2022 NBA OFF SEASON DRAFT FREE AGENCY TAMPERING ETC

wasn't anfernee simons also a guy who hadn't played?

simons played prep ball at a development academy and bypassed college, sharpe went to kentucky and then held himself out because he apparently felt like playing would only hurt his draft position? or something? idk lots of sketchy stuff surrounding him seems like and i tend to be down on guys who do not want to ball

jalen duren is the guy in this draft that i have an irrational good feeling about, hope the knicks take him

if you have good feelings about someone you should not wish they become an employee of the new york knicks

fun fact: if he is selected, he becomes the owner

duren has some rob williams to his game

always delightful when the knicks select a non-american

knicks traded the pick, this is OKC's selection

knicks fans booed for nothing

okc has the next pick too, weird, must have really wanted this guy + whoever they're taking now

gotta do SOMETHING with those 4000 picks

i was super confused before that trade was announced, talk about an extremely OKC guy who is an extremely non-knicks guy

i'm gonna watch like 40 okc games next year

[waylon jennings voice} them duke boys

also props to okc for making the knicks announce the (presumably) weirder of their back to back picks

i'm gonna watch like 40 okc games next year

it's really coming together down there

imagining chet, poku, and ousmane all on the floor at the same time ^_^

and they just picked a guy i have literally never heard of

the telecast is completely unwatchable, the talking heads don’t know who any of the players are or what machinations are happening behind the scenes

pretty crazy that jalen roses mom made up the name and now 50% of nba players are named jalen

which one? theres different casts on abc and espn but they're both bad in different ways

xp feels like losing mike schmitz has really killed them

both, honestly

xp

whoa i had no idea there was an abc telecast. i've been watching espn with malika, bilas, perk, woj, and bobby marks

nba draft on network primetime my lord

yeah you have a sophie's choice of perk or stephen a smith

stephen a is on it and he hasn’t watched a game of college basketball since st. johns had chris mullins

hahah the best part of this was me getting up for a minute and thinking to myself that it made sense for charlotte to grab a center prospect who was slipping

ok

Knicks acquired Jalen Duren -- and moved him with Kemba Walker to the Pistons, sources said. https://t.co/kzyljkrFnI

in truth there's not even one jalen duren and all this noise is meant to convince us he exists

there are too many jalens and too many guys from canada

there should be a guy named jalen toronto he would be the ultimate 12th pick

wd watch jalen toronto, gen z p.i., now streaming on hulu

The Pistons are sending the Hornets the 2025 first-round pick via Milwaukee in the Duren trade, sources tell ESPN. Detroit got that pick from Portland in the Jerami Grant deal yesterday.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 24, 2022

still unclear what the knicks are doing in here

They got out from under the Kemba contract? Did they get a pick?

something has to be going back to them and i haven't seen what it is yet

god i hate when the shamses use 'moved' for 'traded'

On top of the future first-round pick, the #Hornets also acquired four second-round picks in the deal for Jalen Duren, league sources tell @theobserver.

hornets quickly becoming the most indecipherable team

hahah what. have the hornets ever done business that good?

still unclear what the knicks got in any of these trades

cap space to go after jalen brunson

#jalenszn

they got negative kemba walker

jalen brunson is sure to be a difference maker in the knicks’ quest to win the ncaa title
