@WojYahooNBA: Dallas has traded the 16th pick and Jared Cunningham to Atlanta for the 18th pick and No. 44, source says.

[the_w0rks]

nice. Tim Hardaway to New York. Aaron Affalo type of player with more length. Solid addition to Woodson's system

[rusty]

#Warriors getting pick No. 26 from the Wolves, per Katz.

Yes, may pick ang Warriors. Sana si Gobert, or Crabbe.

EDIT: OKC is apparently getting the pick, per WOJ

EDIT 2: Warriors apparently traded down to #29

EDIT 3: Golden State has moved back to No. 30, cutting a deal with the Suns, a source tells Y!

[rusty]

Jazz to acquire Rudy Gobert in trade with Nuggets (per Woj).

This probably means that the Jazz is gonna let Al Jefferson walk.

[rusty]

Warriors to pick Nemanja Nodevic (?)

Bye bye Stern. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Stern's 1st pick 30 years ago. Stern's first draft.

[rusty]

Celtics trade Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce to Nets

The deal centers around a package that sends Gerald Wallace, Tornike Shengelia, the expiring deal of Kris Humphries and three future first-round picks (2014, '16 and '18) to the Celtics, sources told Y! Sports.

Celtics guard Jason Terry joins Garnett and Pierce in the package going to the Nets, sources said. The Nets also will send back Reggie Evans and do a sign-and-trade involving Keith Bogans and one more minimum-level player as part of package, a source sai

I don't know about that.  Wouldn't Olynyk be avaialble at 16? I actualy like Mason Plumlee better....a more traditional center.

[rusty]

^ I think he would've been available at 16. sayang yung dalawang future 2nd rounders.

Minny(via Utah) at #14 definitely wanted a wing player. And the Bucks (#15) already has a stacked frontcourt.



Nate Wolters #38 traded to the Sixers. He's gonna fight it out with Michael-Carter Williams for the starting spot.

Glen Rice Jr (traded to WAS for 38th and 54th picks)

Same sentiments here.  Sayang nga. Tingin ko rin avaiapble pa at 16.  I just don't know. He is a stretch 4 w/ no back to the basket game, not a rim protector and is more of a finesse player. Not really physically gifted or athletic enough to get rebounds and be intimidating.  Would have wanted Plumlee instead.

[Onkyo606]

who is the best center in the NBA now? I mean in all aspect, i thought Duncan but people are saying di naman sya center. Will Hibbert fit as the best now?

Still Howard.  It was just a bad season w/ the Lakers.

[rusty]

I like Marc Gasol (crafty scorer, great passer, great post/team defender, durable) If only Noah was more durable, he'd be close to the best. Maybe Howard can reclaim his status as the best this year if he's healthy and in an ideal team situation.

Lakers pick Ryan Kelly.

Looks like no one's picking Seth Curry.

Yeah Marc Gasol should claim that title in the near future.  He just needs to be a consistent 20-10 guy.  If Howard goes to a team that uses him correctly, expect Dwight to average a 20-10 again along w/ 3 bpg.

[Onkyo606]

havent been watching games that close sir DVD and I thought D12 is not the type who can lead a team to a championship, was it a case perhaps of him not fitting in with the system  or him not being a good fit with Kobe?

i like them both too. No hanky panky centers all hardwork sulit na sulit yung team sa kanila, at so many points, I think Mark turned out to be better than Pau or I am wrong about my perception?

btw, It seems ang daming na draft na 7 footers, are they any good? meron bang pwedeng maging D12 material sa mga yun?

[the_w0rks]

Could've been Bynum if he didn't have glass knees. haha

Seth Curry is projected to be undrafted. Glen Rice sa Wiz na pala. I'm interested to see which teams will tank hard to get Wiggins next season.

Celtics mukhang tank mode na!

@Onkyo606

It was a case of a bad system and him returning from back injury. Early in the season, kitang kita na he wasn't in basketball shape.

[Onkyo606]

on this note, maybe he is better off with Houston? walang masyadong ball hog duon na gustong sa kanya ang atensyon di ba?

on some games I was able to see, parang ang layo nga sa dating D12 though at the onset naiisip ko agad na baka di mag fit.

maganda sanang bumalik yung dating tikas para mas maganda ang discussion sa thread, Lakers at Miami ang palaging pumupuno ng thread eh hahahaha

 

[Onkyo606]

sino nga pala yung nag sasalita sa draft na pumalit kay stern and sorry for my ignorance bakit ba palaging na boo si Stern?

[rusty]

The Suns may still pick him @ #57. They have a tradition of picking/signing lesser talented brothers.(Jarron Collins, Taylor Griffin, Robin Lopez)

LA 2nd round pick

[rusty]

walang D12 material, walang sure superstar sa draft. Si Alex Len mala-Ilgauskas. Si Nerlens Noel, poor man's version ni Anthony Davis or Jermaine O'Neal.

i like them both too. No hanky panky centers all hardwork sulit na sulit yung team sa kanila, at so many points, I think Mark turned out to be better than Pau or I am wrong about my perception?

Marc is now better than Pau. But Pau still has a better overall career for now.

Adam Silver. Next Commisioner of the NBA.

It's out of love. The NYK crowd loves to boo everybody.

lol. napakamot ako. Andun si James Ennis for their pick. Sinayang lang sa future Scalabrene.

Thanks sir Rusty for the enlightenment.

mukhang matagal tagal pa makakita ulit ng center as dominant as D12 or Shaq.

tagal talaga. those big men don't grow on trees. pero ang ganda nga na nagpang-abot yung the likes of Hakeem, Ewing, David Robinson, Shaq and Mourning nung 90s e.

It was just a bad fit for Howard in a Laker uniform sir Onkyo.  Which is surprising since almost all their titles have been won with an elite big.  Wrong coach and wrong system.  Coming from an injury didn't help as well.  Did not compliment well with Kobe since both want to be "The Man".  What worked during the back to back title years was that Pau really didn't like being the man and accepted Kobe being the Alpha Male.  With Howard, he didn't want to be second fiddle to anybody.

on this note, maybe he is better off with Houston? walang masyadong ball hog duon na gustong sa kanya ang atensyon di ba?

Yes sir best fit talaga Houston.  They play fast, pass the ball around and the coach used to be an elite big man.  Could teach Howard a thing or two in the post.

Marc is now better than Pau. But Pau still has a better overall career for now.

Agree on Marc better than Pau now but Pao still has the better career overall.  Could go down as the best Spaniard in NBA history but also the 2nd best European player next to Dirk.

[frequenzy]

after looking at all the draft prospects, ang daming mga 7ft pero all of them are just average big man, walang dominant like d12/shaq.

i can't believe Boston is really trading Pierce, looks like they will be in rebuilding mode the next few years.

[rexFi]

^^

Did not compliment well with Kobe since both want to be "The Man". 

For me this was the only reason.

[the_w0rks]

nung 2008 bumulusok bigla yung number of Boston fans. Ngayon, sobrang konti na. Naglipatan na lahat sa Heat. haha

Lakas bigla ng Nets! Hope they actually contend next season.

STARTING 5:

Deron Williams
Joe Johnson
Paul Pierce
Kevin Garnett
Brook Lopez

That's a solid bunch!

Bench:
Jason Terry
Marshon Brooks
Andre Blatche
