2006 NBA Draft Official Blog

[Spurologist]

They could have traded down and got him six picks later.

I'm surprised they didn't take Ronnie Brewer.

--Kori

Brewer might be this draft's Josh Howard

[loveforthegame]

Quite a few trades so far.

[timvp]

Minnesota and Blazers to swap 6/7.

[Bob Lanier]

Minnesota and Portland are swapping their fucked up picks? :spin

Sonics take Saer Sene! :elephant

[TheTruth]

What the hell is up with Portland?

[Horry For 3!]

Interesting, Foye is now in Minnesota and Brandon Roy in Portland

[Spurologist]

I might have to change my mind on O'bryant. He seems shell shocked

Stuart - "What's the best thing about your game"

O'Bryant - "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

He will definately need developing but I still like the pick

[dbestpro]

Roy for Foye or Foye for Roy. Its a roy foye.

[Horry For 3!]

LJ was right, Sene to Seattle

[T Park]

Send Biendrins Spurs way.

Good god no.

[TheTruth]

Ehhh?

[Slinkyman]

Sonics select another center...

[ChumpDumper]

Good call, Kori

LJ

whoever....

[spurschick]

holy shit

[TheTruth]

How many project Centers does one team need?

[Spurologist]

SENE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's out to change the league

[timvp]

Seattle takes Sene.

The worked him out 3 times. I knew they'd take him but they wanted to trade down to later to take him.

Look for Petro or Swift to get moved.

[Spurologist]

Good god no.

:lmao

[timvp]

Good call, Kori

LJ

whoever....


It was me, Kori.

[TheTruth]

Trickery???

[T Park]

strategery

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Sene looks nice. A little slow, kind of like a Nazr with hands (so it seems).

[ChumpDumper]

That is one long mofo.

[thispego]

It was me, Kori.
:lmao

[dbestpro]

Seattle

Sene C-
May never see him.

[picnroll]

Have you ever seen Biendrins? Didn't think so.

[JLH Fans]

Minnesota and Blazers to swap 6/7.
Mc Fail U can kiss my ass. Ehhh....please trade KG for nothing to a contender I m really fed up with him totally.

[T Park]

Sene is gonna be a stud.


Dudes got MAD hops. Great shot blocker.

He'll be VERY good for the Sonics.

[dbestpro]

Brewer will be a great pick for Orlando.

[Slinkyman]

Magic have to take brewer

[ChumpDumper]

Mc Fail U can kiss my ass. Ehhh....please trade KG for nothing to a contender I m really fed up with him totally.No shit -- defeat from the jaws of victory.

[timvp]

Sene looks nice. A little slow, kind of like a Nazr with hands (so it seems).

He's actually not slow at all.

I've watched a lot of tape. He looks 10 x better than Mahinmi to me.

--Kori

[T Park]

Have you ever seen Biendrins? Didn't think so

:lol

nah never. :rolleyes

[T Park]

Redick to Orlando.

BOOK IT

[dbestpro]

T wolves are done. Foyle will not get it done like Roy.

[T-Pain]

damn i wonder who the spurs will pick.

[picnroll]

Didn't think so.

[Bob Lanier]

Redick? :lmao :lmao

Morons.

[Spurologist]

Have you ever seen Biendrins? Didn't think so.

He is a rich's man version of Brian Cardinal

[Dre_7]

Reddick went way to high.

[mardigan]

Houston better not trade Gay, they will regret it por vida

[T Park]

your favorite thing is to assume picnroll its amazing.

[dbestpro]

Magic
Reddick C-
Kerr like. Great situational shooter. Problem is they need a great scorer that Brewer could have become.

[T Park]

Redick getting those kickouts from Howard's double teams is gonna love it.

[picnroll]

Your talent evaluation amazes me.

[Bob Lanier]

DeShaun Stevenson > Redick.

[timvp]

:lmao

LJ and I are in bed watching the draft and sharing the laptop. The majority of the posts by "timvp" in this thread have been me.

--Kori

[T Park]

you thinking Beno is a better defender than Tony Parker amazes me.

[ChumpDumper]

Reddick? Might be a good bench player. Otis can't be done at SG though.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

+Jameer
+JJ
+Hedo
+Dwight
+Whoever


Not too bad...I guess.

[SPARKY]

Reddick? What a piece of dogshit. :lol @ Vitale sucking his cock.

Isolated incident? lol What a chump.

[ChumpDumper]

+Jameer
+JJ
+Hedo
+Dwight
+Whoever


Not too bad...I guess.Need more creators.

