NBA Draft Thread

[LeftWideOpen]

Alright this is only 6 days away and there's probably going be a lot of discussion about it, so I figured I'd make this.

Apparently Denver is trying to move up in the draft and are trying to unload Kenyon Martin and Andre Miller.

They are trying to ship Martin to either Minnesota or New York and Miller to the Celtics, according to Chad Ford.

if barea isnt drafted, the nba is a bigger joke than i previously believed, thats all i have to say.

[LeftWideOpen]

same goes for craig smith.

and yeah, i dont know what the consensus is on barea ...one draft has him going at #35 to Toronto, and the other one (which seems to the better one) has him going undrafted.

Even if he doesn't get drafted, he'll sign as an undrafted FA somewhere. The guy is awesome and has impressed in workouts.

Toronto just hired an Italian League GM as their assistant GM.

This could be an indication that they intend to go w/ Bargnani with the #1 pick.

[Brownpants06]

Trade down raptors, I beg you. Or at least don't take that italion guy now that we have big ned from spurs.

[FondestMemory]

i strongly feel they need to trade down. the can go as low as four, possibly even further and still get their guy.

he may be worth a number one pick, but if they can get him later and pick up a few other things, why wouldn't they?

[StandMyBrothers]

Toronto needs a PG, with James likely to leave

[Dirty Ernie]

sixers need to move iverson and/or webber during this draft...they'll never win if they dont tear it down and build it back up around dalembert/green/korver/igoudala

[Scott Weber]

bobby jones needs to get drafted.

[Broken Parachute]

nbadraft.net has Shannon Brown going 15 and Mo Ager going 20? Wow. I was thinking late 1st round for Ager and high teens for Brown. Happy for them.

Haha, Paul Davis is shown as going 42 to Cleveland. what a fucking waste of 6'11" skin.

(just had to find some team/players i root for to complain about, to bring in my 5k the right way.)

thats awesome, i wouldnt mind him playing for the sixers since then id get to see more of him (even though i hate the sixers). i think he will be even more desirable now by GMs, since they saw DWade lead his team to the title, and randy's game is very comparative to him.


btw, changed my avatar in honor of the draft and randy

The Knicks need to make some serious moves for some middle aged and young talent. These next few years might be tough as a fan.

Part of me thinks Brown should have stayed in school. If he's going this high, he better not be a bust.

[mcfly21]

hey www.hoopshype.com (http://www.hoopshype.com) has stuff on the draft as well

you realize that every team needs to do this?

[Goodbye Forever]

This site has Quincy Douby going to the Knicks at #20. This would be great because...

a) I would actually have a reason to watch the Knicks.
b) My dream of a team consisting of only shoot-first guards would be one step closer to becoming real.

[Caleb Cattivera]

two illini players are likely to get drafted. dee brown should go late first round or early second round. and apparentley augustine has impressed the nets, and they will likely take him.

i will have to get me an augustine jersey.

[bigmike]

Part of me thinks Brown should have stayed in school. If he's going this high, he better not be a bust.
Unless he wanted to be on a bad Michigan State team for another year being not only the primary option, but the only option, and probably draw nightly double teams then he should have returned. Otherwise he should go. and if he's mid 1st round he definitely should go.
