Day Before The Draft. Rumors Are Heating Up

[Caleb Cattivera]

boston is discussing sending dan dickau and the 7th pick to the blazers for sebastian telfair. if the celtics do keep the pick, they'll draft foye. or shelden williams if the hawks dont take him at number five.

tyson chandler and the 16th pick for troy murphy, pietrus, and and the ninth pick is looking more real today.

alot of gm's think tyrus thomas will be the second pick.

the raptors are very unclear as to who they're taking. bargnani seemed like a lock for a couple of days, but now they may be leaning more towards rudy gay.

Nice....that would give us the chance to grab another Guard and a Center within the first 10 picks, while getting rid of the offensive void that is Chandler

[LeftWideOpen]

i'll be pissed if we wind up w/ telfair ...i'd much rather the duhon deal or picking foye at #7 if he's available.

[FondestMemory]

i just heard it reported that toronto is down to bargnani or lamarcus aldridge. with rudy gay also getting some consideration.

it did say that they plan on keeping the pick though.

i don't buy it.

my money is still on Bargnani. This is all probably manuevering to see if they can get a team to grossly overpay for the pick.

i still see something happening between them and portland with thomas going first and the italian ending up in toronto at 4.

that's just me though. if that doesn't happen, my entire list is fucked.

[xbrokendownx]

fucking shelden williams

when the hell did he become top 5? i really dont think this guy will be better than foye, roy, etc

Breaking news: Toronto has traded the #1 pick and Chris Bosh to Minnesota for Kevin Garnett. Should be confirmed within the hour.

no fucking way!

holy scott

[xbrokendownx]

so who is minny gonna take with the #1 pick then?

[bigmike]

so who is minny gonna take with the #1 pick then?
wow. why would someone want to trade up to #1 in this draft?

[FondestMemory]

Breaking news: Toronto has traded the #1 pick and Chris Bosh to Minnesota for Kevin Garnett. Should be confirmed within the hour.

that's crazy. not that i'm doubting you, but what's your source?

i love garnett and all, but toronto's getting hosed if this is true.

garnett needs a team around him. putting him right back in the same situation he's in now isn't going to benefit anybody.

especially if you're giving up a player with nothing but upside and the ability to add another player with loads of potential beside him.

[preppyak]

Breaking news: Toronto has traded the #1 pick and Chris Bosh to Minnesota for Kevin Garnett. Should be confirmed within the hour. taht would be nuts...

But, who do you take to replace those him?

[Scott Weber]

hahah I'm totally fucking with you guys.

[preppyak]

hahah I'm totally fucking with you guys.
haha...I hate you.

[bigmike]

hahah I'm totally fucking with you guys.
oh, you jokster scott.

if it wasn't toronto being involved, i wouldn't have believed it. but i could see them doing it.

[xbrokendownx]

hahah I'm totally fucking with you guys.





aw poop

thats good i guess, cuz if that trade went down id prob have to move my picks around

[LeftWideOpen]

hahah I'm totally fucking with you guys.

DUDE! i practically suffered a stroke. my face started going lop-sided and i couldnt feel my left arm.

and i dont even like the NBA or either of those teams that much, haha. That trade would have just been insane.

oh shit. hahaha. amazing.

and actually...it wouldnt be a bad trade.

[itsjdiggity]

:moose:

[Scott Weber]

Hah yeah, I thought I came up with a somewhat feasable trade considering KG is in 85% of all trade rumors in the NBA.

[Caleb Cattivera]

Hah yeah, I thought I came up with a somewhat feasable trade considering KG is in 85% of all trade rumors in the NBA.

yeah, and some people call bosh the poor man's garnett. i'd do the trade.

[FondestMemory]

yeah, and some people call bosh the poor man's garnett. i'd do the trade.

i wouldn't.

poor man's garnett or not, he's a younger version of him.

bosh for kg straight up? maybe. but bosh and the top overall pick? no way i'd do that.

and like i said earlier, i wouldn't trade for garnett to be my franchise. he needs a team around him.

so in short, he needs to come to cleveland. and that's the only trade i'd take.

[Scott Weber]

yeah, and some people call bosh the poor man's garnett. i'd do the trade.
I'd do it if Tyrus Thomas does indeed become the next Amare Stoudamire, except more complete.

