Your nattily attired #1 pick:

http://i25.tinypic.com/2196vdu.jpg

You mean, the over-hyped #1 pick? In 5 years people are going to ridicule Chicago for passing on player X, just like they ridiculed Portland for taking Sam Bowie.

[Ultra Peanut]

You are retarded.

[HolmeZz]

Clips have apparently traded up to #4 with Seattle dropping back to #7.

[Ultra Peanut]

Clips have apparently traded up to #4 with Seattle dropping back to #7.Crap, I thought they'd sit it out and hope for Gordon to fall to them.

[DaKCMan AP]

Clips have apparently traded up to #4 with Seattle dropping back to #7.

Could that be a precursor to a Elton Brand and #4 for Shawn Marion and #2 trade? :hmmm:

[keg in kc]

All I want to know is if the stage is going to explode and fall on David Stern shortly after the final pick.

[ChiefsFanatic]

You are retarded.

I think that Chicago is just stupid for taking Rose #1. In a wide open offense, he averaged 14.9 points per game. With a superstar laden team, Mario averaged 12.8. As the teams main point guard, Rose averaged 4.7 assists per game. Mario, playing shooting guard averaged 4.3 assists per game. Rose shot 34% from 3-point range, Mario 47%. Rose shot 48% from the field, Mario 52%.

I am not saying Mario should go number one, but Rose is such a product of media hype, it makes me sick. He was listed as 6'3" in college, but at the combine was 6'1".

Does that sound like someone that should be the #1 pick? I know you are a Memphis guy, but come on.

[HolmeZz]

Could that be a precursor to a Elton Brand and #4 for Shawn Marion and #2 trade? :hmmm:

And then Miami takes who at #4? Either Mayo or Bayless?

[DaKCMan AP]

And then Miami takes who at #4? Either Mayo or Bayless?

Yep. I'd still rather just keep Beasley, deal Marion and then sign a big FA in 2009 or 2010.

[Ultra Peanut]

Does that sound like someone that should be the #1 pick? When factoring in all of the stuff you conveniently left out? Yes.

[noa]

Does that sound like someone that should be the #1 pick? I know you are a Memphis guy, but come on.

Aside from the missed free throws at the end, the way Rose played in the second half of the championship game showed he is a special player. It was ugly, but when he knocked down that three off the backboard, I knew that this was a guy who could just score in any way possible, no matter what it took.

[HolmeZz]

Considering I think Mayo's pretty overrated, I'd rather just take Beasley at #2 as well.

[Direckshun]

Celts need a center!

[ChiefsFanatic]

When factoring in all of the stuff you conveniently left out? Yes.

What did I leave out? His leadership? What?

[HolmeZz]

Rose is clearly the right choice for Chicago IMO, but I don't think they're in much of a spot to get criticized anyway. They absolutely lucked into having the #1 pick. It's possible the pick doesn't pan out down the road, but there's not much that can be said negatively about their pick right now.

[Ultra Peanut]

What did I leave out? His leadership? What?Leadership, speed, athleticism, strength, court vision, the way Memphis' offense works leading to assists being a poor representation of passing and court generalship, the fact that he was a freshman rather than a junior... aside from that stuff, they're totally the same.

Aside from the missed free throws at the end, the way Rose played in the second half of the championship game showed he is a special player. It was ugly, but when he knocked down that three off the backboardIt was a two. It was originally a three, but they went back and reviewed the video after a stoppage and determined that one foot was inside the arc when he launched himself backwards.

God ****ing damnit.

[HolmeZz]

Celts need a center!

Depends who's on the board. I hate taking a big body for the sake of taking a big body. I kinda like Courtney Lee.

[noa]

It was a two. It was originally a three, but they went back and reviewed the video after a stoppage and determined that one foot was inside the arc when he launched himself backwards.

God ****ing damnit.

Oh yeah, forgot that. There was a stretch there where it seemed that no matter how closely KU was on him, there wasn't anything you could do to stop him from scoring.

[The Rick]

Bucks traded Yi and Bobby Simmons to New Jersey for Richard Jefferson. What do you guys think? Who won and who lost?

