Draft Day Open Thread

PrintWith thanks to Citizen ClipperChuck for starting one in the FanPosts, here's is the front page Draft Day Open Thread. There are just a couple of hours to the start of the draft now, and the trading has begun, with Corey Maggette, John Salmons and Stephen Jackson all involved in a three-team deal between the Bobcats, Bucks and Kings.
I'll be heading to Playa Vista soon to spend draft day with the Clippers, though with no first round pick I'm not sure why I'm bothering. Still, today is also a big day for trades (as evidenced by the activity already) and if the Clippers are going to make good on their "something done by the end of June" comment, it would likely be now or not for a long time. The current CBA expires in a week, and today is more or less the last chance to make deals before a new one is in place.
So will Philadelphia move Andre Iguodala? Will the Clippers make a move with Chris Kaman? Stay tuned.

This is so bizarre as the still have not signed their head coach.
I love Scotch. Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch!. Here it goes, down in my belly! Ron Burgundy
Yes I know but just strange and kind of disempowering to Vogel
as they usually have input on picking their staff. At least hire him first and then announce the assistant coach.
I love Scotch. Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch!. Here it goes, down in my belly! Ron Burgundy
It's part of deal
The Pacers have made it clear to Vogel that he must have experienced assistants. Vogel did a nice job of coaching the Pacers but the situation strikes me as being very similar to Mike Davis getting the head job after Knight was fired at IU. A good man but over his head. I predict the same outcome for Vogel.
good for him
shouldve gotten first crack at the laker gig
But now we can make fun of them for Mike Brown
So it’s okay.

Bogut got hurt
I’ll go out on a limb and say if Bogut can play 70 games, they finish above the KNicks and Hawks

It’s depressing to watch his face when he’s shooting free throws. His arm got so screwed up, he just looks fed up with it all. Poor dude.

Rumours about Salmons and #10 being traded for Parker and Jefferson
Why on earth would the Spurs do that?
money
Parker and Jefferson make 20+ million a year. Salmons and Jefferson are swapping overpaid over the hill SFs. Really TP for 10th pick.

love that trade for the bucks
most of all. they get the best player in the deal, someone who they badly need in that system: a flat out scorer. not only that, but jackson isn’t a bad defender himself, and will fit well under a skiles-led system. jax’s contract isn’t much different from maggette’s, and jax just fits better in mil. udrih is a wonderful backup for jennings, and that they still got a top 20 pick back isn’t so bad neither.
dont know why the kings are doing this, really. i guess they really want jimmer and figure he’ll slide a bit. the charlotte side is ok, but im not raving about it like some.
considering how crappy salmons was last year
id rather not take the risk and bank on someone else’s idiocy to take salmons
I am not saying it was a good deal for the Kings
I think it sucks for them myself, unless they get another good deal out of it.
This isn't a Spurs type move though
unless of course as soon as they get the 10 pick, they flip for 2 picks later in the draft and 5 future second round picks

Charlotte is looking to retool itself, this is a great first step.

if this was another draft, id be more confident in the move from their side
i feel like there’s a lot of blurring between the talent in picks in the second half of the lotto
Cho wants Biyombo or Leonard.
Proud member of Club FTR. falconPUNCH! for president!
if ibaka hadn't made these near impossible leaps over these last couple years
i feel like most nba fans would be a lot less confident in biyombo’s stock. banking on him to be a legit force in the league might be a bit of a stretch, tbh. who knows if the guy will every had a semblance of an offensive game.
It depends
if I were a Kings fan would I have accepted the fact the Kings aren’t going to use their cap space anyways? In that case they really didn’t lose much besides Udrih for Salmons. They saved a few bucks by picking Jimmer 3 picks later. This is a bad basketball trade but there was no way for the Kings to even come close to fixing themselves overnight.

