That one twin brother who's name for some reason is escaping me.

[loveforthegame]

That one twin brother who's name for some reason is escaping me.

[misterx91578]

collins. they're both equally shitty although one has a slightly better haircut.

Jason I think

[Juanobili]

Things are looking gooood

[loveforthegame]

Holy crap what's going on here?

[td4mvp21]

If we don't pick CDR or Chalmers I am going to be so pissed. . .

[koopa]

looks like we are getting chalmers......... not sure if i like that....... some reason i think pop will ruin him, he'll turn the ball over once and then be sent to austin the rest of his rookie contract

[thekingrobert]

a WOW pick for seatle simply WOW

[Spurs Brazil]

Sonics pick Ibaka

Spurs have great options

[T-Pain]

[T-Pain]

If we don't pick CDR or Chalmers I am going to be so pissed. . .

[misterx91578]

Serge Ibaka

[Das Texan]

maybe we can trade 26 to portland for 33 and 36.


that would be hot.

[AA2120]

CDR, Batum, Green, Chalmers, Jordan..
I dont give a shit..just pick one of these guys!!!!!!

or arthur!

[MannyIsGod]

Or Arthur. I think they may have to take Arthur.

[T-Pain]

i predict nicolas batum, hes french and the coaches will think he will be a great complement to tony

[lefty]

:sleep

[spurs1990]

Hopefully Rockets go overseas.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

What are the chances of the Spurs picking Arthur? How well does he fit their needs?

[Manuismyhomeboy]

Green, a 6-10 small forward that can shoot the three, have to go with green

[angelbelow]

god i hope teh blazers 27th pick will be traded to us..

[td4mvp21]

Arthur would be ok too.

[spurs1990]

ok when was the last time we picked an American in the 1st round...anyone off the top of your head?

[mowgli]

"How do you improve your experience?" :lol

I love SVG!

[Spurtacus]

Who's Houston going to pick? Arthur? Green?

[thekingrobert]

im all for green and buy some damn picks

[Manuismyhomeboy]

John Salmons and then traded him

[yavozerb]

green going to houston

[jag]

Or Arthur. I think they may have to take Arthur.

Now THAT guy is having a Brady Quinn type of a night...kinda feel bad for him.

[Slinkyman]

CDR goes to houston

[Manuismyhomeboy]

We need to get some more picks there are so many guys that can help us available right now.

[loveforthegame]

I've been calling for Chalmers if he were available but with Green still available you have to take him.

[spurs1990]

Darrell Arthur is a Texan fwiw.

[Manuismyhomeboy]

Jordan goes to Houston, they need back ups with how fragile Yao is

[AA2120]

moar picks!

[Solid D]

If the Spurs did send an email out to all the teams, then I'm sure they are getting all sorts of offers now. :lol

[angelbelow]

can you name the jazz back up center without looking?

sure jarron collins.

[Slinkyman]

aren't the C's trying to get rid of their pick? might be an option for the spurs.

[T-Pain]

[SpurAddict561]

[angelbelow]

wow........

[Slinkyman]

cock blocked

[Spurs Brazil]

Batum is gone

Fuck the Rockets

[Spurtacus]

Well...looks like we don't have to worry about stashing a guy away for a year or two...

[td4mvp21]

Oh my God...we better fucking pick CDR or Chalmers now. WE BETTER FUCKING DO IT.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs probably trade the pick not that Batum is off the board.

[Das Texan]

[AA2120]

[Steve-O-Matic]

Chalmers - done deal. :-)

[Manuismyhomeboy]

Green, Green, Green, Green, Green!!!!!! I think they stole our pick though, we wanted Batum

[Juanobili]

I'm scared ;~;

[kobe_bryant]

kidney issue?

[mowgli]

I'm sorta glad Batum is gone. I was afraid the temptation to draft-and-stash would be too much.

[Kindergarten Cop]

Still available :
Darrell Arthur
Mario Chalmers
Kosta Koufos
DeAndre Jordan
Donté Greene
Chris Douglas-Roberts

Koufos went to Utah

[024]

spurs can pick either greene or CDR. both would be great.

