Official 2009 NBA Draft Day Thread

[Zocalo]

Chase Budinger is also slipping badly.

[EricB]

Jesus. I remember when my dad got a 1990 Honda Accord. I thought it was awesome. :depressed


:lol

Thats hilarious, my parents got that car too at the same time.

That car was the shit then...

[Obstructed_View]

All the players I grew up watching retiring day by day makes me feel old.

I actually had to utter the other day "I remember when I was a kid when he played"

Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett dying on the same day makes me feel old. I lived in the same neighborhood with Farrah when she was married to the six million dollar man. Six million dollars was a lot back then.

[timvp]

If Young doesn't go soon, he may drop a la Derrick Byars.

[tmtcsc]

A frightening reality for all of us born in the 80s...

Born in the 80's ? Good lord, I'm old. -- 1970

[coyotes_geek]

well, we know the lakers pick is going to new york, and you'd think cleveland's keeping theirs, so if the Spurs are getting into the 1st round it's now or never.

[Blackjack]

C'mon Spurs, let's get that 28!

[angelbelow]

lol one more PG!

[Obstructed_View]

Denver doing some work.

[GSH]

Chase Budinger is also slipping badly.

I think the sportswriters liked Budinger a lot more than team FO's.

[loveforthegame]

Chase Budinger is also slipping badly.

Another name I forgot. Spurs should be able to get someone to help now with the 37th and not give anything up.

[vander]

If Young doesn't go soon, he may drop a la Derrick Byars.

who?

[Kobayagi]

What are the odds that we'll have 4 or 5 guys we're nuts for at 37, and the Spurs select a guy none of us have heard of? 60%?


You mean like last year when everyone here went "George Hill??! Who?"

:lol

[EricB]

Please let Dejuan slip a little more...

Please....

[bigdog]

Wolves get Ellington.

[Russ]

The Pitt boys keep dropping.

[Mugen]

damn i liked ellington.

[Spursfan092120]

lol...wow..another guard...going to NY..

[tmtcsc]

:lol

Thats hilarious, my parents got that car too at the same time.

That car was the shit then...

You know what was the shit back in the day ? Trans Am's (Like the one Burt Reynolds drove) and Corvettes. Hell, throw in Starsky's Grand Torino too.

[Obstructed_View]

I don't care what people say, David Stern's cool.

[timvp]

Man. He would have been nice to have on the board for the Spurs.

[benefactor]

Well..there goes Ellington

[robert1886]

wayne ellington...yea thats not for us

[EricB]

Damn, Ellington gone.

[symple19]

surprised henderson was around this long. High-quality

[bigdog]

well, if you think about it, there's still a handful of guys on the board that the Spurs could get.

[Spursfan092120]

With all these guys dropping, the Spurs are going to get someone decent..we just have to be patient...8 more picks. But I thought LA sold their pick to NY...why are they drafting?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Where have I seen this before? Spurs have really shitty draft position and see all the good shit go right before they are about to pick.

[timvp]

who?

Exactly.

[urunobili]

the Spurs have to be picking Jebrenko...

[EricB]

I don't care what people say, David Stern's cool.

Fuckers a pimp.

[benefactor]

Cleveland takes Young at 30.

[urunobili]

Danny Green would be awesome too...

[Spursfan092120]

ooh..I forgot about Danny Green.

[Blackjack]

If it goes the way I think, say goodbye to McClinton and Brown.

[bigdog]

I'd be happy with Young, Blair, Budinger, or Jerebko

[Spursfan092120]

ESPN just spelled Odom wrong..lol

[EricB]

Ellington would've been a great Ginobili replacement.

[Obstructed_View]

Where have I seen this before? Spurs have really shitty draft position and see all the good shit go right before they are about to pick.

I know. There's gonna be five guys they want that all go the five picks before 37.

[Mal]

Shit. Ellington is gone. Someone will pick Young.... Shiiit

[Spursfan092120]

I'd be happy with Young, Blair, Budinger, or Jerebko
or Green

[GSH]

Danny Green would be awesome too...


Bingo!! We have a winner!

[Mugen]

I don't care what people say, David Stern's cool.

too bad hes a laker fan.

[bigdog]

or Green

shit. forgot about him.

[Spursfan092120]

Lakers picking for NY...hmm...

[timvp]

Knicks go with McClinton or Douglas.

[Libri]

Good prospects are still left. :hungry:

[GSH]

Anyone left you would have paid $3M for? I wonder about the Knicks... again.

