Saric ain't playing for 2 years - why declare for the draft now?

 

wtf, Magic drafted Saric and right away someone put 'my ***** my *****' song LMFAO

 

Looks like Walter Jr. just got drafted.

I wonder if Orlando drafted him to trade him elsewhere. They did just create cap room. Maybe they trade his rights to a team that wants to get rid of some salary. Like the wolves, pelicans, pistons etc.

 

Hinkie wrecking the draft as usual, easier to do when you don't care about winning.

 

Knew Lavine was going to the TWolves; they already promised him there.

Thought it feels like they got another Wesley Johnson

 

Pgs to Timberwolves are like Wrs to the Lions

 

Nope. They actually have more room (they originally had 2 picks).

 

so is the theme, drafting redundancy this year? Big trades incoming?

 

lulz

Dude does look exactly like Westbrook the way he handles the ball.

 

Reminds me more of Jeremy Lamb

 

So...

Do Rubio and LaVine play 1-2 fo the T'Wolves?

 

Did I read Lavine's lips correctly, "f*** me"

Oh lawd, lol