[spurschick]

Marcus Williams still on the board

[JLH Fans]

T wolves are done. Foyle will not get it done like Roy.
That s what I m talking about.
Gay>Roy>>>Foye.
Mc Hail....no comment I don t want to use very ugly words just now.

[Slinkyman]

NO needed a center, good pick

[Please_dont_ban_me]

I guess we're getting to the "who the bleep is that?" part of the draft.

[SPARKY]

They need to start assigning more teams two cities.

[Dre_7]

Isolated incident? lol What a chump.

Im no Reddick fan, but whats he supposed to say? "Yeah, it will happen over and over."

[T Park]

Brent Barry for Tony Battie? :)

[timvp]

Marcus Williams and Ronnie Brewer must be getting a little disappointed.

--Kori

[dbestpro]

Hornets
Armstrong C
Pick of need. They need size.

[picnroll]

whatever

[ChumpDumper]

Solid pick for the Hornets.

[thispego]

orlando, with good coaching, could be really good next year
they already have a decent team, if jj doesnt work out, no big deal

[JLH Fans]

And now the Phily will take Carney:)

[T Park]

Who did New Orleans pick?

[spurschick]

Marcus Williams and Ronnie Brewer must be getting a little disappointed.

--Kori

But Marcus went #1 in our draft. Sort of. :lol

[Spurologist]

Reddick? What a piece of dogshit. :lol @ Vitale sucking his cock.

Isolated incident? lol What a chump.

your haterade is showing. Portland send their regards to Redick. They know about isolated incidents.

[JLH Fans]

Marcus Williams still on the board
It's very surprising for me IMO he is the best PG in the draft.

[spurschick]

Who did New Orleans pick?

Hilton Armstrong

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Hm

Pedro vs Beckket on ESPN2....or NBA draft....

[ChumpDumper]

Who did New Orleans pick?Hilton Armstrong.

Just go to NBA.com -- the board is self-updating.

[Brutalis]

Ronnie Brewer will be one of the next 2 picks I bet.

[T Park]

Hilton Armstrong.

Just go to NBA.com -- the board is self-updating.


Yeah i just turned my XM on and ESPN Radio is doing it.

Thanks.

[spurschick]

big trade

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Omg

Thabo? Yayyyyyyyyyyy

[Brutalis]

Sonics pick at 10 was pretty fucking classic. So is the 6ers pick.

Amazingly ignant'

[Please_dont_ban_me]

big trade

Snuck up on us.

[dbestpro]

Sefalosha
76ers B
Solid pick. Stud.

[T Park]

Wonder if that "Group of players" are still slipping...

[medic1]

thabo's gone,

there goes our long 3 and trade with chi town

[loveforthegame]

Sefalosha went higher than I thought.

Some talk about a trade on the Mavs board between Dallas and New Orleans. It's a little confusing but sounds like Daniels to NO and Dallas will get Mason and the #15 pick. I say confusing because Stackhouse might be involved too.

[Horry For 3!]

Bulls get Sefolosha through a trade

[timvp]

Bulls get Thabo.

Yet another SF.

How many do they want?

[JLH Fans]

Thabo Sefolosha :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Poor Phily.

[picnroll]

Damn Bulls loading up.

[Slinkyman]

bulls get thabo

[ChumpDumper]

Ladies and gentlemen, your North Atlanta Bulls!

[dbestpro]

Bulls are kicking it. Sefalosha and Thomas.

Grade: B+

[loveforthegame]

Wow. I can't keep track of all these trades. Sefalosha to the Bulls and Philly will get the 16th pick.

[T Park]

Nice trade by the Celtics.

Theo is a good defensive center, something the Celtics have lacked for a LOOONG time.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Sefalosha went higher than I thought.

Some talk about a trade on the Mavs board between Dallas and New Orleans. It's a little confusing but sounds like Daniels to NO and Dallas will get Mason and the #15 pick. I say confusing because Stackhouse might be involved too.

Mason would be a nice pickup.

I don't know why NO would do that though. Mason and there pic for Marquis? Um, k.

[Horry For 3!]

Lots of damn trades

[timvp]

Nocioni, Deng, Tyrus Thomas, Khryapa, Thabo.

Uhhh ... Bulls must be cooking up another trade.

[picnroll]

Dreaming. Thabo picked for the rights to Scola.

[ChumpDumper]

Just have to wait for the blockbuster trade coming up from Chitown.