[symple19]

ready for the biggest BOO of the night?

[Obstructed_View]

too bad hes a laker fan.

If my paycheck was tied to their success, I'd be a laker fan too.

[Mugen]

memphis better not be thinking about trading gasol for that 2011 2nd round draft pick.

[Spursfan092120]

Quentin Richardson for Darko?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

"Why do they call them cash considerations? I mean, what are they considering?"

-T. Tolbert

[coyotes_geek]

lol.....knick fan upset about qrich for darko

[Blackjack]

ellington would've been a great mason replacement.

fify

[benefactor]

It's looking more and more like we will wind up with a decent player at 37. Thank you fellow GM's.

[angelbelow]

darko will help the knicks. q should probably retire

[Obstructed_View]

Anyone left you would have paid $3M for? I wonder about the Knicks... again.

Three million PLUS the contract. D'Antoni must hate Q.

[loveforthegame]

NY with a decent trade. Already have Hill and have another chance with this pick.

[Knoxxx]

A few more stupid picks, and we could get late first round value at #37.

[kobyz]

Knicks take Miles

[Spursfan092120]

I'd love Green, Blair, Young...wow...there's a lot of options..

[coyotes_geek]

one of these years i'm going to go to new york for the draft and be knick fan.

[EricB]

:lol

Darko going to New York.

Damn, he might quit in the middle of the season after thats all said and done.

[urunobili]

we have like 4 players that would be good still left... my order of preference:

Jebrenko
Young
Green
Budinger

[bigdog]

Douglas going to NY

[benefactor]

And Douglas it is...

[timvp]

Good fit.

[benefactor]

Cleveland takes Young at 30.

[Spursfan092120]

YES!! One more down....8 picks to go...Spurs faves are still mostly there, except Casspi.

[EricB]

The knicks select a point guard.

[robert1886]

douglas....guy is a flat out offensive stud he cant shoot lights out!

[Obstructed_View]

How many guys the Spurs really want at this point? Seven picks between now and the Spurs pick.

[bigdog]

Now, hopefully the next few teams don't take the players we want.

[Spursfan092120]

we have like 4 players that would be good still left... my order of preference:

Jebrenko
Young
Green
Budinger
Dude...Blair?

[Knoxxx]

Jermaine Taylor, SG, Central Florida - Possibly the steal of the draft, Taylor has serious first round talent.

[benefactor]

...a lot of mocks had them taking Brown though, so we will see.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

george hill will go down as the greatest pick in the later duncan era

[Blackjack]

It was either McClinton or Douglas for N.Y. I zigged when I should've zagged.:lol

[EricB]

Sam young to the Cavs. Book it.

[angelbelow]

marcus thornton anyone?

[robert1886]

damn i also think cleveland is going to choose sam young

[urunobili]

Dude...Blair?

forgot about him sorry...
but i bet the Spurs will go in a direction we r not expecting

[timvp]

Cleveland gotta go with Blair, Young or Taylor. Maybe Mills to get some speed.

[bigdog]

Ferry's gonna take Young....but I hope he takes a no-name scrub.

[benefactor]

Man this is sweet. The Spurs wish list is pretty big right now.

[Knoxxx]

Jeff Pendergraph, PF, Arizona State - Hidden behind Harden at ASU, he’s possibly the next impressive second round PF.

Also like the 7-1 wingspan and 35 inch verticle on this 6-10 PF.

[bigdog]

I want another SF, but if we could get Pendergraph, that would be good.

[Blackjack]

Brown's the long defender and the local product...

[kobyz]

Cleveland will go with Marcus Thornton

[Dex]

And with the 297th pick, the Spurs select....Dequitxcl Dhreganmophoralitarinilopolous.

[Spursfan092120]

Stuart giving the Cavs the LOB already.

[EricB]

Yeah i forgot Brown the local product. Need someone to keep the Cleveland peeps happy.

[Russ]

lol.....knick fan upset about qrich for darko

Knick fan is dumb then.

[Mugen]

i think they go with taylor.

[Thompson]

Maybe Blair told all the teams he'd sit out a year and sign with the Spurs if anyone else tried to draft him. It could happen.

[Spursfan092120]

And with the 297th pick, the Spurs select....Dequitxcl Dhreganmophoralitarinilopolous.
Isn't he Greek? lol

[symple19]

never saw the bowling w/ shaq before - much better than the Lebron picture BS

[benefactor]

All three of my picks for the Spurs are still out there. Jerebko would be nice too.