The Bucks get rid of Maggette and bring in a warrior in Steven Jackson. That’s a winner in my book.
also if the best thing olshey ends up offering for iggy is kaman/gomes
then i just dont know what to say, man
i hope hes at least offered kaman/aminu and got shot down

if olshey does nothing today after stringing us all along about today being the clips trade deadline
then he deserves all the ridicule he gets from us
he’ll officially just be a lot of talk until he proves us otherwise. ive given him the benefit of a doubt until now.
Watch him make some really inconsequential trade
Like our 2 2nd rounders for some really cheap backup center or something.
Perhaps
But preferably he shouldn’t make anything too “desperate” that equates to paying too much. I don’t think anyone here wants him to trade the Minnesota pick in a deal for A.Iguodola
I wouldn't be too upset if he did
but I would rather trade other assets first.
"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right"unknown
agreed, but..
if hes really treating this as hes been saying, and with SO many assets seemingly in the air right now, this guy needs to get us someone back at SF that isnt ryan freaking gomes
Then there’s definitely the FA period too, albeit in a post new CBA world. A T.Prince + holding onto the pick sounds decent enough for most fans
Thats the real tricky part
How much faith does the FO have in signing someone like Prince or Batier?
banking on prince or battier coming to the clips
isnt too far off when we were thinking mike miller would come down after a night long meeting with olshey last offseason
I have faith that they can sign Battier or Prince
I just dont particularly want either of them.
Sure, both would be a big improvement over Gomes, but neither is even close to being something that pushes this team into playoff contention.
i love battier
i just really dont see him leaving memphis. i could see him take a pay cut to stick around on that team, too.
i just dont see why prince would come here. dont see him as the type to chase a small money raise as oppose to being a role player on a title team.
really a better bet would be a kid like wilson chandler
even then i think money will talk a lot when it comes to where he goes
why would an aging tayshaun prince not join a contender?
grant hill’s career has been revived as a sun, unless they deal nash, why wouldnt he stay?
shane battier leaving memphis after all he’s been through with that city?
im not going to go through another free agency banking on an impact player coming to the clips when they practically have never, ever come here. i know blake is wonderful, but we have no one in our pocket as far as these potential SF suitors go in the FA period.
be careful
I tried to make this same point, and got killed
Blake Griffin is coming, hide your MBengas
Still begs the question
Would they even come here, regardless of talent?
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
yeah i really dont know why we'd bank on any of these guys coming here
we had our shot at some second rate SFs last offseason and ended up with ryan gomes.
I really dont care if they come here or not
If we could get one of them cheap, thats fine.
They would still be our weakest starter though, and then we would have a very expensive Gomes on the bench

Agreed
Rondo’s jumpshot is improving, and when it gets to be even somewhat decent, he will be a terror.
Based on what?
What in the world makes you say Rondo’s J is improving? In the playoffs the Heat completely ignored him beyond 15 feet – and he never once made them pay. If anything he’s getting worse, or at least less confident, in his outside shooting.

Is the Heat series a fair measure?
The guy was playing with 1 arm for the majority of that series.
Not arguing one way or the other on this, but the Heat series probably isn’t a good measure.
Fair enough
But even before he hurt his arm, the Heat played off of Rondo. I should check 82games, but I sure haven’t seen any indication that Rondo has become a better shooter.

Rondo is far too easy to defend
In two seasons, when Boston is Rondo’s team, they are going to take such a nose dive in the standings

Of course they go hand in hand
But Rondo only succeeds because of the players around him. When he becomes the best player on the team because of declining skills/retirements from the Big 3, Boston will be in a lot of trouble unless they quickly reload with really good players. If they are counting on Rondo to be “The Man”, I doubt that is a playoff team in the East…maybe the 8 seed. The guy can’t shoot at all, and his defender doesn’t have to guard him. Right now, Pierce and Ray are good enough to compensate for that right now. It doesn’t seem like they can keep that up for much longer.
I'm with you on this one, man. It's pissing me off too.

His D is already much better than Aminu's
He is also a better rebounder, and lives in the gym: been working hard on his shot.
eh
aminu was an excellent rebounder at wake, and he’s always had great defensive tendencies. aminu’s shot also looked miles more improved than we ever thought during the first half of last year.