As I said in another thread, Bobby Simmons was a bust and I'm glad to see his contract go. I'm a little unsure about giving up on Yi though...

[Archie Bunker]

I'm eager to see what Pritchard can do with all those picks and limited roster space. Should be an interesting night for us Blazers fans.

[HolmeZz]

Bucks traded Yi and Bobby Simmons to New Jersey for Richard Jefferson. What do you guys think? Who won and who lost?

As I said in another thread, Bobby Simmons was a bust and I'm glad to see his contract go. I'm a little unsure about giving up on Yi though...

That's a weird deal.

I think there are going to be a ton of trades tonight.

[eazyb81]

UP, give me your rankings for the Grizzlies' pick at #5.

[Ultra Peanut]

UP, give me your rankings for the Grizzlies' pick at #5.1. Mayo
2. Trade up for Beasley or down for more picks (the rumored deal with Charlotte to pick up #9 would be nice).
3. Westbrook
4. Gordon
5. Draft Love and sob.

[The Poz]

Bucks traded Yi and Bobby Simmons to New Jersey for Richard Jefferson. What do you guys think? Who won and who lost?

As I said in another thread, Bobby Simmons was a bust and I'm glad to see his contract go. I'm a little unsure about giving up on Yi though...

Simmons is a bust who couldn't stay healthy while Yi didn't want to be in Milwaukee whatsoever. If Jefferson stays relatively healthy out there with Redd, Bogut, Charlie V and a solid #8 overall pick, the Bucks can certainly be a hell of a lot better than they've been in the past few years.
I like the move.

[ChiefsCountry]

For the Kings I think we are looking at either Anthony Randolph, Darrell Arthur, or DJ Augstine.

[DaKCMan AP]

Apparently the Clipps-Sonics deal is OFF

[Ultra Peanut]

Apparently the Clipps-Sonics deal is OFFSweet. Maybe the Grizz can end up with Westbrook.

[Ceej]

I like the idea of having 3 former KU Jayhawks in the first round.


Before you chime in DaKCMan, it wasn't as nice as UF alums the year before. :)

[eazyb81]

Sweet. Maybe the Grizz can end up with Westbrook.

What's the deal with Westbook? He seemed like just a role player with UCLA, but now he's a legit top five pick?

[ChiefsFanatic]

Leadership, speed, athleticism, strength, court vision, the way Memphis' offense works leading to assists being a poor representation of passing and court generalship, the fact that he was a freshman rather than a junior... aside from that stuff, they're totally the same.

Well, I have been here for 8 years, and you have been here for 7 years, so hopefully in 5 years we can look back on this and see who was correct.

[Ultra Peanut]

What's the deal with Westbook? He seemed like just a role player with UCLA, but now he's a legit top five pick?He's a fantastic defender and a good athlete with a high basketball IQ. He also has the ever-appealing upsiiiiiide, but in this case I really think it's deserved due to his work ethic and the way he was kind of a late bloomer.

Well, I have been here for 8 years, and you have been here for 7 years, so hopefully in 5 years we can look back on this and see who was correct.Preview:

I will.

[CoMoChief]

Soooooo, what will KU's team look like next season?

I say 25 wins

[BWillie]

Don't do it Chicago..Don't do it. You can't pass on Beasley. Don't make another stupid mistake like trading away LeMarcus Aldridge and then going out and getting Tyrus freaking Thomas. Don't let me tell you I told you so

[BWillie]

Soooooo, what will KU's team look like next season?

I say 25 wins

10 seed. 22-11. It's going to be ugly. Real ugly. Especially if Collins is wearing a white and black stripes playing street hoops in Leavenworth with my boy Mike Vick

[Basileus777]

I just hope someone falls to 10. Its a shame that we (the Nets) didn't swap picks with the Bucks as part of the Jefferson trade. As it is now the Bobcats are likely to take anyone we are interested in.

I don't know how I feel about the rumors of us trading up to 5 for Love or Gallinari.

[Ultra Peanut]

Trading up for Gallinari is sort of like cutting line to eat a shit sandwich.

