Official NBA Draft Thread

[xbrokendownx]

well, we have all kinds of threads for predictions, rumors, etc. but we dont have an official one so i thought we could use this one for all the talk about the picks and stuff



remember, the draft gets underway tonight at 7 on ESPN

remember, the draft gets underway tonight at 7 on ESPN

first pick is around 7:30. I probably won't see most of it because of the Sox, but I'll be flipping back and forth between innings.

[Caleb Cattivera]

i am skipping warped tour today to watch the draft.

is that pathetic?

[StandMyBrothers]

i am skipping warped tour today to watch the draft.

is that pathetic?
why? you could always just go watch the draft after warped tour.

[xbrokendownx]

i am skipping warped tour today to watch the draft.

nah i dont think thats pathetic



to me, sports > music anyways.

[ntb60]

Sports and music have always been a toss up for me so I can empathize. I don't get the chance to see concerts all that often here in the middle of nowhere, though so I take advantage of warped tour. Luckily, I get to watch the draft too.

[ntb60]

Who are some of your underrated prospects in the draft? I'd have to go with Leon Powe, Paul Millsap, Vincent Greer and from a biased fans point of view, Marcus Slaughter.

what a fucking sexy ass man :)

[Brownpants06]

I would go to a jays or leaf game over any music concert...

but anyway, yea, go draft. hello bargnani

[Caleb Cattivera]

i could just record it...

but, i havent missed the draft in 10 years. i cant break tradition. warped tour is pretty lame this year anyways. i was just going to hang out, i probably would've watched maybe two bands.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

the best part of the nba draft is the simmons draft diary which comes the next day.

[Brownpants06]

Do any internet sites (or espn.com? even) broadcast the draft? Up here it's on raptorstv that I don't get :/

You answered your own question...

I'm still saying the ugly duckling is going to be the biggest mistake if the Hawks pick him at 5...

And for the first time in a while...this will be a Jayhawk-less draft

[Spicoli hey bud]

Celtics get Telfair and some other players for the #7 pick.

[preppyak]

Celtics get Telfair and some other players for the #7 pick. is that a prediction? I haven't seen that official anywhere yet

edit: Nevermind, right here

Its on the Score homeboy. Hope for your sake you get that.

[preppyak]

Also, here is some buzz I just saw:

"Is the Kevin Garnett era coming to an end in Minnesota? The Bulls and their two first-round picks might have the power to make it happen."

I'd like KG, and we have the team around him to make it go somewhere...I'd take it, puts us top 4 in the East next year easily...and gives us 3-4 years of that type of contention

[xbrokendownx]

damnit, the ONE team i hope foye doesnt go to is portland...

[preppyak]

damnit, the ONE team i hope foye doesnt go to is portland...
They have him as their third option at the moment it seems...behind Roy and Gay

[ntb60]

damnit, the ONE team i hope foye doesnt go to is portland...

Ain't NOBODY who wants to go to that team. I feel bad for the 'stache' because that guy seems sadly destined for the jailblazers. I'm not even that big a fan but the guy is fun to watch and could be great somewhere other than that trainwreck of a team.

[xbrokendownx]

They have him as their third option at the moment it seems...behind Roy and Gay




yeah but now they have the 4th pick and the 7th pick, which is more chances they get him. i doubt gay/roy will be available at 7. theyre pretty much guaranteed to get one of them now though

[Criesofthepast7]

some kid that goes to the same YMCA that i go to is gonna be in the draft tonite. his name is taquan? or something like that.

[xbrokendownx]

some kid that goes to the same YMCA that i go to is gonna be in the draft tonite. his name is taquan? or something like that.





taquan dean, went to louisville. hes from neptune



very good player, dunno where hes projected though

[Brownpants06]

Its on the Score homeboy. Hope for your sake you get that.


what? really? my guide says thats playing horse racing, but if its the draft i'd be super happy. i'll have to check it at 7. thanks

[xbrokendownx]

http://sports.yahoo.com/s/nbadraft;_ylt=AgLkLkgt4jaWkJbei6w_t na8vLYF




check out yahoo's player highlight draft videos...theyre pretty good, like 4 minutes long each. i spotted myself in the student section in some of the foye clips ;)

[Fat Kid Running]

what does everyone think of paul millsap? i think hes one of the most underrated in the draft.

