Official 2008 NBA Draft Blog

[T Park]

I figured we could focus all the posts about the draft here to make it easier on the higher ups.

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn, still 30 minutes

[200 miles]

here's to hoping that chalmers will slide and keep sliding

[T Park]

According to Ric Bucher the Grizzlies have offered Gay, Conley, and the 5 for the 2.

If I was Miami I would've taken that in a new york minute.

[T Park]

here's to hoping that chalmers will slide and keep sliding

Heres to hoping the Spurs like Chalmers and not someone whos name requires outside help on pronouncing.

[DPG21920]

The Heat wanted that trade, the Griz did not

[T Park]

The Heat wanted that trade, the Griz did not

That makes sense.

I would've laughed at the Heat had they come to me with that.

[MaNu4Tres]

Here's to Richard Hendrix/ DJ White/ Devon Hardin/ J.J Hickson being available at 45.

[Spurtacus]

According to Ric Bucher the Grizzlies have offered Gay, Conley, and the 5 for the 2.

If I was Miami I would've taken that in a new york minute.

Good deal for Miami. They could take Kevin Love with that pick.

[loveforthegame]

I wonder how long we have to wait to hear whether the Spurs trade the pick or not?

[Das Texan]

According to Ric Bucher the Grizzlies have offered Gay, Conley, and the 5 for the 2.

If I was Miami I would've taken that in a new york minute.




miami must be dumb if they arent all over that.

[MannyIsGod]

WTF? They offered Gay?

[MannyIsGod]

Wtf Does Memphis Just Love Giving Motherfuckers Away?????

[Spurs Brazil]

Rose is the 1st pick

[Das Texan]

Wtf Does Memphis Just Love Giving Motherfuckers Away?????




they are fucking morons over there. how else to explain whats happened to that franchise.

[Spurs Brazil]

Heat pick Beasley

[T Park]

Apparently it was Miami that offered up the trade, I misunderstood Bucher, apologies.

[MannyIsGod]

Well that makes more sense then. Hell everyone should offer memphis crap for good players - who knows what will stick.

[O-Factor]

So the Heat stay at 2 and pick Beasley. The right pick for them.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wolves select Mayo

[misterx91578]

Mayo

[O-Factor]

http://www.foodmayhem.com/uploaded_images/mayo-713953.jpg at 3

[Spurs Brazil]

Sonics pick Westbrook

[Juanobili]

4. Russell Westbrook

[loveforthegame]

Has the deadline to make deals passed? I swear that's what Katz just said.

[misterx91578]

Westbrook

[Darkwaters]

Westbrook should be good for the Sonics

[O-Factor]

I think Seattle needed a true point gaurd, but Westbrook is a solid player

[WildcardManu]

Espn is going to go to commmercials when Stern is about to announce the Spurs pick.

[misterx91578]

Kevin Love to the Grizz

[Juanobili]

5. Kevin Love

[loveforthegame]

I hate to ask again but has the deadline passed to trade tonight still?

[Juanobili]

Espn is going to go to commmercials when Stern is about to announce the Spurs pick.

lol man... I can totally see that

[Darkwaters]

I hate to ask again but has the deadline passed to trade tonight still?

A trade deadline? No.

Actually if there was a draft night trade deadline Kevin Pritchard would probably have a public sobfest going on right now.

[misterx91578]

I hate to ask again but has the deadline passed to trade tonight still?

no

[loveforthegame]

DW ... Thank you.

[O-Factor]

lol @ the boos

[misterx91578]

Danilo Gallinari

[Juanobili]

"I like to win and play hard...." x3

[WildcardManu]

New York fans suck.

[stéphane]

Danilo is really good and is not Andrea, Knicks fans are just clueless lol

[Juanobili]

7. Eric Gordon

[misterx91578]

7 Gordon

[Spurs Brazil]

Clippers pick Gordon

[Radiosparks]

NY/NJ always boo their selections in any sport.

[MannyIsGod]

Draft Express has a perfect mock so far.

[Juanobili]

lol he kinda looks like Gary Coleman

[Radiosparks]

Draft Express has a perfect mock so far.

