Official 2008 NBA Draft Blog

[jag]

CDR...Chalmers, and we draft Marcus Williams again

[kcplayboi26]

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

hey like ur Mizzou Tigers thing, played with tony in high school at rockhurst in KC

[O-Factor]

Im ready for a new GM, should of promoted Presti sooner. He knows what he's doing.

[koopa]

this is the worse draft, i'd rather them just draft some random ass foreigner that will never play

[dknights411]

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.

:tu

[MoSpur]

I like the Hill pick. A lot. I jus think he could have been had in the 2nd

[dbreiden83080]

Im ready for a new GM, should of promoted Presti sooner. He knows what he's doing.

Oh yeah like RC takes a piss without Pop, in the room.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hill? Seriously?

Fucking front office...

[Tippecanoe]

donte greene to memphis. good pick.

[Spurtacus]

We're in for a long summer....


Is it possible that the Rockets picking Batum threw the Spurs completely off course? I would assume they have a fucking cheat sheet with available players. Hill over Chalmers and CDR? Man....

[Warlord23]

Well, all I can say is they better have a good FA signing or two to address our SF/SG deficiencies

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Spurs fans are some spoiled bitches.

You overlook the fact that 25 other teams dont have the same needs we do. Think before you post

[loveforthegame]

It makes you get all tingly to see who the Spurs pick at 45 doesn't it?

[Tippecanoe]

remember the name is an awesome song, but man is it overused

[Warlord23]

Why are teams in general avoiding CDR?

[koopa]

the fuck are they showing an nba live 08 commercial for???

i guess since a spur is on the cover we'll never see a commercial for it on espn

[Rover82]

I am always impressed with the way Detroit drafts. They have a championship caliber team, but the improve it, give it depth, and stock for the future all at the same time. They take immediate impact players. It will be interesting to see what they do.

[MannyIsGod]

Celtics are going to add Chalmers or CDR. Sick.

[dknights411]

the fuck are they showing an nba live 08 commercial for???

i guess since a spur is on the cover we'll never see a commercial for it on espn

I don't think EA Sports had the chance to do promo materials with Tony Parker yet.

[Slinkyman]

NBA LIVE 09 isn't out for 4 months

[angelbelow]

this is so bad guys..

[fotan2]

george hill???? wtf , that's unexpectable

[lakehorn]

Peter Holt is too cheap to buy a 1st round pick and apparently our front office has no clue who to draft. Arthur falls in their laps and they pick a projected second rounder, at least pick DeAndre Jordan.

[Slinkyman]

At least we didn't draft Ryan Anderson.

[kolko]

Batum traded to Portland?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

ugh the rich get richer......

[Sigz]

Fuck I agree.

[angelbelow]

At least we didn't draft Ryan Anderson.

maybe its cause he was already off the board... lol who knows maybe we wanted him too.

[Darkwaters]

I wonder, if Batum had been there at 26 would they still have taken Hill?

[Sway]

Spurs fans are some spoiled bitches.

You cant be fucking serious?!? No way you can be happy with Spurs taking Hill in the 1st round when he could have been there for them in the 2nd round. What about all the other players left on the board (CDR, Chalmers, Greene)?

Im starting to wonder if you work for the Spurs FO...

[angelbelow]

looks like the pistons did indeed promise DJ.

[Tippecanoe]

DJ white to pistons. not bad.

[Ninja-Defense]

At least we didn't draft Ryan Anderson.

Yeah, no kidding. I guess there's somewhat of a silver lining... [takes another tequila shot].

[King]

You overlook the fact that 25 other teams dont have the same needs we do. Think before you post

The point remains that the majority of the people in here, myself included, know absolutely frickin' nothing about these players. They fell in love with CDR or Chalmers because they saw them on TV in March - and they recognize the names. So, they'll blow up, saying it was a terrible pick, because they don't recognize the name.

[koopa]

I wonder, if Batum had been there at 26 would they still have taken Hill?

probably not cause rc can't draft for shit....... he can't live off of tony and manu forever

Spurs saw something in George Hill that made them know he was the best pick.
Deal with it.
Damn you guys sound like you would've preferred Nathan Jawai.

[MannyIsGod]

-The Rockets totally busted up the Spurs’ plan to hide Nicolas Batum’s physical and get him to fall there. Batum might not be happy to get picked here, but will report to Houston like a good soldier. “We missed by one pick” his camp told us immediately after the Rockets took him. You could see Batum fidgeting in his chair in the five minute span between picks.

