Official 2009 NBA Draft Day Thread

[picnroll]

Rubio to the Knicks for something. Maybe a Lebron James autograph.

[SpursFanFirst]

:lmao at the Knicks fans

[timvp]

Nelson could fall in love with Curry.



:lol @ Knick fans

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL @ Knicks..

Warriors picking a guard?!..no way..

[Spursfan092120]

Curry isn't happy.

[EricB]

LMFAO

TAKE THAT KNICKS

Don Nelson is freaking dying laughing i bet

[Blackjack]

Will Steph make it past G.S., or will the commissioner get covered with a gizz shower from Knicks fans???

AWW...

Gotta hate the blue balls.

[Texas_Ranger]

:lol Knicks

[coyotes_geek]

Gotta love disappointed knick fan....

[Spursmania]

Donnie has his plans-more and more offense...

[Obstructed_View]

Somewhere McHale is scoffing at what the T'Wolves are doing.

:lol I was just thinking that when it was reported that the Wolves think both of these guards can play together.

[robert1886]

NY is pissed! lol haha

[SPURSGOAT]

curry! nice!

[EricB]

Nelson could fall in love with Curry.



:lol @ Knick fans


Montae Ellis available now?

[Spursfan092120]

Curry to the Spurs for Mason, Bonner, and a 10 spot every time we play them. :)

[timtonymanu]

Haha New York!

[Bukefal]

NY boos begin..lol

:lol that was funny

[bigdog]

so who does NY take?

[picnroll]

Nellie trying to draft an all 6'5" and under team.

[ajballer4]

hahaha knicks fans

[timvp]

Hill gotta go to Knicks.

[mudyez]

curry+ellis sounds like a fun team to watch...especially under nellie

minn will trade rubio! thats for sure!

[Obstructed_View]

Well..their records weren't exactly horrible...he did good for a couple of years in Boston...and his teammates only hated him because of what the Atlanta FO did. His New Orleans teammates liked him. Atlanta hated him because they were contenders at the time, and the owner was more worried about money, so they threw him in there and said they were the "New Hawks." A lot of the players wondered aloud "I didn't know the old Hawks were bad." That front office REALLY screwed him over. If Boston would have drafted him, and teached him more of a team game, he could have been the best of all time.

Remind me later and we'll revisit this discussion. The records of his teams were better without him if I recall, but like I said there's too much going on.

I'm so happy for Dell Curry. He's a good guy.

[Spursfan092120]

Happy birthday, Dell.

[symple19]

I like Curry. Good pedigree. Knows the game. I remember Bob Knight talking about how good his passing is. Too bad he went to a shitty situation in GS where he really isn't a good fit. More bad FO work from the Warriors. Where's Chris Mullin?

[EricB]

Damn the honeycomb lane, totally forgot about that.

[bdictjames]

lol NY

[anakha]

The Wolves have to be trading one of those two PGs.

I'm not buying this 'they can play together' BS.

[coyotes_geek]

gs isn't a bad spot for curry. he's not a pure pg, but that's okay because nellie wants his pg jacking up shots.

[EricB]

damn Stephan wins for best dressed award.

That suit and tie is smokin.

[toki9]

so flynn is about 5-6?

i think Flynn is 5'10", and wouldn't surprise me if Stern is wearing a lift or something since he'd be standing next to a bunch of tall guys...Stern was definitely shorter than i am...and i'm about 5'8" on a good day...

[Spursmania]

The Wolves have to be trading one of those two PGs.

I'm not buying this 'they can play together' BS.
me either.

[biziofromdowntown]

Men, do u know about Rubio buyout of 4,5 $ value?

[Spursfan092120]

Remind me later and we'll revisit this discussion. The records of his teams were better without him if I recall, but like I said there's too much going on.

I'm so happy for Dell Curry. He's a good guy.
Well..Atlanta yes...because the ownership completely changed their style and because Pete-ball...he can play team ball too, they just wanted money, not wins...New Orleans didn't even exist yet, but got decent while he was there, and Boston was just as good with him as without.

[bigdog]

NY will take Jordan Hill.

[EricB]

Dell Curry is good people.

Stephan seems that way as well.

[Obstructed_View]

The Wolves have to be trading one of those two PGs.