They sure do. :wow

[misterx91578]

Bucks take Joe Alexander

[ShoogarBear]

LMAO. Bucks say, F U, Scoop.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bucks pick Alexander

[Juanobili]

looking forward to seeing this guy in the NBA

[Horry For 3!]

Figures that Dantoni would pick an Italy player.

[Amarelooms]

Dirk laughs at all these clowns..bunch of freshmen...nigga please. Not one star in the whole bunch...can you say OVER-RATED :elephant

[Juanobili]

9. DJ Augustin

[Horry For 3!]

D.J. went pretty high

[Spurs Brazil]

Bobcats pick Augustin

[jag]

Brook Lopez is having a "Brady Quinn" type of a night.

[Tippecanoe]

bobcats just broke up draftexpress's perfect mock

[thekingrobert]

I like Felton so I dont agree with this pick

[MannyIsGod]

Man, hope NJ doens't take Lopez.

[Juanobili]

10. Brook Lopez

[MannyIsGod]

NJ might take Batum with their next pick now.

[misterx91578]

Brook Lopez

[thekingrobert]

good pick for the Nets makes a lot of sense

[jag]

It's about time.

[Spurs Brazil]

Lopez to the Nets

[Behrooz24]

Bayless is still not picked?!

[thekingrobert]

he shouldve went to the Bobcats

[Spurtacus]

Is Felton going to move to SG? You can't start two PG's on one team.

[Juanobili]

11. Jerryd Bayless

[misterx91578]

Bayless is still not picked?!

i'm guessing he goes to the kings

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Bayless will be better than Westbrook or Augustin. I haven't a clue why he's still on the board.

[Tippecanoe]

bayless to pacers. nice pick imo

[thekingrobert]

makes a lot of sense cause Tinsley is too ffragile

[thekingrobert]

i bet the Kings get Chaimers

[Spurtacus]

Bayless doesn't make sense to me. Indiana is getting T.J. Ford...

[Horry For 3!]

makes a lot of sense cause Tinsley is too ffragile

They have T.J. Ford but he is kinda fragile too.

[200 miles]

dammit! so much for batum and CHALMERS

[Tippecanoe]

jason thompson. what??

[Spurs Brazil]

Kings pick Thompson

[thekingrobert]

WOW!!!!! that's pretty high for him

[loveforthegame]

Solid pick for the Kings. Kinda high for him though.

[thekingrobert]

he wasn't even there cause he didnt expect to go so high anyway I expect Chalmers to the Blazers then makes sense to me let's see

[jag]

Stuart Scott needs a new shtick....ASAP.

[Spurtacus]

Golden State expressed interest in Thompson. Guess that's why the Kings couldn't trade down and draft him?

[Juanobili]

watch out for the Blazers next season

dayum

[Spurs Brazil]

Rush to Portland

[misterx91578]

Rush

[loveforthegame]

Damn Blazers. Great pick.

[200 miles]

Stuart Scott needs a new shtick....ASAP.


:lol

[thekingrobert]

Portland is a really scary team if they ever get a real PG man watch out

[thekingrobert]

they have too many holes, GS that is

[Juanobili]

14. Anthony Randolph

[Tippecanoe]

dang anthony randolph is thin

[thekingrobert]

poor man's Tayshaun Prince

[Spurtacus]

dang anthony randolph is thin

For a PF, yep. He needs to put on 15 pounds of muscle.

[misterx91578]

from the Blazer beat writer's blog: Rumor has it the Bobcats pick of Augustin was made for the Blazers and Portland will be picking for Charlotte, then adding some filler I would assume

[misterx91578]

suns gonna pick Robin Lopez

[Slinkyman]

from the Blazer beat writer's blog: Rumor has it the Bobcats pick of Augustin was made for the Blazers and Portland will be picking for Charlotte, then adding some filler I would assume

Blazers getting augustin makes more since then Rush.

[Tippecanoe]

damn. lopez to the suns.

[Juanobili]

15. Robin Lopez

[loveforthegame]

Suns get a nice big man addition.

[Spurs Brazil]

Suns with R.Lopez

[bostonguy]

I'd like to see the Celtics deal their pick along with Scalab for either a backup wing player or a pg.

[jag]

That's a really good pick for the Suns. They needed that size and D.

