CF: Barbosa has the potential to be a Gary Payton-like player someday.
If I ever met Ford in person I'd punch him in the face for being such an idiot.
read through this for some of Fords brilliant observationsindependent of the points made in this thread, i just feel the need to point out that chad ford is consistently worse at his job than probably anybody on this board is at theirs. you could stockpile encyclopedia sized volumes filled with the bad (and often ridiculous) information and predictions that he has made over the years

CF: Bernie Bickerstaff played it safe again and went with the most proven player in the draft. Adam Morrison will score points and he'll draw fans into the arena. The Bobcats continue filling the team with solid players who have good backgrounds -- and with Morrison they may have found their first star.
Brian ing Cooke?
CF: I'm not sure that Rose is the most talented basketball player in the draft
CF: I hate to break it to what looked like a very sober, perhaps disappointed Pat Riley, but the Heat won this draft. They walked away with arguably the best player in the draft and then got a second-round steal at point guard, a position at which Miami really needed help. Beasley has a chance to be a superstar. With him and Dwyane Wade, the Heat have a terrific future. On top of that, Miami got a player at No. 34 who I had ranked as a potential mid-first-round pick. Chalmers is perfect for Riley: He is tough, plays defense, can shoot the lights out and is a winner.
CF: Another great draft for Bulls GM John Paxson. I had Tyrus Thomas ranked No. 1 on my board for the past two months,
I think with this one we ALL deserve aCF: Hill is a nice player, but I don't believe he's a better point guard than Mario Chalmers.
NDN: Hill was a bit of a reach at 26, and they may be second guessed for passing on Mario Chalmers.
DE: San Antonio was very likely blindsided after being caught by the Rockets with their hand in the cookie jar trying to steal Nicolas Batum from the rest of the league, so much that they seem to have reached for George Hill, who they almost certainly could have had in the early second round. Hill’s numbers are off the charts and he did play extremely well at the Orlando pre-draft camp, but learning how to play the point guard position is not going to be the easiest task in the world for him.
If the Spurs sign Tiago Splitter he is no longer considered a rookie so we are going to have to offer him 6-8million and that would then put Tony on the trading block because we were already over the cap and Tony is due to earn $13.5 million.
ford is a joke
The most we have to offer is 5.8mil/year to splitter. He might go for a little cheaper than that, hopefully around 4/year. This will have nothing to do with Tony being on the trading block or not.
Would anyone do Hill +#20 for Rush + #10 and draft George.
Seriously...how does Chad Ford still have a job?CF: I think Pavel will end up being the steal of the draft at No. 21.
Making predictions ain't always easy....basically everyone on ST and the media though that RJ and McDyess would make the Spurs contend after all
I was like, "Who is this guy? I don't know who he is," with some of the guys Chad Ford was singing praises about.
They showed the 95(?) draft again this weekend and when Antonio McDyess was drafted they said he would have a very long career like Shawn Kemp was going to have. I lol'd at Shawn Kemp having a long career comment.
You can't really on guys that do the draft and say ridiculous things. Nobody is spot on with their draft analysis. Could you really predict Beasley and Chalmers being a busy? The thing Ford said about Chalmers is exactly what 90% of this board was saying in that draft day thread.
Yea but Tiago is their main off season sigining and his agent the 1st time held out because of pay so he knows that he is worth more than that with his MVP's and championships. So they are going to shoot high for problaby the best rookie center out there.

Very true. At least Ford wasn't starting threads after the Hill pick saying that Buford and Pop should be fired.
Still, the most we can offer is 5.8 mil/year. There is no way around that.
Thnax for that info helps a lot on possibly keeping Tony
When someone has that poor a track record for making predictions, but continues to make strong ones and enjoys the smell of their own farts as much Ford does - I say aim high and away.
And Beasley, while not all-world, is still a long way from being a bust.
When the guys taken after include:
O.J. Mayo, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, Eric Gordon, Brook Lopez, Anthony Randolph, and , even Jason Thompson.
I'd say picking him #2 was bust-worthy.
back on the trade of Parker or Hill possibility...
I read on RealGM.com that Indiana turned down an offer from Minnesota of Flynn, 16th and 23rd for the 10th in return.
Why in the world would you turn that down UNLESS you had a better offer on the table...
I believe it was Minnesota that turned this deal down.