It really looks like they are gearing up for Garnett.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Spurs trade rights to Scola to.... =/ I kid, blah this draft sucks now.

[spurschick]

Adam Morrison taking questions if anyone has one

http://sports.espn.go.com/nbadraft/verge/draftCast

[JLH Fans]

What was the CHI*PHI trade exaxtly?

[Bob Lanier]

What the hell? Utah drafted a black guy?

[timvp]

Dreaming. Thabo picked for the rights to Scola.

Perhaps he could be part of a future trade with the Spurs. I'm sure the Spurs see the 14 long small forwards that the Bulls have and are praying that Scola would be enough to get one of them.

[medic1]

sweet how pat just dised the commisioner

[dbestpro]

Utah
Brewer B +
Good pick at this spot. With playing time could be R.O.Y. candidate.

[ducks]

Dreaming. Thabo picked for the rights to Scola.



looks like it :elephant :elephant :elephant

[T Park]

WTF Chicago?

I bet this is setting up Deng getting traded.........


Garnett might be on the way out.....

[timvp]

What the hell? Utah drafted a black guy?

Must be a trade in the works.

:smokin

[T-Pain]

looked like stern was pissed at dan for a minute...

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Deng/Nocioni/SOmebody for KG?

[spurschick]

sweet how pat just dised the commisioner

Classic :lol

[rayray2k8]

Wtf is chicago doing taking all these Fowards? :wft
Are they trying to get KG with a mix of all the players they have?
Something's cooking...

[picnroll]

With Garnett and Bulls get Knicks pick next year. If Knicks suck and Bulls get Oden or Noah next year just mail the next few trophys to the Chicago.

[T Park]

The exchange between patrick and Stern was hilarious. :lol

[T-Pain]

The exchange between patrick and Stern was hilarious. :lol
:lol

[Spurologist]

Adam Morrison taking questions if anyone has one

http://sports.espn.go.com/nbadraft/verge/draftCast

How would you cry when you lose your first NBA game?

[Slinkyman]

NO stocking up on big men

[dbestpro]

Hornets
Simmons B-
Good value pick at this spot. Hornets are getting more athletic.

[Ninja-Defense]

Damn, I want Thabo backing up Bruce!

[rayray2k8]

Dreaming. Thabo picked for the rights to Scola.
From the highlights i saw from this kid, that would be fucking sweet.
wait..

'nother trade. :blah

Good god, I dont even know whos going where.
Maybe they should give these kids white hats, with team pins. :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Nice, nice -- if these guys develop, no one is going to be able to get a shot up against the Hornets.

[Slinkyman]

so does Phily draft Marcus williams here?

[Dre_7]

People need to realize that SA aint gonna do anything in this draft.

[Spurologist]

http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/598/cubansbitch6rg.gif

:lmao :lmao

That is just wrong. That must be post playoffs.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Whoa

Who made the "who is he?" comment?

[spurschick]

so does Phily draft Marcus williams here?

I'm sure he's hoping somebody will take him soon. The way things are going, Rajon Rondo will go before he does.

[Spurologist]

People need to realize that SA aint gonna do anything in this draft.

check the sig below


http://www.draftexpress.com/gallery/General/1130548808.jpg

Memo to Spurs:

Kyle Lowry is still available

[mardigan]

I fucking hate Stuart Scott so much. I wish someone would punch him in the head and fix that lazy eye

[dbestpro]

Sounds like Simmons would fit with Dallas. His dad likes to yell at the refs. He could set between ms Avery and blogman.

[Spurologist]

I fucking hate Stuart Scott so much. I wish someone would punch him in the head and fix that lazy eye

Relax. It was an accident. I become used to it.

He's probably the best thing ESPN has going for it.

[Horry For 3!]

Carney goin to Philly

[Dre_7]

check the sig below


http://www.draftexpress.com/gallery/General/1130548808.jpg

Memo to Spurs:

Kyle Lowry is still available

He wont make an imediate impact if the Spurs even get him. And will he even be available when they pick?

[dbestpro]

Carney
76ers B
Great value pick at this spot for Phil.

[Spurologist]

Just checked the score on the NYM vs. Bos game. What happened to Pedro? Ownage???

[mardigan]

Carney is going to be the shit, cant wait to see him and Igoudala have dunk contests during the game

[Spurologist]

He wont make an imediate impact if the Spurs even get him. And will he even be available when they pick?

The Official Spurstalk.com Mock Draft 06 said he will so it must be true.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Carney looks like a nice player.