[DaKCMan AP]

Rumor, although unlikely, of Rudy Gay, Mike Conley and #5 for #2. That's the best offer I've heard yet..

[Basileus777]

Rumor, although unlikely, of Rudy Gay, Mike Conley and #5 for #2. That's the best offer I've heard yet..

That would definitely be the best offer. I'd seriously consider that if I was Miami. Rudy Gay is a player, Mike Conley could be the Heat's pg of the future, and at 5 they could grab someone like Love or Lopez.

Its probably false though.

[ChiefsFanatic]

10 seed. 22-11. It's going to be ugly. Real ugly. Especially if Collins is wearing a white and black stripes playing street hoops in Leavenworth with my boy Mike Vick

Yeah, taking no less than third in the Big 12, still getting a bye in the Big 12 Tournament, and still getting an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament is a steep price to pay for a National Championship.:thumb:

[Ultra Peanut]

Rumor, although unlikely, of Rudy Gay, Mike Conley and #5 for #2. That's the best offer I've heard yet..Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

The Grizzlies turned down Lowry, Miller and #5 for the #2.

[DaKCMan AP]

Rumor, although unlikely, of Rudy Gay, Mike Conley and #5 for #2. That's the best offer I've heard yet..

Clarification: Riley told Memphis they'd trade them the #2 - for Rudy Gay and Mike Conley. What this means is that the #2 is not being traded and the Michael Beasley will be a stud for the Heat. :thumb:

[DaKCMan AP]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

The Grizzlies turned down Lowry, Miller and #5 for the #2.

From what I heard is the Heat wanted Conley, not Lowry and that's where that discussion ended.

[ChiefsFanatic]

Burke: "What have they (Chicago Bulls) told you?"

Rose: " It would just be dream to play in my hometown."

He is sharp, no doubt about it.

[ChiefsFanatic]

Gotta love those ESPN commercials (except for the baseball ones)

[Spott]

I hope Beasley goes to Chicago. I don't see any logic in drafting another point guard when they desperately need a low post scorer.

[ChiefsFanatic]

Colleen Dominguez - MILF me

[chiefs1111]

Burke: "What have they (Chicago Bulls) told you?"

Rose: " It would just be dream to play in my hometown."

He is sharp, no doubt about it.

Yeah I got a good little laugh out of that as well

[ChiefsFanatic]

Yeah I got a good little laugh out of that as well

I gave you rep and added four boxes for you.

[DaKCMan AP]

I hope Beasley goes to Chicago. I don't see any logic in drafting another point guard when they desperately need a low post scorer.

Not happening.

[Tiger's Fan]

Well, lets see just how stupid the brain trust in Chicago is.

[ChiefsFanatic]

Well, lets see just how stupid the brain trust in Chicago is.

Well, the did hire Vinny Del Negro as their coach, so does that answer your question?

[Ultra Peanut]

Did Riley give the Bulls some money to take five minutes to announce this pick?

[Spott]

As much as I like the Bulls, they have screwed up just about every draft for the last 10 years.

[DaKCMan AP]

With the 1st pick of the 2008 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls select Derrick Rose, PG Memphis.

[ChiefsFanatic]

He didn't win #39 did he, you DUKE bitch!

[Ultra Peanut]

**** yes. You deserve it, Derrick.

He didn't win #39 did he, you DUKE bitch!Well, aren't you the sore winner.

[Spott]

Damn, what a stupid pick.

[DaKCMan AP]

My Miami Heat are on the clock.

[Tiger's Fan]

Yep, as stupid as I thought. Ladies and gentlmen, Chicago is the new Portland!

[chiefs1111]

I gave you rep and added four boxes for you.

Thank you ,greatly appreciated

[Ultra Peanut]

Yep, as stupid as I thought. Ladies and gentlmen, Chicago is the new Portland!
Damn, what a stupid pick.
Savin' dis shit.

[Spott]

I can't believe they took this choke artist for the #1 pick.

[ChiefsFanatic]

Well, aren't you the sore winner.