[livethesounds]

i dont know if anybody has posted this, i havetn seen it, but if this actually happens, it will be a horrible trade for phoenix at least in my opinion.
http://www.thenewstribune.com/sports/sonics/story/5882769p-5213267c.html

Suns Get-
Danny Fortson
Rashard Lewis
10th pick

Sonics Get-
Leonardo Barbosa
Shawn Marion
21st pick

[LeftWideOpen]

fuck fuck fuck.

telfair isn't going to make us much better. they were better off keeping the pick and using it on foye or williams.

[xbrokendownx]

if they throw in barbosa, yeah its a bad trade. the suns arent going to be able to pay diaw AND barbosa and be able to keep marion, etc. but if they got rid of both of them, itd be stupid. esp since danny fortson is one of the most useless sacks of shit in the nba

[hockey0001]

im only going to be checking in on the draft to see where all the Uconn players go

[Ratherbedead22]

rumor is that bulls will draft aldridge and marcus williams and wait for the cap to be adjusted on july 1st and then trade for garnett.

kevin garnett would be fucking sweet.

edit: i didnt see preppy yaks post.

[xbrokendownx]

how do they plan on getting marcus williams AND aldridge?

[Ratherbedead22]

how do they plan on getting marcus williams AND aldridge?

williams at the 16th pick.

[LeftWideOpen]

they just reported on the news that the extra players being thrown in are Dickau and Lafrentz.

If we moved Lafrentz, my opinion of this deal changes entirely. That would be the greatest move Ainge has ever made ..his contract was killing us.

[LeftWideOpen]

williams at the 16th pick.

yah and i'm going 22nd.

the nets just called me.

this rumor was mentioned over a week ago and was shot down quick. wont happen. shawn marion could be traded this off season, but it's more likely that it'll happen next season. but one things for sure, he wont be in phoenix much longer.

as for the garnett rumor. wont happen.

guys i just woke up from my nap. im heading to the babcock's house to watch the draft. rob's in town for the week, and is watching with us. talk about awkward...ill be like 'hey rob, remember when you picked arajuo a couple years ago?' him: 'yeah' me: 'yeah, that was a bad idea'. hmmm

[bigmike]

I'm just wondering who shannon brown and mo ager will go to, since the pistons don't have a 1st round pick the draft really isn't too interesting to me. but i'll probably watch some of it, depending on what else is on tv.

oh, and i want to know who get's stuck with the 6'11" marshmallow known as Paul Davis

[preppyak]

as for the garnett rumor. wont happen.
damn...oh well, Aldridge it is then hopefully

On second thought...the Bulls better pick Davis at #2, maybe they'll get lucky and Taj Gray will still be around for the 16th pick as well...that'd be a stellar combo right there

[Caleb Cattivera]

very slight chance the bulls trade would happen. but since you're a bulls fan, don't get your hopes up TOO much. it's kind of risky trading a couple of guys would could possibly be duds in the nba, for one of the top ten players in the leauge. i think it'd be a bad trade for minnesota. in all honestly, i think the best trade wold be one scott mentioned yesterday bosh and the #1 for KG.

[StandMyBrothers]

the Suns aren't going to trade for Fortson, at least I know thats guranteed

[ntb60]

what? really? my guide says thats playing horse racing, but if its the draft i'd be super happy. i'll have to check it at 7. thanks


The draft preview show is on right now.

As for Paul Millsap I think he's a beast but I guess we'll see how he pans out on the big stage.

And the Marion trade better be a hoax for the Suns sake. I just can't see them taking Fortson after dude sued them or whatever a while back.

[ntb60]

Truthfully I think I might just watch to see how badly the Blazers and Knicks foul this up again.