I'm not buying this 'they can play together' BS.

I hope you're right, because otherwise they're about the stupidest team ever. We've got CIA Pop, how about DMV Wolves?

[timvp]

I wanted to see Curry in NY. Him playing for D'Antoni could have been epic. And then the Curry and LeBron friendship could have been interesting in the summer of 2010.

[loveforthegame]

An Ellis-Curry backcourt is pretty sick.

It's not a bad pick for GS. I was hoping they'd go big with Hill is all.

GS is loaded in the backcourt so maybe they have a trade in mind.

[Bukefal]

lol the knicks fan with the lebron knicks jersey

[Bukefal]

Hillllll probably

[Bukefal]

yuppp, finally hill. I thought he would be higher pick

[coyotes_geek]

lol knick fans.

hill's a good pick.

[Spursmania]

Ha ha knick fans being ridiculous...

[Spursfan092120]

Knicks fans booing the Hill pickup..they must not know anything about the guy.

[SPURSGOAT]

hahahaha! damn NY is pissed!

[Obstructed_View]

war ren sapp! War ren sapp! War ren sapp!

[HarlemHeat37]

This gives us a shot at David Lee..

[EricB]

:lol

Jordan hill has to be saying "fuck yall"

[timtonymanu]

lol seriously fuck New York.

[biziofromdowntown]

Men, do u know about Rubio's buyout of 6$ problem?


he's going back overseas

[Spursfan092120]

:lol

Jordan hill has to be saying "fuck yall"
lol...I would be...they'll be cheering him by Preseason.

[timvp]

DeMar DeRozan makes sense for the Raptors if they think Calderon is a high-minute point guard going forward. If not, they'll probably take a PG to take over the TJ Ford role.

[HarlemHeat37]

Raptors need DeRozan..

[Obstructed_View]

New Yorkers deserve for the fucking Knicks to suck.

[EricB]

To go from living in Tucson AZ to living in New York NY.

Talk about culture shock.

[Spursfan092120]

he's going back overseas
not yet he's not...he's working on the buyout.

[HarlemHeat37]

New York is the best city you can live in, chill out...haters..

Knicks fans don't represent us..

[Spursfan092120]

New Yorkers deserve for the fucking Knicks to suck.
yeah they do.

[1Parker1]

:lol What would draft night be without a pissed off NY Knicks crowd? You gotta love it...

[bigdog]

I think Raptors take DeRozan...maybe Terrence Williams. I don't know why, but they could take Williams.

[SPURSGOAT]

:lol

Jordan hill has to be saying "fuck yall"

hahaha! no doubt!

[Obstructed_View]

New York is the best city you can live in, chill out...haters..

It's one of the greatest cities in the world. But there's no denying that it's overflowing with fucking assholes.

[benefactor]

Yeah...DeRozan to the Raps seems like a lock.

[Spursfan092120]

What's it gonna take to get the draft out of NY?

[DPG21920]

Supposedly the Suns are trading Amare to Golden State for Biedrins + Wright + 7th pick (and the suns wanted Curry).

[timvp]

Straighten out your glasses, Stuizzle.

[mudyez]

DeRozan will go to toronto...they need toughness

[HarlemHeat37]

DeRozan has said he wants to play for Toronto too, so looks like that should be their pick..

they're interested in Johnson though..

[EricB]

Damn how did this guy pass an entrance exam at a university!?

[timvp]

Donnie Walsh admits they wanted Curry :lol

[Obstructed_View]

Straighten out your glasses, Stuizzle.

I wonder why he even bothers putting a lens in the other side.

[symple19]

love me some rachel nichols - yum

[EricB]

Supposedly the Suns are trading Amare to Golden State for Biedrins + Wright + 7th pick (and the suns wanted Curry).

Wow, that would be a good trade for the Suns!!

Baffling!

[Dr. Gonzo]

Damn how did this guy pass an entrance exam at a university!?

I didn't realize athletes needed to pass entrance exams.

[EricB]

love me some rachel nichols - yum

+1000000

[Bukefal]

Damn how did this guy pass an entrance exam at a university!?

lol yeah was thinking about the same thing :lol

[Dr. Gonzo]

love me some rachel nichols - yum

:tu

[EricB]

I didn't realize athletes needed to pass entrance exams.


