Agreed, we spent three freakin' 2nd rounders on the guy. He's our 3rd string PG unless Rubio or Dunn gets traded.

Yes yes they do.

Lots of jokes can be made about a few teams drafting a bunch of guys where they didn't need them.

Start getting excited about Dunn LST. I think he is here to stay


I think you're right, although as I recall the Mayo/Love trade wasn't announced until after I went to bed.

I'm actually pretty excited about Dunn. I usually hate it when coaches and GMs say "we couldn't believe he was still there when our pick came up", but in this case I think Thibs/Leydon can say it and mean it. I didn't think he'd be there at 5 either.

I wanna say one thing, it's been a crazy night, a lot of stress and very fun. One thing I take from it though is, as much as Tibs loves Butler, he apparently wouldn't include Zack in the deal. This appears to be what held the deal up to this point, to this point anyway. It excites me the organization values Zack so much!

He said Wes not Tyus. The future 2nd rounder for Tyus is a year or 2 away.

I think the Bucks are selling 38. I don't know if we bite but it would be nice

EDIT Shams Charania ?@ShamsCharania 2m2 minutes ago

Vertical Sources: Golden State is trading with Milwaukee for the No. 38 pick in the NBA draft.

To be fair, I initially said Tyus then realized the 35th pick was given up in the Wes Johnson deal. We still will pay off Tyus in future drafts.
