Draft Embiid
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

Unless he's chronically injured then don't draft him.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

Someone taking on Boozer has been rumored forever.


Yeah, but the Bulls could just as easily amnesty him and they'd still need a few more million, so they might save this year's picks as ammo anyway. Wouldn't be surprised if they took Saric with one of their picks so they don't have to pay him next year.

There's no sign and trade type arrangement except for a player's immediate former team, right? Like, we couldn't sign Anthony and immediately trade him to the Bulls for Boozer/Dunleavy/Butler and picks right? I guess even if you could, it'd be too late for this draft (unless there was a complicated pre-arranged deal).

Supposedly reinsdorf doesn't want to amnesty anyone which is where the boozer dump originated.

Just watched all of this and re-fell in love with Jabari Parker, although I wish he was as skinny now as he was in that game. The commentator made the interesting comparison to Grant Hill - which is kinda weird because Jabari's a great ball handler and can run the floor with the ball, but isn't really known for his assists.

Randle looked great in that.

After that Wiggins, Exum and Karl Towns were in my next tier.

Schroeder had a lot of impressive moments.

Turner's having some money problems now that he's in between contracts and expecting to get playing for an NBDL team next season.

So, here's my read on the situation.

The Sixers and Cavs are playing chicken right now. I think the Cavs still want to draft Embiid. Tellem is trying to steer Orlando and Utah out of the picture, but Philly is the wild card because Hinkie doesn't care if Embiid plays this year. Philly is trying to convince Cleveland that if they trade down any further than 3, they aren't getting Embiid, because the Sixers will pick him. (Whether they actually will or not, I don't know.) So for Cleveland, it comes down to whether they're going to risk losing Embiid to add Derrick Favors and 23, or whether they take what Philly's offering and call it a day and just take Embiid at 3.

Unless the Sixers wanted Embiid all along.

Ford/Goodman live tweeting a mock draft and this scenario arose

Trade offer: Chicago's Gar Forman offers No. 16 and No. 19 to Philly for McDermott??

Chad Ford and Jeff Goodman (who?) are doing a mock draft on Twitter. So far, Ford has drafted us Exum, traded MCW for the 7 and drafted Vonleh, drafted McBuckets at 10 (actually, Goodman made the tenth pick), and then traded McBuckets for both Bulls picks (16 and 19) after Goodman made the offer and Philly fans pushed for it.

He just took Saric with 16.