Utopian thinking obviously.

[bigdog]

yup. DeRozan

[benefactor]

No surprise there...

[loveforthegame]

That's a steal for the Suns if it's true. I cannot believe GS would be that stupid.

[anakha]

timvp's on fire today. :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

great pick..

[EricB]

That's a steal for the Suns if it's true. I cannot believe GS would be that stupid.


I'd believe it.

[Obstructed_View]

Damn how did this guy pass an entrance exam at a university!?

I'll give you a hint: He looked a lot more female and Asian on test day.

[timvp]

DeRozan could be very good. Or could be a complete bust.

[Blackjack]

Supposedly the Suns are trading Amare to Golden State for Biedrins + Wright + 7th pick (and the suns wanted Curry).

I saw that too.

Doesn't look like to bad of a trade for Kerr...

[coyotes_geek]

blair to the bucks?

[mudyez]

clark to milwaukee?

they need a jefferson relacement :)

[bigdog]

DeRozan says "ya know" just about as much as Tony Parker.

[Blackjack]

Supposedly the Suns are trading Amare to Golden State for Biedrins + Wright + 7th pick (and the suns wanted Curry).

I saw that too.

Doesn't look like too bad of a trade for Kerr...

[symple19]

interesting to see what the bucks will do

[EricB]

I'll give you a hint: He looked a lot more female and Asian on test day.


HEYOOOOO

Nice Derrick Rose reference...

[Obstructed_View]

Does that Kia SUV really have lights in the speakers?

[timvp]

Bucks could roll the dice with Jennings. A slightly safer pick would be Holiday.

If they think they can re-sign Sessions, Williams or Johnson to replace Jefferson makes sense.

[EricB]

Does that Kia SUV really have lights in the speakers?


Si.

I just want one with mice that can bob their heads that well.

[Blackjack]

Milwaukee has apparently fallen in love with Jennings...

[timvp]

clark to milwaukee?

they need a jefferson relacement :)

Where do Jefferson get traded?





















:king

[Spursmania]

Gotta give some love to the Bucks for letting us get Jefferson.

[EricB]

DeRozan says "ya know" just about as much as Tony Parker.

One grew up speaking english more than the other however :lol

[Spursfan092120]

Where do Jefferson get traded?

:lmao

[symple19]

dammit, I wish they had brought Bob Knight in to do analysis - would be so much more interesting

[bigdog]

Jennings it is.

[EricB]

Where do Jefferson get traded?


Wo












:king


Wonder if Pop would've been ok with the trade commision investigating that trade :)

[Spursfan092120]

Wow..Jennings..ballsy pick..I hope he makes it..dude's a good player.

[timvp]

Back to back draft picks straight out of Compton.

[Spursmania]

Damn-I'm surprised.

[Obstructed_View]

Wow. See ya NCAA.

[Bukefal]

I didn't realize athletes needed to pass entrance exams.

I really liked the movie about coach Carter

[EricB]

Brandon Jennings from Compton Yo.

[Spursfan092120]

dammit, I wish they had brought Bob Knight in to do analysis - would be so much more interesting
He would have already beaten the shit out of Stuart and thrown his chair into the audience...he can't take idiots..lol

[Blackjack]

T-WILL coming up.:depressed

[symple19]

there goes jennings - let the exodus to Europe begin for 18 yr olds

[Obstructed_View]

Back to back draft picks straight out of Compton.

I almost started posting the song.

[EricB]

Damn check out the old school Kendall Gill flat top!

[Libri]

I thought the Blazers might make a move by now for a point guard. I guess not.

[Mugen]

im glad the bucks selected DJ Jazzy Jeff Circa 1991.

[Spursfan092120]

Back to back draft picks straight out of Compton.
TMZi25Pq3T8

[Spursfan092120]

I almost started posting the song.
lol..I did.

[symple19]

He would have already beaten the shit out of Stuart and thrown his chair into the audience...he can't take idiots..lol
:lol:tu:tu

[timvp]

Nets I'll guess Johnson or Williams. But this could very well be a draft-changing surprise of a pick.

[D-ROB 50]

Just got home. No spurs news?

