Important work stuffs

DREEEEEEERFT time

Utah going to make a trade? Hate Favors? Sad about Jabby Jab? Maybe you'll draft Embiid.

Thunder looking at perimeter dudes. I wish we could draft Stauskas but he went and had to be a lottery pick. No idea who we take. Maybe KJ McDaniels?

I imagine Portland is looking at almost anything to throw on that bench.

Maybe an awesome Kevin Love trade will go down.

I would like to see Portland in everyone's ear about being involved in some kind of multiple-team deal if Love and Klay get shuffled. Especially any of the dubs' bench guys. I'd take Draymond in a second, but Barnes is likelier, and would at least be an improvement. No Kevin Martin please. (Maybe shved). I just don't really see GS giving up Klay anyway.

I've been avoiding a lot of off-season coverage because it's god fucking awful and the World Cup is on.

Anyways. More chaos, come draft night, the better.

I think the offer was Favors and 5 for the 1, but the word is that the Jazz like Wiggins over america's #1 cupcake lover Jabari (would this cause SLC's first riot?). I think Cleveland will trade the pick, but more likely to Orlando. Jazz probably take Aaron Gordon at this point, and just pray. I prefer Gordon over Vonleh, at least. I'd really like Exum but because of the Embiiiiiid injury, there's no chance he falls.

If Embiiiiiiid fell to 5, that'd get real interesting. I don't think the Jazz want to be put in that position, but at 5 you might just have to take him. Like, is he that much more of a gamble than Gordon?

Where Dante goin?

Maybe Orlando. Maybe Cleveland. Maybe Philadelphia.

You are rooting for not Cleveland.

Cleveland is a stankheap

Dante can come to Utah.

I wonder if the insane Exum love is just people reacting to Antetokounmpo last season. All the scouts have to go on is a few U19 games (I imagine any high school tape they have is mostly worthless because of the low level of competition). Similar to Giannis and his grainy YMCA tapes. Not saying he's bad. I have no opinion of his play because I've never seen it.

Also, I loved Andrew Wiggins' super hyped workout tape he released to show off his handle only for it to look loose and predictable. You can't go around looking bad in workouts, man.

Exum vs Antenonbkoumpo is a good comparison, I think. The minimal visibility, sheer lack of competition for him and, to top it all off, the fact that he apparently has a garbage jump shot.

Chandler back on the Mavs is cool, good for them, damn it that they're in the West. All the midwest teams are murder. I'd hate Melo back in the West but seeing him play for Carlisle would be bretty kewl.

It'd be funny if LeBron said fuck the Heat, too.

I'd like Lebron to just say publicly, that whatever happens, he will not be going back to Cleveland. Please, just make them shut up about it. Put them out of their misery.

That would be great.

LeBron can leave the Heat as long as he stays in the east. We're all full up out here.

Serious.

EXUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM. I've never seen you play and that's probably why I like you so much but still I really like you as a prospect!!!!

Thunder took an injured dude who shut down workouts because he had a promise and a dude I have never heard of, so basically a typical Thunder draft.

this is funny to me because I KNOW Dante is going to be great. Have you seen what he did to those Australian high schoolers?

ESPN panel was okay. I like Simmons but he does get kind of obnoxious on tv after like 20 minutes. I was surprised he didn't mention the Harden trade.

He did. My twitter feed freaked out about it.

Oh, then color me not surprised.

facebook tells me the lakers won the draft. Did the lakers win the draft?

They participated.

Those Magic fans didn't look too happy. Why?

Exum going to SLC?

SLC is now the capital of Australia.

Magic fans seemed pretty set on Exum or Smart.

Thunder fans are generally pissed, which probably means they've done well. Most hated when we drafted Adams, Jackson and Harden and loved when we took Jones and Aldrich so I'm feeling good even if I think McGary is pretty meh.

Hoping for CJ Miles in FA and maybe jump on Dunleavy if the Bulls need to move him to make room for Melo.

CJ Miles haha. Dunleavy would be prefect for your purposes.

Who are all the high profile aussie players and where they at?

Dante Exum just got drafted to Utah.

Mills is in San Antonio at least for the moment (is he a free agent this season? Dude's going to get paid).

Bogut (who played for the University of Utah) wears a suit on the bench, and sometimes when healthy plays for the Golden State Warriors.

Kyrie Irving is the captain of the Titanic, Cleveland

Dante asked our radio guy to please not give him the nickname "Crocodile D". Poor kid. He has no idea what's coming. Utah media is terrible with nicknames. One of the beat writers already suggested, "Dante Inferno." I can only hope in jest.