GM redemption
Solid move for both the Bucks and Bobcats, for the Bucks to unload 2/3 of that terrible contract trio that was last years off season is shocking, for them to get better in the process is amazing. For the Bobcats to follow up the Chandler/Wallace giveaways with a move that is much more “rebuilding” than “contract dumping” has to be awesome for their fans. Kinda sucks for Maggette to be a part of yet another “no way we are getting 50 wins team” but sadly that might be the role he was always meant to play.
If these moves can be made, there has to to be a way Olshey can make a good trade(Iggy or a smaller trade that improves overall roster depth) without giving up our “big 3” (BG,EJ,MIN2012) or the rest of the U23 core. Even if there is no hands down great deal available, I would like to see Olshey make some type of move even if its a simple Foye and 3 million for a draft pick(A+ if its top 15). Come on Neil make it 2 good drafts in a row (Aminu at 8,Bledsoe for a future well protected pick and WW were all good values whether or not they become good players) but this time around make a move that adds wins to the current team, not one that pays off when that player is ready.
hmmm
Bledsoe is a nice player, but considering the team had a TPE to take on Cook, they could have bought that pick.
Instead of sending a future first.
Olshey HATES draft pick assets, I’ve decided. The only reason why he hasn’t traded the Minny pick, is because at this point he can’t.
Blake Griffin is coming, hide your MBengas
I really dont want him to trade the Minny Pick
Even for Iggy. Probably wouldnt for Granger or Gay either.
next years first rounder
supposedly, next years draft will be very deep….and without iggy i think the 76ers will fall to about the 10 slot
with Bledsoe
I don’t know if they could have bought Bledsoe especially since it was OKC, who had no salary issues and bought the pick themselves from Miami, but if it would of been possible that would of been the better move than giving up a future pick
by Chris O'Reilly on Jun 23, 2011 4:04 PM PDT up reply actions
you just typed it out
everyone knew Miami was dumping salary
Guess what, the Clips had a TPE. Meaning They wouldn’t have spent any cap taking on Cook’s contract.
What did the Clips do? Save that TPE for money in DTS’ wallet, and then trade a future first. DUMB
Blake Griffin is coming, hide your MBengas
You just gave the main reason why your conclusion is faulty
DTS. Who’s to say he would have even agreed to buy a pick? Olshey may not have even had a choice.
Wha?
" the Clips had a TPE. Meaning They wouldn’t have spent any cap taking on Cook’s contract."
Wrong. The Clippers recounced all their exceptions to create cap space to chase LeBron. So they could have taken on Cook in their cap space, but not with a TPE. Now, chasing LeBron was a pipe dream, but they’d gone that far – they weren’t going to take themselves out of contention for Daequan Cook. Besides, when did the Clippers even have a TPE?

The Clippers entire focus was getting cap space. Taking on Cook’s salary would have gone against that. But thanks for pointing out that FA versus draft thing. That was helpful.

my point is
LeBron was a pipe dream.
So instead of living in a made up world where players actually want to play for the Clippers, Olshey could have been proactive, and creative.
Instead he signs useless players to multiyear deals, and throws away draft picks faster than junk mail.
BTW the TPE was from the ZBO trade.

OK
I don’t disagree, smaller opportunistic deals like OKC made would have been smarter, especially in retrospect. But we obviously know why they didn’t do that. Thanks for the Z-Bo reminder – I had forgotten about that TPE.

Well yeah, in hindsight, LeBron was a pipe dream
In hindsight, New York chasing LeBron was a pipe dream too. Chicago too. No one could match what Miami and Dwyane Wade offered. But also, no one knew what was going on behind the scenes. It’s easy to point fingers at the FO now for those decisions, but at the time, a lot of people thought the Clippers weren’t totally crazy—-hell, LeBron said he’d come by to have a chat.

I'm tired of this hindsight stuff
hindsight tells us the move was bad.
So that means the move was bad.
Let’s move on
Blake Griffin is coming, hide your MBengas
Hindsight means you temper your expectations
You can’t hold someone accountable for something they couldn’t have seen EXCEPT in hindsight. Get it?
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
hindsight is an excuse for making the wrong decision
that’s how I look at it.
Blake Griffin is coming, hide your MBengas

While I say you can’t bash someone for making bad decisions without hindsight, we constantly reward people for making good decisions without hindsight, precisely for that reason. So yeah, I’m cheating.

Soft Deadlines
There are 2 unofficial ones, and one official one.
1) Tonight if you don’t want to be held hostage to a player having 7 days to do a physical and not being able to do any physicals in the lockout.
2) June 30th the last day before a possible lockout (I am not 100% sure if this can be done though do to physicals. Team would need to be in contact with agents).
3) February 2012 as pointed out above.

so tonight is pretty much the last night clips can get iggy before the season starts?
assuming lock out will go deep into the off season?
No
It is more or less the last chance before a new CBA is in place, which of course we don’t know how long that would take. So for a couple of reasons (the seven days for physicals, so teams know their draft needs, etc.) today is more or less the last day for a while.