[Sigz]

I knew that would fucking happen. Shit.

[Slinkyman]

[AA2120]

CDR or Green..

[T-Pain]

i think were going domestic

[angelbelow]

Fuck

[Das Texan]

Pop probably smiled that his CIA over Batum worked.

[George Gervin's Afro]

[jag]

Still available :
Darrell Arthur
Mario Chalmers
Kosta Koufos
DeAndre Jordan
Donté Greene
Chris Douglas-Roberts

Koufos is not available

[Juanobili]

you got greene, arthur, CDR, Chalmers. Spurs you better go american!

either one of those picks


CMON SPURS!!1!!

[SlovenianGuy]

Spurs will pick Ante Tomic or Damjan Rudež.

[loveforthegame]

That kidney issue was sure undercover for Arthur. No teams wanted to do the blood work though?

[spursreport]

Thank you Houston. Im sick of these foreign players being drafted and stashed and then never coming over here!!

[200 miles]

its yours for the taking, pop

GET CHALMERS!!!

[Sigz]

It'll be Jordan.

[MoSpur]

Get Chalmers and hope you get Green in the 2nd

[Slinkyman]

[Bruno]

I wouldn't be surprised to see a Spurs rockets trade soon

[kobe_bryant]

they don't even talk about spurs LOL

[thekingrobert]

oh the suspense is too much

[AA2120]

Spurs will pick Ante Tomic or Damjan Rudež.

shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up

[yavozerb]

they don't even talk about spurs LOL

LOL

[Manuismyhomeboy]

Chalmers or Green, i think we can find a PG in free agency, but I think Green is a guy that can come in and be a replacement for Bowen. We have to get the young wing.

[AA2120]

oh shit!!!!!!

[Spurtacus]

I have a feeling we're about to be disappointed...

[spurs1990]

Donte Greene!!!!!!!

[Juanobili]

Oh God, here we go

[WildcardManu]

[koopa]

[tlongII]

GEORGE HILL??? :lmao

[Pistons < Spurs]

Wtf.

[td4mvp21]

You have got to be kidding me. Fuck the front office :pctoss

[Spurtacus]

Who the fuck!?

[VaSpursFan]

who is george hill????

[DazedAndConfused]

George Hill was a player the LAKERS wanted. They were extremely interested in this kid and considering trading to get a 2nd round pick for him.

[Spurs Brazil]

George Hill over Chalmers WTF!!!!!!!!!!

[GSH]

no no no no no fuck no

[Mister Sinister]

Are you FUCKING kidding me?!

[MoSpur]

Lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This is the beginning of the end

[MannyIsGod]

:lol @ all the wtfs

[WildcardManu]

[Juanobili]

This just ruined my fucking..... MONTH



GODDAMNIT!!!!11!!1!!1

[George Gervin's Afro]

[kcplayboi26]

george hill? ok i dont feel so bad about robin lopez now

[spursreport]

:rolleyes:rolleyes

Seriously this piece of shit?

[angelbelow]

omg..

[DazedAndConfused]

Maybe the Spurs did this to make sure LA wouldn't get him.

[MoSpur]

6''9 wing span

[jag]

Who gives a damn about 3% body fat....Arthur, CDR, Chalmers....


ugh

[tlongII]

I'm sure Marcus Bryant approves of this pick! :lol

[td4mvp21]

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with them?

[GSH]

well they fucking fooled everybody with that one

[200 miles]

Damn You Rc!!!!!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm gonna bump this thread when he wins ROY

[mowgli]

Umm...what just happened? I blacked out.

[lefty]

http://osasto2.ninjatalo.com/wtf1.JPG

[Radiosparks]

fuck this im out!

Hahahahhahaaaa!!! :lmao

Who knows he might work out. :toast

[Slinkyman]

the fucking spurs saw IUPUI and thought it was a fucking euro team

[td4mvp21]

Maybe the Spurs did this to make sure LA wouldn't get him.

Then that's a pathetic, cheap move when you have CDR and Chalmers available.

[Kriz-Maxima]

who?

[AA2120]

i swear..if we dont get another pick soon..im breaking the fucking window!!

