2014 NBA Draft

[bluejays]

I wonder if Phoenix is trying to make a deal with Toronto?

[TjRhythmic]

Question. Do trades go through after the draft?

[bluejays]

Yup, they're proposed but have to be approved by the NBA before becoming official.

Hmm....

Bruno Caboclo. European Kevin Durant. Hmmm...

[Read Only]

That seems like an odd pick, especially at 20.

Weisbrod get hired by Toronto?

Proposed Trades :
Philadelphia traded their 10th pick Elfrid Payton to Orlando's 12th Dario Saric
Chicago traded their 16th pick Jusuf Nurkic and their 19th Gary Harris to Denver's 11th pick Doug McDermott.

Toronto Raptors missed out on Tyler Ennis who were picked by Phoenix as 18th pick. Okay, WTF happen??? Who the heck is Bruno Cabolco??? I was thinking they will pick Shabbaz Napier and maybe trade him to Miami later on. Wow!!

Yikes

The Brazilian Durant actually. I know you always gotta have the prospect pool full, but if Miami was trying to trade up why not take another second round pick and pick him there.

Having flashbacks of the Flames 2012 draft

So the Raptors basically drafted Mark Jankowski. If it pays off then i'm all for it i guess.

[SebC]

LOL... seems like everyone's got the same analogy here.

A kid was supposed to be picked (by all accounts top 10 in this draft) and a few days before the draft was diagnosed with a career ending genetic disease. The NBA held a moment for him and said the NBA drafts him and introduced him on stage as if he was drafted.

The Mark Jankowski of the NBA draft. Nice boys

[flamingreen]

Brazilian taken off the board, I'm getting Rafael Araujo flashbacks.

I am sure the Raptors scout sees a lot of potential on Bruno.. 6'11" forward is a good size but we just don't know anything about this guy. We'll see in a few years if he is going to be Bargnani type or Ginobli type of player.

[bluejays]

So far the ESPN crew has been bang on with most of their comments. I'm actually shocked the Raptors weren't roasted by them over where he was picked. Masai and Crew really screwed this one up by not dropping lower and getting an asset. I haven't seen the guy obviously, but there's almost no chance he'll play a game in the NBA. Why not drop down with such a project? Damn, what a disappointment.
