NBA draft and free agency

This is much more fun than the finals. Huge talent coming of age.

Game on....clock on for Philly.......Fultz and simmons handling the ball with the best young big man joel, these kids will need a few veterans to cross over to be competitors, but Fultz is not my first pick. Fultz it is.

Lakers on the clock. Ball is the expected pick. Not top five for me. I do not think he has NBA defense, but certainly has offensive skills. Defense wins. Ball it is. Until George gets to LA they have no defense, and this kid does not help.

Interviewing ball's father. so many better parents to interview. shameful.

Boston takes Tatum. Like this kid. He is mature and NBA ready. Just announced the Bulls traded Butler. Chit. I think he is a top 10 player, and it looks like I will split my loyalty between MN and the bulls. The Bulls management are idiots. Compare that to the Celtics front office who know what they are doing.

Fourth pick with Suns. Josh Jackson. I think the best player in the draft. This kid is tenacious and he plays defense. He is not a shooter, nor was Butler when he came into the league. This kid will be a top defensive player and will eventually in about four years be a top offensive player. My number one.

The kings everybody says will get Fox from KY. I am not high on this kid. I would have taken Malik the other KY star before Fox. We will see. Fox it is.

Orlando on the clock. Issac from Florida State. I have heard good things about this kid, but did not get to watch him play. Orlando has a bunch of picks in the draft.

Bulls get the timberwolves pick. The Bulls were the loser once again as they gave up their 16th pick and Butler.....idiotic. I like Zack, but giving up Butler....idiotic. Thibs got his revenge on the idiot management of the Bulls. I can only hope that they get Malik. Who the F is this Finland player.....WTF.....the Bulls are insane. They gave up their 16th pick.....they got terrible team chemistry, they give up Gibson for nothing who helped OK, and Doug was a 7 pick who was getting better every year. The stupid of the draft.

Knicks on the clock......who cares. Phil has lost his fricking mind. He has become a grumpy old man in management and is obviously unhappy in upper management and is bored. His disrespect for players not good.

Do not know a thing about him, but Jackson is high on foreign players.

I am going to stick this out until the 16th pick to see who the Bulls could have got keeping Butler. I am sick. I was a thibs fan, and I hate what Gar foreman and Paxson have done to the Bulls. A drunk throwing darts at names on the wall could do a better job than the bulls.

Dallas next. Dennis Smith Jr. No knowledge.

Kings pick next, trade with Trail Blazers. Zach Collins looked good in the championship game. Good move for Trail Blazers.

Hornets getting Howard and Monk is a home run, second best to timberwolves steal from the Bulls. I cannot believe this guy fell this low. I would take him over Ball.

Detroit get luke Kennard from Duke. Not a bad player, as Detroit is getting better and growing last year. Good addition.

Denver picks Mitchell from Louisville. Probably trade bait as they are full of guards.

TRaded to Utah. Utah knows how to play defense and this kid can play defense. I will take defensive player all day long.

Heat at 14 on the clock. Power forward Adebayo out of KY.....I watched the guards on KY.....did not pay attention to their big man. The Heat played good basketball the second half and I believe they will make the playoffs this year.

Two more to go before the Bulls would have picked before dumb and dumber gave away the franchise. You have to work hard to be that stupid. All the announcers are giggling. It has to be the dumbest trade in my adult life.

Kings get Portland pick. Justin Jackson from North Carolina. He looks very mature. I will have to research this guy, but national champion tells you a great deal. I saw Duke beat NC earlier in the season and was not impressed with any NC player.

Bulls on the clock........What a Bull chit explanation by ESPN with his screen. This pick goes to Thibs who picked the Bulls pocket. Levine has a knee energy. Jimmy Butler is Chicago. Hard work and discipline and once again seeing management stabbing stars in the back.

Justin Patton. I do not know a thing about him. The Bulls could have used him with Butler.....what a disaster. I am done.

I'd like to think that valentine would get some more playing time and develop into the star i predict.

But the bulls will probably screw him up somehow.

They already have. They traded Snell to the Bucks who is starting as the Bucks are up and coming and took the Bucks point guard who was rookie of the year and took playing time from Valentine and both of them need work. Rondo has no true backup point. Every time Valentine missed a few shots, Fred pulled him. The kid has had his confidence shattered. No young kid will succeed with the current Bull's management and Jerry the owner is too damn loyal to let dumb and dumber go. I am sick right now, and the only satisfaction was watching teh ESPN experts laughing out loud on that trade. I am happy for Thibs because Butler will lead those players to execute defense. The timberwolves are in the playoffs, and with Butler the sky is the limit. They unload a bad knee, and a high draft choice who could not unseat Rubio, and all of a sudden the T Wolves are for real. I am sad for Chicago. Jimmy's childhood story resonated with Chicago, and his modesty and hard work is what Chicago respects. He will be missed and I hope he blossoms.

Hilarious......MSN graded all the teams on the draft and trades and the Bulls got a F-.......that was too kind. I went to a wake this evening and folks are piszed, but Jimmy gave the most beautiful thank you to Chicago and the Bulls organization giving a kid a chance to achieve. A class act. I could never be so gracious with those fools. They hired Fred to get a yes man, and like Jackson trying to force the triangle offense on his coaches, some people are just not meant to be management. Paxon and Foreman are dumb and dumber and the whole city wants to hang em out to dry. Paxon hearing the unanimous dumb as national and local press goes on air and says they are going with a youth movement which will fall into Fred's system, which if you eliminate the lies, means that they will control Fred, and Fred can control a bunch of young kids to lose games for five more years before somebody finally gets rid of the problems.....

Giving the MVP award at this late date is stupid. First, the post season does not count. Second, people at the end of June should not be talking about basketball. The NBA has become professional wrestling.