[GSH]

Kings and Blazers are both gonna hose us for second round picks. Sac is gonna get 2 of the players we had on our radar.

[angelbelow]

Maybe Blair told all the teams he'd sit out a year and sign with the Spurs if anyone else tried to draft him. It could happen.

:lol

[loveforthegame]

So many guys I like that could be there with the 37th pick but the Spurs will probably go out in left field now.

[symple19]

stuart scott - FAIL

[bigdog]

OMG wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Cleveland.

[urunobili]

Jebrenko
Young
Green
Budinger
Mills
Blair

ALL AVAILABLE STILL

[Spursfan092120]

Eyenga? hmm...

[loveforthegame]

[benefactor]

Wow...Young to the second round. :wow

[timvp]

Wow. That must have been a promised pick.

[angelbelow]

[EricB]

[robert1886]

[DPG21920]

[Spurs#1]

[Gino2882]

Jesus Christ. Get Dejuan Blair. Trade a 2nd and future 2nd.

[Blackjack]

Young, Brown, and Blair into the second round?:wow

[vander]

hooraaaay for the 2 minute time limit!

[Mal]

Who the fuck is Eyenga?

[Dex]

SanAntonioEast with the WTF? pick.

[EricB]

:lol @ stern like

"Hurry the fuck up, I got dinner at Bobby Flay's steak house waiting on me you prick"

[angelbelow]

stuart scott - FAIL

i dont understand how anyone could like listening to stuart scott. i absolutely hate the guy.

[loveforthegame]

I can't believe Blair and Young will be 2nd round picks. Stunning.

[Das Texan]

stern is trying to become a comedian in his older age.

[GSH]

Get ready to scream at the Kings and Blazers... I can feel it coming.

[Libri]

Wtf!!

[benefactor]

I have to say this is an epic fail by Ferry.

[timvp]

It's weird that Stern doesn't turn his neck. To turn around he just spins.

[Spursfan092120]

Damn...LARGE crowd where Eyenga's playin..lol

[EricB]

:lol @ the knicks fans booing Adam Silver.

[Thompson]

Jebrenko
Young
Green
Budinger
Mills
Blair

ALL AVAILABLE STILL

And, coincidentally, there are 6 picks left before our turn.

[spursbird]

Wow. Great hope to pick Young, Blair and Brown.

[EricB]

It's weird that Stern doesn't turn his neck. To turn around he just spins.

Sprained his neck looking at all the money flowing in thanks to the lakers winning.

[angelbelow]

:lol @ stern like

"Hurry the fuck up, I got dinner at Bobby Flay's steak house waiting on me you prick"

:lol

[Blackjack]

Worst draft of all time, huh?

[Spursfan092120]

Bring me Young, Blair, or Green

[urunobili]

Jebrenko
Young
Green
Budinger
Mills
Blair

ALL AVAILABLE STILL

[kobyz]

i never heard about him

[loveforthegame]

Spurs will get someone with the 37th pick for sure.

Young, Blair, Budinger, Brown, Summers, Green, Jerebko are all good options.

[EricB]

I'm shocked Sam Young didn't get drafted in the first round.

Unreal.

[symple19]

Jesus Christ. Get Dejuan Blair. Trade a 2nd and future 2nd.
agreed - but it won't happen - we're all not that lucky

[Spursfan092120]

And, coincidentally, there are 6 picks left before our turn.
:nope:nope

[angelbelow]

And, coincidentally, there are 6 picks left before our turn.

an optimist aren't you?

[ffadicted]

And, coincidentally, there are 6 picks left before our turn.

Fuck that, no jinxing

[benefactor]

This could not have played out any better save us moving up.

[timvp]

Blair, Young, Budinger, Brown, Mills ... still some quality on the board.

[toki9]

It's weird that Stern doesn't turn his neck. To turn around he just spins.

Arthritis?

[rold50]

It's weird that Stern doesn't turn his neck. To turn around he just spins.

:rollin

[robert1886]

spurs will suprise us haha

[bigdog]

Sam Young is a secound rounder....wow....this is insane.

[coyotes_geek]

And, coincidentally, there are 6 picks left before our turn.

:depressed

[EricB]

Come on let it be Dejuan Blair....

[benefactor]

I'm shocked Sam Young didn't get drafted in the first round.

Unreal.
Ferry is a dumbass for not taking him. He could have probably helped immediately.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

It's weird that Stern doesn't turn his neck. To turn around he just spins.

:lmao

[urunobili]

Blair, Young, Budinger, Brown, Mills ... still some quality on the board.

which one you'd take first timvp?