Kemba Walker
Does anyone feel extra regret about trading the pick at this point given that Brandon Knight and Kemba Walker were on board?
Just curious.
Mo Williams is probably better than either of them
At least on the offensive end.
Knight has potential, but meh.
Yep
I’ve felt guilty ever since I saw how teams have been going bonkers for picks right now. Weak draft or not, the value of a pick seems awfully high. Or maybe I’m just noticing more as some kind of confirmation bias.
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
if we had a pick,
Kaman and the pick could’ve gotten us Iggy, so a little remorse especially if Olshey does nothing which is what I expect/predict to happen.
Fire Jasen Powell!
but then we would deal with Baron

I still have faith in Bledsoe
We can’t load up on that many PGs or else we’ll just become the Twolves
Check out http://fullyclips.com/ - Really Great Clippers blog!
I definitely have faith in Bledsoe
but it is surprising how far some of these pretty solid PGs have fallen.
And Jimmer…
Maybe they really aren't that solid
They are taking what I think are total crapshoot Euros before them

Leonard
Too bad Kawhai Leonard won’t be a Clipper. He would be the perfect athletic, defensive, rebounding, high energy SF.
If we do nothing, we literally dumped Baron just because we didn't want to pay him.
We are back to the farm league days, only now we have Blake Griffin for the next few years. Draft Night isn’t over, but………..urge to kill rising…

I don't think our trade is tied to draft night, but
clearly the FO has to get the job done this summer.
"[Fans are] not technically a lot of times savvy. They don't understand and they don't weigh issues the way that [I] weigh them."
Mike Dunleavy, Sr.
It's funny
For those of us who held out a little bit more confidence in the FO, giving them one last chance… I think a screwed-up off season will hurt the most.
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
Not sure what you mean by "one last chance"
Many here do not share the negative views expressed constantly by a few people on this site about the past performance of this particular FO. Having said that, the FO needs to do a good job this summer. They have much to work wtih. If they don’t get it done, whether because DTS won’t agree or for whatever reason, we should definitely question the FO and the reasons why we would be supporting this team.
Your post however seems to take as fact the statements made by just a few posters here and I would suggest that they are not right just because they happen to yell the loudes.
"[Fans are] not technically a lot of times savvy. They don't understand and they don't weigh issues the way that [I] weigh them."
Mike Dunleavy, Sr.
That's more or less what i meant
The only reason I said “one last chance” is referring to the Gomes/Foye signings as being blunders, and us missing that first round pick that we could have used as sweetener to get Iggy. I don’t think the Nation’s disappointment in those two things above are limited to those “few people” you’re referring to (see madglove’s post around here about disappointment on trading the pick).
But yeah, if they do a good job this summer, I’m back on board, no questions asked. If they screw up, I’m definitely questioning things.
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
Those are very minor signings - please
Don’t get caught up in all the screaming. You’re smarter then that.
"[Fans are] not technically a lot of times savvy. They don't understand and they don't weigh issues the way that [I] weigh them."

I don't think we can trade a pick later in the draft yet.
Rumor had it that we would swap 2nd rounders with the 76ers if we did make a deal with the 76ers. Both of those picks have to happen before a trade can be announced.
I don’t know anything. Just saying.

My hometown team FAILS
I'm a New Yorker born and bred. I support my Jets, Mets, Red Storm and Islanders. I also love my out-of-state Bulls, Clippers, Cowboys & Fighting Irish.
I've never heard of a GM who is literally unable to complete a normal trade.
Even Dunleavy could do that.
Neil better have made an absolute steal of a trade while he was working the phones.

Yes.
Dunny knew what he was doing, he just couldn’t coach it in the end.

As long as we're grasping at straws...
Any chance the trade has been expanded and Vucevic comes bck to us as DJ’s backup? Also, Kaman as a one year mentor might also work…

I doubt that Vucevic would come over in the trade
Olshey consistently said he didn’t like this draft class.

DJ's response
D.J. Foster :
Question from Steve: DJ are the Iggy rumors now dead with the Sixers taking Nikola?
I don’t think that the drafting of Nikola Vucevic would necessarily change what Philadelphia wants to do.

DJ has been cagey all night. Maybe he's in the know about something...

New thread
I have a new front page thread up. Between the 700 comments slowing things down, and the overstrike issue, I’d say this one is done.

Anyone think the 76ers are setting themselves up to trade
Speights in a Iguodala deal?
I hope so