From DX. Sounds like the Spurs didn't have a backup plan if you ask me. George Hill is 2nd round talent. They fucked up.

[Tippecanoe]

DeAndre Jordan, Mario Chalmers, Chris Douglas-Roberts all possibilities for Celtics.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

celts need a big man, but also a backup PG.........wonder if they with Jordan or Chalmers, or i could be totally off the charts :lol

[Warlord23]

Batum to Portland per DraftX

[angelbelow]

man the celtics are gonna get a good pick with good value here.

[Tippecanoe]

celts need a big man, but also a backup PG.........wonder if they with Jordan or Chalmers, or i could be totally off the charts :lol

i'd say no to chalmers. they have 2 other youngs PGs in rondo and pruitt. but who knows, i aint no expert.

[misterx91578]

Batum to Portland per DraftX

for who?

[Tippecanoe]

Batum to Portland per DraftX

oh you've got to be kidding me. portland is loaded.

[lakehorn]

I guess Pop's response will be that Hill was the top player on the their board and fans don't see what they do. Except the fucking fans pay the bills, and picks the they have made since 2001 are total shit and a waste.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

i'd say no to chalmers. they have 2 other youngs PGs in rondo and pruitt. but who knows, i aint no expert.

i 4got about pruitt.....

[angelbelow]

could be true that they had no back up plan, but when that happens, even a dumbass will make the next best availible move. i wonder how much thought the spurs really put into this pick.

[MannyIsGod]

It really looks like the Rockets fucked the Spurs for the 2nd offseason in a row.

[robbie380]

for who?

for arthur and 1 of portlands 2nd rounders

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Jordan to the Celtics.......very nice pickup

chalmers and CDR in the 2nd rd? crazy

[Slinkyman]

arthur and a 2nd for batum

[Sway]

From DX. Sounds like the Spurs didn't have a backup plan if you ask me. George Hill is 2nd round talent. They fucked up.
[/SIZE]

Its believeable...Hill would have made more sense with the 45 pick.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

There is no longer any fucking doubt that this front office does not know what the fuck they are doing

how could they not have a backup plan behind batum

what
the
fuck

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

batum to portland for arthur and a 2nd rd pick

[Warlord23]

Nicolas Batum was traded by Houston to Portland in exchange for the rights to Darrell Arthur and one of Portland’s early second round picks.


per draftexpress

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I <3 George Hill.

[koopa]

batum to portland for arthur and a 2nd rd pick

so we were gonna draft him........... i hope yao breaks his foot again.......fuck the rockets

[MannyIsGod]

Theres really no fucking reason to take Hill there. I'd almost put money that the Spurs just didn't have anyone else in mind. How the fuck? So horrible.

[angelbelow]

DX is saying batum for arthur, portland getting batum.

[Kindergarten Cop]

Just out of curiosity, what were the responses here when the Spurs selected Tony Parker back in '01?

[MannyIsGod]

I guess maybe the Spurs knew this was going to happen - maybe thats why they tried to despretley get rid of the pick. They should have picked up Hendrix. Fuck.

[Tippecanoe]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

please tell me it was a trade

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

did anyone pick that in the Spurstalk contest? lol

[loveforthegame]

Fuck the Celtics.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Nice choice Boston. :tu

[King]

WTF?! Boston passed on CDR and Chalmers?!?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

It makes absolutely no sense why they would not have picked Mario Chalmers

NONE WHATSOEVER
HOW COULD THEY BE SO FUCKING STUPID

it makes no sense

unless the FO is being paid to self destruct this entire organisation
its a fucking conspiracy

if they wanted to go PG why not chalmers

it makes
NO SENSE DAMMIT

[Bruno]

The idea that Spurs didn't have a plan B after Batum is plain ridiculous. (baring Batum was plan A)

George Hill was just higher on their board than Chalmers, Donté Greene, CDR or Arthur.
It looks damn strange but we will see if they were right on their evaluations.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

dang it......they didnt go with Jordan, but JR ? :lol

risky move but could pay off and Ray Ray is getting old

[kcplayboi26]

celtics got another player(paul pierce) whose gotten stabbed up. nah i like jr tho, member watching him that one year at KU

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

wow 2nd round steals galore

Ok then Hill was their plan B and thats why they were trying to unload the pick. I still think you fuck up by not taking someone you know will be gone by 45 such as Hendrix who is a better value than Hill.

