*NBA THREAD* Abe will be missed (2 Viewers)

jefferson is an instant upgrade at the 3 for the kings. I like, don't love the deal. The starting lineup at least looks NBA worthy now.

Give me Caspi, Greene, Garcia or slide Salmons to the 3 before I take on Jefferson's contract.Jefferson is one of the worst starting 3's in the league.

Raptors, Kings, Wizards, Cavs, Nets, Hornets, Clippers would have all been much improved with Jefferson at SF last year, and hes equivalent to what the Lakers, Warriors, Bucks, Magic and Jazz had last year. The small forward position blows in the NBA right now.

Possible Wolves take Kantor at 2, Jazz get Williams at 3, then possibly Kemba with their 2nd 1st.

Would be a damn good haul for them.

 

[Sudoku_in_the_Bathtub]

Knicks scared to part with Toney Douglas. The same Douglas that got shoved aside by Anthony Carter in the playoffs??

Humorous watching the Knicks faithful overrating their talent. Heaven forbid they look to deal a 'Top 100 player' like Landry Fields..

Eh, sort of. Technically wouldn't you say the LBJ, Melo, and Durant all play SF?

Heaven forbid they look to deal a 'Top 100 player' like Landry Fields..

It never ceases to amaze me how untouchable guys are that could literally be traded out with a dozen other players and no one would notice.

I'd much, much rather have Wright than Jefferson. HTH.

 

[wikkidpissah]

i'd rather have a hard chair & a hemorrhoid at my 3 than Jeff. a run-out guy who dont run out anymore, who hangs the trey line but cant shoot 3s and avgs almost a rebound a game and almost stopped a guy in March - i saw it. thx, no -

 

[Bobcat10]

Disregard my post about the 10 pick and Cavs...i Was not tjhinknig straight. Sorry.The Jefferson hate is THe guy is very overpaid. But he's not horrible. He shot 44% from 3 this season and doesn't turn the ball over. You aren't winning a title with Jefferson as your best player, but he's certainly a better player then he's being talked about as in this thread. If he was making half as much money no one would say a thing. Toss in that NO ONE is signing in Sacramento as a FA any time soon and you're left with either drafting more young guys that never develop or taking on a veteran who can shoot a little, won't turn the ball over, and won't do something stupid.

I still think the Cavs are gonna be in the mix at 10 just like they apparently were for the 7. Obviously Jefferson is not involved.

Stern sounds like he's had a few drinks or possibly he has marbles in his mouth.

Maybe a subliminal homage to Tractor Traylor? They're about the same size.

They are all very good, but half the league sports SFs who should be coming off the bench.

Classy move by Williams to stand up and congratulate Irving.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Wonder where Irving ends up as soon as his first contract expires.

 

[LHUCKS]

Classy move by Williams to stand up and congratulate Irving.

He'll have twice the career of Irving.

Oh joy, it's Stu Scott.

The only deep he was rolling in was cookie dough

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Good interview, bro.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

"You can't get a veteran in the NBA draft?"

Thanks Jay!

 

[Good Posting Judge]

at Stu's pronunciation of "Timberwuves."

 

[Moe.]

I do really enjoy Bilas in this. Anyone who acknowledges drinking games on the air is great by me.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Enes Kanter looks like a James Bond villain.

 

[GreatLakesMike]

Damn, was hoping Kanter would fall to the Cavs.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

DX has the next three as Valanciunas, Biyombo and Vesely. #Vitaleaneurysm

 

[Spartans Rule]

Damn, was hoping Kanter would fall to the Cavs.

Personally think Kanter will be the best player out of this draft with Irving a close 2nd.If the Cavs could've got both they'd be rolling.

 

[Kev4029]

So the Jazz now have Millsap, Favors, Jefferson, Kanter and Okur. If they keep all five, thats a hell of a big man rotation. I wonder what it would take to pry Millsap from them.

 

[Joe Summer]

Enes Kanter looks like a James Bond villain.

He's Jason Biggs with a tan.

 

[Abraham]

Knight sliding how far?

 

[Kenny Powers]

Lets get international for the next half hour, y'all

 

[Abraham]

Well then.

 

[Moe.]

aaand we're off

 

[GreatLakesMike]

lol... local radio was saying all day that the Cavs were very enthusiastic about Tristan Thompson. Fooled me.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

WHOA. MF!

I really like Thompson, but wow. Interesting.

 

[Kenny Powers]

So Bilas has Jordan Hamilton as the 6th best left (or 9th best overall)....Really?! I mean, he was a solid college player, but he strikes me as a early 2nd/late 1st rounder..

...and there goes another Longhorn. I was surprised TThompson was projected outside of the top 10...Like his game, reminds me of Bynum with better knees.

 

[Abraham]

Not sure how you pass up a legit center there.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Thompson isnt even 6'9?! Damn, thought he was like 6'11 fo sho

 

[GreatLakesMike]

Not sure how you pass up a legit center there.

Pretty easy. You take the BPA. Drafting for need is a sure way to ruin an organization. Let's hope Grant made the right call.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Not sure how you pass up a legit center there.

'12 is also stocked with great 3's and 4's, so yeah, might not be a good pick in terms of fit. Thompson and Hickson?

 

[Village Idiot]

I am now constructing a Grant doll to burn in effigy.

Great you love Thompson, trade down a little, idiot.

And as for the pick, the guy is an awful free throw shooter and needs tons of work on his face up shot.

At number 4 really? Really?

IDIOTS.

 

[Gr00vus]

Candada really is like Europe Jr.

It would surprise me, but the first thing I thought after Thompson was drafted is that Hickson might be on the move?

 

[Bobcat10]

Hope they trade Thompson.

[Abraham]

If Tristan thompson is the fourth best player in this draft then I'm not sure there is anything left to get excited about. He's a nice power forward. But he isn't anywhere near the talent of favors or cousins, much less an all NbA type IMO.

Or this...

The Cavs are definitely in BPA mode at this point. You didn't really plan your franchise around J.J. Hickson.Now whether Thompson was the best available is a whole nother matter. If they wanted a forward I'd have gone Vesely.

 

[Kenny Powers]

No wonder this Lithuanian is considered such a good prospect. His highlight reel was him making wide open dunks and throwdowns in Istanbul apparently.

 

[Kev4029]

Cliff, how do you feel about having another soft PF/C?

 

[wazoo11]

I have not so strong body

 

[Village Idiot]

Hope they trade Thompson.

I can't even type after that pick.Grant is a moron, the Cavs and their draft family are a ####.
