The NBA Draft.

[getyopopcornready]

I thought Noah's hair was bad.. have u seen his grandfather's?

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

I don't see him fitting well into Chicago.

With Nocioni declining, I thought it would have been a perfect fit. Paxton made a mistake by thinking Noah will provide an immediate post presence.

Hawks take Acie Law. Thank God

 

[Volman09]

Man, I was hoping the hawks where going to get a good forward with the #11 pick

then they would have been considered the Detroit Lions of the NBA

 

[Volman09]

There was no way the Lions could have passed up Calvin Johnson.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Lakers aren't too far away.

 

[tidwell]

Boston cracks me up.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

Washington and New Jersey both got steals.

 

[tidwell]

Sorta scanned through this pretty quick; any mention of the Zach Randolph to New York trade?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

The Lakers get Javaris Crittenton.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

How much longer to Julian Wright gets picked?

 

[tidwell]

About negative 45 minutes from now.

[tidwell]

McRoberts finally drafted.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I don't know what I was thinking about Wright. I was talking to someone and wasn't paying attention to what I was typing.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

It looks like Michael took a page from The Danny Ainge Book of Lunacy. You trade Brandan Wright for Jason Richardson and his immense contract? Chris Mullin practically stole Brandan Wright from Charlotte.

Yeah, that was by far the worst move of the night... I was glad to see Boston picked up big baby davis though.

 

[Heebs]

Davis will be like a shorter Vin Baker.

Charlotte wanted an NBA ready player. They're looking short term because they don't need more young big men. They need a legit 20 ppg scorer in order to do anything. Maybe Wright will be huge in 3-4 years from now, but they don't have time to be developing a team 6 years down the line (ala Hawks).

 

[hmanvolfan]

Allen and Pierce won't fit good together.

That is a great observation. I can't see those two "stars" being able to distribute the fame between each other.

 

[hmanvolfan]

Yi to the Bucks. Even though his "people" were demanding he go to a large market team in a city with a big asian population

Didn't we hear the same crap with Yao?

 

[milohimself]

At least Houston is a little bit marketable.

Milwaukee, not so much.

Brandan Wright is plenty ready for the vigors of the NBA. And I'm willing to bet he'll be an All-Star within 3 years at Golden State (perfect fit for Nelson's system.) As for Richardson, he won't flourish with their current personnel situation. Charlotte needed an efficient post prospect, and Davidson doesn't come close to fitting that bill.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I agree Stunna.