[koopa]

i wish holt would sale the team to an owner who doesn't spend his money on booze and would rather get younger to win then get all these old cheap players....... sure we won 4 titles, but fuck i want more, and the way we are going 07 looks like it will be the last we ever celebrate cause while everyone gets better we get older and shittier

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I <3 George Hill. I'm gonna go add him on MySpace.

[Sway]

I guess maybe the Spurs knew this was going to happen - maybe thats why they tried to despretley get rid of the pick. They should have picked up Hendrix. Fuck.

Dude I doubt they had a fucking clue. Portland just straight up punked them!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn you guys sound like you would've preferred Nathan Jawai.

Yeah, because the Spurs have been on fire drafting domestic talent of late....

[Cant_Be_Faded]

we drafted marcus fucking williams and george hill, hooray for domestic talent!!!


PLEASE FIRE RC this bastard does not deserve a job with the spurs

[N.Y. Johnny]

Ok then Hill was their plan B and thats why they were trying to unload the pick. I still think you fuck up by not taking someone you know will be gone by 45 such as Hendrix who is a better value than Hill.



They probably could have had Hill undrafted possibly even. Anything else would've been better value. :wow

[AA2120]

im gonna go crawl into a hole and die..

[leemajors]

let's see if we make a good FA pickup or two before we overcrowd the ledge.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

not bad but how was the competition?

[024]

the draft day maneuvering portland has done over the last few years is scary good. right now all they have to do is sign a few veterans and they will be set to compete at the top in the next 2-3 years.

[Bruno]

Ok then Hill was their plan B and thats why they were trying to unload the pick. I still think you fuck up by not taking someone you know will be gone by 45 such as Hendrix who is a better value than Hill.

Words were that Lakers were going to get an early second round pick to draft Hill.
It's far from sure that Hill would have been available at #45.

[lakehorn]

I don't know when two young players like Darrell Arthur and DeAndre Jordan are available you pick one. Jordan might not be ready yet but you can't teach size, and he has some patential probably more tha Mahimi.

[dknights411]

i cooled down just a bit after watching this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEb3MS8bK24

There's raw talent there. Put him up against Tony Parker at practice everyday, who knows what might happen.

[MannyIsGod]

Words were that Lakers were going to get an early second round pick to draft Hill.
It's far from sure that Hill would have been available at #45.

I hear what you're saying, but I just think its a shitty use of a first rounder.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

man whats up with Chalmers? Apparently had good workouts and his stock was meant to be rising :lol

The Nuggets could get a 2nd rd pick and scoop him up still.....but i doubt it

[Sway]

If he actually plays in a game with the Spurs and is still on the team at the end of the season, it's better than any Spurs first rounders in recent memory. Maybe he's going to be the long defensive three in the smallball lineup.

yeah it is with rc drafting

[Sway]

yeah it is with rc drafting

:lol

[loveforthegame]

Chalmers, CDR, Walker, Hendrix, and Weems are still on the board but the Spurs will probably pick Will Daniels or something.

[AA2120]

crap.

[0201rinckwater]

Joey is not slang for kangaroo moron

[lakehorn]

Some Euro player with potential that joins the team in 2015-2016 season.

[dknights411]

chalmers gone

[Spurs Brazil]

Mario Chalmers to the Wolves

[Spurtacus]

Jordan gone.

[JamStone]

Does Minnesota have another draft pick?

They need another combo guard.

[Biggems]

im very disappointed that we passed on Donte Green for George Hill.....all I hear is how we need tall, long, athletic wing players.....and Donte Green is just that. He has 3pt range, rebounds, blocks shots, and can take it strong to the hoop. But Pop and RC liked Hill.....oh well.

[loveforthegame]

No surprise the picks available to the Spurs at 26 are flying off the shelf now.

[Spurtacus]

Spurs will complete their draft by taking two international players that will never come over or trading away the picks.

[kcplayboi26]

i agree donte wouldve been nice in that lineup esp wen bowen comes out

[GSH]

We're gonna take Joe Crawford. Perfect symmetry.

[kcplayboi26]

welp now i just need to see where bill walker and CDR goes then THATS IT.....til free agency

[xtremesteven33]

why go for a rookie when we can sign a 2-3 year player for the MLE?

Pietrus or Azubuke?

lets give this kid a chance.