[Caleb Cattivera]

Truthfully I think I might just watch to see how badly the Blazers and Knicks foul this up again.

blazers, sure.

knicks...isiah drafts well.

[Brownpants06]

wow steven a smith (i think thats his name, some espn analyst) is a total dick. he was on tsn and just being a cock to the talk show host about the draft

I love his rant on Charlie Villanueva last year and what a horrible pick that was. Sure looks stupid now. Maybe one of the few smart thing Rob Babcock did in Toronto.

wow, that was a terrible commercial for Mike's Hard Lemonade

[Caleb Cattivera]

*cool brag*

not a brag. i'd brag if michael jordna was sitting across from me.

just saying its weird watching a draft with him. he wasnt the best at drafting in toronto. although, was good in minny.

[preppyak]

So, now is the time to mention I'm sitting across from MJ?

Can't wait to see JJ get boo-ed no matter where he goes, even if it's to NY

[LeftWideOpen]

i'd love if they broke out a "DUI" chant

[preppyak]

and for another post...bwahahaha

People just voted 58-42% that there was a better PG in the draft than Telfaire...who?

Marcus Williams? Lowry?...hell if you consider Foye a PG, I don't even think he is better

[preppyak]

i'd love if they broke out a "DUI" chant
haha...only a matter of time

What i'd really like to see is JJ with a beer at his table

[xbrokendownx]

if redick goes to teh knicks, i will vomit. numerous times

[preppyak]

if redick goes to teh knicks, i will vomit. numerous times
It's looking about 80% likely he will still be around...

I don't think they'll take him...but, who knows

[ntb60]

hahaha. yeah. rob is sitting across from me.

Thats kinda cool.

I'm hoping this stupid draft gets actually underway soon. My word.

[xbrokendownx]

WTF espn show the nickname commercial morrison did! thats teh best one. the crying one is gay

[preppyak]

Ah, there's a name that hasn't come up much...Rodney Carney. Good stuff.

Also, Aldridge, good player, bad actor

[preppyak]

here we go...

David Stern opens it up...less than 5 minutes to go

[StandMyBrothers]

Hurry up and fucking start, 5 mins till we all see who gets picked

[bigmike]

damn...oh well, Aldridge it is then hopefully


On second thought...the Bulls better pick Davis at #2, maybe they'll get lucky and Taj Gray will still be around for the 16th pick as well...that'd be a stellar combo right there
Davis and Taj Gray = Best combo ever. Ever.

[LeftWideOpen]

looks like its Bargnani at #1

1 for 1 in the draft challenge ..wooo!

[LeftWideOpen]

but now i'm probably gonna blow it because I picked Aldridge at #2

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

Wait did Stern open that box?

[preppyak]

Davis and Taj Gray = Best combo ever. Ever.
No doubt...

So, with the first pick, Toronto picks...

Bargnani

[xbrokendownx]

with the first pick in the 2006 NBA draft, the Toronto Raptors select....Andrea Bargnani, Italy



1 for 1!

[StandMyBrothers]

Andrea Bargnani. I knew it

[preppyak]

but now i'm probably gonna blow it because I picked Aldridge at #2
depends...it seems like Tyrus Thomas is the man to go...but, Aldridge is the back up option.

I'd rather have Aldridge personally...but, I'll take either

[LeftWideOpen]

depends...it seems like Tyrus Thomas is the man to go...but, Aldridge is the back up option.

yeah, I'm thinking they'll take Thomas now. I had heard a bunch of stuff about him sliding though, so we'll see.

[preppyak]

He does not rebound, he does not post up, he is not very physical....

I thought they picked Barnani...not Paul Davis

[bigmike]

Boooo.

Should have taken the big frankenstein who doesn't like to get down low in the paint:
http://www.noramsports.com/news/College/Basketball/Tournament/Reports/Photo/PDavis1.jpg
Otherwise known as paul davis.

