2022 NBA OFF SEASON DRAFT FREE AGENCY TAMPERING ETC

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.

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

confession time i do not know who is on the knicks besides julius randle

i don't get the brunson thing at all

the knicks have not had a good point guard since the first bush administration

he's a nice player but if he were a star i'm pretty sure we would know that by now

overpaying for second options, it’s what the knicks do

When has that ever stopped the Knicks?
xp lol

take jalen duren and let mitch rob walk? no, that would be too easy

just learning about david roddy, i hope he makes it

i was promised one hundred trades

Roddy is a super super cool player and it would be great for the game if it works

Boom

The Kings are trading No. 37 to the Mavericks for two future second-round picks, source tells ESPN. Dallas is focused on Jaden Hardy with pick.

perk calling banchero a combo of michael beasley and ben simmons oh no

the heat drafted an international player for the first time in 20 years. i’m all in on jovic after watching 4 mins of his highlights

haha he's definitely a high variance pick

in other news the spurs drafted 2 shooting guards last night with the picks they acquired from trading derrick white and thad young, and at this point it feels like a 2k glitch

i remember thinking all their picks were interesting potential upside plays but also like they might end up with more keldon johnsons, lonnie walkers and devin vassells

that's kind of their type. i went back and looked and since 2016 they've had 10 first rounders. 8 of them have been 6'4" or 6'5" combo guards or wings. the only two that werent were luka samanic (lol, didnt even finish his rookie contract) and now sochan (who im VERY high on, wooooooo)
