Brutal. Get well, Klay.

It seems like when reports are super vague it's because for some reason it's taboo to say achilles injury. But then why would he need tests if it's an achilles? You know right away if you have an achilles injury, there are no tests needed really. So that's the part I don't understand.

We sure it's not a high ankle sprain?

Detroit firesale has not started yet (Kennard, Rose), there is Houston with Tucker. Boston, Indy, Denver will most likely not stand pat.

Detroit, Clippers and Nets in a 3 way trade. Detroit sends Luke Kennard to the Clippers, Clippers send Landry Shamet to the Nets,  Detroit gets the Nets 19th pick in this draft which turns out to be Saddiq Bey from Villanova.

Good one, Victor.

I'm so bummed about Klay. GSW needs to blow it up a bit.

damn that sucks so bad about Klay

Mavs have a shot at a top 4 seed now

My thoughts what will teams do after the draft (not going into MLE signings):

1. Atlanta - drive prices of FA up
2. Boston - trade Hayward, they still need a center
3. Brooklyn - loaded, trade for Harden or stay pat
4. Chicago - look for PG, Young is redundant imho
5. Charlotte - too many PG
6. Cleveland - ???
7. Denver - look to upgrade Harris or stay pat
8. Detroit - resign Wood, sell Rose and remaining cap space
9. GSW - stay pat, Thompson injury is a bummer
10. Houston - ??? I still think there will be firesale
11. Indiana - ??? loaded on all positions, just lack star power. Trade Oladipo or stay pat?
12. Clippers - resign what is left, trade for PG?
13. Lakers - mainly stay pat
14. Memphis - stay pat
15. Miami - you never know with Riley. My guess they run it back
16. Milwaukee - try to recover after Bogdanovic fiasco
17. Minny - strangest of all. Rubio and Russell at PG, Edwards, Beasley, Okogie, Culver, Evans at SG, Hernangomez the only wing worth mentioning, KAT the only center/PF worth mentioning. Other picks are probably not NBA ready. I guess some consolidation at SG will be done.
18. Pelicans - they drafted a PG so it looks like Ball days with them are over, as they have Bledsoe, Lewis and Hill at the position. Chicago or Clippers could be destinations for him
19. New York - drafted a PF. As they still don't have a PG, they might go after the older Ball or a certain all star that no one in the league wants
20. OKC - sell whatever they have and develop their projects. They only have SGA, Jerome and Leque as PG, they don't have a SG (unless you think Dort is that), they have a million wings in Oubre, Bazley, Diallo, Dort, Muscala as the only PF and Adams/Horford as centers. Both picks will probably stay in Europe
21. Orlando - they are betting on Cole Anthony. Likely stay put
22. Philly - consolidated by getting rid of Horford and bringing in a bunch of shooters. They still need PG, I guess
23. Phoenix - I guess they will resign Saric and call it a day
24. Portland - stay pat
25. Sacramento - Still plenty of questions. Bogi is likely gone. What to do with Hield? Aggresively shopping Barnes
26. San Antonio - still same old borring San Antonio. Didn't do anything on draft night, drafted well though. I guess they will run it back
27. Toronto - resign FVV and run it back
28. Utah - resign Clarkson and call it a day. Trade Davis perhaps (cheap center for Mavs?)
29. Washington - mostly stand pat, unless they trade Wall for Westbrook

Pretty in awe of what Morey has done. The Sixers two issues were they had absolutely no cap flexibility, possibly looking at the luxury tax and horrible team perimeter shooting. Then they shed about a bijillion dollars in salary obligations and get Seth Curry and Danny Green in about 2 weeks on the job. And they can still offer the best package for Harden with Simmons as bait.

GS is certainly going to make some noise. 

I really hope KP doesn't get rush, I don't want the similar injury.

Knicks going after Wetbrook  

btw: Gibson might be a poor man version for one year MLE

Always been a Gibson fan.  Portis is interesting.  While I'm sure he want of punched Morris for the shit he pulled with Luka, I'm as equally unsure if he'd punch one of our boys in blue.

Wright for Snell off the table

Detroit now added two centers in last two days. Dedmon and Bradley. Can we start speculating that a certain young center will not be resigned?
