More on that Kings/Mavs trade:

It should be noted that Richuan Holmes has a player option for next season at roughly $12.9 million. In total, it cost the Mavericks about $25 million to purchase the 24th pick.

10:05

Kings will also create an outstanding trade exception worth Holmes' salary in addition to creating a big chunk of cap room. They seem to be angling for someone in free agency.

C’s Fan

10:05

What did the C’s get in the deal?

Rory Maher

10:06

No. 31 and multiple future second-rounders for No. 25.

Not sure what those future seconds are yet.

Wannes

10:06

3 first rounders left, who doesn't make the first round? Maxwell Lewis, Rayan Rupert, Jordan Walsh or Leonard Miller?

Geno

10:06

Rupert to Clippers?

Rory Maher

10:07

What do you all think? Rupert is supposed to be a rangy defensive stalwart.

Jim

10:07

C's got not enough. Should have just took someone

Nate

10:07

Think there’s any fits offhand you like if the rockets wanted to move KMJ or Tate (or both)? Kind of a logjam of wings after grabbing whitmore now

Rory Maher

10:08

Definitely seems crowded in Houston.

Hmmm...nothing coming to mind immediately.

Guest

10:10

Kings will get a trade exception OR create cap room. Can't have both

Rory Maher

10:10

Are you sure about that?

I could be wrong.

The Timberwolves are sending the Spurs two future second-round picks, source says.

Minnesota has traded to get No. 33 from San Antonio, source tells ESPN.

Josh B

10:10

Are you surprised that there have been a lack of trades tonight involving current NBA players?

Rory Maher

10:10

A little bit, yeah.

Adam

10:11

Do you feel carpal tunnel yet?

Rory Maher

10:11

Nope.

Nka

10:11

2nd French guy for Spurs at 33? Rupert / Sisoko?

Rory Maher

10:12

They're trading the pick, evidently. As shown above.

Kyle

10:12

Strawther to Nuggets

Bunk

10:12

Strawther! I am biased but I love this pick

Rory Maher

10:13

Reigning champs taking the Gonzaga product at No. 29 after Sensabaugh went to the Jazz at No. 28.

10:15

Whitmore on sliding:

Cam Whitmore on sliding to No. 20: “Different feeling. I’ve been overlooked a lot of times in my life but I’m just happy to be in the NBA.”

More from Kelly Iko of The Athletic:

Whitmore says he doesn’t know where the reported medical concerns came from — “I feel fine, it’s my body.”

10:16

Kobe Brown the final pick of the first round, per Shams:

Sources: Clippers are selecting Kobe Brown at No. 30. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Bunk

10:18

Any surprises on who you thought would be drafted in first round but wasn't?

Wannes

10:18

Seems the mock draft was quite accurate and had 26/30 names. Only Maxwell Lewis, Rayan Rupert, Jordan Walsh and Leonard Miller didn't make the cut.

Rory Maher

10:18

Which mock?

10:19

I guess Rupert is a little surprising. ESPN had him No. 20 on their big board, but that's not the same as a mock.

Guest

10:19

Could the Pistons trade Killian tonight after the Sasser pick?

Rory Maher

10:19

It does make you wonder about his future in Detroit.

10:21

Alright, that's all the time I had for today. Thanks for all the questions everyone, apologies to those I didn't get to. Enjoy the second round!

Jim

10:22

Thanks Rory!

Rory Maher

10:22

Thank you!