[Slinkyman]

If i didn't watch sports and someone asked me if i'd seen the Lopez twins, Robin and Brook, i'd say, "No, are they hot?" lol

[thekingrobert]

Shaq and Amare gonna kill that boy in practice

[Juanobili]

If i didn't watch sports and someone asked me if i'd seen the Lopez twins, Robin and Brook, i'd say, "No, are they hot?" lol

ahahaha true

[Juanobili]

isn't this dude dating some hot chick?

[todopedo]

from draftexpress

-The trade is between Indiana and Portland we’re informed. Jarrett Jack, Josh McRoberts and the #13 pick (Rush) for #11 (Jerryd Bayless). Indiana must have a trade exception. Kevin Pritchard does it again! What a great compliment for Brandon Roy. We’ve been talking about this all year long with Portland’s scouts…

[Tippecanoe]

isn't this dude dating some hot chick?

depends on whether or not you think michelle wie is hot

[Spurtacus]

Nice pick by the Suns. Guy looks like he wants to play. Shaq will manage to make fun of him though.

[misterx91578]

Michelle Wie the golfer

[Amarelooms]

That's a really good pick for the Suns. They needed that size and D.

Good pick? WTF...who are these horrible slow white guys??? Dude wont get off the bench...they acting like he a defensive stopper lol. Garbage pick...:flag:

[thekingrobert]

they can have him he's a nice hustle man

[Juanobili]

depends on whether or not you think michelle wie is hot

oh meh

I meant famous lol

[Tippecanoe]

speights. interesting pick.

[misterx91578]

Marreese Speights

[angelbelow]

WOW thomspon.. i kind of wanted him if our first choices were gone.

[200 miles]

just nine more picks of not picking batum or chalmers............

[PHXSpursFan]

It's a good pick for the Suns. They get hammered on the boards and suck defensively. It's a really limited squad, what else could they really have done?

[angelbelow]

im shocked with robin going 15th.

[angelbelow]

good pick for the pacers imo.

[thekingrobert]

im not impressed with him can you say Kandi man with less talent

[Spurtacus]

A bit early for Hibbert.

If Indiana/Toronto doesn't go through then Toronto is screwed.

[angelbelow]

It's a good pick for the Suns. They get hammered on the boards and suck defensively. It's a really limited squad, what else could they really have done?

true, i can see it that way.

[thekingrobert]

nice pickup for the Wiz, Shouldve nabbed DeAndre Jordan instead

[Juanobili]

18. JaVale McGee

[misterx91578]

JaVale McGee

[Spurs Brazil]

Wizards pick JaVale McGee

[Juanobili]

Oh Shit A Trade

[angelbelow]

WOW blazers...

[misterx91578]

rights to Rush and Jarrett Jack to the Pacers for the rights to Bayless and Ike Diogu

[Juanobili]

Portland is officially scary

[Tippecanoe]

wow. bad trade for the pacers.

[bostonguy]

Portland is officially scary

IF Oden stays healthy... fuck yeah they are.

[thekingrobert]

Tinsley is still on the block

[thekingrobert]

Portland is officially scary

team of the future hands down

[Spurtacus]

Portland...yikes. If Oden is healthy, they are a force.

[Das Texan]

umm...


something has to be happening no?

[angelbelow]

could the cavs pick batum?

[spurs1990]

My top 3 for Spurs:

JJ Hickson
Bill Walker
Sean Singletary

[loveforthegame]

Interesting pick for the Cavs.

[Das Texan]

so we gotta sweat out 6 more picks.


interesting.

[misterx91578]

J.J. Hickson

[thekingrobert]

very good pick cause Varajoa and Wallace arent gonna get it done

[tlongII]

That's hilarious! What are those guys at Indiana smoking??? :lmao

[spurs1990]

ok, Donte Greene instead of Hickson for Spurs.

[angelbelow]

thank god,i had a feeling they were going to pick batum...

[thekingrobert]

we are gonna get a good pick but several good people will be there and now we get to see if we really can evaluate talent

[King]

Do you grab Arthur if he's still hanging around?

[angelbelow]

ok, Donte Greene instead of Hickson for Spurs.

he might be gone imo.

[Spurtacus]

Bobcats go with Arthur at 20?

[loveforthegame]

I'm surprised Green is still available.