[HarlemHeat37]

I thought the Blazers might make a move by now for a point guard. I guess not.

They've been pushing hard to get Steve Nash, we'll see what happens..

[Obstructed_View]

lol..I did.

I almost did it before LJ mentioned it, on the internet that I invented.

[Spursfan092120]

Just got home. No spurs news?
not yet.

[loveforthegame]

I think the Bucks go with Clark.

Williams to the Bobcats next.

[Blackjack]

If the Spurs do acquire the 18th or any other pick do we hear about it before, shortly after, or somewhere around training camp?

[Spursfan092120]

I almost did it before LJ mentioned it, on the internet that I invented.
:lmao

[Spursfan092120]

Jersey got the better end of the VC deal.

[ace3g]

love me some rachel nichols - yum

+1000001

[EricB]

You go from living on the Italian coast to living in Milwaukee.

Poor guy :lol

[Obstructed_View]

Jersey got the better end of the VC deal.

That's because VC sucks. He only goes off when it's in his interest do do so.

[Blackjack]

I was sure T-Will was going to Charlotte but that trade might not let him slip past N.J..

[Spursfan092120]

Good pick for NJ

[symple19]

timvp is indeed on fire

[EricB]

Terrance Williams it is...

[Spursfan092120]

That's because VC sucks. He only goes off when it's in his interest do do so.
Exactly..that's why I don't understand why all these guys are bashing NJ for this trade...

[EricB]

Is that a leather jacket?

[timvp]

Johnson, Clark or Henderson next to Charlotte.

[loveforthegame]

I love Williams. Good choice for NJ no doubt. Bobcats must be fuming right now.

[loveforthegame]

I'd go for Clark or Henderson if I were Charlotte.

[GSH]

there goes jennings - let the exodus to Europe begin for 18 yr olds


How old is Jeremy Tyler? He's dropping out of high school to go play in Europe. Maybe Stern should make these guys eligible for the D-League, and require them to take classes online. NBA University.

[symple19]

agreed, good pick

[EricB]

God I wish NBATV would provide alternate programming for this and do their own version.....

[TimDunkem]

You go from living on the Italian coast to living in Milwaukee.

Poor guy :lol

Yeah because making millions playing basketball is absolutely unbearable.

[bigdog]

I think Charlotte takes Henderson.....maybe Clark.

[Blackjack]

Johnson, Clark or Henderson next to Charlotte.

Henderson was their second-choice to T-Will, question is if the Carolina boys will indeed select a Dukie?

[timvp]

Indiana is praying that Jrue Holiday is on the board at 13.

[EricB]

damn, Stuart fix your BLEEPING GLASSES

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah because making millions playing basketball is absolutely unbearable.

You've obviously never been to either place.

[Obstructed_View]

Ali would kill Tyson in about three rounds.

[Blackjack]

Mason for T-Will???

[SpursFanFirst]

Indiana is praying that Jrue Holiday is on the board at 13.

Really? I think they'll take the hometown boy.

[EricB]

Yeah because making millions playing basketball is absolutely unbearable.


Living in Milwaukee would be.

It aint all about the money.

[EricB]

Ali would kill Tyson in about three rounds.


HORSESHIT


2 rounds.

[Spursfan092120]

Ali would kill Tyson in about three rounds.
not in Tyson's prime...that would have been a good fight.

[Spursfan092120]

Henderson it is.

[Obstructed_View]

HORSESHIT


2 rounds.

Two rounds is "about three rounds" in the same way that it's not "about seven rounds".

[EricB]

re man ing?

Stuart making up words now?!

[50 cent]

Milwaukee is better than NJ or MIN.

[EricB]

Two rounds is "about three rounds" in the same way that it's not "about seven rounds".

Thats deep.

[EricB]

Gearld Henderson doesn't have far to move his bags.

[timvp]

Holiday gotta go next unless the Pacers have been trying to use a smoke screen.

[TimDunkem]

You've obviously never been to either place.

Who gives a damn when you're a millionaire? :king

[SpursFanFirst]

Milwaukee is better than NJ or MIN.

How so?

[EricB]

Milwaukee is better than NJ or MIN.

Hmm

New Jersey yes.

Minnesota?


Yeah ok.

Minnesota to me is just plain weird.

