Markota Traded

[Kori Ellis]

The San Antonio Spurs announced today that they have traded the draft rights of Damir Markota to the Milwaukee Bucks for the better of Milwaukee's two second round picks in the 2007 NBA Draft. Milwaukee currently holds their own second round pick as well as the Houston Rockets second round pick in 2007.

[timvp]

Sounds like a pretty damn good trade to me. Top 15 second round pick in a year that promises to be a rather deep draft.

Markota it was nice knowing you.

:rollin

[50 cent]

Well, that was fun.

:lmao

[Das Texan]

awesome!


markota sucked anyway :lol

[SequSpur]

:lol

Yes!

[blackbucket]

awesome!


markota sucked anyway :lol


:lol :lol :lol

[Leetonidas]

So this draft was fucking useless to us.

[timvp]

I wonder who the Spurs actually wanted. Perhaps Ludden will reveal.

[Spurologist]

Markota is now the worst player on earth

[Leetonidas]

James White or David Noel maybe?

[Pistons < Spurs]

good job.

[ChumpDumper]

Well, that was a nice way to kill an evening.

Did we even try to get Illyasova?

[koopa]

good, at least next year we can draft someone that at least sounds like a good prospect this one sounds like complete garbage

[Holgfx]

wow! I for one did not guess that far man! What or how is the 2nd rounder picks are for Spurs in the 2007? are they higher than say #59? :blah

[timvp]

Spurs draft a 6-foot-11 small forward and then trade him within 20 minutes.

Classic.

[50 cent]

That draft is 4 hours of my life I will never get back.

[Buddy Holly]

Maybe Scola is actually finally coming over as a Spur?

[baseline bum]

So the Spurs traded a completely useless pick for another that should be completely useless... and here I was, hyped for the sequel to Bryan Bracey.

[boutons_]

Damn, I already miss the guy! :lol

Damir, you were a class act, you knew your role and played it well, never caused any problems in the locker room! We wish you all the best! :lol

[Solid D]

:lol

[exstatic]

:lol

Yes!

You're excited because the Spurs will select a foreigner next year instead of this year?

[timvp]

Should have known he wasn't Spurs material when I heard that he had off the court problems. So much for the Euro Balla.

[spurs=bling]

That draft is 4 hours of my life I will never get back.
:lol

[50 cent]

His name was too easy to pronounce and he sounded like too much of a balla to be a Spurs player although he was a shitty FT shooter.

[jman3000]

I never liked him and his receding hair line anyway.

[Kori Ellis]

:lmao

Posting this thread was fun for me for some reason.

There was like 200 people in that other Markota thread :lol

[baseline bum]

I think next year the Spurs will use this pick to move another couple of places up. By 2030 we should be able to parlay this pick into the lottery.

[Bob Lanier]

awesome!


markota sucked anyway :lol
:lol

[T Park]

tells you how suck ass a draft this was.

[T Park]

I really honestly can't believe anyone expected some big name stud from this draft.

This was considered one of the worst in HISTORY!

[SenorSpur]

RC and Pop are actually Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson

[Das Texan]

Should have known he wasn't Spurs material when I heard that he had off the court problems. So much for the Euro Balla.


let that be a lesson learned.

[boutons_]

He was gone before Angel and DamirFan had chance to get warmed up! :lol

[T Park]

Onto free agency and trades.

Wich BTW, doesn't look that exciting.

Javtokas is one, hopefully a good back up is signed, and Nazr is parlayed into that Derrick Mckey type player.

[50 cent]

Imagine being drafted by the Spurs and being all excited that you were going to one of the best teams in the league....


....then, 10 minutes later you are headed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
:lmao

[mattyc]

Well that was fun.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i knew sumshit was brewing, we are stockin up for next years draft, and we might use the 3 2nd round picks we got and move up into the first round and get try steal greg oden

[beirmeistr]

He was gone before Angel and DamirFan had chance to get warmed up! :lol
Damirfan! That's hilarious.

[50 cent]

i knew sumshit was brewing, we are stockin up for next years draft, and we might use the 3 2nd round picks we got and move up into the first round and get try steal greg oden
:lmao :lmao

Maybe if Timmy gets hurt DRob-style and we win the lottery.

[Brutalis]

Noooo he was my fav playerrrr

[beirmeistr]

So they get him to fly all the way to NY only to trade him 20 minutes later?

[TDMVPDPOY]

for first i thought we got ourselves a ak47 who has an offensive game without the defensive shit.

[Dre_7]

Sounds like a pretty damn good trade to me. Top 15 second round pick in a year that promises to be a rather deep draft.

Markota it was nice knowing you.

:rollin

Both the Bucks and Houston will be good teams next year. So I dont know about a top 15 pick in the 2nd round. Unless of course there is an injury. But it will be better than the 2nd to last pick thats for sure.