[lakehorn]

Spur will sign resign Horry, Finley, and Thomas, saying last year we just weren't old enough, we need more experience.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:lol the Spurs may just get CDR in the 2nd rd

[Biggems]

my bro is an Aggie fan, he was bummed when the Clippers took DeAndre.......he is hoping that D can go back to A&M next year.....but I don't know the rules.

[703 Spurz]

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.

Exactly but it's like this ever year. Just a bunch of god damn idiots who think they know who's best.

Gets me everytime

[loveforthegame]

:lol the Spurs may just get CDR in the 2nd rd

I'd rather they pick Richard Hendrix if he's still there. CDR was the 26th pick if they were going to take him.

[Bruno]

What happens with CDR ? Mbah A Moute and Weaver taken before him ?

[wildbill2u]

Here's a little something I found on the NBA.com site.

"Hill is intriguing to me for two reasons. One, because he shares a name with a Oscar-winning director, George Roy Hill (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001351/) (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, Slap Shot).

That, and IU-PUI has the best sounding abbreviation of any college: Ooey-Pooey I'm strange like that."

Ooey-Pooey. The official NBA site is laughing at us.

[MannyIsGod]

Probably forgot to play them 1 on 1.

[GooberNuts]

It would be hilarious if CDR is still on the board at 45 and we don't take him

[TDMVPDPOY]

Wtf Is The 2nd Round So Slow

[koopa]

fuck the nets

[GooberNuts]

I take that back, CDR to NJ

[td4mvp21]

Fuck do they not know we need an athletic swingman? Do they not fucking know that? Parker plays 40+ mpg in the playoffs.

[koopa]

fuck rebuilding the team, we need to rebuild the fucking front office

[MannyIsGod]

Let Hendrix drop a few spots pleaseeeeeee

[Bruno]

At least CDR should get some playing time with Nets after their trade with Bucks.

[kobyz]

i want Nathan Jawai

[GSH]

At least CDR should get some playing time with Nets after their trade with Bucks.

Heh... yeah, a good shooting guard wouldn't have gotten any minutes on our team.

[MannyIsGod]

Nets with the best draft of the night???

[lakehorn]

Exactly but it's like this ever year. Just a bunch of god damn idiots who think they know who's best.

Gets me everytime

I guess I'm not the only one surprised.

http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3462507&n8pe6c=1&categoryId=3462469

[Bruno]

Nets with the best draft of the night???

Yep, they got Anderson. :)

[loveforthegame]

At least we know the Spurs won't be drafting Nathan Jawai and that probably threw the Spurs off too.

[lakehorn]

Nets get CDR

[TDMVPDPOY]

watever the spurs do, DONT fuckn pick nathan jawai damn it or any fukn aussie

[Biggems]

jawai is a pacer

[Kindergarten Cop]

watever the spurs do, DONT fuckn pick nathan jawai damn it or any fukn aussie

Indiana already got him

[T-Pain]

lets hope for a good ass pick this time

[Biggems]

Singletary and Ewing to SAC......

[Spurtacus]

Jazz pick than us. Hendrix???

[Kindergarten Cop]

Man, Larry Bird is looking rough.:wow

[loveforthegame]

The Kings had a very solid draft imo.

[koopa]

tomic to the jazz, maybe we'll draft another american

[Biggems]

what a surprise.....Jazz going whiteboy again

Ante Tomic

there goes ante

[T-Pain]

haha...sarastic?

Hendrix, Walker and Hardin are available.

[0201rinckwater]

seriously, fuck ESPN

[T-Pain]

goran dragic????

[dknights411]

Spurs pick Goran Dragic from Slovenia

[koopa]

hendrix would make up for everything

[Kindergarten Cop]

Dragic?

[200 miles]

who here thinks spurs should choose hardin ?


never mind



:bang

[GSH]

Here comes Joe Crawford for the Spurs.

[AA2120]

u gotta be fucking kidding me? who the fuck is the asshole we just picked?

[Bruno]

Dragic : property of Tau Ceramica. :rollin

[Biggems]

haha...sarastic?

no being truthfully honest.

The Jazz love their white players....ever since they moved to Utah, they have always led the league in white players.

[koopa]

i hope rc dies a bloody death

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I honestly think this is the beginning of the downfall of this organization. The Scola trade was an omen of things to come

[Biggems]

isnt he a PG like Hill?