[Ninja-Defense]

You'd think the ESPN crew would comment on the SF logjam in Chicago by now, with them trading for Thabo's rights...

[dbestpro]

This is a really poor class for point guards. Any pg pick in the first round is a wasted pick.

[mardigan]

He wont make an imediate impact if the Spurs even get him. And will he even be available when they pick?

No way he will be the second to last pick in the draft. I hope PJ Tucker slips, he would be great

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Just checked the score on the NYM vs. Bos game. What happened to Pedro? Ownage???

:D


Yep. He got raped.

[Horry For 3!]

Marcus Williams still on the board

[timvp]

He wont make an imediate impact if the Spurs even get him. And will he even be available when they pick?

Yeah it's a joke.

--Kori

[ChumpDumper]

athleticism + size + upside > mediocre point skills

[timvp]

Marcus Williams still on the board

He's dropping I guess because he got fat.

--Kori

[Dre_7]

No way he will be the second to last pick in the draft.

Exactly. People need to realize that SA aint gonna do anything in this draft.

[mardigan]

Are Gibson or Tucket even going to be drafted?

[mardigan]

I meant Tucker

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ehhh this is so lame, we still have to wait like 2 more hours until the spurs make their first pick

and something tells me no trades are going to be involved..

[Spurologist]

He's dropping I guess because he got fat.

--Kori

it's also because he stole computers.

[timvp]

it's also because he stole computers.

Yeah but I think fat weighs a bigger factor.

[ChumpDumper]

ehhh this is so lame, we still have to wait like 2 more hours until the spurs make their first pick

and something tells me no trades are going to be involved..Not so bold prediction: we're moving up in the second round.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Thabo Sefolosha 6-6 215 SF Switzerland going to Bulls



so can we dead the talks of Scola to the Bulls?

[Slinkyman]

wow, good pick for indy

[Spurologist]

Get your own material Dan Patrick. Everyone now steals from ST.

Sad. We are big people. ST is GOLD

[Horry For 3!]

http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/9031/alridge9pd.jpg

[Ninja-Defense]

Isn't Shawne Williams basically Danny Granger revisited? IND probably could've used a PG with Tinsley always getting injured.

[dbestpro]

Williams Shawn
Pacers D+
Bender is not offcially replaced.

[Horry For 3!]

wow, good pick for indy
You serious? :lol

[Spurologist]

Yeah but I think fat weighs a bigger factor.

that explains why Portland passed on him. It must be the weight issue

[Horry For 3!]

Isn't Shawne Williams basically Danny Granger revisited? IND probably could've used a PG with Tinsley always getting injured.
Yup. I was thinkin Marcus Williams and not Shawne Williams

[loveforthegame]

ehhh this is so lame, we still have to wait like 2 more hours until the spurs make their first pick

and something tells me no trades are going to be involved..

I know. I've talked to myself all day about not getting my hopes up about them making a move but I'm still hoping some.

[ALVAREZ6]

Thabo Sefolosha 6-6 215 SF Switzerland going to Bulls



so can we dead the talks of Scola to the Bulls?
Really???

The Sixers drafted him didn't they?

The Bulls drafted Lamarcus Aldridge

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Random thought...

Didn't Indiana waive Bender recently? Is he a guy the Spurs could look at for Jeffries type money?

[ChumpDumper]

Shawne will be fine if he grows up.

[ChumpDumper]

Random thought...

DIdn't Indian waive Bender recently? Is he a guy the Spurs could look at for Jeffries type money?Bender's knees are a fine powder. He'll never play again.

[Slinkyman]

Random thought...

Didn't Indiana waive Bender recently? Is he a guy the Spurs could look at for Jeffries type money?

Bender retired, he couldn't stay healthy

[ducks]

Random thought...

Didn't Indiana waive Bender recently? Is he a guy the Spurs could look at for Jeffries type money?

his knee is shot no thank you

[Bob Lanier]

Didn't Indiana waive Bender recently? Is he a guy the Spurs could look at for Jeffries type money?
Bender retired because his knees are completely shot.

PLEASE don't show Larry Bird's face.

[spurschick]

Really???

The Sixers drafted him didn't they?

The Bulls drafted Lamarcus Aldridge

Trades

[timvp]

Really???

The Sixers drafted him didn't they?

The Bulls drafted Lamarcus Aldridge

The Sixers drafted Thabo #13 and traded him to the Bulls for their #16 pick, Rodney Carney.