No, I just hate all the Rose hype, and once again it reminds me of the Final Four, and how you could not understand any of the announcers because they had either Tyler Hansbrough or Derrick Rose's nuts in their mouths.

[DaKCMan AP]

Miami Heat select Mike Beasley, FTW!!!!

[Ultra Peanut]

Aww, I was hoping Riley would go batshit and take Mayo or something.

[Ultra Peanut]

I can't believe they took this choke artist for the #1 pick.Yes. Missing a couple of free throws completely negates the whole "godlike basketball player" thing.

[DaKCMan AP]

Now trade Marion!

[chiefs1111]

Does Mayo go 3rd to the wolves????

[ChiefsFanatic]

Yes. Missing a couple of free throws completely negates the whole "godlike basketball player" thing.

Godlike? he could only hit 38% from three in college, what do you think he will shoot from three in the NBA?

[ChiefsCountry]

Now Chicago can trade Hinrich or Gordon, Rose was the smart move for them.

[chiefs1111]

Now trade Marion!

Who out there is interested in Marion???

[Ultra Peanut]

Godlike? he could only hit 38% from three in college, what do you think he will shoot from three in the NBA?And he only averaged 4.5 rebounds per game, too! HOLY SHIT!

[DaKCMan AP]

Who out there is interested in Marion???

Miami's reportedly has already received overtures from the Raptors, Pacers, Clippers and several other teams.

He has a huge expiring contract which makes him attractive to a lot of teams.

[Ultra Peanut]

Come on, McHale. You know you want Love.

Edit: Damnit. Why must you do the right thing, asshole?

[DaKCMan AP]

Wolves select OJ Mayo.

[ChiefsCountry]

Mayo and Jefferson will be a good combo for the T-Wolves.

[ChiefsCountry]

Oklahoma City is up

[SithCeNtZ]

Mayo is the most NBA ready. He already takes terrible shots and shoots 45 times to score 20 points a game.

[Tiger's Fan]

Yes. Missing a couple of free throws completely negates the whole "godlike basketball player" thing.

LMAO godlike. A very short Sherron Collins made him his bitch. The NBA will laugh at this guy.

[chiefs1111]

Miami's reportedly has already received overtures from the Raptors, Pacers, Clippers and several other teams.

He has a huge expiring contract which makes him attractive to a lot of teams.

O yeah, I remember hearing about the clippers,maybe the heat trying to trade Marion for Elton Brand or something like that..

[DaKCMan AP]

No, looks like it was traded away. Clippers got the spot now.

That trade was nixed.

[ChiefsFanatic]

And he only averaged 4.5 rebounds per game, too! HOLY SHIT!

Oh yes, Psi, that is absolutely Godlike. My bad. :huh:

[Coach]

That trade was nixed.

Apparently so....

[ChiefsCountry]

I love how all the stupid KU fans hate Rose.

[Ultra Peanut]

LMAO godlike. A very short Sherron Collins made him his bitch. The NBA will laugh at this guy.18 points, 8 boards, 6 assists... God, he was awful. His terrible second half performance was why Kansas won by 40.

Oh yes, Psi, that is absolutely Godlike. My bad. :huh:He'll never be an All-Star power forward with numbers like that. :sulk:

[chiefs1111]

Damn, Seattle has six draft picks

[DaKCMan AP]

Sonics select Russell Westbrook.

[Ultra Peanut]

GOD DAMNIT

[chiefs1111]

Westbrook

[ChiefsCountry]

Intresting. I figured they would go Bayless.

[Ultra Peanut]

ABORT, CHRIS WALLACE! ABORT! TRADE DOWN TO SOME LOVE-LOVING TEAM OR I WILL CUT YOU!

[ChiefsCountry]

Griz are up. Who do they take Love? Bayless? Lopez?

[the Talking Can]

poor Mayo...could have been chillin in Miami and playing with Wade...


now he's just in Minnesota......lol

[chiefs1111]

Griz are up. Who do they take Love? Bayless? Lopez?

hmm thats a good question, I say they take Lopez or Love,tough call though

[the Talking Can]

ABORT, CHRIS WALLACE! ABORT! TRADE DOWN TO SOME LOVE-LOVING TEAM OR I WILL CUT YOU!

you'd rather have Lopez over Love?

cause rumor is they like Lopez.....ughh

[ChiefsFanatic]

18 points, 8 boards, 6 assists... God, he was awful. His terrible second half performance was why Kansas won by 40.

