NBA 2018/19 Ben Simmons is ROTY. MEGA THREAD!

Wonder if we will try for a draft day trade to get in the top 5 and look to draft Mo Bamba. That’s the rumour doing the rounds…

Knicks are keen too apparently

I like Ayton, but Doncic has winner written all over him.

Yep - 11% move income tax, just for living in the great state of CA

Again, less money and more tax

If that does happen, his financial advisor should be fiiiiiired

How could these multi billionaires ever learn to live off 20mil per year…
I’m sure a decent shoe contract would fill the gap.

Plus being the Lakers No 1 guy, would be worth a fortune wouldn’t it? It’s the biggest team in the biggest market. The opportunities would be endless. I reckon you’d make up Bens 80 mill shortfall pretty quickly.

It’ll be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

I would’ve thought tonight at the draft would be our best bet to get a deal done as I’d assume SA would want our draft picks to be included.

However, we could just say: “we’ll keep all the good going pieces we have and get him for nothing next season.”

Suns on the clock.

Got your man

#1 (Suns) - Deandre Ayton
#2 (Kings) - Marvin Bagley III

Trades happening between Atlanta and Dallas so Mavs get Doncic.

#3 (Hawks) - Luka Doncic… supposedly getting traded to Mavs.

Is his mother a part of the trade?

#4 (Griz) - Jaren Jackson
#5 (Mavs) Trae Young

Mavs trading Trae Young and 2019 1st to Hawks for Doncic

Was this known before hand?

Imagine taking all the photos and everything and then being traded 10 minutes later.

Usually is agreed in-principle, but they have to go through the process and get their team caps and photos done.

#6 (Magic) - Mo Bamba
#7 (Bulls) - Wendell Carter
#8 (Cavs) - Collin Sexton

When is.miamis first pick?tomorrow?

All done today, but Miami doesnt have a pick this year although they could buy a 2nd rounder for cash like the Warriors usually do.

If there’s anything the last few years have taught me is dgaf about the draft.

Not like the heat have had picks for the last few years.
