Official 2010 NBA Draft Day Thread

[Brazil]

whos left ? orton jones

[DBMethos]

Pritchard doesn't draft Adam Morrisons.

Nah, he just drafts Greg Odens over Kevin Durants. :lmao

[benefactor]

First miss by Presti.

[MannyIsGod]

Spurs are about to pick Hobson and shock the world.

[slick'81]

kid looks good

[scottspurs]

Anderson or Alabi to Boston?

[rascal]

Spurs going with a big.

[TheProfessor]

Nah, he just drafts Greg Odens over Kevin Durants. :lmao
:lol Hindsight, but you're right. He drafts solid role players, at the very least.

[DPG21920]

Spurs probably wanted Bledsoe

[slick'81]

one more pick come the fuck on

[angelbelow]

alrite finally lets see who boston takes.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So, NO are obviously going to move Paul now that they have Collison and Bledsoe. Wonder where he will land?

[Das Texan]

isnt that pick the hornets pick now?

[bigdog]

I would not be surprised if Spurs get James or Alabi

[ffadicted]

.... gjaldfdad aaaaah

[spurs1990]

Daniel Orton Avery Bradley, Gani Lawal, Soloman Alabi, Lance Stephenson

[ace3g]

and ryan gomes to Wolves

[crc21209]

Hmmm I thought maybe the Celtics would have gotten Bledsoe. Maybe THEY go with Avery Bradley now..

[Spurs Brazil]

Eric Bledsoe is headed to the Clippers in a trade, league source says

[TheProfessor]

Should be Bradley.

[mando6599]

Daniel Orton anyone? Good shot blocker, but VERY raw.

[ace3g]

Adrian Wojnarowski WojYahooNBA

Eric Bledsoe is headed to the Clippers in a trade, league source says.

[NewJerSpur]

1 pick away now....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs are about to pick Hobson and shock the world.

You mean Hopson?

[ffadicted]

nvm, i'm lost lol

[benefactor]

I really really really really don't want James. Please RC, do the right thing.

[timvp]

Pick a project big, Boston.

Thanks.

[ceperez]

bledsoe for ok?

likely were expecting to steal seraphin.... did not pan out

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Eric Bledsoe is headed to the Clippers in a trade, league source says

From NO? OKC traded the 18/21 to NO.

[crc21209]

Bledsoe headed to the Clippers...

[austN Spur]

6 minutes remaining...please no commercial break

Are we picking a 6'10 redhead stretch 4? :lol

[benefactor]

Pick a project big, Boston.

Thanks.
:tu

[Shastafarian]

From NO? OKC traded the 18/21 to NO.

No that was an incorrect report. OKC retained the 18th.

[EJFischer]

I really really really really don't want James. Please RC, do the right thing.

Quiet you! James will be a Spur and it will be glorious!

[Brazil]

come on...

[Mel_13]

From NO? OKC traded the 18/21 to NO.

That was the initial report. Later report said 21 and 26.

[Booharv]

Please don't pick James Boston.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That makes no sense, people. Aldrich goes to OKC for the 18/21 to NO - they then draft Bledsoe. That means Paul is going somewhere, surely?

[slick'81]

boston could go anywhere with this pick but they could use a long frontcourt player

[scottspurs]

I'll be impressed if yahoo guy predicts the spurs pick

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No that was an incorrect report. OKC retained the 18th.


That was the initial report. Later report said 21 and 26.

Oh, okay, thanks.

[Kindergarten Cop]

Are we picking a 6'20 redhead stretch 4? :lol

I don't think a player at that height would be considered a "stretch 4". :lol:toast

[crc21209]

I knew it...

[slick'81]

c's get avery bradley

[timvp]

Here we go now.

[TheProfessor]

And it's Bradley. No surprises here.

[dbestpro]

ok lets see who we are going to draft and trade away.

[Shastafarian]

Well, Anderson is all theirs if they want him.

[benefactor]

Bit of surprise there with Perkins on the shelf.

[ffadicted]

aaaah, James Anderson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PCIK IT SPURS PICK PU RIJSDPFJD

[austN Spur]

and the spurs pick...............

[HankChinaski]

wow, didn't see them going with a point guard, wonder if they picked for another team.

