems in there.
No one jumped out. There was one guy in the top 10, great defender, aggressive above the rim, seemed to have a great attitude. Attitude and desire are hard to see but very valuable
LAL sign Montrezl Harrell, hopefully improving their bench and weakening the Clippers at the same time
That’s 2 out of the 3 best 6th men of last season. They are going deep. Which means they are going for a dynasty.

Adams to Pelicans? I might have to visit New Orleans again to see him and Zion.
Another team where Adams doesn't need to worry about scoring, he can concentrate on what he does best

The Pelicans will be hideous. Zion, Ball, Ingram, JJ, Adams 🤮
Zero defense, no shooting, no experience.
Awful team. I predict a 25 win season

They have a great opportunity to win back to back
An interesting stat in an ESPN article about the trade.
Adams has the fourth-highest field goal percentage (58.9%) in NBA history.
Hopefully he can be more involved in the offence at the Pelicans.

Lonzo is a pass first PG so Adams should get some easy baskets if he runs the floor....
Gordon Hayward leaves BOS to join up with La Melo at MJ's Hornets. And Rajan Rondo officially thanks the Lakers and will consider who he plays for next
Rondo to the hawks with Kris Dunn.
Hayward got a pay day from MJ he wasn't getting anywhere else.

I'm happy Rondo is not going to any of the major contenders, he was a very valuable piece of the Lakers' title run
@mariner4life said in NBA Season 20/21:
also, Taipans got Cam Oliver back for 2 years!!
And Scotty Machado for the same period
Fucking bang!
That Hayward contract is a head scratcher. Can not figure why anyone would throw that at him.

He obviously thinks he needs to pay over the odds for anyone that is remotely close to top drawer. Being a small market team he would be better served taking a look at what teams like SA and OKC do, or even Atlanta now

Serge Ibaka to sign with the Clippers.
That was a great deal for the Clips at 2yrs 19m