[sweethypocrisy]

hahah I'm totally fucking with you guys.
hahahaha

[LeftWideOpen]

latest reports have Redick falling out of the lottery and maybe even the Top 20.

oh god if hes there isiah is going to take him

[Scott Weber]

oh god if hes there isiah is going to take him
ahhh you changed your name. i hate that so much.

[xearlynovemberx]

ahhh you changed your name. i hate that so much.

sorry scott:(

[xbrokendownx]

oh god if hes there isiah is going to take him






oh my god dont even say that...

[xearlynovemberx]

oh my god dont even say that...

haha you know its true

[xbrokendownx]

haha you know its true






oh i know it is, thats why im terrified of it actually happening...

[xearlynovemberx]

oh i know it is, thats why im terrified of it actually happening...

i hope kyle lowry and hilton armstrong are around when it comes to the knicks picking

[bigmike]

i hope kyle lowry and hilton armstrong are around when it comes to the knicks picking
they can be around, but that doesn't mean the knicks will actually have the sense to take them.

[xbrokendownx]

i hope kyle lowry and hilton armstrong are around when it comes to the knicks picking





i would really love those 2.


lowry is not NBA ready yet, but in a few years i think he will be a stud.

and as much as a hated hilton armstrong in college, hes just the type of player the knicks need

[Caleb Cattivera]

actually, isiah drafts well. its just when it comes to trades and free agent signings that he fucks up.

[xbrokendownx]

eh i guess thats true.

i like nate robinson and frye, and i liked ariza before we traded him because larry brown refused to play him. scott leyden on the other hand, was TERRIBLE at drafting

[xearlynovemberx]

actually, isiah drafts well. its just when it comes to trades and free agent signings that he fucks up.

pretty much. so cal you think isiah will draft armstrong and lowry if they are still around?

[Caleb Cattivera]

pretty much. so cal you think isiah will draft armstrong and lowry if they are still around?

possibly. armstrong is a possibility. but washington and utah both pick before the knicks and are looking for big men too. i wouldnt be surpised to see washington take him.

[xearlynovemberx]

josh boone wouldnt be that bad i guess

[Caleb Cattivera]

eh i guess thats true.

i like nate robinson and frye, and i liked ariza before we traded him because larry brown refused to play him. scott leyden on the other hand, was TERRIBLE at drafting

isiah actually didnt draft nate rob, but traded for him. which that trade turned out pretty bad. q rich didnt do much this past season, he was in that trade as well.

david lee showed that he has potential to be a good player too.

also isiah is responsible for drafting damon stoudamire, t mac and camby in toronto.

[xbrokendownx]

josh boone wouldnt be that bad i guess




YES he would.

i will flip a shit if we draft josh boone

[StandMyBrothers]

According to sources in the NBA, the Sonics have received multiple offers for Mickael Gelabale. Teams are wiling to give up lower-level first-round picks for the Sonics second-round draft pick of a year ago. It is unlikely the Sonics would part with Gelabale (javascript:newwind('http://www.nba.com/sonics/news/06draftblog.html','981')).

[Scott Weber]

Josh Boone fucking sucks.

[xbrokendownx]

Josh Boone fucking sucks.





truer words have never been spoken

I think, in the end, Morrison will go #1 and will get traded to Charlotte for #3 Bargnani, the guy the Raptors REALLY want, plus someone else. Also, the Hawks will probably move down to pick Shelden. It's pretty crazy though; the picks are almost all toss-ups, compared to other years when we've had clear #1s, etc.

PLZ DO THIS

[Brownpants06]

Colangelo was just on TSN interview and basically said they we're down to 2 guys to pick tomorrow. My guess would be Bargnani and Aldridge. Then they made him do a little talk on each of the top 4 guys.

Bargnani - Praised him - I think he's going Number 1
Thomas - "Needs offensive work, great athlete"
Aldridge - Friends with Bosh great guy etc etc
Morrison - Most NBA ready, gonna have a great career - not much interest from him

[h0merg0mez]

I haven't even gone to espn.com but once; all their draft stuff is "Insiders". I've read from other sources, and their ideas sounded good.
