That Stein tweet says that the Dubs can offer $5.1M to buy a second-round pick.

Bobby Marks talking about his involvement in the infamous Celtics/Nets swap (which comes to a conclusion tonight), is great.

Austin, where is Malachi going to wind up? I say he washes out.

Austin Kent

9:38

He's been hurt but hasn't shown much through two years.

He could be a victim of Toronto's impending luxury tax squeeze.

Last player Warriors took from Cincy was Steve Logan, No. 30 overall in 2002. That year, MIN forfeited a pick. Tech… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Weird but interesting tweet.

9:41

I thought for sure Khyri Thomas was a 1st rounder. Times running out

Ted

9:41

Waah, already! Only two more picks in the first round..

Austin Kent

9:42

The Nets just took Dzanan Musa at No. 29.

It's amazing you can say you don't question anything the Warriors do at draft time. I am old enough to remember the Ike Diogu, Adonal Foyle, Patrick O'Bryant years when the Warriors picked anyone over 7 feet tall regardless of whether they ever touched a basketball before.

Todd Fuller just shed a single tear.

9:43

Todd Fuller.... You forgot Todd Fuller

Austin Kent

Hahah

Mike Schmitz of ESPN just said that Musa has a $1M buyout but wants to come to the league right away. That's a possibility in Brooklyn.

Up at No. 30 is Atlanta.

Thanks for the chat. Great job. Hopefully we see some weekly NBA chats like the do over at mlbtraderumors soon

Austin Kent

9:44

I'd love to do that. This has been great.

Ted

9:45

Jay, good mention on Ike Diogu, he's a good example of how an NBA player has to have the IQ of the game and the mental focus. I thought that Ike should have been a better player in the league, but he didn't know how to impact the game.

If you guys want to follow my personal feed on Twitter, get at me @AustinKent.

It truly is sad that my nephew thinks Golden St has always been good yet me being in my 30s just laughs. It certainly can turn quick you just need to hit your picks

Austin Kent

9:46

But those of us on the wrong side of 30 were able to fully enjoy that 2007 Warriors/Mavs series!

Ted

9:47

Chats are still a great format! We were all ticked with ESPN killed the chats. I was on the very last one there with Kevin Pelton.

Pickles

Those Nelson fun and gun teams were a blast to watch. No d, but fun!

Jay

9:48

Those of us on the wrong side of 40 can enjoy the Run TMC years as well.

9:48

Is this chat only 1st round or both? It's been fun

Austin Kent

9:49

I think we're all done now after the first. The guys might need help putting some articles together.

I've had a great time though, so thanks everybody for stopping by. It was a bit crazy there at the beginning, so I'm sorry if I missed anything, but we made it!

9:50

The Hawks took Omari Spellman at No. 30

Ted

9:52

Night, everyone. I am glad that Hoops Rumors gave us a chance to hang out and talk about this best night of the NBA year.