[MoSpur]

I picked Hill to be a steal in the 2nd RD

[O-Factor]

Fuck was that Pop!?

[DazedAndConfused]

Or maybe the Lakers bought the Spurs pick? Did the Spurs draft for LAL? Would they ever do something like that?

[Critter]

Maybe the Spurs did this to make sure LA wouldn't get him.

most likely
oh well
have fun with GEORGE HILL LOL

[Thompson]

WHAT?! We couldn't have picked him with the 45th?! Why him over Chalmers?! I've never even heard of this guy. Please tell me we didn't just pull another Marcus Williams when so many good players were available.

[xtremesteven33]

i feel good about this pick.....athletic,scorer,and can play defense....perfect backup PG....Good find spurs!!

[Juanobili]

lol I'm so fucking disappointed


ugh

[024]

george hill over CDR, chalmers, and greene... you got to be kidding me.

[rascal]

Couldn't they get this guy in the 2nd round?

[GSH]

I'm gonna bump this thread when he wins ROY

If he wins ROY, I'll kiss your ass in public.

What the fuck?

[djohn14]

He's not a bad pick...but man there was still some quality players left on the board.

[DazedAndConfused]

I think LAL may have bought the Spurs pick.........though I don't know if it's plausible that the Spurs would help out a rival like this.

[Sway]

Am I dreaming? Im trying to wake myself but it isnt happening.

[T-Pain]

the fucking spurs saw IUPUI and thought it was a fucking euro team

lmao

[lefty]

Again...........

http://osasto2.ninjatalo.com/wtf1.JPG

[jag]

Maybe the Spurs did this to make sure LA wouldn't get him.

You think they give a damn about the lakers right now?? stfu

[kingsfan]

Now you know how I feel. :toast

[George Gervin's Afro]

sorry just woke up.. terrible dream, we picked some dude named george hill. he's Affredrick 'The Great' Hughes nephew.

[hsxvvd]

Draft Projection: Second round to undrafted

[angelbelow]

god damn... wtf is this.

[yavozerb]

I think the spurs are drafting for austin toros

[Bruno]

Spurs left some big names on the board.
Will they keep Hill or trade him ?

[koopa]

wow, i fucking hate rc and his white teeth, i hope they run out of his whitener and can't go out in public no more..........

[SpurAddict561]

wow...anybody ever heard of this guy?
I mean, we all probably thought the same when we drafted Manu & Tony, so we can't be too mad...lol

[Spurtacus]

I'm still in shock...

[Amarelooms]

The Mavs 51st pick will be better than the Spurs 1st round pick...trust me :elephant

[bthewigwam]

I think it's alright too. Probably a great defender, looks like he fills up the box, and pretty good 3pt FG%

[lefty]

[Don Quixote]

Hmmm ...

1.2:1 ast:TO ratio.

[Sigz]

Trade his pathetic ass. Fuck.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Even if they keep it, I like it.

[jag]

All it took was cash considerations for the Blazers to get the 27th pick.

[Spurs Brazil]

From Ford's


25 Nicolas Batum HOU Pick doesn't add up. Trade may be looming

http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/nbadraft/draftCast/index

[Juanobili]

The Spurs are going to be so fucking shitty for a while after Timmy is gone

[lefty]

http://www.vaq34.com/vaq34/wtf-cat.jpg

[Sway]

George Hill is a good pick...with the 45 pick, not the freaking 26!

[AA2120]

im so pissed...this fuckin blows!

[stxspurs]

this is bullshit

[O-Factor]

I think the spurs are drafting for austin toros

Im beside myself.........fucking incredible.

[Don Quixote]

I think they reached a bit with this Hank Hill guy.

a second-rounder at most.

[lefty]

http://torontofc.theoffside.com/files/2008/04/wtf.jpg

[Avitus1]

I dont know what to think or say.

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

HOW THE FUCK do you leave CDR and Chalmers on the board? If they dont get another fucking pick to get one of those guys I'm driving to SA and putting a fucking hole in RC's head. I almost broke my fucking TV when I heard the pick. HORRIBLE pick.