[MannyIsGod]

So far CDR, Lee, Batum, and Chalmers are all still available.

[spurs1990]

Jailblazers are looking tough:

Bayless
Roy
Diogu
Aldridge
Oden

[Spurtacus]

Bobcats go with Arthur at 20?

Ah nvm. I forgot about Koufus (sp).

[loveforthegame]

I'm surprised Chalmers has lasted this long as well.

The Spurs should get a nice pick if they haven't traded it yet.

[Solid D]

Darrell Arthur
Mario Chalmers
Kosta Koufos
Nicolas Batum
DeAndre Jordan
Courtney Lee
Chris Douglas-Roberts

Could one of these become a Spur?

[angelbelow]

i like this pick for the bobcats.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bobcats select Alexis Ajinca

It looks good for the Spurs

[loveforthegame]

Darrell Arthur
Mario Chalmers
Kosta Koufos
Nicolas Batum
DeAndre Jordan
Courtney Lee
Chris Douglas-Roberts

Could one of these become a Spur?

No reason one of these guys are not a Spur unless they sold the pick. It's getting closer to finding out.

[Warlord23]

Darrell Arthur
Mario Chalmers
Kosta Koufos
Nicolas Batum
DeAndre Jordan
Courtney Lee
Chris Douglas-Roberts

Could one of these become a Spur?

7 on your list, and 5 picks to go before we pick. So yes, we can get 1 of these if we want to

[thekingrobert]

Darrell Arthur
Mario Chalmers
Kosta Koufos
Nicolas Batum
DeAndre Jordan
Courtney Lee
Chris Douglas-Roberts

Could one of these become a Spur?

Whichever can come in and play immediately my vote is Lee

[Juanobili]

yeah, I'm less nervous :)

[angelbelow]

nets might go green, just cause they lost RJ

[spurs1990]

I want someone athletic who can contribute in May 2009. Hope that guy is there at 26.

[Bruno]

Darrell Arthur
Mario Chalmers
Kosta Koufos
Nicolas Batum
DeAndre Jordan
Courtney Lee
Chris Douglas-Roberts

Could one of these become a Spur?

I add Donté Greene to this list.

Spurs will have some interesting players available at #26. I will be pissed if they trade the pick.

[Juanobili]

21. Ryan Anderson

[koopa]

thank you nets

[loveforthegame]

Wow.

[Spurtacus]

woohoo! Ryan is off the board!

[KidCongo]

Why is Arthur dropping

[Spurs Brazil]

Great

Anderson to the Nets

[td4mvp21]

Yes No More Ryan Anderson!!!!!!!!!

[nadroj117]

Amen for Ryan being drafted, thank goodness

[Slinkyman]

thank you nets

first thing i thought! Best news i've heard all night!

[thekingrobert]

thank goodness Matt Bonner Jr was just taken

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

IT WORKED!

[Warlord23]

OK so the Spurs aren't picking Ryan Anderson at least

[Juanobili]

ahh, I just hope the Spurs don't make a shitty pick

[MannyIsGod]

CIA Pop in full fucking effect.

OMG

LOL LOL OL

[angelbelow]

suddenly the nets are stacked at the interior. Yi, Brook, Ryan, S Williams, Boone, Swift.

[George Gervin's Afro]

why do i get the feeling we are about to hear that we traded our pick for 2 future second rounders?

[RobinsontoDuncan]

thorn always tries to pick players the spurs like....seems like cia pop wins again

[spurs1990]

Darrell Arthur a Spur?

[misterx91578]

Lee going here?

[200 miles]

could it be?

[Bruno]

CIA Pop in full fucking effect.

OMG

LOL LOL OL

CLASSIC :lmao

[Spurtacus]

Rumor: Spurs trading #26 and Bonner for Ryan Anderson.










































































































:lol

[AA2120]

so koufus, green, batum, chalmers, or CDR!!!!!!!!

OMG OMG!!!
FTW!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

why do i get the feeling we are about to hear that we traded our pick for 2 future second rounders?

They way this draft is going I wish they could trade it for 2 early 2nd rounders.

[Slinkyman]

CDR goes here

[DannyT]

is Bill Curly still out there ?

[T-Pain]

so koufus, green, batum, chalmers, or CDR!!!!!!!!