[Brazil]

bradley

[slick'81]

plenty of talent available at 20

[Thompson]

It would be reassuring if the Spurs confidently rushed out with their pick like they did with DeJuan last year.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

there goes my boy texas bout to be picked back to back james to spurs baby james can play d but cant shoot 3's

[stxspurs]

Damion James

[ElNono]

Wait 30 secs before celebrating... we might have traded the pick

[crc21209]

Alright everyone so who do you want? James? Anderson? Or Elliott Williams?

[benefactor]

Anyone except James.

[angelbelow]

as expected, some reports had celtics targetting bradley. now the moment of truth!

[DPG21920]

Why pick him when you have Rondo and Nate?

[Booharv]

Damion James please

[scottspurs]

James Anderson do it RC AND POP!!!!!!!!

[EJFischer]

COME ON DAMION JAMES!!!

(My 100th post is about Damion James. Never would have guessed that.)

[timvp]

I prefer Williams, Anderson or Crawford.

[DBMethos]

Commercial fail.

[Das Texan]

lets see what RC has up his sleeve.

[Shastafarian]

Let's go to commercial. Hooray

[crc21209]

Fucking commercial break...:td. Fuck you BSPN...

[TheProfessor]

And we go to commercial. Go to hell, ESPN.

[ffadicted]

fuuck, commercial lol

[VBM]

We would get the damn commercial

[angelbelow]

scott "spurs always win but will they win"

[rascal]

They always have a commercial before the spurs pick, every year.

[Mel_13]

Why pick him when you have Rondo and Nate?

Nate's an FA, Boston looking to control costs.

[MannyIsGod]

With the 20th pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, the Spurs select 2014 1st Round pick.

[NewJerSpur]

6 minutes remaining...please no commercial break

:lol

[Shastafarian]

The Spurs had planned to draft 6-10 Serbian Nemanja Bjelica with the 20th pick, but a bad workout hurt his chances wtih them, sources say.

[spurs1990]

"The San Antonio Spurs are up next. They win ALL THE TIME"

Hang on to something, here we go down the rabbit hole... :lmao

[Juanobili]

Here we go :D

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I feel bad for Damion James. I want him to succeed badly and respect him, but I do not want the Spurs to draft him.
Still hope he gets picked in the first round though.

[50 cent]

Here comes the Damir Markota situation where Spurstalk goes crazy thinking how awesome he is only to be traded 5 minutes later and never heard from again.

Fuck you Jon Barry!!!!

[slick'81]

so what does everyone think of this anderson?!?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I will be surprised if it's not Anderson, but then again there isn't a Spurs draft where I haven't been surprised (except when Blair dropped to #37).

[ffadicted]

Jon Barry continues the hate lol

[MannyIsGod]

How long till he's traded?

[DBMethos]

Wow...

[jiggy_55]

Anderson!

[timvp]

Nice. I like the pick.

best shooter in this draft woot

[dbestpro]

Will we keep him?

Another guard?

[SpursTillTheEnd]

is anderson better than james? idk james is a better rebounder

[lefty]

Good pick :tu

[benefactor]

I'm little bit indifferent towards the pick, but hey, it's better than a project big.

[ElNono]

Mason replacement?

[EJFischer]

Damion James: position adjusted win score per 40 of 15.8
James Anderson: position adjusted win score per 40 of 11.7

The choice is clear.

[timtonymanu]

Cant complain.

I like it.

[Slydragon]

Did yall see TPark representing ST?

I said is that Tpark and my gf look at me like I was dumb

[NewJerSpur]

Barry sure does hate the Spurs....really, we need to start over?

[dbestpro]

bye, bye Hairston.

[Libri]

DraftExpress got it right.

[bigdog]

Anderson!!!!

[angelbelow]

welcome james anderson

[DesignatedT]

is anderson better than james? idk james is a better rebounder

Much better. James is garbage. Undersized pf

[lefty]

Exactly what we needed

A good outside shooter, and he can slash too :tu

[austN Spur]

Ok I can live with that

[slick'81]

bye bye hairston lol

[timvp]

Straight up shooter/scorer. Can't really go wrong with that considering what the Spurs need.

[ace3g]

FakeCoachPop

We took James Anderson who's already had a better NBA career than Roger Mason.

