Official 2013 NBA Draft Thread

Already posted that Venom.... YOU'RE BEHIND CHAMP.

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider
Hearing Pistons won't trade the No. 8 pick tonight. They're riding this one out.

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider
Very strong signals coming that Wizards are taking Otto Porter at 3 if he's there. Confirms what we've been hearing for months.

Jeff Goodman ‏@GoodmanESPN
We're just about an hour before Cleveland is set to make the No. 1 pick -- and GM Chris Grant continues to keep everyone in the dark.

Nate Jones ‏@JonesOnTheNBA
Knew OKC would make the Oladipo push. Been saying since February that he would be their ultimate target.

Josh Robbins ‏@JoshuaBRobbins
As I wrote in today's paper, #OKC trying to pry No.2 pick from #Magic. OKC has 12th, 29th, 32nd picks, future protected 1st

Nate Jones ‏@JonesOnTheNBA
And for Oladipo, I think he is better off going to a team that is established. I don't see him carrying a team. He's a high level role guy.

Seth Davis ‏@SethDavisHoops
I would take Ben McLemore and Otto Porter ahead of Oladipo. I would even take C.J. McCollum over here. I like scorers.

Seth Davis ‏@SethDavisHoops
I think Anthony Bennett will be a better pro as well. Oladipo will have a long and lucrative career in the NBA. But not an all star.

Nate Jones ‏@JonesOnTheNBA
If they pull it off, Oladipo is the perfect fit next to Russ in the backcourt. Major upgrade over Thabo.

DRAFTNASTY ‏@DraftnastyCom
The #Pistons must be keeping their fingers crossed that Anthony Bennett is available at Pick #8. All depends on Carter-Williams' spot.

 

[jbc908]

Bennett to the cavs, im telling you lol

 

[big j 33]

I don't see OKC realistically offering anything of interest to Orlando.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Vic on OKC would be

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS
Still no decision from Cleveland on No. 1 pick. Orlando entertaining trade offers from Minnesota and OKC for No. 2. Buckle up, people.

Andy Glockner ‏@AndyGlockner
Cleveland, after reading Woj's feed, has to be talking to OKC and MIN, right?

Chris Reina ‏@CR_Reina
Not sure about Victor Oladipo's fit with Thunder. Rather have Ben McLemore w/Durant and Russ since he's the better outside shooter.

Brad Evans ‏@YahooNoise
One #NBADraft thought: If Trey Burke falls outside top-10, thoroughly convinced NBA GMs are dullest knives in the sports management drawer.

 

[shorty doo wop]

I think the pistons could use Muhammad

 

[scuse7]

Zeller getting lots of love at 4

Like, are you ******g kidding me with this? I might be way off, and I like him more then his brothers but he should not be picked that high.

1. Noel

2. Bennett

3. Burke

4. MCW

5. Porter

6. Steven Adams

7.Ben Mclemore

In no order but I'd rather have all of those guys and prob more I'm not thinking of.

 

[Animal Thug]

I was going to update my Avy to a Noel pic, but than I didn't want to get chewed up and roasted by half the NT S&T forum for rocking an avy of a player that didn't come to my team

..would be almost as worst as Henz0 rocking that Indiana Pacers avy for like 2 hours when we all thought OJ Mayo got traded to the Pacers

 

[Animal Thug]

Your not Henzo.

Don't throw rocks at the throne.

 

[ballinsam23]

Cavs gonna shock the world and draft Shabazz

 

[finallyfamous]

@PDcavsinsider: Conspiracy theorists note that Ben McLemore is wearing a bow tie in NY. Much like entire #Cavs contingent did during draft lottery.

 

[finallyfamous]

I am so nervous.

 

[shorty doo wop]

Cavs gonna shock the world and draft Shabazz

I was thinking Bennett

 

[durantula]

Cavs gonna shock the world and draft Shabazz

with the 19th pick

 

[scotthallwithapick]

Cavs gonna shock the world and draft Shabazz

I was thinking Bennett

Word is you might be right

@chadfordinsider Chad Ford
Here's our FINAL MOCK DRAFT 7.3 is here. http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draft2013/story/_/id/9427488/2013-nba-draft-chad-ford-mock-draft-70 … (insider)

Andy Katz ‏@ESPNAndyKatz
Don't mistake deciding on who Cleveland is picking with whether Cavs are keeping the pick. Cavs have been judging asset of pick.

Jeff Borzello ‏@jeffborzello
I've thought for a few months that Bullock was vastly underrated in the draft. Makes sense that he's moving up draft boards. Does a lot.

 

[durantula]

I cant be the only one wanting to see len go number 1 just to see finallyfamous's reaction

 

[julius wrek]

Hey_

Nervous over here...

Julius F. Wrek

 

[D StaXX]

Leggo.

 

[kal-el-8]

I cant be the only one wanting to see len go number 1 just to see finallyfamous's reaction

You're not

 

[woody2626]

Im gettin ready for the pr0n pics from finally famous

 

[finallyfamous]

Oh no!!!! I'm gonna retire early from NT. 22 years old and I'm out

Don't do this to me Cavs.

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

that KD commercial though

 

[julius wrek]

Hey_

I just feel a certain way about drafting a player who might not play the 1st year

You stop it.

...Don't say such things.

Julius F. Wrek

Royce Young ‏@dailythunder
RT @WojYahooNBA Oklahoma City tried to get Cleveland's pick at No. 1, but bid has failed source tells Y! Sports.

Ty Lawson ‏@TyLawson3
Excited for these young fellas. They been working hard all these years for this moment. Congrats and good luck in the 2013 nba draft

Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard
Oklahoma City has been trying to move into the lottery, but so far, just moments before the draft starts, it has had no luck...

Andy Katz ‏@ESPNAndyKatz
Nerlens Noel camp still in the dark. No one knows where Noel is going minutes before Cleveland is on the clock.

Troy Machir ‏@TroyMachir
About to rip up my mock draft. For the record I got 1. Noel, 2. McLeMore, 3. Porter.