Basically, this is going to be a rip on Paul Davis every pick fest...with occasional other snide remarks

[bigmike]

and what's the over/under on the number of times that stephen a makes fun of rasto nestervic (spelling?)

[StandMyBrothers]

man I'm like excited for this draft, only because this contest

[xbrokendownx]

wow he speaks better english than i thought he would

[preppyak]

and what's the over/under on the number of times that stephen a makes fun of rasto nestervic (spelling?)
I'm setting it at 4...

And Isaah Thomas mentions (Seperate instances) is at 7...

[StandMyBrothers]

Ya, thats right, Bargnani favorite thing do is playstation!

[xbrokendownx]

oh my god STOP SHOWING US THAT TRADE


fucking isiah thomas

[bigmike]

Ya, thats right, Bargnani favorite thing do is playstation!
now it's going to be "Count my money"

[preppyak]

man I'm like excited for this draft, only because this contest
hahaha...the american dream, guessing games.

This might be an Isaah Thomas mention coming up.

[bigmike]

oh my god STOP SHOWING US THAT TRADE


fucking isiah thomas
what? The knicks still have a franchise? who knew...

[xbrokendownx]

TRADE! there goes my picks

with the second pick in the 2006 NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls select....LaMarcus Aldridge, Texas

[preppyak]

oh shit...Aldridge to Portland, Thomas to the Bulls at 4...wow

THe BLazers are banking on this draft.

Also, Bulls selecting Aldridge is still a correct pick...even if they trade him later...they still chose him at #2 (unless I didn't read rules)

[bigmike]

should have taken thomas, not aldridge.

just kidding. he'll be going to portland.

[LeftWideOpen]

aldridge!!!!

[StandMyBrothers]

well I lost 2 points. why the fuck did I read all those mockdraft analysists.

[xbrokendownx]

SHIT! i got it right, the bulls are gonna get tyrus thomas, but he wasnt second lol damnit

[preppyak]

should have taken thomas, not aldridge.
They are...at #4 via Portland. In a trade

[LeftWideOpen]

thomas at #4? fuck

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

oh shit...Aldridge to Portland, Thomas to the Bulls at 4...wow

THe BLazers are banking on this draft.
Damn, they should've kept Aldridge.

[bigmike]

They are...at #4 via Portland. In a trade
yeah, i just edited it.

this is 1000 times better than the NFL draft with about 4 hours between picks.

[preppyak]

thomas at #4? fuck
Unless the Bobcats take him at 3...which would be hilarious...

I'm saying Gay goes now at 3

[StandMyBrothers]

I take it Portland is getting rid of somebody

[preppyak]

this is 1000 times better than the NFL draft with about 4 hours between picks.
true...this thread is going to fly during the lottery picks

[xbrokendownx]

poop


well now that my picks are prob fucked to shit, PICK RANDY FOYE NEXT! cmon you dumbass GMs

[bigmike]

Unless the Bobcats take him at 3...which would be hilarious...

I'm saying Gay goes now at 3
gay >>>>>>>>>>> morrison, imo. i'd take gay even with his lack of passion problems over morrison.

[preppyak]

I take it Portland is getting rid of somebody
"future considerations" either means picks or mediocre players...

Thought the jump from 2-4 is pretty big, maybe that consideration is a first round pick protected for the lottery (as in it can't be in there)

[LeftWideOpen]

Unless the Bobcats take him at 3...which would be hilarious...

I'm saying Gay goes now at 3

i hope so .. thats who i picked.

[preppyak]

gay >>>>>>>>>>> morrison, imo. i'd take gay even with his lack of passion problems over morrison.
At this point, yes...only because we can't be sure Gay will always lack the heart.

[StandMyBrothers]

I bet you they're going to get rid of Przbilla

[bigmike]

At this point, yes...only because we can't be sure Gay will always lack the heart.
actually, i'd take roy at 3, over gay and morrison.