The Bulls drafted LaMarcus #2 and traded him to the Blazers for #4 Tyrus Thomas.

[dbestpro]

Percherov
Wash B
Solid pick. Can play over seas if needed.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

how did bender's knees get so fucked up isn't he still young as hell

[picnroll]

Pecherov was torn up by Mahinmi in the highlight film.

[medic1]

We can still trade scola's rights for the cavs 20 something pic. what do you think??

[ChumpDumper]

Percherov
Wash B
Solid pick. Can play over seas if needed.One guy we might be able to trade the rights to Scola for.

Not that it would help us right now.

[Bob Lanier]

Bird looks positively handsome from this angle. :lol

Spike Lee looks like he's completely ready to tear off his Knicks hat and walk out in disgust.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

We can still trade scola's rights for the cavs 20 something pic. what do you think??

No.


I wouldn't trade Scola for anything other than a young player who is already in the league or a top 15 type pick. None of these players left are worth giving up Scola for.

[ducks]

scola is worth nothing with that hige buyout

[mardigan]

Benders 25 years old, played 271 games in 7 years, earned him 29.5 mil

[dbestpro]

Kings
Douby A
Great shooter. Him and Martin will light it up.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

people who defend scola forget the fact that he is of virtually no use to our team

[Please_dont_ban_me]

scola is worth nothing with that hige buyout

What's his buyout next year?

I think his value is a little more than you give him credit for.

[spvrs]

What's the rule on how fast you have to announce the trade?

could the spurs have traded for one of Chic. SF's?

[dbestpro]

The best Spur pick is no pick.

[mardigan]

What's his buyout next year?

I think his value is a little more than you give him credit for.
I read it was like 4 mil for next year, worth something to someone Im sure

[timvp]

What's his buyout next year?

I think his value is a little more than you give him credit for.

His buyout is reportedly down to 3-4M.

[ChumpDumper]

What's the rule on how fast you have to announce the trade?

could the spurs have traded for one of Chic. SF's?Doesn't have to happen tonight.

[Mr. Body]

HAHAHAAHA Isiah Thomas boos

I walked by MSG a couple hours ago. THere was a small parade of people chanting "FUCK DOLAN" and with signs saying Isiah should be fired.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Wow.

Look at this whigger.

[Spurologist]

people who defend scola forget the fact that he is of virtually no use to our team

Yeah let's save the facts for CBF

[Mr. Body]

I'm surprised that Knicks fan didn't drop some F-bombs.

[Bob Lanier]

Oh, this is good.

[Spurologist]

that NY fan might be 50 times as smart as Isiah Thomas

[T Park]

you wouldve heard by now if the Spurs had traded for one of the picks.

[Mr. Body]

Wasn't a whigger, don't think. Looked Latino. Dominican, I think.

[spurschick]

Maybe they'll take Marcus. Or Jordan Farmer.

[medic1]

Wow.

Look at this whigger.
:lol :lol :lol

You took the words out of my mouth

[mardigan]

I know tucker is undersized for a forward, but if he transitioned to some kind of a guard, with his rebounding defense and toughness, he could be a great player, like the 59th pick

[Cant_Be_Faded]

lamest draft ever

[T-Pain]

:lol :lol :lol

You took the words out of my mouth
:lol :lol

he says they dont need Steve Francis :lol

[Mr. Body]

Knicks fans - awesome.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

lmao

Stern you prick, stop fucking with peoples emotions. "we have a trade"

[Bob Lanier]

:lmao

Just for this moment, I love David Stern.

[mardigan]

This is fucking hilarious with these knick fans thinking this pick will really help them

[Bob Lanier]

MSG is about to be burned down. :lmao :lmao

Actually, I think this is a pretty good choice.

[Mr. Body]

OMYGOD. What an awful pick.

[T Park]

:lmao @ typical Knicks morons......

[Spurologist]

WTF?? Dude is very active but he's a popeye jones

[mardigan]

Who??????

[dbestpro]

NY
Balkman F
Should have traded or done something.

[thispego]

LOLOLOLOL, reynaldo

[timvp]

Hahaha at the Knicks pick.

They could have gotten him late in Round 2.

--Kori

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Renaldo Beakman.

Got damn, I'm no prize, but that nose looks like it ran into a brick wall.

[Spurologist]

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

Someone wake my up when the Knicks don't fuck up

[Mr. Body]

Why Don't You Pick Marcus Williams There???

