2022 NBA OFF SEASON DRAFT FREE AGENCY TAMPERING ETC

I cannot imagine intentionally getting 2 hours of sleep a night. Probably why I never had kids.

i def got more than that as a new parent!

I have insomnia once in a while and two hours two nights in a row leaves me feeling hungover/stupid like I could kill myself accidentally on purpose.

it's really crazy I just realized that the NBA Draft Lottery is tonight, usually I've been obsessing about it for a month

yeah i tuned in for the game and realized its not for half an hour becasue of this

im watching it baby who will get the #1 pick one of the teams who will get the #2 pick also a team

nuggets will win the nba draft lottery

why do they even have the players here they aren't getting drafted yet

this is really one event in the world of sports where i do not need a 20 minute intro and analysis, just gimme the order and go to the game

*abe simpson voice* get to the monayyyyyyyyy

jordan is right ppl are underrating chets shooting jay bilas just listed shot 40% from three as an after thought lol

oh good tuned in just in time

s/o to my guy anderson varejao lookin slightly hungover

rigged

lol i had the same thought re: andy

boo to the kings moving up

draft shaq again imo

big day for the orlando magic theory

jabari smith is a perfect magic pick

yeah the thunder are gonna get chet

i've heard the blazers are going to trade up and draft chet and it's going to be easy and won't cost much in fact the other team will say thank you for asking so that is cool to know

nice, nice

idk i feel like the magic love to take guys with length and nobody is longer than chet

smith is extremely long too tho

maybe the prospects attended the lottery so the magic could measure them

magic gm getting out his tape measure hey chet cmere a min

Orlando draft Slenderman

imagine memphis bron

think they could have won in his first few years there

now hollingers got smith #1 too AND he has chet at 4 my god

Can someone post the mock?

its so bad heez

lol ok

when did hollinger switch from nba stats guy to college scout man?

think hes just kind of an nba generalist now

pretty funny he still uses per in his articles dont think hes even serious about it kind of a running joke, most interesting of his stuff is imo the insights from working in a front office, seems pretty clear he doesnt take a lot of his work too seriously tho, prob hard to come back to a silly fans pov once youve been on the other side

his intro about “picking from all star buckets” is hilariously dumb small sample size theater

both him and the vincente are arguing for smith as the safe pick at 1 which i mean is he even are we sure hes not gonna be another wiggins but mainly just dont make the safe pick at 1 ffs you absolutely have to be looking for a star there

i only skimmed it but it seems like hollinger's argument is basically don't draft centers high which yeah sure but based on their comps and pedigree not sure i see a lot of high-end upside with the guys he's putting in front of chet

remember when luka wasn't a consensus #1 pick

dont draft centers unless theyre you know one of the three who finished top three in mvp voting this year lol

also! seems pretty obvious chet can play the 4, in fact it could be his more natural position in big traditional lineups then switch to the 5 for smallball, his defense is prob more valuable there tbh similar to how giannis or rob williams act as rovers next to lopez and horf

uh you don’t understand, he’s over seven feet so he’s a center

yeah chet is almost certainly going to start his career playing mostly 4

cute

My cousin @robothethird is in town and I told her I’d give her a lil tour of Milwaukee on this chilly summer night. Look who we bumped into😳🫠 pic.twitter.com/RAXdSDEdFy

Incredibly, almost impossibly, the Knicks have lost more games than any team in the NBA this century, but have never had the No. 1 overall pick. Or the No. 2 overall pick. They’ve had a top-3 pick just once

they're even bad at being bad

the nba needs to rig the lottery for them once again

if the lakers had a pick this year they would have gotten the fix i sincerely believe this