[lakehorn]

I'm surprised, one point guard wasn't enough we needed two:

Terrible. I just don't get it.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Fuck this front office
the spurs are officially a thing of the past

I have never witnessed such shitty front office decisions for such a long stretch.

This is a complete disgrace.

[koopa]

haven't they learned already? Slovenians don't make good players, sasha was a fluke.......

[GSH]

www.whatthefuckdotcom

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

knicks-bobcats discussing a lee-felton trade

[wildbill2u]

Dragic : property of Tau Ceramica. :rollin

We'll never get him if we stash him and he turns out to be NBA quality. Tau will pull another Splitter on us.

[Bruno]

The other thing I don't get it's that it's another PG. Dragic will stay in Europe but when he will come to Spurs will have Parker and Hill as backup under contract.

[lakehorn]

I may not be an expert but all the talent that was in the front office went to Portland and Seattle, we're left with RC.

[Booharv]

God, I wish they would have picked Bill Walker.

[koopa]

well it's official, 2007 will be the last championship we ever see celebrated in san antonio........

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

rumour that the Nuggets have got Sonny Weems from the Bulls :lol who the heck is this guy?
:drunk

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Sad to say, but we are a thing of the past.
Lakers, Hornets, Blazers, Jazz
this is the future of the west.

[Spurtacus]

This is retarded. We're going to have a bunch of old guys again next season.

[loveforthegame]

Why are the Spurs so confident they can address their needs in free agency?

[Biggems]

well on a good note, we can actually offer a quality contract to him as opposed to what we were able to offer skinner....cause the 2nd round isnt guaranteed and it doesnt fall into the rookie salary cap.

[Sigz]

This is retarded. We're going to have a bunch of old guys again next season.

:laugh

Quote of the night.

[koopa]

Why are the Spurs so confident they can address their needs in free agency?

i don't think they are, i just think they want to save as much money as possible so holt can afford his booze.............. it sucks having a poor alcoholic owner

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Why, under any circumstances, would the Spurs pick two point guards, one of which was much worse than an already available point guard, and the second of which was Slovenian, no named, and not even expected to go in the second round??!?!?!?!?!?


This is officially the last time any of us on spurstalk.com are EVER GOING TO LOOK FORWARD TO A FUCKING DRAFT
the last time

i knew i was right to be totally fucking bummed out, i shouldn't even be surprised


our front office is a complete laughing stock
they are going out of their way to impede us from improving!@!!!!1

[0201rinckwater]

who is the oldest guy left in the draft?

[lakehorn]

Spurs have no clue, these picks are a waste, I think it's time for some of the front office to go along with Peter Holt.

[Cherry]

Dragic : property of Tau Ceramica. :rollin

Here we go... again...and again...and again.:lol

[Biggems]

anymore PGs left in the draft? we still have one more pick.

[td4mvp21]

Fuck the front office. We didn't need two point guards as much as we needed an athletic swingman. We passed up on Arthur, Chalmers, and CDR. Enough said.

[tp2021]

Scola 3.0 Ftw!

great pick I've watched him play and he is a tad under Tony Parker no kidding, now that buyout is the problem but he has skiiiiillllllllsss

[lakehorn]

Spurs final pick will be Damjan Rudez.

[Borosai]

This is turning out to be a crap draft.

Yeah yeah. Maybe these guys will be productive someday, but it seems like their names are being picked out of a clown's shoe.

The draft is a gamble, but hell, you might as well put some thought into it.

[kobyz]

why two PG? they want to make trade on Tony?

Your input is appreciated. Fuck you very much.

[Spurtacus]

who is the oldest guy left in the draft?

that would top off this draft. :(

[Warlord23]

Do they honestly think Finley, Barry and Bowen are the answer at the swing spots? I hope to God there's a trade or FA signing coming up.

Regarding the Slovenian signing, it's just another classic draft-stash-avoid-paying-$$ move from the Spurs. Let's be thankful they didn't do it in the 1st round.

[loveforthegame]

Warriors my 2nd favorite team and they nab Richard Hendrix. Nice.

[Avitus1]

Who the hell is Goran.... ?

[davi78239]

The Sucky part is is that if we blow next year, we don't have a first rounder because we traded it for fuckin Kurt Thomas.

[GSH]

Jamont Gordon next.

[Kindergarten Cop]

Jamont Gordon next.