He'll never be an All-Star power forward with numbers like that. :sulk:

He did play a heck of a National Championship, no doubt about it. Once again, we are back at this wait and see thing. I will try to keep my Memphis hate...err...Derrick Rose hate under control from now on.

[ChiefsFanatic]

Sonics select Russell Westbrook.

This one just amazes me. Wow. Good thing they have 5 more picks.

[the Talking Can]

ku fan...i love Rose....definetly the right call for Chicago

[Buehler445]

ABORT, CHRIS WALLACE! ABORT! TRADE DOWN TO SOME LOVE-LOVING TEAM OR I WILL CUT YOU!

ROFL

[Ultra Peanut]

It's just like the Chiefs. Why does ESPN target my teams for commercial breaks?

you'd rather have Lopez over Love?

cause rumor is they like Lopez.....ughhFuuuuuuuuck no. Jesus Christ, no.

[chiefs1111]

I think theyll go with Love

[DaKCMan AP]

Memphis selects Kevin Love.

[ChiefsCountry]

Love to the Grizzlies.

[Ultra Peanut]

¡GAY LOVE!

I eagerly await seeing that fatass trundle about and become a solid-but-never-great player.

[chiefs1111]

The Knicks are up

[the Talking Can]

Love to Memphis!

rejoice or cry....not a bad pick, I think...

[noa]

ku fan...i love Rose....definetly the right call for Chicago

Same here. I don't know why any KU fan would dislike him. He played great during the game, plus his missed free throw set up the greatest play in KU history.
I don't think Chicago will regret this decision at all.

[ChiefsCountry]

By the way draftexpress.com's mock right is 100% dead on.

[the Talking Can]

if any ku fans are curious, i have

Arthur 11 (probably too high)
Rush 13 (Portland trades with someone who wants Rush)
Chalmers 17

[ChiefsCountry]

Hopefully Bayless falls to the Kings.

[chiefs1111]

Hopefully Bayless falls to the Kings.

wouldnt be surprised if the knicks took him here

[DaKCMan AP]

Knicks select the Italian.

[chiefs1111]

wow

[Ultra Peanut]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[chiefs1111]

and of course they boo lol

[the Talking Can]

boo that man!!

[ChiefsCountry]

New York fans are a bunch of retards.

[Coach]

Not sure why NY picked him.....

[the Talking Can]

thas sounded like drunk Bostonians booing the King of England....lmao

[chiefs1111]

lol "The Rooster"

[noa]

Not sure why NY picked him.....

I guess Mike D'Antoni knows him well from reading mock drafts that projected him going to the Knicks.

[chiefs1111]

I guess Mike D'Antoni knows him well from reading mock drafts that projected him going to the Knicks.

hmmm well that makes sense then.....

[ChiefsCountry]

He fits D'Antoni's system as well.

[DaKCMan AP]

Clippers select Eric Gordon

[chiefs1111]

Eric Gordon to the Clippers,no surprise there

[Ultra Peanut]

The ClipShow got their guy (or one of them) without having to trade up.

[DaKCMan AP]

Bayless keeps falling

[the Talking Can]

"I dont kno so much tings....i no understand zee englis

[Ultra Peanut]

"I dont kno so much tings....i no understand zee englis"I must break you."

[DaKCMan AP]

Bucks select Joe Alexander

[chiefs1111]

wow,didnt see that coming

[ChiefsCountry]

Alexander to the Bucks, plus back to back to back white guys.

[Ultra Peanut]

Joe Alexander. Oh my God.

Milwaukee, you retards.

[ChiefsCountry]

wow,didnt see that coming

Been rumored for about 2 weeks now according to most mocks.

[the Talking Can]

Lopez falling like Javon Walker in an alley....

[ChiefsCountry]

Draftexpress.com is still perfect 8 for 8. Bayless to the Kings please.

