PurplePride92 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Welp, the draft is over. There were 1,036 trades and I'm still salty about D'Angelo Russell not on my Lakers anymore. Lonzo better be the truth, Magic!!!!! Who were the winners of the draft this year? I say the TimberWolves won the draft and I love what the Kings are doing. I'm excited to see if the Sixers can play their kids all season. I'm loving Tatum to the Celtics but I hate the Celtics so there's that. Thoughts?

HammerTime Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 For the first time in a long time, I like what the Kings did tonight. They did a decent job. Got some guys late with potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I still can't get over the Butler trade. Thibs after he got word Chicago accepted the deal: "They went for that? I was literally making a joke. Oh crap, we now decide who we will draft in 30 minutes. Que up some Prince." #powerofthepack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelCrazy Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 They did a decent job. Got some guys late with potential. I think Fox & Jackson alone is a solid combo. I'm not a big Giles fan due to his medical history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammerTime Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It's an A+ for the Wolves. Gives them something they desperately needed. Changes everything about them Might they take a shot at Paul Millsap now? Can't wait for Thibs to play Jimmy 42 minutes a game and run him into the ground before the playoffs.

Wish he would take a page out of Pop's book. Will be looking for T'wolves games to watch. Good stuff tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Low risk, high reward. Worth a chance there on a guy that was labeled a #1 pick just two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKMustangFan Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The way I see it is that I think both Jackson and Giles will be better pros than the Collins kid Portland used the pick on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 For the first time in a long time, I like what the Kings did tonight. I hated to see Fox land there, but after seeing how the rest of the draft played out, I thought they did very well. Got some good character guys.