[manufan10]

Damn...LARGE crowd where Eyenga's playin..lol

:lol

[angelbelow]

wtf is this horseshit showing manu so late

[Spurs#1]

It'll be funny when the spurs don't pick who you think they'll pick. I know it was last year.

[manufan10]

Sprained his neck looking at all the money flowing in thanks to the lakers winning.

:depressed

[Thompson]

an optimist aren't you?

Pendergraph, that's seven guys. We'll get someone.

[phxspurfan]

sigh...Chalmers

[angelbelow]

or not at all, fucking bullshit

[GSH]

Trade 51 and some cash to the Wiz, for 32, and keep 37. Get 2 players we like.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

LOL This is setting up so that every pick everyone is naming as quality will be picked right before we pick.

[kobyz]

so now Portland gonna take Blair

[benefactor]

I'd take Blair in a heartbeat.

[Blackjack]

Will the Spurs go for an unexpected talent, or stick to the script?

[angelbelow]

seriously, how can you not mention manu?

[Spursmania]

Blair will go next...

[lurker23]

I remember last year, everyone on here was saying, "All right! Look at all the guys who fell to us!"

Darrell Arthur
Donte Greene
Mario Chalmers
Chris Douglas-Roberts

We'll definitely get one of those!

"And with the 26th pick the Spurs select...George Hill..."

Everyone: "Who?"

[Russ]

Blair, Young, Budinger, Brown, Mills ... still some quality on the board.

They'll all be there and the Spurs will take Nando De Colo. :)

[symple19]

ferry is a dumbass, period

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Spurs should trade for the rights to Demarre carroll.

[Knoxxx]

Just don't let Van Gumby start blabbling again!

[benefactor]

Will the Spurs go for an unexpected talent, or stick to the script?
I think there are a lot of guys out there who could help out soon. No stash or surprises here.

[loveforthegame]

It'll be funny when the spurs don't pick who you think they'll pick. I know it was last year.

I know I wouldn't be surprised but a lot of guys that could help right now should be available when the Spurs pick.

[coyotes_geek]

Bilas with a nice "you're a dumbass" look for Stewart Scott there..........

[Dex]

Shut the fuck UP, ESPN. :smchode:

[Spursfan092120]

Gist reference

[timvp]

It's going to be :lmao when the Spurs draft Gladyr, Brockman or De Colo.

[PuttPutt]

ESPN assholes don't need to show all those players that I wouldn't mind on the SPurs. Don't give the other teams any ideas.

[bigdog]

did anyone take Summers yet?

[Marcus Bryant]

Spurs should trade for the rights to Demarre carroll.

perhaps they have

[benefactor]

I remember last year, everyone on here was saying, "All right! Look at all the guys who fell to us!"

Darrell Arthur
Donte Greene
Mario Chalmers
Chris Douglas-Roberts

We'll definitely get one of those!

"And with the 26th pick the Spurs select...George Hill..."

Everyone: "Who?"
:tu

Well played...

[Bruno]

I remember last year, everyone on here was saying, "All right! Look at all the guys who fell to us!"

Darrell Arthur
Donte Greene
Mario Chalmers
Chris Douglas-Roberts

We'll definitely get one of those!

"And with the 26th pick the Spurs select...George Hill..."

Everyone: "Who?"

Agree.

I'm expected the unexpected from Spurs.

[Libri]

Pendergraph, that's seven guys. We'll get someone.

That's another interesting prospect.

[Spursfan092120]

seriously, how can you not mention manu?
it's the NBA dude...I expected him not to be mentioned...best fucking 2nd rounder in the last quarter century..

[Knoxxx]

I remember last year, everyone on here was saying, "All right! Look at all the guys who fell to us!"

Darrell Arthur
Donte Greene
Mario Chalmers
Chris Douglas-Roberts

We'll definitely get one of those!

"And with the 26th pick the Spurs select...George Hill..."

Everyone: "Who?"

Actually the who? is the 4 guys above Hill, LOL. Maybe that was your point?

[timvp]

which one you'd take first timvp?

I'd take Blair.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Kings picking for Blazers according to RealGM.

[Knoxxx]

Now its 8 mins per pick, (JK)

[Spursfan092120]

can NY shut the fuck up?

[symple19]

good job moron, antagonize the drunken knick fans

[urunobili]

Pendergraph

[Spursfan092120]

Pendergraph is gone.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

fuck!!
there goes pendergraph

[benefactor]

Dammit...there goes Pendergraph.