[Ultra Peanut]

Alexander to the Bucks, plus back to back to back white guys."This is the NBA Draft instructional video that gets results."

http://i27.tinypic.com/2mhikuh.jpg

[DaKCMan AP]

Lopez and Bayless falling...falling..falling

[chiefs1111]

Lopez falling like Javon Walker in an alley....

lol,good one

[Ultra Peanut]

At this rate, Robin is going to leapfrog Brook.

[ChiefsCountry]

Lopez will go to either the Bobcats or the Nets.

[chiefs1111]

This has got to be Lopez

[Ultra Peanut]

Hooooooly crap.

[chiefs1111]

wow

[DaKCMan AP]

Bobcats select DJ Augustin


WHAT!!!!!!!!!

[DaKCMan AP]

trade in the works?

[ChiefsFanatic]

Lopez falling like Javon Walker in an alley....

LMAO

[chiefs1111]

I bet Lopez goes to the pacers

[Ultra Peanut]

Lopez looks like he's been accused of rape.

[ChiefsCountry]

Wow, I thought this would be the Kings pick at 12. Maybe we do get Bayless.

[BWillie]

F*ck you Bulls. F*ck you. You just made the biggest mistake of your entire life, ever.

[the Talking Can]

wtf?

Augastin?


Lopez is crying into his Lion King blankie...

[Buehler445]

if any ku fans are curious, i have

Arthur 11 (probably too high)
Rush 13 (Portland trades with someone who wants Rush)
Chalmers 17

OK, I know NOTHING about the NBA draft, but I'll take a stab.

I'd probably take Rush higher than Arthur because he has a much more polished game and is one hell of a smooth ball player. Plus he brings a lot to the table defensively.

Arthur has a lot of talent but tries to be a big man to much. I think he needs to develop his midrange game in order to be more effective.

Chalmers, I don't know. He is a defensive monster and a good kid. His shot in the NC shot him way up. I'd say you probably have him too high, not sure though.

[chiefs1111]

Wow, I thought this would be the Kings pick at 12. Maybe we do get Bayless.

Its really starting to look that way.....

[chiefs1111]

well its making more sense that Lopez should go to the Nets

[DaKCMan AP]

Nets select Brook Lopez

[Ultra Peanut]

Robin looks less than enthused.

[ChiefsCountry]

How ironic would it be if the Pacers draft Brandon Rush?

[chiefs1111]

well he can stop crying now lol seriously though this will be a good pick for them i think

[the Talking Can]

nets take the guy who almost cried

[ChiefsCountry]

nets take the guy who almost cried

You know how millions he has lost tonight? I would be crying to.

[chiefs1111]

How ironic would it be if the Pacers draft Brandon Rush?

Thats a good possibility Or maybe Bayless to them,I know they were really high on DJ Augustine

[DaKCMan AP]

Thats a good possibility Or maybe Bayless to them,I know they were really high on DJ Augustine

Why would Indy want Bayless or Augustine? They have TJ Ford and Tinsley.

[Coach]

You know how millions he has lost tonight? I would be crying to.

He'll get over it.

[ChiefsCountry]

I'm going to say that Pacers take Koufos from Ohio State.

[Ultra Peanut]

Brook has a voice for newspapers.

[DaKCMan AP]

Pacers select Jerryd Bayless

Hopefully a trade..

[ChiefsCountry]

Damn it Pacers. Damn you Larry Bird.

[Ultra Peanut]

Indiana, you so lucky.

[the Talking Can]

no brainer

[chiefs1111]

Why would Indy want Bayless or Augustine? They have TJ Ford and Tinsley.

I think they are trying get rid of Tinsley from what ive been hearing

[noa]

Yeah, Pacers are definitely going to get rid of Tinsley

[ChiefsFanatic]

Those Lopez twins sure sound smart.

[chiefs1111]

Bayless to the Pacers..

[the Talking Can]

Brook Lopez sounds like Spiccoli....oh my....

[ChiefsCountry]

Arthur or Randolph for the Kings.

