NBA Draft/trades

The NBA

where you can give away a guy who goes 13-3-5 lifetime and a number one pick for an undisclosed 2nd round pick......and everybody thinks it is a great deal for you!!!

LOL

Ah the intricacies of the Salary Cap

Chicago and Miami are setting themselves up to strike it rich.

The Knicks and Dala's mancrush Donnie Walsh? notsomuch...

Am I just a beaten down, pessimistic knicks fan when I think that they are going to net Joe Johnson and Carlos Boozer and a few clowns instead of a real difference maker???

Cannonshell.com underrated move of the season

Daequan Cook to Okla City for nada. Could there be a team that needed a one dimensional three point shooter more than Okie City? Sure he wont score more than 7 or 8 a game but his shooting meshes perfectly with their offense and he makes squat. Obviously not a ground breaking move but the kind that could win you a game or two in the playoffs next year.

Utah picked a white guy.

Why are the ESPN guys ignoring the story that this pick is for Washington?

Why am I talking to myself?

The Avery Bradley pick hints at a blow-up unfortunately.

Why do I think Okie City just got like the number 3 pick in the 2012 draft for a backup point guard?

He cant start if Allen leaves can he? Isnt that a huge dropoff even if allen is only a one way player at this point?

This might be the worst draft ever...

at least in terms of buzz. Even Jay Bilas seems to be mailing it in. He hasn't gotten hysterical and started making up words even once. I do think he said 'lengthability" though

Portland fires their GM prior to the draft and then lets him make the picks???

What???

I'd draft Scavs if they did this to me.

With the 22nd pick in the 2010 draft The Portland Trailblazers select Shooting Guard Tom "Scavs" Rothstein from Southern Illinois.

Jay Bilas- I have no idea who this guy is but I like the pick. Rothstein has stoutability and his 2 inch vertical is better than it looks

Jeff Van Gundy- What are they doing? I could guard that guy!!!

Here is how bad this draft is. The Pacers took a guy with the 10th pick who was 2nd team all WAC last year as a sophomore. The 10th best player in the draft couldnt make 1st team in the WAC? ok

Huge dropoff. I'm not a fan of tweeners like him. Even if he can reproduce Ray's shooting, he's way too small to guard most twos and he and Rondo would be the worst FT shooting backcourt in NBA history. His best shot is to be Nate's replacement and be a better shooting backup for Rondo.

Tiny Gallon and Magnum Rolle are my two second-round sleepers, and not just because they have cool names. Jerome Randle too. I don't understand why he doesn't get more publicity. He's tiny, but he's insanely fast and a terrific shooter. Reminds me of Iverson with better passing ability.

Do you think that the 3 Kings fans they are showing are actual fans or are they "paid" fans like the North korean fans at the World Cup?

Okay, let me just say, I heavily dislike the NBA, but I do follow ACC basketball due to the fact I went to Clemson, and follow all Tiger sports like a diehard.

So what do you NBA experts think of Booker heading to Washington?

It's way easier to manhandle college PFs than NBA ones, but he's a good jumper so he might be able to overcome being an undersized 4. I think he's a poor man's Paul Millsap. He'll hang around the NBA because of his athleticism and strength, but there's nothing that special about his game to make him a starter IMO.

I cant even keep track of who Washington has anymore. I dont think Booker is good enough to get much time in the NBA. Has skills of a guy who needs to be 6'10" and he measured at 6'7".

Draftexpress has him listed at 6'7" 215.

You know what kills guys like this is they cant shoot FT's. As an undersized guy he should be able to use his quickness and athleticism to draw fouls from bigger slower players. But what good does it do when you are shooting 50% from the line.

the German guy just got traded like 12 times.

Nevada really had two players good enough to be drafted this year and couldn't even dominate or win the mighty WAC?? That coach must stink.
