2012 NBA Draft Lottery

[Kai]

I completely agree with this. If you look at the top 7 lottery teams, the Hornets were the only team that played hard till the end.

was rigged, but NO deserved the #1 pick based on actually playing the entire season.

Played real hard scoring 6 points in the 4th quarter in their last game. They played the tanking game at the end.

I'm happy for the hornets. Hope Davis won't be a bust though, this could very well be a start of a good decade in bball in NO.

This

Like 73% of the Hornets losses were by single digits. They never quit (other than Gordon)

Real talk I'm happy for you hornets fans with Stern coming thru. Davis needs to shave that unibrow tho, he looks like a alien

[DPG21920]

Not to be overlooked IMO is that he actually won in college

Alright, time to turn ESPN off. Interesting is over and no one wants to watch Boston get euthanized.

Damn son! You win the internets!!

just admit you were wrong. Calling Stern stupid after pulling off a very good trade while saving the franchise from a crippling trade which led to the num 1 & 10 pick all because of a guy you just said was an injured backup combo guard????

I am not wrong. What was I wrong about? Aminu is better than Bledsoe. Argue the other side ... Waiting.

[DPG21920]

that's not your argument. If it is, it's terrible. If your beef with "stupid Stern" is Aminu v Injured limited combo guard (your words), what's your argument?

[Killakobe81]

LOL, DPG missing the point. I get he did help keep costs down but now of course it appears he jew-rigged this draft, to plenty of media and NBA fans. So I agree nice job and congrats, to the Hornets, Spirit. I again just stress I HATE Aminu. You saw Bledsoe play against the Spurs ... he is a BETTER player and the Hornets reportedly wanted him. Great move turning down Lakers/Hornets deal ... but why do you take a sorry asset like Aminu when Bledsoe could of been had and would of helped with the tank job since he was injured?

I cant be wrong here, it's my opinion. I know your condescending ass wants a victory but Tonight I am NOT your huckleberry. IF Aminu ends up better than Bledsoe someday I will come on here and bow down to you ...if not my point still stands.

That makes no sense to me dude. Honestly. Who cares about either of those guys. Steve Blake is better than Blake Ahearn but in the end it's trivial.

Point is you dogged the trade, call Stern dumb only to boil it down to Aminu and Injured Limited Combo Guard?

[Killakobe81]

Read the thread dumbass. I said stupid Stern, because he has wilbon and simmons two of the most prominent NBA scribes bringin up conspiracy on a prominent night for his league.

You are right, Stern made a great business decision, no doubt. But his reputation took a hit whether you want to get off your ing high horse and admit it or not.

I know it's your weak ass style lately to just say that doesnt make sense, or to call people names, but if you took the time to ask questions or read ... an intelligent guy like yourself should of figured some out. The bledsoe vs. Aminu is my personl opinion because I hate Aminu and his game. Admitted this on here plenty of times.

Stern hurt his rep with the lockout, the fiasco afterwards and now there is even story that Fisher was playing double agent for him. If you cant figure how that stains Stern's rep ...then just stick with your "i just talk basketball "
.

Oh let's also throw in the airbrushing of Iverson's tatoos, the dress code and the pussifying of the game with the techs instead of dealing with flopping.

Is that enough for you?

Two separate issues, homey we covered that.

I can't get on a high horse tbh...physically impossible

[redzero]

Killakobe is not even coherent right now.

[Killakobe81]

lol

Was just slinging mud at the mud slinger. Kinda like Doc spinning the tin cup at ringo, tbh. The high horse joke is pretty funny.
But I dont see how you could not see that me calling out stern was not about that trade. To reduce it to just Bledsoe and Aminu is pretty silly you know me better than that. Like I said that is a personal beef which I admit I am biased on. I love the way Bledsoe plays and Hate Aminu ... cant stress that enough. I was hearing Hornets liked him (Bledsoe)and thought smart move. A really good trade for the Hornets ... still I did not say it wasnt. What I maintained ALL year was they should of asked for more. Minny pick ended up 10. Aminu sucks. Kaman may stay but he is not that good and Gordon was hurt and may leave. I stand by my argument. Lakers trade was worse I agree. Hornets could have gotten more than either deal.

[Killakobe81]

Stay out red, this is a grown man, discussion.

[redzero]

Could "HAVE" gotten more, not "OF."

[Killakobe81]

Could "HAVE" gotten more, not "OF."

Thanks I hate my phone sometimes

[Killakobe81]

Hey back to the points I was making before DPG, pulled me aside. Happy for the Hornets fans. I have two in my fantasy football league. We shall see if they let go Kaman and/or Gordon curious to see what you guys sign around those 2 picks. And I agree with the Spirit fan that said having 1 and 10 is better than having two top 5 picks that did not include Davis ... this draft is overrated.

Great show. The last episode is amazing and I just started the book (aCoK) this season is based on. DPG does remind me of Tyrion Lannister little guys, that are smart, well spoken with high opinons of themselves ... if DPG can bang s like the Lannisters do ... DPG is a pimp!