[Spurologist]

Something tells me that if the bucks drafted him that late, Fran Fraschilla would have dogged Markota for the whole time he had to speak about him

Since it was the spurs, it was nothing but positives

[TDMVPDPOY]

damir makota = next comin of hedo, no thanks

[clubalien]

so if i understand correct we just moved up the draft by this move for next years draft

and ofcourse in next years draft we will trade for a pick the year after that!

[infinite styles]

You mean we couldn't trade him for Noel?

[Old School Chic]

Noooo he was my fav playerrrr


:lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

Both the Bucks and Houston will be good teams next year. So I dont know about a top 15 pick in the 2nd round. Unless of course there is an injury. But it will be better than the 2nd to last pick thats for sure.

i hope the spurs dont waste the 4 picks they got in 2007 draft, we can field nearly half a team :D.

2007 = rebuilding the twin towerz

[TDMVPDPOY]

so if i understand correct we just moved up the draft by this move for next years draft

and ofcourse in next years draft we will trade for a pick the year after that!

use our 3 2nd round picks to move into the first round?

hell i trade all of them if can land greg oden

[Russ]

Markota --

Don't let your the door hit your short arms on the way out.

[NorCal510]

is there a source kori?

[clubalien]

this will never happen but imagine if a team was able to trade picks for futre drafts and ended up with like half the picks for the draft.

I don't see why anyone ahead of time would want our pick since chances we don;t pick their player and they can get him because not drafted. So I guess maybe we have spys finding out what player teams want off draft waivers. That allows us to draft them and trade them for picks!

[rayray2k8]

He was a horrible FT shooter anyway. :lol

[NorCal510]

did they jsut report this on ESPN or seomthing?

[SPARKY]

i hope the spurs dont waste the 4 picks they got in 2007 draft, we can field nearly half a team :D.

2007 = rebuilding the twin towerz

Um, the pick from the Radoslav trade is in the 2009 draft.

They currently have 3 picks in the 2007 draft.

[Kori Ellis]

did they jsut report this on ESPN or seomthing?

What?

[Kori Ellis]

is there a source kori?

Me.

http://www.woai.com/spurs/story.aspx?content_id=AB44CF09-CBC9-414D-B574-A1265A40072A

[SPARKY]

It's on spurs.com for those of you in Oklahoma.

[Buddy Holly]

:drunk

[NorCal510]

how did u find out kori? what were u doing with pop xD

[Buddy Holly]

Damn, when did all these 'tards register for this site?

ABdick and now this guy.

[NorCal510]

you write for spurs.com too? xcuz its the same report exactly

[NorCal510]

nigga please

[Buddy Holly]

nigga please

Great...

[rayray2k8]

If you knew where the source was from, then why did you ask?

[Kori Ellis]

you write for spurs.com too? xcuz its the same report exactly

I write for WOAI.com.

It's just a press release issued from the Spurs. That's why it's the same report exactly. I posted it here as soon as I got the release. That's why it was here before it was on spurs.com.

[manustarting2gd]

Poof... just like that our "Dirk Stopper" is gone.. LOL. JK

[jman3000]

how did u find out kori? what were u doing with pop xD

I'm picturing E-40 doing the xD thing ... so I laughed out loud.

[itzsoweezee]

i knew sumshit was brewing, we are stockin up for next years draft, and we might use the 3 2nd round picks we got and move up into the first round and get try steal greg oden

get real, no one wants three 2nd round draft picks (except the spurs)

[SPARKY]

So the Spurs didn't like what was available and punted. Milwakuee told them who to take so I wouldn't read anything into who was selected and then traded.

Anyways, at least next year they will have their 1st rounder. Maybe.

[SPARKY]

get real, no one wants three 2nd round draft picks (except the spurs)

What 3 2nd rounders?

[timvp]

Anyways, at least next year they will have their 1st rounder. Maybe.

Yeah, unless Holt decides he needs to unload more salary.

:jack

[TDMVPDPOY]

Um, the pick from the Radoslav trade is in the 2009 draft.

They currently have 3 picks in the 2007 draft.

i thought we got 2 2nd round picks out of the damir trade, + spurs first pick and 2nd round pick = 4 picks, unless we still owe knicks a second round pick.

kori does that mean spurs are goin to sign scola since they didnt draft anyone...

[rayray2k8]

What 3 2nd rounders?
2 from the bucks and 1 for them.
Unless they traded their 2nd pick. :oops

[SPARKY]

Yeah, unless Holt decides he needs to unload more salary.

:jack

They could've had their 1st rounder this year to take a stab at a James White. Last year they could've had a David Lee or a Monta Ellis. Oh yeah, and the perfect small ball big in the playoffs.

[SPARKY]

2 from the bucks and 1 for them.
Unless they traded their 2nd pick. :oops

The trade was for the best of the Bucks' 2nd rounders next year. Not for both of them.

[itzsoweezee]

damn, a future second round pick could've gotten Leon Powe.

