I'd bet my life Rush will be in. Old for his class and a good showing in the tournament. My thinking is Arthur stays another year.
, who is this Durant you speak of?
All I know is NFL and Derrick Byars Tony, you should know that by now

I'll go in with you on Rush, and given Arthur's cooldown as the season wore on conventional wisdom would have him returning....
BUT, this is a kid that even had his parents fooled when he chose Kansas over Baylor (much to my dismay as a Baylor Alum), and seems to have NBA on the brain as I think he would've declared out of high school had it not been for the 1yr rule. I'm not saying you're wrong, but he's changed his mind in the past....and he'd go in the first round even as raw as he is.
More the better if Arthur comes in.
Totally agree...the more the merrier. He'd be another intriguing 3/4 combo guy for sure....
1987 = DROB
1997= TD
2007= hopefully another superstar
i have a slight clue about who Scola is. I like what he has as a player, but since it seems he'll never come here, i'd like to see us draft either a Bowen replacement, or a guy like Nick Fazekas or another person like that to replace horry. then again, it'd be good to have some prospects overseas and in the d league. Tim is not getting younger, but we have some years left before we can afford to worry about that.
whoa whoa whao man, i agreed with you until the part about duncan. I like Fazekas, but no need for a first round pick to prepare for horry's retirement. why draft nick if he'd be behind duncan for maybe the first three or 4 years od his career?
That's a of a list to live up to...
You may want to aim a little lower...say all-star or even future solid starter.
Still, it would be nice.....
err, idk if you're joking, but the guitar dude is Tom Morello.
but who knows, maybe Scola does jam a bit. as soon as i saved the sig i thought....damn, that confuses a bit..
im changing it..
The Spurs could probably pick up Fazekas in the early to middle second round....so no need to expend a first for him. The Spurs would then be able to hedge against paying too much to re-sign Bonner and/or letting Horry go/retire.
Robert Horry is the last player we need to bother replacing. Bonner's already here, anyway, and Fazekas or any other tall, basically immobile player should not be drafted with the first round pick. He may very well be available with the Milwaukee pick. Fine. Even then I'd suggest pulling a back-up point, but wouldn't sniff at Nick.
Aaron Afflalo is going to come out
ESPN.com has a story that Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, and Tyler Hansbrough are all coming back to the Tarheels next season. Brendan Wright has yet to make a decision, but I assume he'll be coming out. Still, it sucks that three possible first-rounders won't be coming out and deepening the draft even futher...first bit of bad news in a while.
Just pulling your leg a little bro. Shoulda put on aerr, idk if you're joking, but the guitar dude is Tom Morello.

im changing it..or
so you'd know.
Afflalo is definitely in.
He declared last year and pulled out, so that its for him.
He has to be in now because he pulled out last year.
Draft only becomes deeper and deeper.
Looks like a decision could be made early next week by the three Ohio State players....if they declare, Oden and Conley are likely to be lottery picks and Cook should go in the late first to early second.
Afflalo is a second rounder this year, maybe first if he works out well.
deep as the draft looks, even late 2nd rounders get some value.
in other words: are the 3 2nd rounders enough to get a late 1st rounder from a team with multiple 1st rounders? (Suns, Sixers) those teams might think about the option of using serveral 2nd rounders on internationals and play the waiting game instead of adding another 1st rounder.
there are some interesting players, who are far from NBA level right now, but might break out in some years (Andric, Gomes, Fesenko).
Suns will be hard up against the luxury tax, so them trading out of the first round is a distinct possibility. I could see the Spurs using one or two of their second round picks, but more than likely they would have to include a future first as compensation this time around....as would any other team. So Suns give up #29 pick for Spurs' future first and a late second rounder this year....that kind of deal.
Alas, I don't see Phoenix dealing with San Antonio to make them stronger. I only wish some middling team had surplus 1sts.
The bad side to a good reputation overall is teams are wary of looking like fools for dealing with you.
we gave them Barbosa, they should return the favor.
I'm sure the Suns will find a team that thinks it's on the verge of winning to give up a future first and the Suns will cash out with another lottery pick in 2008.
Julius Wright Might be Wrong!
"...showing his bad side one night at home, he went up for a spectacular, uncontested dunk but lost control of the ball and his body and landed in an embarrassed heap beneath the basket. Coach Bill Self was so disgusted, he pulled him out of the game.
"Julian is a versatile, fabulous athlete who can do a lot of things very, very well," said Self, who joined his star player at the news conference. "He'd be the first to agree that there are some things he needs to get better at.
Like walking and chewing gum at the same time?

Funnier still is that he'll go top 10...even with his incomplete game.