[preppyak]

I bet you they're going to get rid of Przbilla
Viktor Khryapa (http://insider.espn.go.com/nbadraft/draft/tracker/player?draftyear=2006&playerId=18625) is the name at the moment...who knows about the other names

[fluke182]

Morrison is going #3, they can't seriously take Gay here. Charlotte's MO so far has been take polished players - look at Felton, look at Okafor. You really think they're going to change now and take an upside guy? If they don't take Morrison, they're taking Roy. Btw, I still think the Raptors blew it by not trading out of that spot. Also, I hate that trade for Chicago. I like them more with Aldridge.

[preppyak]

Bobcats take....Adam Morrison, wow

[fluke182]

Adam Morrison Bitches!

[LeftWideOpen]

noooooooooooooooooo

[xbrokendownx]

with the third pick in the 2006 nba draft, the charlotte bobcats select.....Adam Morrison, Gonzaga



now my picks are REALLY gone to shit

[bigmike]

hahaha. they took morrison. losers. :-D

[StandMyBrothers]

Adam Morrison, I definately lost this contest. This should of been GAY

[fluke182]

We should have had a side pool on whether or not he would cry. That definitely deserves shoes.

[preppyak]

Also, I hate that trade for Chicago. I like them more with Aldridge. Good call

And yeah, Aldridge is great, but his questionable toughness in the Scott Skyles system is a good point

And who would Toronto trade too...nobody wanted to trade up

[xbrokendownx]

off topic, but i like the bobcats symbol/colors.

if they are healthy this year, they can make a run at the playoffs in the east

[StandMyBrothers]

Viktor Khryapa (http://insider.espn.go.com/nbadraft/draft/tracker/player?draftyear=2006&playerId=18625) is the name at the moment...who knows about the other names
I meant that they're definately not resigning him

[LeftWideOpen]

rudy gay is going to sliiide now. i bet the blazers snatch him up at #7.

aldridge and gay would be a pretty nice draft.

[ntb60]

with the third pick in the 2006 nba draft, the charlotte bobcats select.....Adam Morrison, Gonzaga


I think this is a terrific pick. Dude can score like a machine. It'll be a rad upcoming team. Fun to watch with him.

[fluke182]

ESPN just had the third pick listed as Maraker from Pacific. That would have been a hilarious pick there.

[bigmike]

I think this is a terrific pick. Dude can score like a machine. It'll be a rad upcoming team. Fun to watch with him.
dude will not live up to being the 3rd pick in the draft.

[StandMyBrothers]

off topic, but i like the bobcats symbol/colors.

I wanna see Gerald Wallace play a full year

[preppyak]

rudy gay is going to sliiide now. i bet the blazers snatch him up at #7.

aldridge and gay would be a pretty nice draft.
yes it would

[fluke182]

Btw, I say it right here. Adam Morrison = Rookie of the Year. 100%.

[bigmike]

we're getting closer to the hawks taking Sheldon Williams and Caleb crying like adam morrison.

[StandMyBrothers]

I think this is a terrific pick. Dude can score like a machine. It'll be a rad upcoming team. Fun to watch with him.
According to one of those ESPN guys, he can't guard a bank with a machine gun. I hope he goes to my local bank

[bigmike]

Btw, I say it right here. Adam Morrison = Rookie of the Year. 100%.
I'll say it right here: Brandon Roy = ROY.

[StandMyBrothers]

Btw, I say it right here. Adam Morrison = Rookie of the Year. 100%.
I say you're wrong. I say its Roy

[xbrokendownx]

Randy foye = ROY

with brandon roy a close 2nd

[preppyak]

Btw, I say it right here. Adam Morrison = Rookie of the Year. 100%.
I disagree, Roy will take that. Adam Morrison will be up there though.

we're getting closer to the hawks taking Sheldon Williams and Caleb crying like adam morrison.
hahaha

[Brownpants06]

According to one of those ESPN guys, he can't guard a bank with a machine gun. I hope he goes to my local bank


haha i laughed when they said that.

[LeftWideOpen]

I'll say it right here: Brandon Roy = ROY.

sleeper ROY: Ronnie Brewer.

