2017 NBA Offseason Thread: Magic Johnson and Phil Jackson race to the bottom

[Jem]

Upside is what we've drafted for the last 5 years and it has gotten us nowhere

[Andalusian girls]

who the hell is this French kid

[Moss]

Oh shit Kings have to take Fox and Monk

I'll put it this way, if you draft a team of solid but unspectacular players, your team will be solid but unspectacular.

There are many reasons the Magic have been terrible and drafting for upside is pretty far down the list.

[Krandor]

Oh snap, the Blazers snagging Collins is awesome.

[Moss]

Trading 10 for 15 and 20 in this draft feels idiotic. Terrible kings

[kisada]

i like it a lot for them.

[Moss]

i like it a lot for them.

Why? The drop off between Monk and Collins and the rest of the draft is here

We'll see who they take

[Moss]

Giles or Anunoby fall to Hawks plz

[kisada]

i like the chance for them to take more talent when they're that talent deprived.

[Moss]

John Collins... meh...

[KuroTsuki]

It's official. Jimmy and 16th pick to TWolves for LaVine, Dunn and 7th pick.

LaVine, Dunn, and Lauri Fuckin Markkanen for Butler. smh

[KuroTsuki]

Curious if Boston is going all in on KP now with Butler out of the picture. Unless Wolves are looking to flip him.

[kisada]

nah they're trying for PG. talks are serious but stalled ATM

[kisada]

KP asking price is exorbitant. so nobody biting

[Vaspinne]

Raptor's draft pick looked fucking THRILLLLLLLED lol

[Heavencloud]

Oh snap, the Blazers snagging Collins is awesome.

Hope he pans out, game looks 10x better than Leonard.

[Krandor]

Woke up and saw that Warriors managed to grab Jordan Bell last night, HNNNNNNNG

[Jem]

I am still baffled by our draft.

Like I get Isaac at 6. Even if I don't like him, I get why we took him

What I don't get is why did we trade the 25 and 35 picks when we have needs everywhere? If you're trading them, trade up or trade for a player. Trading for future picks 2-3 years down the line that are likely to be worse than the picks we gave up for them just confuses me. I don't understand what we're trying to accomplish.