OMG OMG!!!
FTW!!!!

i doubt we get any of those guys

[O-Factor]

thank you nets

+1

[Spurtacus]

Courtney Lee or Arthur here.

[Spurtacus]

Damnit

[thekingrobert]

they just killed my dreams

[George Gervin's Afro]

They way this draft is going I wish they could trade it for 2 early 2nd rounders.

I forgot what it feels like to have a rookie on our team..

[angelbelow]

uh oh.. lee is gone.

[AA2120]

i doubt we get any of those guys

aww come on man let me dream a little bit..:lol

[Radiosparks]

Damn it! Lee is gone.

[spurs1990]

ok 3 picks left -
Donte Greene
Darrell Arthur
Mario Chalmers
DeAndre Jordan

[T-Pain]

wow

[024]

donte greene is falling a few spots. it would be interesting if the spurs have to choose between batum and greene.

[Rover82]

Arthur won't slip past Seattle.

[Juanobili]

i doubt we get any of those guys

I'll be pissed if we don't get any of those guys

[angelbelow]

jazz will probably take arthur, i think that makes a lot of sense there.

[George Gervin's Afro]

utah selects........Darrell Arthur

[yavozerb]

Chalmers will be availlabel

[Spurtacus]

ok 3 picks left -
Donte Greene
Darrell Arthur
Mario Chalmers
DeAndre Jordan

Um Batum???

[AA2120]

holy hell i say we buy the last picks or trade away bonner for another pick..

[Sway]

Its looking pretty good so far. Some good picks still available.

[Bruno]

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

[angelbelow]

damn this would be a good time to have another late first rounder.

[Slinkyman]

jazz will select koufos based on his whiteness.

[Sway]

Lee is gone to the Magic.

[loveforthegame]

It'll be tough to pick between Green and Batum if both are still there but Chalmers would be a safe pick if he's there too.

[kobe_bryant]

chambers

[Radiosparks]

I see it Darrell Arthur, Batum and Chalmers. If DA is gone, Batum will be the Spurs choice.

[Slinkyman]

i called that shit!

[AA2120]

damn there goes kosta

[kobe_bryant]

wtf

[T-Pain]

Arthur won't slip past Seattle.

agreed

[angelbelow]

that makes no sense, they already have okur.

[200 miles]

jazz will select koufos based on his whiteness.

:lol right on the money!

[Juanobili]

jazz will select koufos based on his whiteness.

:lol

[kobe_bryant]

why do they need another big? stupid

[Slinkyman]

that makes no sense, they already have okur.

it makes perfect since, he's white so utah will love him.

[spurs1990]

Um Batum???



Well, is Batum gonna come here next year or is he going to Scola us.

I'm wary of going overseas again.

[thekingrobert]

i ll be happy with Green and Batum in the 2nd or trade up and nab him

[angelbelow]

rockets will probably arther if he is still there.

[AA2120]

buy this damn pick!!!
pleaseee

[lefty]

i called that shit!

Indeed

:toast

[yavozerb]

SEa-arthur
hou-green
SA-chalmers

[Bruno]

Well, is Batum gonna come here next year or is he going to Scola us.

I'm wary of going overseas again.

He comes next year if he is a first round pick.

[T-Pain]

if we go overseas on this pick i will be pissed

[JamStone]

that makes no sense, they already have okur.

can you name the jazz back up center without looking?

[manufor3]

why? batum would be great

[GSH]

Scola
Splitter
Batum


fuck me

[Spurtacus]

Spurs should buy this pick from Seattle. #24 and #26!

[Manuismyhomeboy]

Green, Batum, Jordan or Chalmres? Who will it be?

[MannyIsGod]

can you name the jazz back up center without looking?

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

[spurs1990]

Backup for Tony - Mario Chalmers...its gotta be.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs probably won't pick any of them. We're all getting excited for nothing.

[spursreport]

Fuck Batum. I want a player who will be ready to play now. Im sick of drafting players we have to wait on. Enough of that horseshit already.

[Spurtacus]

I don't want Chalmers. There's so much talent available right now. We could get a solid backup PG in the 2nd.

[T-Pain]

Spurs probably won't pick any of them. We're all getting excited for nothing.

right on...unfortunately