[ChumpDumper]

And the bitch mantra begins anew.

Good night then.

[TDMVPDPOY]

after what we have seen n heard, the west just got tougher imo, fukn houston got battier out of gay.

[SPARKY]

And the bitch mantra begins anew.

Tell whottt 'sup for me when you hit the sack.

[Dre_7]

after what we have seen n heard, the west just got tougher imo, fukn houston got battier out of gay.

What the hell was Houston thinking? Gay is gonna be a star and they let him go for Battier? Houston is dumb.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

=(

[jman3000]

=(

for some reason, the timing and placement of that smiley made me laugh for quite some time... is it too late?

[Doug Collins]

What the hell was Houston thinking? Gay is gonna be a star and they let him go for Battier? Houston is dumb.

Trade made no sense. Battier has proven he´s nothing but a role player, Gay could actually turn into a t-mac type. They did it just to dump Swift´s contract which is just stupid.

[ytg3721]

i belive there might be some tough trade for spurs
wait.......................

[Bruno]

So we traded the 59th pick in a weak draft (according to experts) for a pick that should be between 40 and 50 in a good draft.
Good deal. :smokin

[King]

Favorite Markota moment?

[polandprzem]

Favorite Markota moment?

Drafted by the spurs !

[BgT]

:lmao

:lol Yes, it is funny. Let's see who got his/her dreams crushed:


w00t w00t. # 52!!!


ESPN gave some pretty good props about him for being the 59th. I'm sure they really respect the Spurs and their late round picks now.


What?
He seems to have everything the Spurs have been looking for.
He's a tall 3 who can shot.


the NBA needs more white superstars


Not bad. I'm sure Pop can straighten out his attitude and teach him how to play a little D.


Markota > Nesterovic + Beno
(:smokin :drunk )

[cecil collins]

I really honestly can't believe anyone expected some big name stud from this draft.

This was considered one of the worst in HISTORY!
By bullshit analysts. "Oh Greg Oden, I have wet dreams about you." Next year will be the worst ever based on expectations, there is no way it can live up to them.

[ALVAREZ6]

We should give up all of our players except: Tim, Tony, Manu, Bruce, Finley, Horry, Bonner
and trade them for draft picks, trying to get every single second round pick in 2007.

[strangeweather]

That's what I get for signing off early last night -- I thought we actually had a guy. :lmao

Oh well -- goodbye Mr. Euro guy I'd never heard of.

[infinite styles]

Anybody got any ideas on what the hell we're going to do now?

[rayray2k8]

Anybody got any ideas on what the hell we're going to do now?
We could get wasted!!! :drunk :lol

Fuck them all as you said. Trade them for the lottery guy 2007.
In playoffs there is an 8-man rotaion so as you said but trade for the top15 guy.

[wildbill2u]

The San Antonio Spurs announced today that they have traded the draft rights of Damir Markota to the Milwaukee Bucks for the better of Milwaukee's two second round picks in the 2007 NBA Draft. Milwaukee currently holds their own second round pick as well as the Houston Rockets second round pick in 2007.

Lousy draft class and 59th pick didn't leave much to choose from. When you don't like what's left on the board, why get stuck with a mandatory pick if you can get rid of it and save the salary.

Most of those guys left out of the draft at the time we picked can be picked up for a song and put on minor league status or short term contracts to see if they work out--without making a big dent in our money situation.

[MoSpur]

What happens if T-MAc has the same back pain and Yao has foot problems again and they win something like 24 games? We get their second round pick?

[Quadzilla99]

I'd give your left nut for Greg Oden.

[greywheel]

Does this mean the Spurs 2006 Draft Day Cap (http://store.nba.com/gp/product/B000GFWDJK/ref=sc_iw_c_15_0_14130781_1/103-1764702-3315016?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=AI034WF8DHTF9&league=core) will be going on sale soon? :lol

[angel_luv]

He was gone before Angel and DamirFan had chance to get warmed up! :lol


Oh well... it isn't like he was Slovenian. :angel

[10-tka]

He could be a decent spur, I watched him a couple of times when he was playing against Olimpija Ljubljana.

[LEONARD]

Good comedy reading the positive replies in the "drafted" thread followed by the negative comments about him in the "traded" thread... :fro

Why waste 4 hrs. :madrun

You should have taped it. Then if you decide it's worth your time you can view it later at your convenience. :lol

[CaptainLate]

RC and Pop are actually Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson

Except the former get along...don't they?

[CaptainLate]

:lmao :lmao

Maybe if Timmy gets hurt DRob-style and we win the lottery.

TD should "retire". Take the year off. Rest his body and then come back with Ogden on the team (or UT's Kevin Durant...who if he were eligible would have gone before Lamarcus Aldridge).

Wasn't it 10 years btwn DRob and TD drafts?

Hasn't it been 10 years again? :elephant