[pad300]

Finley returns...

except this time he's a young Finley.

I like the pick

PS seriously, if you compare the stats &size, he looks a lot like a young Finley

[ohmwrecker]

Fuck you, Jon Berry!

[MannyIsGod]

Well if they were targeting him straight out they are probably very confident in getting Splitter.

[Mel_13]

Barry sure does hate the Spurs....really, we need to start over?

He's been saying it for years, eventually he'll be right.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hmmmm, I'm pretty happy with that, and there were no suprises! WTF!?!? Where has CIA Pop gone?

[DrSteffo]

Ok pick and not surprising, big improvement over Mason anyways

[Chieflion]

Great pick! I like this pick for the Spurs.

[benefactor]

Hairston isn't going anywhere...not because of Anderson. Anderson will replace Mason.

[DBMethos]

Be nice to have someone make shots from off the bench for a change...

[024]

pretty good pick.

[spursfan1000]

Great damn pick!

Thunder make me look like a fool for thinking Brackins couldn't go this high.

[ElNono]

Huh ? Why would we want someone else to come in and miss shots ? :lol

:lol

[ffadicted]

Brackins, pilling up the frontcourt

[DBMethos]

LMAO @ FakeCoachPop...harsh but true.

[Booharv]

Anderson is not bad, James is better though. 6'8 rebounds like crazy, can shoot, defend, is tough, and has great athleticism.

[spursfan1000]

Huh ? Why would we want someone else to come in and miss shots ? :lol



:lmao

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Mason replacement?

Exactly. Hopefully a better player than 2009-10 Mason though.

[tdunk21]

great shooter in this draft?he better be

[Libri]

I'm happy with the pick.

[loveforthegame]

I like the pick. I like the comparison to a younger Finley and he's a big upgrade over Mason.

No meltdown this year.

Oh well. At least Futurama is coming back tonight.

[scottspurs]

Spurs got themselves a shooter with a 35 inch vertical

[mattyc]

Good result.

[TDMVPDPOY]

where does that leave us with dleague players who spent time with the spurs roster last season?

[ace3g]

Chad Ford chadfordinsider

Spurs always find a bargain it seems. I think Anderson was a great pick for them. He'll play right away.

[50 cent]

Very pleased with the pick. If the Spurs have been targeting a shooting guard the entire time, then I think it's safe to say they feel pretty damn good about Splitter coming over.

[ElNono]

Exactly. Hopefully a better player than 2009-10 Mason though.

Not very difficult...

[slick'81]

bilas said theres no way he should been there at 20 ill take it lets c what happens

[Mel_13]

Exactly. Hopefully a better player than 2009-10 Mason though.

Not a very high bar to clear.

Good pick

Thunder select Craig Brackins for the Hornets. Another good pick for Hornets. He addresses another need. A big who can stretch the floor.

[Juanobili]

Glad to hear they targeted him all along :D

No meltdown this year.

:lol

[NewJerSpur]

Splitter/Dice

plus filler. Doesn't look too bad.

[blkroadrunners]

Lets hope Popovich wont use him as a backup PF

fify

[duncan228]

No meltdown this year.

:lol The Hill meltdown was great.

[bigdog]

Anderson is a guard, which I didn't want, BUT the Spurs did need shooting and scoring, and he definitely provides that. Excellent shooter and can score. Now, as far as the D-leaguers on the Spurs, I think they'll keep Temple and get rid of Hairston and Gee.

[Brazil]

I like the pick... no melt down :(

lol Givony. "I don't know why Damien James is slipping."

[scottspurs]

lol Givony. "I don't know why Damien James is slipping."

...cause he's overrated.

He doesn't have a position. He can't shoot well enough to play at 3 and he can't survive in the post.

[tdunk21]

lol Portland. Spurs didn't even want him, bitches.

lol

[Gino2882]

I really really like this Spurs pick. Anderson can shoot. He is gonna get minutes at SG/SF right away. Another steal.

[lurker23]

The lack of meltdown is fun. :) :tu While I wanted a 3, I really understand this pick quite a bit. With Mason and possibly Bonner gone, Spurs seriously needed outside shooting, and there's not much on the market at LLE level. So, they get one of the better SG shooters in the draft. Good stuff. :toast
