Kristaps Porzingis to Boston for the #3 overall pick.
Knicks use the pick to draft Josh Jackson.

Paul George to Houston for Gordon, Dekker, Harrell, future 1st. Or instead of Dekker and Harrell they get Capela.
Then they go after Paul in FA for a big 3 of Paul, Harden, George.
BIG STRETCH...

I got a weird feeling that tatum might be the best prospect in this draft. I like fox a bunch too. Ball's pg skills are great, but I can't get behind him until he fixes his broken fucking shot, and his dad shuts the fuck up

I didn't want the bulls to trade butler, but I think they got a good haul atleast. I really like dunn, and markkanen is a real interesting prospect with dirk like ability. I probably would've went with monk at that spot though.. or package the pick with a player to move up 2 spots for fox. Fox and dunn would've been a dirty backcourt tandem going forward

I probably would've went with monk at that spot though.. or package the pick with a player to move up 2 spots for fox. Fox and dunn would've been a dirty backcourt tandem going forward The trade was ok for the Bulls...but the 1 thing I didn't understand for them, is that the pick swap from #16 up to #7 had to be included(instead of the Wolves just trading #7 with Dunn & LaVine for Butler. Obviously as a Wolves fan, I loved the trade for them. To me the difference between Markkannen & Patton will not be much at all as far as their skills/roles would be on the Wolves. I love Patton's incredible shooting efficiency & feel he will be a great running mate with Towns in the future. Once Patton is ready it will allow Towns to strictly play C, which is his best position, instead of playing the PF...where his defense is far more exploitable. I do hope LaVine comes back healthy & that Dunn becomes a solid player in Chicago. It only took an extra year to get this trade completed for essentially the same trade package as @ last year's NBA Draft. I also like the move from the Wolves perspective, because Tyus Jones should get consistent playing time off the bench. Now I'm really interested in what the Wolves can accomplish in FA, since they will have a decent amount of cap space to pursue some more backcourt/wing depth. After this trade, there's no excuse for the Wolves missing the postseason(even in the difficult West). The team I feel had the best draft last night was the Sacramento Kings, as crazy as that sounds. The trade down with the Blazers could prove to be a fantastic move for them, if Giles is able to return to form or remain healthy. I also loved the selection of Frank Mason III in the early 2nd. Back to the Butler trade, I think once the Wolves realized there was no way Isaac would fall to them @ #7, the trade talks really heated up with Chicago. I also believe Thibs wanted to add a veteran over almost any prospect in this draft...there's only so many lottery picks you can have & build a winner w/o any semblance of a veteran type presence. Young teams just don't win consistently in the NBA & are generally terrible @ team defense. Hopefully with the 2 years minimum of Butler, the Wolves can get this team to make the postseason consistently...even if being a legitimate upper tier team is years away. Now from the Bulls perspective, they can buyout guys like Rondo & Wade...& start anew with substantial cap flexibility in the future.

Kings had the best draft by far. They got 4 legit college studs: de'aron fox, Justin jackson, Harry giles, and Frank mason.

Wolves had the best night overall! I forgot the guard in Toronto that is a free agent, but the Wolves are after him as well. Minnesota has money to spend and I do see a playoff team for sure.

Well this is getting flipped as the Clippers just traded Paul to the Rockets for Beverly, Williams, Dekker, 18 1st.

What about that Paul George trade? I know it could just be a one year rental, but he's a top 10 player in the NBA + they got his bird rights.
They ditch Oladipos 4year/84 mil contract and throw in Sabonis's kid who had an awful rookie year. Maybe he develops, maybe he doesn't. Seems like a real weakass package.

Thunder now with Westbrook/George. Now they should try to flip Kanter for some more shooting. Especially if they're only gonna play him 5mins a game in the playofffs.