[MoSpur]

I knew the board would react like this. LOL

[O-Factor]

ESPN has nothing to say about George Hill. I wonder why? :bang

[angelbelow]

dude we had some potential immediate impact players left.. chalmers, cdr, arthur..

[Borosai]

Who know how he'll pan out, but I'm disappointed right now. I'm sure he would've been there in the 2nd round. I was hoping for CDR at that point.

[spurs1990]

id laugh if Boston landed CDR or Chalmers :lol

[AA2120]

boo

[O-Factor]

Arthur to NO.....great

[0201rinckwater]

He must have had an awesome workout

[Avitus1]

Someone gave him the wrong envelope!

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I love draft day. :)

[lefty]

Arthur to NO.....great

Feeding the division rivals

Again

[MoSpur]

Portland is awesome

[rascal]

Hes going to Portland good pick at this point

[loveforthegame]

Arthur is going to Portland as they bought the pick from NO.

[spursreport]

Why didnt they buy portlands pick? Fucking idiots. :rolleyes

Again you dumbasses draft this piece of shit called George Hill.

[Tippecanoe]

dang, blazers are going to kick ass someday

[kcplayboi26]

get out there and kill this season arthur, F tha haters including suns. KU

[Spurs Brazil]

Ford: 26 George Hill SA A bit of a tweener. Chalmers a better choice.

[AA2120]

when the fuck is our next pick...i already started with the heavy drinking

[Das Texan]

um this pick is for portland.

[jag]

From Ford's


25 Nicolas Batum HOU Pick doesn't add up. Trade may be looming

http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/nbadraft/draftCast/index

They owe us for Scola...

[024]

i thought the spurs would have picked at least CDR or greene and then pick a backup point guard in the second round.

[kobe_bryant]

boston adds a backup guard for allen???

[MoSpur]

Lefty is cracking me up

[dknights411]

The Spurs are more concentrated with the free agent market. Either that, or there's gonna be a trade soon.

[spurs1990]

Check out his school's web page showing some love.

http://www.iupui.edu/

[N.Y. Johnny]

HOW THE FUCK do you leave CDR and Chalmers on the board? If they dont get another fucking pick to get one of those guys I'm driving to SA and putting a fucking hole in RC's head. I almost broke my fucking TV when I heard the pick. HORRIBLE pick.

They probably have no intention of ever signing anyone tonight, the guy is probably trade fodder for someone. :bang

[Tippecanoe]

DeAndre Jordan still not picked. Maybe he'll fall another couple spots. Maybe.

[JonNOKC]

Highest I saw Hill going in any mock draft was 39th...great chance of getting this guy at 45 or trade up (since we had 2 2nd rounders) and get him in 37 to 40 range....makes zero sense

[Bruno]

From Ford's


25 Nicolas Batum HOU Pick doesn't add up. Trade may be looming

http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/nbadraft/draftCast/index

It's possible that Houston have picked Batum only to trade him to Spurs. Hill could have been drafted for Houston...

[mowgli]

Does a retard run the Spurs' off-season?

It's the only explanation.

[Juanobili]

I fucking hate you Houston

[King]

I think the funniest part of this pick is that probably about 90% of you guys don't know anything about any of these prospects other than what you read in the articles or posts on here. When the guys in the league scout these f'n players. You freak out cause these guys fall farther than they were originally projected to go, but overlook the fact that 25 other teams weren't interested in them, either.

[lefty]

The Spurs are more concentrated with the free agent market. Either that, or there's gonna be a trade soon.

:hat

Hill for Kobe

[O-Factor]

Feeding the division rivals

Again

...and Again.

[lefty]

Dumb ESPN questions

[spursreport]

The Spurs are more concentrated with the free agent market. Either that, or there's gonna be a trade soon.

I wish. :lmao They will prob sign James Jones and call it a summer.

[thekingrobert]

I like the pick think of how Rondo caused havoc this guy is quick, can create his own shot and 6'9 wingspand means a lot of tips and steals

[angelbelow]

if this is the end game, we might as well trade duncan to the celtics for tony allen.

[AA2120]

can CDR or Green last all the way to 45 or am i all ready on the way to the crazy house