[the Talking Can]

Why would Indy want Bayless or Augustine? They have TJ Ford and Tinsley.

because bayless is better than both of them

[noa]

I would like to see Rush end up with the Suns

[the Talking Can]

lopez is killing me....

image the dumbest surfer ever, with a nasal blockage....

[ChiefsFanatic]

because bayless is better than both of them

I just think Bayless is over-rated.

[Ultra Peanut]

Brook Lopez sounds like Spiccoli....oh my...."Mongo only pawn in game of life."

[Basileus777]

Brook Lopez **** Yeah!!!

[ChiefsCountry]

Isnt Stanford one of the best academic schools in the country?

[chiefs1111]

Isnt Stanford one of the best academic schools in the country?

Yep

[DaKCMan AP]

Isnt Stanford one of the best academic schools in the country?

so?

[the Talking Can]

"Mongo only pawn in game of life."


...that's it...correct

[MIAdragon]

I think they are trying get rid of Tinsley from what ive been hearing


The Tin Man is garbage

[DaKCMan AP]

Kings select Jason Thompson

WTF?

[chiefs1111]

The Kings take Jason Thompson...?????????

[Dunit35]

wow...

[chiefs1111]

I really didn't think he'd go this high at all

[the Talking Can]

huh?

Arthur is going to fall big time....he really screwed up his visits....

[ChiefsCountry]

so?

Then how did two idiots like the Lopez twins get in.

[chiefs1111]

Jay Bilas says he's "solid"

[Coach]

Oh my cow. That one came out from left field....

[ChiefsCountry]

Kings are the Chiefs of the NBA. They always pick the WTF pick.

[Coach]

huh?

Arthur is going to fall big time....he really screwed up his visits....

He should had stayed in school.

[DaKCMan AP]

Then how did two idiots like the Lopez twins get in.

1. I haven't called them idiots
2. They play basketball
3. They didn't graduate. They were there for basically 1-2 semester.

[chiefs1111]

Then how did two idiots like the Lopez twins get in.

Maybe they did some "favors",lol

[Dunit35]

He should had stayed in school.

Couldn't agree more. I don't know why people didn't tell him he wasn't ready.

Well, I didn't think he was ready but what do I know.

[the Talking Can]

He should had stayed in school.

no, he just should have hired an agent...he had his parents representing him, and he missed workouts without notifying teams....just stupid


we was a lottery pick after the season.....

[ChiefsCountry]

1. I haven't called them idiots
2. They play basketball
3. They didn't graduate. They were there for basically 1-2 semester.

I know you havent, but they come off like a bunch of idiots.

[DaKCMan AP]

Blazers select Brandon Rush

[chiefs1111]

Hey Dakcman,Im a fellow gator fan... where do you think Maurice Speights will go?

[Dunit35]

Badass.

Good for him.

[chiefs1111]

wow,rush to the Blazers

[noa]

no, he just should have hired an agent...he had his parents representing him, and he missed workouts without notifying teams....just stupid

we was a lottery pick after the season.....

Yeah, coming off his performance in the championship game, I had no doubt that he would go pro. What more did he have to prove? He just screwed it up from there.

[DaKCMan AP]

I know you havent, but they come off like a bunch of idiots.

To be fair, most of the guys drafted tonight would never be in college if they couldn't play ball.

[SPchief]

He looks thrilled

[the Talking Can]

Rush to Portland!!!!

Sweeet!!

great match....

[Dunit35]

If you can get Oden back, Portland should be decent this year.

[Coach]

no, he just should have hired an agent...he had his parents representing him, and he missed workouts without notifying teams....just stupid


we was a lottery pick after the season.....

I disagree. His game has improved, but not to a point where he could have been in the top 10 the following year.

Of course, Arthur being an idiot, this doesn't surprise me.

[Ultra Peanut]

1. I haven't called them idiots
2. They play basketball
3. They didn't graduate. They were there for basically 1-2 semester.And Brook missed the first part of the season because he forgot to sign up for his classes.

[Dunit35]

I disagree. His game has improved, but not to a point where he could have been in the top 10 the following year.

Of course, Arthur being an idiot, this doesn't surprise me.