[Blackjack]

Holiday's next, I'm interested in Phoenix's pick. (Convential wisdom would say Clark, however)

[Obstructed_View]

not in Tyson's prime...that would have been a good fight.

No it really wouldn't. Bonecrusher Smith, Tony Tubbs and Tyrell Biggs aren't the same as Sonny Liston, George Foreman and Joe Frazier.

[EricB]

Who gives a damn when you're a millionaire? :king

No amount of money improves living in Milwaukee.

Get Richard Jefferson off to the side and i bet he says the smae thing.

[50 cent]

How so?
Milwaukee's actually not a bad little town. It kind of reminds me of S.A.

There is a damn nice casino, the Miller Brewing Company, and the Harley Davidson headquarters. It is only 60 miles from Chicago.

Minnesota is fucking cold and New Jersey is a shithole.

[symple19]

Ali is a draft dodging POS -

[Obstructed_View]

Who gives a damn when you're a millionaire? :king

When you start trying to figure out where to drive your Ferrari or build your mansion, you start to realize the things millions can't buy.

[EricB]

Milwaukee's actually not a bad little town. It kind of reminds me of S.A.

There is a damn nice casino, the Miller Brewing Company, and the Harley Davidson headquarters. It is only 60 miles from Chicago.

Milwaukee is just as cold.

Minnesota is fucking cold and New Jersey is a shithole.

Minneapolis is a great town. I lived there for a while.
I also lived in n. minnesota, so nothing can be that cold.

[mudyez]

lol....so milwaukee isnt a bad town becaue its near chicago?

...an NJ is a shithole?....guess there is no big town near it ;)

[Obstructed_View]

Ali is a draft dodging POS -

Without getting too political, the fifty thousand Americans that died for absolutely nothing would probably think about objecting if given a second chance.

[50 cent]

Milwaukee is just as cold.
Wrong. Although it does get pretty fucking cold in Milwaukee.

[symple19]

Wowowowowowowowow!

[50 cent]

Wow....shocker there.

[Mugen]

well worst pick of the lottery.

[urunobili]

WOW :wow

[anakha]

First surprise of the draft.

[ivanfromwestwood]

New Jersey is a shithole. i lived there in 1986-88 and yes it was a the dirty asshole of the united states. hated it.

[Obstructed_View]

Wow. Here we go.

[DPG21920]

Terrible pick!!! Bird is so baddddddddddddddddd

[HarlemHeat37]

Indiana and their white frontcourt players..

[Blackjack]

Indiana and a white boy???

Nooo...

[bigdog]

Hahahahaha

[SpursFanFirst]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The pacers are out of their minds.
Bird has been talking about him a lot lately, but I didn't think it would happen. :bang

[coyotes_geek]

what a horrible pick

[vander]

these teams are all taking their sweet ass time

[SPURSGOAT]

what!? tyler!? hmmmm kinda high...

[mudyez]

great pick by indiana!...I love it

[EricB]

LMFAO

INDIANA YOU FREAKING MORONS!!!


:lmao :lmao :lmao

[timvp]

Wow. Larry Bird with a Jazz-esque pick.

[robert1886]

dannnnggggggg....i lk tyler but didnt think he would go to the pacers....good luck tyler!

[Libri]

Hansbrough

[loveforthegame]

Didn't see that one coming.

[anakha]

Now the fun really starts.

Watching teams start adjusting when the expected draft order starts scrambling is the best part of this event.

[Spursmania]

hahahaha--what a surprise!

[symple19]

surprise pick - did you see the gay Hansbrough secret handshake

[Texas_Ranger]

Indiana just want's to have more white guys than Utah!

[Obstructed_View]

I'm not going to bad-mouth this pick. I was just starting to wonder if someone was going to go against the conventional wisdom.

[SpursFanFirst]

Ugh. Bird has got to go. Seriously.

[Bruno]

Now Pacers can trade Jeff Foster. :stirpot:

[spursbird]

Holiday gotta go next unless the Pacers have been trying to use a smoke screen.
Finally timvp made a mistake...

[coyotes_geek]

come on jvg, don't put hansbrough and duncan in the same sentence

[Libri]

This means that the Blazers will pick Casspi.