He'd fit - he shoots 69% from the FT line.:lol

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

posible deal between the nuggs-bulls......... oh please let hinrich and camby be involved :clap :elephant

Miami with a steal in Chalmers. Nice trade for them. Damn.

[0201rinckwater]

Min just traded Chalmers

[T-Pain]

ok whos next...

[AA2120]

well it's official, 2007 will be the last championship we ever see celebrated in san antonio........

looks like a mugshot

[GSH]

I would rather have seen the Spurs sell all their draft picks for cash, and all the front office people get Ferraris. At least that I could understand.

[T-Pain]

were up

[Spurtacus]

OMG the Spurs are on the clock!!!


Wait...why am I excited???

[koopa]

i wonder what bum ass foreigner we draft now

[GSH]

Spurs trade 57 and cash to Seattle for 56.

[dknights411]

Brace yourself everyone, Spurs are on the clock!

[0201rinckwater]

OMG those assholes cut to commercial again when the Spurs pick is up

[T-Pain]

i wonder what bum ass foreigner we draft now

:lmao

[dknights411]

Spurs selected james Gist from maryland

[Kindergarten Cop]

James Gist

[T-Pain]

anyone heard of James Gist?

[WildcardManu]

james gist?

[WildcardManu]

Espn timing the commercial perfectly, when they come back they will have LA's pick

[lakehorn]

James Gist thank goodness this is over total waste of draft picks. Pop will have some smart ass comment tomorrow.

[GSH]

Defensive specialist, at best.

Field goals? We don't need no steenking field goals.

[loveforthegame]

I picked Gist as a 2nd round sleeper but since the Spurs picked him I can edit him out of my post now.

[koopa]

this is one of the most depressing drafts ever, at least in the past we still had legit chances to win it all the next year, but now we might not even make the playoffs with the way the west is gonna be getting better, and to top it off, we get nothing next year cause of that old cross eyed kurt thomas

[0201rinckwater]

Dammit we don't even get a video on this guy?

[koopa]

celtics will repeat, they get bill walker lol

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

Shit now the Spurs will potentially have two Joe Crawfords against them in one game

[Spurtacus]

I'm depressed.

[kcplayboi26]

the damn best team(celtics) in the nba had a better draft than most teams, they got TWO athletic scorers. walker and giddens, teams are slacking on not making moves

[AFBlue]

Spurs needed to get more athletic on the wing and get players that can contribute....and they end up with nothing.

Probably as disappointed as I've been in a while. If the Spurs don't strike big in FA, I'll be down on this team's chances of making it far next year.

i honestly think it might be a little while until we see the spurs win a fifth championship, were just getting too old, and the league has figured us out. i think its gonna take another poor 15-win season and an eventual lottery pick to get us back on track...and maybe a new GM.

[DAINTX]

Another stunning draft by the Spurs. Incredibly effective and sharply focused...really! :bang Who needs overwhelming financial resouces like Portland and NJ on a night like this? Not us! :nope Because we're just that much smarter than teams like that! :rolleyes

i don't think we'll ever see them win that 5th, and if they do, i'll be in the nursing home and they'll be in a different city

[Biggems]

on a good note.....Keith Brumbaugh didnt get drafted. He says he wants to be a Spur....so bring him into the summer league and possibly training camp. maybe he will make some waves.

[AA2120]

well thats it folks..
fuck the fo
fuck you
fuck me
fuck espn..
fuck houston
fuck portland
fuck hill
fuck that slovanian guy
fuck gist..
im going to bed..

[AA2120]

sry just venting..

[kcplayboi26]

Check that. The Suns just had the draft of their dreams.

They can't announce the trade yet because it is pending league approval but Phoenix has acquired Slovenian point guard Goran Dragic in a trade with San Antonio.

This is a 6-foot-4, lefthanded point guard who Phoenix envisions can back up Steve Nash and take over the job in a couple years likely will be a Sun. Phoenix fancied him more than D.J. Augustin or Mario Chalmers and spent the night trying to make a deal to move up in the second round to land him.

By adding Dragic, Phoenix has addressed two of the toughest positions to fill -- center and point guard.

[kcplayboi26]

thats on azcentral.com

[kcplayboi26]

nevermind someone beat me to it

[Biggems]

I didnt like the Gist pick.....especially with Will Daniels, Pat Calathes, Marcus Dove, and Keith Brumbaugh still available.

I hope Dove and Brumbaugh will get a shot in our summer league and possibly in training camp.