If he would've stayed he could've made his stats even better with the young team KU will have.

[DaKCMan AP]

Hey Dakcman,Im a fellow gator fan... where do you think Maurice Speights will go?

Soon.

[Bearcat]

Sucks for Arthur... well, not really. He was great in the NC game, and even surprised me with his speed running the court.

He looks thrilled

He never looks thrilled.

yeah, he probably could of improved his stock, but i doubt he wanted to spend another day in a classroom......

Warriors select Anthony "stick" Randolph

[chiefs1111]

The Warriors select Randolph from LSU,no surprise there

[Coach]

Rush = The next Clyde the Glide?

[the Talking Can]

Rush is my favorite player since Pierce....

Randolph? ha ha .....that guy makes Tyrus Thomas look like Larry Bird...

[noa]

It would be cool if Phoenix took Chalmers.

[chiefs1111]

Warriors select Anthony "stick" Randolph

Wow,you weren't kidding when you said "stick"

[Buehler445]

Yeah, Arthur is a toolbox, but damn he can ball.

[chiefs1111]

He needs to get in the weight room badly

[Dunit35]

What's randolphs size? I wasn't paying attention.

[DaKCMan AP]

Suns select Robin Lopez

[chiefs1111]

The Suns take Robin Lopez.........

[ChiefsFanatic]

Wow,you weren't kidding when you said "stick"

He said he took on the biggest players from each team, please. He will get the crap beat out of him in the NBA.

[DaKCMan AP]

What's randolphs size? I wasn't paying attention.

He's about 6'11" but only 197lbs

[the Talking Can]

Randolph sounds like Smokey Robinson....

Suns with the "eh" pick...............

[the Talking Can]

ugh...rumors of Rush traded to Indiana.....that sucks for him, and me

[Ultra Peanut]

How can their mom be so well-spoken?

[the Talking Can]

What's randolphs size? I wasn't paying attention.

6'11

34 lbs

[DaKCMan AP]

ugh...rumors of Rush traded to Indiana.....that sucks for him, and me

Jarrett Jack, Josh McRoberts and the #13 pick (Rush) for #11 (Jerryd Bayless)

[the Talking Can]

"The Blazers will send the rights to Rush and Jarrett Jack to the Pacers for the rights to Bayless and Ike Diogu.
Chad Ford is reporting this."

[Dunit35]

He's about 6'11" but only 197lbs

Seriously? Hes got to look pretty funny.

[BWillie]

Go Jailblazers! Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, Lemarcus Aldridge and now B friggin Rush. A force to be reckoned with this year. They have the slasher, the finesse big, the banging big, and now a spot up 3 point shooter and lock down defender.

[DaKCMan AP]

Sixers select Marreese Speights, FLORIDA

[chiefs1111]

The 76ers select Speights from UF

[BWillie]

"The Blazers will send the rights to Rush and Jarrett Jack to the Pacers for the rights to Bayless and Ike Diogu.
Chad Ford is reporting this."

Oof. Damn it!

[Ultra Peanut]

Nice pick by Philly.

They just traded away the rights to Rush LMAO

[chiefs1111]

I still think he should of stayed for at least one more year

[Dunit35]

"The Blazers will send the rights to Rush and Jarrett Jack to the Pacers for the rights to Bayless and Ike Diogu.

Thats dumb. I'd keep Rush, but I'm a KU fan.

[BWillie]

Why does everybody hate Arthur? Good athleticism, can score on command and is young. He would be a perfect fit in a running fast paced NBA offense like New York or New Orleans. Alot of people for get, if it wasn't for Arthur, KU wouldn't have won the championship either.

[DaKCMan AP]

Bayless-Roy-Outlaw-Aldridge-Oden

SICK

[the Talking Can]

Arthur in free fall...................


Portland with Roy, Bayless, Aldridge, Oden.....pretty sick

[BWillie]

Robin Lopez to PHX? I guess they are totally going to revamp that old D'Antoni offense and make it boring slow and sluggist. Robin Lopez is f*cking horrible. Honestly, not really any better than Sasha Kaun.
