    By the way lads, numerous reporters will be spoiling picks tonight, i.e. announcing them on social media before Silver announces them. So if you don't want them spoiled I'd be avoiding Twitter etc as reporters will be using it as a dick measuring contest.

    I don't know what you all think of this, but I personally hate it. I like the suspense. If there was enough support, would it be possible to make this a spoiler free thread tonight so we follow the broadcast and discuss picks/trades as and when they happen?

    Woj ruined the draft for me last year. I'll be unfollowing him before it starts and follow him again after.

    Yeah great idea Paully.


    Tonight there is to be no announcing of picks until they are made by Adam Silver on stage. Anyone breaking this rule will receive a ban

    All those in favour of having Woj horsewhipped, say aye.

    Rumour is instead of dumping the #30 pick and David Lee, the Warriors are trying to trade up. Any idea how this can happen anyone?

    Jazz are trying to move Trey Burke, per CBS.

    LaMarcus Aldridge has informed Portland that he's not coming back, per Erik Gunderson (a Trail Blazers beat writer).

    Kings owner apparently considering firing George Karl for trying to run Boogie out of town. Proper order.

    Great call, and it's nice to see lots of active posters atm. Woj will be unfollowed tonight! As a Knicks fan it is the first chance I have had to be excited about the team in about 2 years. I just hope they don't screw this, Russell or Mudiay are both strong picks, presuming Towns and Okafor are gone by the time the Knicks pick at 4.

    Side note, the Knicks 2nd round pick, which is actually valuable as there is a lot of talent deeper in this draft goes to Houston. We gave up the 35th pick for Marcus Camby to sit on the bench injured all season during that 54 win season. Ah Knicks, never change.

    Haha, and I was only just lamenting having to meet someone at 10am tomorrow! Meanwhile, Phil Jackson has been today quoted as saying "For KIcks fans there will be surprises tonight." No Phil, do not trade the 4th pick for some mid ranking point guard, take Russell or Mudiay for all Knicks fans sanity

    Wiz Khalifa in the SportsCentre studio during their draft build up coverage and he is completely stoned (as usual) :pac:

    Presenter just asked him what he liked to do before a performance - he was clearly wanting to say "smoke weed" :pac:

    I'm sure I've read before that Wiz spends over 10,000 dollars a month on weed. Our friends over at reddit even created a formula to find out how many joints he smokes a day, and they came up with the number 34:pac::pac:

    I have to drive to Waterford in the morning but I'm half tempted to stay up and see what stupidity the Knicks bring to the party.

    Id stay up until atleast the lottery picks are done, thats when most of the craziness will go down anyway! I wonder if Boogie gets traded tonight, gut feeling is no, but seeing as it is the Kings anything is possible.

    Decided to stay completely off twitter, people will be RT'ing Woj/Stein et all so unfollowing becomes kind of pointless. Going to do this the old fashioned way and just watch it on TV. Come on Knicks, please don't fcuk this up

    Broussard saying we might trade down and draft Kaminsky, he is essentially Chris Kaman 2.0. No, just no.

    This is the sort of idiocy I expect of the Knicks.

    Broussard is an idiot, it's kind of ironic that he covers the Knicks. This is really a no brainer, if Russell is there take him, if not draft Mudiay. If both are gone take Porzingus.

    Stern was a dickhead but he was great on these nights, really revelled in the booing and knew how to build up the tension. In 2013 when he walked out onto the stage no one knew he was going to read Anthony Bennet's name, so when the time came to deliver the name he stalled and allowed everyone to get excited before shocking everyone. Good times.

    Timberwolves take Towns. No surprise at all there. Wiggins and Towns is a heck of a building block.

    Will the Lakers go Okafor or Russell?

    Towns #1. No surprise. Now let the games begin.

    Watching this without any twitter open is refreshing.
