Pacers get Thaddeus Young, Nets get #20 pick. Pacers just nabbed Jeff Teague and Thaddeus Young instead of drafting (seems like #50 could be had), both solid moves I think. I kinda feel like the Nets could've done better for Young but if they're strictly looking for draft picks then maybe they couldn't.
Hornets get Marco Belinelli, Kings get #22. Hmmm, I thought the rumor was the Hornets were willing to give away #22 if someone took Jeremey Lamb, so why isn't Lamb in this deal and why are they taking back Belinelli? Kinda suspect they'll cut Belinelli or move him later on. The Kings desperately need draft picks (although they didn't stop them from taking Marquese Chris) and they never desperately needed Belinelli, so no-brainer for them. With all the reaches so far in this draft, can't wait to see who the Kings will piss away #22 on.
Suns gets Marquese Chriss, Kings get #13 (Papagiannis), #28, a 2020 2nd rd pick, and the rights to Bogdan Bogdanovic. Okay, it was the Kings that are going for that international flavor (probably a good move since everyone in USA hates them). And it was the Suns that wanted to overpay Chriss. Kings now have 3 picks in this draft (so, Luwawu and Zubac with those next two picks?) and a European player who apparently lost interest in the NBA and has returned to Turkey (we'll see if he's susceptible to Sacramento sweet talk).
Magic get Serge Ibaka, Thunder get Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and Domantis Sabonis (#11 pick). Wow, quite a haul for the Thunder. I think Sabonis is a good fit, Ilyasova will do some gritty dirty work, and Oladipo becomes a 6th Man candidate right away, no? Seems like the Magic kinda overpaid for only one year of Ibaka but he can be extended this summer so maybe they've got a deal in place. Not sure where Ibaka fits for them but he's a helluva player and Coach Vogel will get good stuff out of him.
Celtics get 2019 Clippers 1st rd pick, Grizzlies get picks #31, #35. Considering how far Davis fell, the Grizzlies were probably pretty eager to jump in him and they get another pick coming up as a bonus (Cheick Diallo?). The Celtics get another future 1st round pick to throw on the pile and call it a night on tonight's draft--oh wait, no, they still have 3 more picks. I'm guessing they take either all foreigners or make trades for future picks.
Pelicans get #33 (Cheick Diallo), Clippers get #39 (Michineau) #40 (Diamond Stone). Stone strikes me as the best player in this swap. No idea who Michineau is, not sure when he arrives Stateside. Diallo probably fits the Pelicans better than Stone.
Warriors get #38 (Patrick McCaw), Bucks get cash. McCaw is nice big body athlete that the Warriors will teach to play the Warrior way. Good for that kid. I thought McCaw could get time with the Bucks but I guess they preferred the money.
Nets get #42 (Isiah Whitehead), Jazz get cash and #55 (Marcus Paige). Nice pickup for the Nets, I think Whitehead can play and with the depleted Nets he will definitely get some run. Don't feel like Paige is gonna make it with the Jazz.
Cavs get #54 (Kay Felder), Hawks get cash. Is Felder the new Dellavedova?
Blazers get #47 (Jake Layman), Magic get 2017 2nd rd pick, cash. Didn't really see how Layman fit in for the Magic, now I get it: he doesn't. But for a future pick and a coupla bucks Layman mves on to the Blazers, where he'll get his chance in that rotation.
Thunder get #56 (Daniel Hamilton), Nuggets get cash. I'm not sure Hamilton is an NBA player, is this another example of the Thunder drafting specifically for their D League squad?