[EricB]

:lmao

I still can't believe Indiana took that stiff.

[bigdog]

Larry Bird, you are an idiot.

[timvp]

Hmmm ... no idea what Kerr is going to do with all those trade rumors swirling. Clark made sense but maybe now Holiday or Johnson could fit if Kerr wants to get a bargain.

[EricB]

Adam Keefe 2.0

[Obstructed_View]

come on jvg, don't put hansbrough and duncan in the same sentence

Duncan's body of work since college allows him to be mentioned in the same sentence as Tyler.

[timvp]

Now Pacers can trade Jeff Foster. :stirpot:

Good point :tu

[PBEEZY]

jerry sloan just shed a tear

[D-ROB 50]

This means that the Blazers will pick Casspi.
why?

[EricB]

If I'm Phoenix, I beg Golden State to do that quickly.

WTF would that wait till July 8th?!!?

[Blackjack]

Utah's definitely pissed...

I expect an absolute reach, with a white boy retalliation pick by Utah.;)

[Spursmania]

add talent? Hah... They just gave away all their talent.

[EricB]

Now Pacers can trade Jeff Foster. :stirpot:

Good.

Just not to San Antonio.

[Mugen]

lol mark jackson

"amare as good as it gets at the pf position"

mama there goes that bullshit.

[Spursfan092120]

Did Mark Jackson just say Stoudewhiner is the best it gets at the PF position?

[symple19]

Mark Jackson is decent as an analyst, but horrible as a color guy

[EricB]

Clark it is.

[Spursfan092120]

And Jennings shows up. lol....that was interesting.

[timvp]

Hmmm ... no idea what Kerr is going to do with all those trade rumors swirling. Clark made sense but maybe now Holiday or Johnson could fit if Kerr wants to get a bargain.

Kerr stays with his man.

[Obstructed_View]

I'm waiting now for those four words: "We have a trade".

[Mugen]

haha they just did earl clark dirty.

[EricB]

lol

Brandon Jennings shows up.

[tomtom]

yea wtf was that all about

[Blackjack]

F'n Jennings.

I guess they wanted to avoid a Brady Quinn sitch-E-ation.:lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Jennings won't be in Milwaukee for very long, kid clearly loves the attention..

[anakha]

I'm waiting now for those four words: "We have a trade".

Ditto.

And I'm not liking Jennings's 'I ain't showing up unless I'm a lottery pick' stunt.

[symple19]

This Draft is a mess - Jennings can't even make it to the stage on time - And more boos from Knick fans, hilarious

[EricB]

I'm waiting now for those four words: "We have a trade".

:lol

When Stern stood there for a minute I thought thats what he was gonna announce.

[D-Fens]

That was a fast flight from Rome to NY.

[Obstructed_View]

I don't blame him. Fuckin' ESPN would have milked it and ruined the night for him.

[Libri]

why?

Apparently, the Blazers were high on Hansbrough and Casspi.

[GSH]

Oh hell... go play in Europe, kids. Great experience, great money. I recommend it.

Seriously, NBA University is sounding better all the time.

[D-ROB 50]

we need a damn trade. Fuckin Portland better not get casspi.

[Obstructed_View]

And I'm not liking Jennings's 'I ain't showing up unless I'm a lottery pick' stunt.

More like "I'm not going to let ESPN turn the greatest night of my life into a humiliating reality show".

[EricB]

Brandon Jennings comes off as verrryyyy JR Rider esque.

[timvp]

Mullens has been the one connected to Detroit. Can Dumars stick with him even with more exciting players like Johnson, Blair and Holiday?

[DPG21920]

Apparently the Warriors are talking about an extension before a deal can be done.

[Blackjack]

More like "I'm not going to let ESPN turn the greatest night of my life into a humiliating reality show".


:tu

[Obstructed_View]

Oh hell... go play in Europe, kids. Great experience, great money. I recommend it.

Seriously, NBA University is sounding better all the time.

The death of college basketball couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of money-grubbing hypicritical vampires.

[EricB]

we need a damn trade. Fuckin Portland better not get casspi.


What do you propose, holding a gun to a team's head?

[Blackjack]

Mullens or Daye?

[timvp]

Prince and Daye to form the all anorexic team.