[medic1]

balkman middle 2nd round pick---STUPID THOMAS

[T-Pain]

knicks are done

[loveforthegame]

WTF!! That's Isiah for you.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Looks like a more athletic Brian Grant.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Man, Isiah wants to go down hard, doesn't he?

[T Park]

Did the Knicks really just take Blankman?

[Das Texan]

i didnt think it was possible for the knicks to get dumber.


i was wrong.

[dbestpro]

Trevor Aziz was better.

[Mr. Body]

Weird. Isiah actually drafts well. Usually.

[ChumpDumper]

Man, Zeke has the biggest balls in NBA front office history.

[spurschick]

Renaldo Balkman Rank: 22
Position: Small Forward
School: South Carolina
Conference: Southeastern
Height, Weight: 6'8, 208
Selected by: New York Knicks
Round 1, pick 20 (20 overall)

ANALYSIS: Not overly tall or big, Balkman moved around the court at June's Pre-Draft Camp with an ease and speed that was astonishing. He was in the middle of every big play, snatching rebounds from bigger players, dribbling upcourt like a guard leading the fast break and arriving on the scene of every loose ball first and controlling it. Both players and camp coaches (who are mostly former NBA players) were shaking their heads at the ubiquitous Balkman. Balkman consistently makes plays, including those on the offensive end when no play is called for him. His high-energy, game-altering play was one of the most surprising developments in this year's camp.

[mardigan]

Should have taken Williams, traded Marbury

[picnroll]

We learned long ago it's always possible for the Knicks to get dumber.

[mardigan]

Spike Lee should run the Knicks, at least they would have cool commercials

[dbestpro]

Balkman is not just a sleeper he's a rip van winkle.

[strangeweather]

knicks are done
And here I thought there were going to be contenders.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

I like the knicks pick, I like there roster...I like Isiah coaching that team next year.

:D Call me retarded, but we'll see next year. I think Isiah can get them around .500

[dbestpro]

Celtics
Rondo C -
Celtics really do not need this guy.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I like the knicks pick, I like there roster...I like Isiah coaching that team next year.

:D Call me retarded, but we'll see next year. I think Isiah can get them around .500

You mean $500M payroll, right?

[mardigan]

I like the knicks pick, I like there roster...I like Isiah coaching that team next year.

:D Call me retarded, but we'll see next year. I think Isiah can get them around .500

They would have to win like 20 more games to get to .500. No way

[Pistons < Spurs]

Well looks like Jersey should get M Williams and have a backup for Kidd.

[loveforthegame]

Rondo to the Celtics? Didn't they just get Telfair?

Not sure what the Suns are doing. Yeah, they get rid of Grant but he's in the last year of his contract. I guess they're content with whoever they snag at #27.

[timvp]

Marcus Williams should be mad that Rondo went before him. :lol

--Kori

[medic1]

I like the knicks pick, I like there roster...I like Isiah coaching that team next year.

:D Call me retarded, but we'll see next year. I think Isiah can get them around .500
Its not that blakman is a bad player actually he really impressed me alot. but he could have been had about 15-20 picks later

[Ninja-Defense]

NJ Nets picking Marcus Williams you think?

[Please_dont_ban_me]

You mean $500M payroll, right?

They're in salary cap hell, but if you look at there roster top to bottom I think Isiah will do a much better job than Larry Brown did. Isiah is better with the young thug type mentality, he can work with those types of players.

[T Park]

:lol @ Bilas's analysis.


Phoneix gonna luck out with Williams dropping to them.

They have to be shocked.

[dbestpro]

Nets will take Marcus.

[Spurologist]

I like the knicks pick, I like there roster...I like Isiah coaching that team next year.

:D Call me retarded, but we'll see next year. I think Isiah can get them around .500

no shit. They can't play any worse with that talent. or can they?

So, at this rate, maybe the Spurs will draft Marcus Williams.

Marcus Williams should be mad that Rondo went before him. :lol

--Kori

Williams games against Boston/Phoenix are going to be good.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

They would have to win like 20 more games to get to .500. No way

I think so.

They'll have there team going into training camp, they'll have a new face at coach who they don't despise...I see them turning it around. Reaching .500 isn't too much to expect.

spurs will pick someone none of us have ever heard of i saidd

Its not that blakman is a bad player actually he really impressed me alot. but he could have been had about 15-20 picks later

I really don't like that mentality...the "he might have been available later" thought process. If he's available and he's what you want, take him. If you have to pay a little bit more just to make sure you get him, then so be it.