[loveforthegame]

Wow. Pendergraph is gone.

[coyotes_geek]

Damn. Pendergraph.

[bigdog]

Ah shit, Sac took Pendergraph

[Spursfan092120]

lol Mullens and Beaubois.

[benefactor]

lol mavericks

[symple19]

somebody called that earlier

[GSH]

Kings picking for Blazers according to RealGM.


That means the Blazers hose us twice in a row.

[ffadicted]

It's going to be :lmao when the Spurs draft Gladyr, Brockman or De Colo.

I wouldn't mind De Colo with one of the 50s

[Spursfan092120]

it's ok...Blair, Young, Green....etc...

[Blackjack]

I can't believe there's a best available list: Blair, Young, Brown Summers, and Budinger in the second round.. (There goes Pendegraph)

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Mavs trade 22 for 24, which they later trade for the 25th and end up with exactly the player every radio station here was saying they wanted.

[Mugen]

man the kings are really surrounding beno with a lot of talent!

[Dex]

Old news, do0o0o0o0od.

[benefactor]

Man...the anticipation is killing me.

[Spursfan092120]

somebody called that earlier
because it happened earlier..they just never made it official till now.

[bigdog]

Fuck you, Kevin Pritchard.

[Spursfan092120]

Man...the anticipation is killing me.
ditto...I need a beer...and I hardly ever drink.

[EricB]

Sacramento is having a good draft.

[urunobili]

Jebrenko
Young
Green
Budinger
Mills
Blair
Summers

ALL AVAILABLE STILL

[timvp]

Now Blair is the lone bigman with value left.

And he's not big.

[lurker23]

I'm sure someone has already said this, but...

:lmao at the Mavericks trading to get a French point guard.

[TheProfessor]

Fuck the Kings. Damn't.

[Spursfan092120]

Going to Portland.

[GSH]

I can't believe there's a best available list: Blair, Young, Brown Summers, and Budinger in the second round.. (There goes Pendegraph)

I'm telling you... 51 and cash to the Wiz for the 32 pick, and keep 37. Get two of them.

[Das Texan]

Its so cute how Pritchard's goal in life is to fuck us over.

[DPG21920]

Pen going to Portland

[Blackjack]

Pendegraph to Blazers.

[EricB]

Mavs trade 22 for 24, which they later trade for the 25th and end up with exactly the player every radio station here was saying they wanted.


Get to play the player they wanted less money due to where they drafted him.

Smart.

[nadroj117]

wow... crazy sergio

[urunobili]

Wow... Sergio Rodriguez gone to SacTown... they hate each other with Noce...

[angelbelow]

damn it just move on to the next pick

[Spursfan092120]

Is it just me, or does Chicago's GM look like a cartoon? His face is WAAAYY too long.

[Russ]

Blair must have a loathsome disease.

[timvp]

Whoever the Spurs get I can't wait for the "This is who we wanted!" video with RC :smokin

[benefactor]

I'm sure someone has already said this, but...

:lmao at the Mavericks trading to get a French point guard.
Yeah...you should see the NBA Forum. It's like suicide watch.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

:lol

[Obstructed_View]

The Spurs need to pick the best guy, showcase him while Duncan rests and then move him before the trade deadline.

[TheProfessor]

Now Blair is the lone bigman with value left.

And he's not big.
Ahmad Nivens?

[Knoxxx]

Sacramento is having a good draft.

Yep, Casspi and Pendi, not too shabby.

[Spursmania]

:corn:

[mudyez]

I see us taking mills if he is available

[Libri]

I can't believe there's a best available list: Blair, Young, Brown Summers, and Budinger in the second round.. (There goes Pendegraph)

That's a damn good list.

[Blackjack]

I'm telling you... 51 and cash to the Wiz for the 32 pick, and keep 37. Get two of them.

I'm down.

[loveforthegame]

Makes me wonder why Young is falling like he is.

[Spursfan092120]

Whoever the Spurs get I can't wait for the "This is who we wanted!" video with RC :smokin
only this year it might actually be the guy he wanted..lol

[benefactor]

There goes Taylor

[timvp]

Come on keep dropping.

[PBEEZY]

der goes taylor

[angelbelow]

sweet, next pick

[Blackjack]

That could be the Spurs pick...

[EricB]

Jermaine Taylor to the Wizards.

[bigdog]

hmmm they took Taylor. This is getting good for us.

buttttt......the closer it gets to the Spurs' pick, the more I think we're going to pick someone we've never heard of.
