2014/15 NBA Thread pelican and okc bitches

[OU11]

C's are big on Winslow and the deal with CHA has been rumored all day and he'll be there at 9.

I think he's an awesome role player which is all you can expect from 9 on. Sure the boom or busts are there but getting a guy like him is great. At the very least he's going to be a really tough defender and his upside is jimmy buckets

 

[NML]

decent chance OKC moves out of the first round completely. 14 roster spots accounted for assuming they re-sign kanter, singler, and dump ridnour. only one spot left although they can still get payne at 14.

Heard that they are trying to clear cap space - Ridnour/Lamb is a good first step.

Maybe they'll trade Dion? Has a team option but I doubt they'd want him to walk for nothing.

Maybe. Still not sure what they're doing with Huestis and Christon (last year's picks currently in the D-League), either.

 

[Herrb]

Lmao that's amazing

 

[NML]

Someone who watches more college ball than me, gimme dat scouting report on Winslow. I've heard comparisons to Harden??

 

[NML]

Suns tried to move up, couldn't. C's still trying.

Lol wat. Winslow isn't a shooter. Great defender, athletic slasher with a decent long range shot. I think @OU11 had it right on with a ceiling of Jimmy Butler.

No. Very athletic and strong. Can't do anything but bully his way around right now which won't work as well in the league. I only watched him 4-5 times but I didn't see him show much skill on the ball. He'll be a hustle guy until he learns to shoot. Maybe he showed more in other games, idk. He's going to immediately be a really good defender at the 2/3/4

 

[NML]

He shot 39% from 3?

 

[silverwheels]

kaminsky to charlotte. heat will then take winslow...prolly

 

[NML]

Yeah Heat getting Winslow seems like a nice get for them. I doubt they thought he'd be there at 10.

 

[OU11]

He shot 39% from 3?

I assume it was open looks created by Okafor. When I watched him he created his shot by going by a defender who was shifting back from help. He didn't do much one on one straight up. Hit some corner threes that were open though, I really think he is the best pick at the moment because if he never gets any better he's going to be able to guard the 2/3/4 and hit open looks occasionally.

 

[adchester]

He shot 39% from 3?

He's not a bad shooter, but I don't see him really creating for himself. Only had 110 attempts, I bet that percentage is bumped largely from playing with Tyus and Okafor. Lots of open 3s.

 

[adchester]

Damn you @OU11

 

[silverwheels]

Pacers shopping lay low hibbert so they can draft Myles Turner. Means Thudner can get Payne at 14.

 

[NML]

Love that Rounders reference on ESPN

 

[OU11]

Will this be the first time OKC has moved up?

 

[NML]

Again, I don't know much about Winslow, but he could be this year's "guy who falls to a good team so everyone overhypes." There's normally a reason these guys fall.

Remember when OKC drafted Perry Jones?

Perry averaged like 22 during a 3 game stretch this year

Then he got hurt and never played again

 

[silverwheels]

as far as i know.

 

[silverwheels]

Perry averaged like 22 during a 3 game stretch this year

Then he got hurt and never played again

yeah, when OKC had like 8 healthy players

 

[OU11]

Glad I don't have to watch Lyles in OKC.

 

[Brick]

Lol at cauley stein pick

 

[silverwheels]

Glad I don't have to watch Lyles in OKC.

payne train is coming, babby. gonna need a starting PG after RUSS bolts to da errrrrrzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Reel]

Lyles sister tho

 

[silverwheels]

Booker to Phoenix. Can't see OKC drafting anyone but Payne. Just not Dekker, plz.

 

[Heisman06]

Winslow falling to Miami at #10 is eerily similar to Caron Butler falling to Miami at the same spot many years ago. He's far from a perfect product but I think he's an absolute steal at #10.

 

[Brick]

Dekker is destined to go to okc. Douchelord

 

[OU11]

Dekker is destined to go to okc. Douchelord

don't you put that evil on me, ricky bobby

 

[Herrb]

OKC might as well pick whitey

 

[Herrb]

Lyles sister tho

You talkin bout the GoT redbone lookalike right?

 

[silverwheels]

OKC might as well pick whitey

already have like 4 white guys. pretty sure that's one too many.

 

[Brick]

I thought black guys look good in anything until this draft. Lawf these outfits. Russ is fapping I'm sure

Kaminsky clearly went to goodwill doe. Predictively

 

[silverwheels]

RUSS would outdress all these fools while singing Taylor Swift and balancing dogs on his back, doe.

 

[silverwheels]

#PAYNETRAIN #RUSS #THUDNER #SALADS

 

[Brick]

Watching that guy use that selfie stick is the low point of my life

 

[NML]

Talking in the third person isn't douchey at all

RUSS + PAYNE = SHAMPSHIP

 

[CJ_24]

#welcometoanotherdecadeofirrelevance

 

[silverwheels]

Watching that guy use that selfie stick is the low point of my life

might actually be a good thing that he doesn't know how to use it

 

[CJ_24]

How did Kaminsky go before Winslow? Did none of these teams watch the ncaa basketball shampship contest?

 

[silverwheels]

Payne has a broken finger and won't play in the Summer League so he's a perfect fit for OKC.

 

[NML]

 

[Bmack]

people value the great great grandson of the guy who built the chicago white sox ballpark over the son of a sitcom police officer.

 

[Brick]

This is what people said when tyrus Thomas beat Lamar is Aldridge in college. Good thing you ain't a gm

 

[silverwheels]

Wizards sending Atlanta the #19 pick and two future 2nd-round picks for Kelly Oubre. Trying to build a solid team for Durant in 2016.

 

[Bmack]

Cameraman premature with the pan to the shoes shot on oubre and instead did a pan to the crotch shot.

 

[Brick]

This is great hate wtching. All these douchebags become millionaires

 

[CJ_24]

idk man. I've seen Kaminsky play more basketball than I ever care to admit, I don't think he has the quickness to be any good in the nba. He has to really on way to much misdirection that nba players are too disciplined to go for, and if they do they're so much more athletic that they can usually recover. I'd be surprised if he amounts to anything.
