2016 NBA Draft: GTB Open Thread
As much as I hate to bump down rob's post, well, the NBA Draft is on tonight, and GTB loyalists have done yeoman's work in recent years chronicling the night's proceedings in the comments. So, figured I should give us all that forum once again for THIS evening. Plus, POST COUNT.

We had to put our nearly 15 year old pit bull down this afternoon. Shitty day.
ReplyDeleteOh man, sorry to hear that Mark.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my brief time(s) hanging with that pooch.
Man...sorry to hear that Mark.
ReplyDeleteSorry Mark. Which one was the older one?
ReplyDeletesorry to hear that, mark. that's a shitty day, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI heart Kris Dunn
ReplyDeletethe wolves are gonna be fun next year
ReplyDeletebuddy!
ReplyDeleteI like Buddy too--want him to do well in the pros
ReplyDeletetwitter's about to be mean to poeltl's sister
ReplyDeleteSabonis to the Magic. Mark should like.
ReplyDeletei like
ReplyDeleteIf Sabonis is indeed going to Orlando, I'm pleased. I like him a lot. He's still young, has a great motor and rebounds like a beast, which traditionally translates. Not nearly as pleased as my friend Vitas will be though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the condolences, guys. As sad as we were to lose the dog, it was time. He was old, frail and his quality of life wasn't very good anymore. The older one was named Tinsley, Z.
Just getting home from a pickup game. Kris Dunn is a fantastic fit for Thibodeau. Minnesota is going to be good. Soon. I also think a Brow-Buddy combo could be dynamic.
ReplyDeletemagicians get serge ibaka - wonder if that means sabonis is headed to play with durant
ReplyDeleteWait...Woj is reporting that the Magic are trading for Ibaka.
ReplyDeletemeanwhile, britain is about to fuck up the world economy. wankers.
ReplyDeleteoladipo, ilyasova, and sabonis to okc for ibaka
ReplyDeleteSabonis Sr. interview was a highlight of Round 1 so far
ReplyDeleteYes. Woj says its Oladipo, Ilyasova and Sabonis for Ibaka.
ReplyDeleteJakob Poetl to the Raptors makes no sense to me. And that's not even because I don't think he's very good.
whoa - jimmy butler to the wolves for dunn, lavine and a second.
ReplyDeleteSabonis seems like an odd fit in a front court that already has Adamas and Kanter.
ReplyDeletemight've been hornswaggled by a fake account on that bulls/wolves trade. hornswaggled.
ReplyDeletedenzel!
ReplyDeletepour some moonshine out for ralph stanley
ReplyDeleteI love Denzel. Would've been fine with the Magic grabbing him.
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention it earlier but the Mudiay/Murray backcourt combo has huge potential. Interesting future developing for the Nuggets.
i like denzel, too, but i'm a sucker for izzo guys with question marks.
ReplyDeletePistons draft a time warp kid from the 1950s
ReplyDeleteI would love the Magic to get back involved in the late first round for Dejounte Murray. I didn't like him as a lottery pick but in the mid to late 20? Yes!
ReplyDeleteThe Spurs are taking Murray so he'll become an All Star now. Damn it.
ReplyDeleteDiamond Stone - one and done and drafted 40th overall. He would've gotten more minutes and been a featured offensive player for the Terps this year. He got some bad advice.
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch much draft tonight. Wifey and I and some scotch dug into a Lance Armstrong doc on Showtime. He was such a fraud.
Shaping up to be the mother of all "risk off" days in global markets tomorrow. Equities and commodities will plummet.
ReplyDeleteOn the flip side, a cratering yield in 10-yr Treasuries may give a big, albeit brief, window of uber-extraordinarily low mortgage rates. So go get your refi on.
I blame it all on the Welsh. They're cheeky.
So you're saying I refinanced a week too early?
ReplyDeleteCavs got my guy Kay Felder last night. Nice pick by LeBron.
ReplyDeleteBe afraid, denizens of GTB. THIS is how we get a Trump presidency:
ReplyDeleteLeave voter on BBC: "I'm shocked & worried. I voted Leave but didn't think my vote would count - I never thought it would actually happen."
Voting for Brexit is an implicit vote against the immigration being seen across Europe.
ReplyDeleteThe repercussions of this vote will be fascinating. Does this empower Catalonia to try to secede from Spain? Does it push Scotland toward independence as an EU nation? How long will the untangling take? Will the currency impact devastate discretionary spending in the US that's reliant on Euro tourism (looking at you, Macy's and Nordstrom)?
Uncertainty is not good for markets, and it will take months to untangle the derivative consequences of all of this.
One upside of the definite market chaos we will see is that it will/should minimize Trump's rant about how Brexit is a good thing. Not that he ever avoids bragging about negative things.
It did just mean that we booked dirt cheap rooms in Nottingham for Jess' next school trip in September.
ReplyDeleteand our London rooms the week after gonna be cheap too.
Am heading over in a couple of weeks...looks like I'll be able to have another pint or two.
ReplyDeleteThe Teedge = Robin Hood
ReplyDeletegheorghe explains: brexit is gonna be a doozy. and it'll also look a lot like gheorghe explains: trump. bunch of old white people scared of brown people cratered the global economy, and it could happen again in november. that might be an oversimplification.
ReplyDeleteGhostface!

Ormond Beach for vacation with my sisters, their kids and my parents. Time to start day drinking on the beach. Hopefully I don't get run over by a car on the beach.
ReplyDeletei played pickup soccer for two hours this morning. first time i've laced up the boots in five years or so. on the plus side, i didn't embarrass myself. on the negative, i want to die from the soreness.
ReplyDeleteI almost threw up on the tennis court today. And it wasn't from funneling whiskey.
ReplyDeletei haven't played pickup soccer or basketball for a month. less fit and feel great! at some age, exercise is bad for you. we hiked several hours in moab this morning and i just woke up from a nap. i am sore. there is a tennis court and we brought our stuff, but i doubt we will play. supposed to hit 102 today here.
ReplyDeleteI play basketball 2-3 a week and run another 2-3 times a week but played soccer for the first time in a few years a couple weeks ago and was really sore the next day. Crazy how much we're affected by different movements. I'm thinking of trying to take up tennis again and am terrified of how my body will react.
ReplyDeleteAlso, where can I get some Croatian national team socks?
And does Portugal just not give a fuck about wearing kits that involve their nation's flag colors?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I say this as someone who likes the kits Portugal is wearing and is currently wearing board shorts that prominently feature the same color as Portugals current kits.