But my money is on Foye.

[preppyak]

hahahah...Rage Against the Machine...that's classic

[xbrokendownx]

oh god not dick vitale


lets see how many times he mentions redick

[fluke182]

I'll say it right here: Brandon Roy = ROY.
Brandon Roy will be a better player, but Roy is going to go to the Wolves at 6. I don't buy that he will score enough to take it from Morrison, who is going to be dropping 18+ points a game. Rookie of the Year more than any award is statistics based.

[bigmike]

haha "morrison said he cried when rage against the machine broke up"

[preppyak]

sleeper ROY: Ronnie Brewer.

Only if he ends up as the 3rd guard in Chicago...otherwise he'll have too much pressure elsewhere

[bigmike]

Brandon Roy will be a better player, but Roy is going to go to the Wolves at 6. I don't buy that he will score enough to take it from Morrison, who is going to be dropping 18+ points a game. Rookie of the Year more than any award is statistics based.
yes. i know how it's handed out. but Roy > Morrison. Roy will win it.

[preppyak]

oh god not dick vitale


lets see how many times he mentions redick
over/under is at 20

[xbrokendownx]

with the 4th pick in the 2006 nba draft, the portland trailblazers select...Tyrus Thomas, LSU

[preppyak]

and the Bulls have Tyrus Thomas

[bigmike]

and the Bulls have Tyrus Thomas
good Thomas > Adridge in my mind.

[StandMyBrothers]

If Roy goes to Minnesota he is lucky too, McCants might not even play next year

[preppyak]

haha, my girlfriend just tried to start a serious conversation with me (she's a virgin, we've been having sex talks basically), and I asked her to wait until after pick 16 so I can see who the Bulls get

[fluke182]

Thomas is such a talent, watching him kill Duke was hilarious, and I'm a Duke fan. With that said, I still say Aldridge was a better fit with Chicago. Mike, do you really think Roy is going to score more than 12 a game this year? I just don't see it, even if he does average 12, 5, 5.

[xbrokendownx]

hahahah yesssss stephen A ripping on portland

[bigmike]

hahahahaha Stephen A making fun of portland. I love that. hahhahahahahah

[xbrokendownx]

if ben wallace goes to the bulls, they will be beastly

[LeftWideOpen]

pleaaaaase atlanta, make no sense and pick Gay so that it doesnt screw up the rest of my board.

[preppyak]

if ben wallace goes to the bulls, they will be beastly
true...but Chandler is a poor man's Wallace, since Wallace isn't an offensive threat (Though we don't need one really). Ideally I'd like to add a little offense up front as well, take some pressure off the guards

[bigmike]

haha, my girlfriend just tried to start a serious conversation with me (she's a virgin, we've been having sex talks basically), and I asked her to wait until after pick 16 so I can see who the Bulls get

what a reach. i dont get this

[fluke182]

Shelden is going to be a beast, I'm still convinced. He won't be 20 points, but he's going to be 14 to 16 and 10.

[StandMyBrothers]

Why do you need another forward?

[bigmike]

hahah, cue dicky v is right.

[xbrokendownx]

oh my god shut up vitale

[preppyak]

cue Dick Vitale
hahaha, and there he is

Shelden is going to be a beast, I'm still convinced. He won't be 20 points, but he's going to be 14 to 16 and 10.
Excpet who takes him in the top 10...nobody. Trade down and get him

[LeftWideOpen]

did Dan Patrick just really ask a Duke alum if Williams was the right pick?

[preppyak]

did Dan Patrick just really ask a Duke alum if Williams was the right pick?
Well, he's assume he was drunk and would tell the truth...

[xbrokendownx]

Come On Minnesota Pick Randy



btw im 1/5 in the picks. although i had the right team for tyrus thomas lol

[LeftWideOpen]

maybe atlanta is trying to bring the whole moneyball thing into the NBA by going w/ 4 year college kids?

[fluke182]

The Hawks COULDN'T take Gay. They do not need another small forward. They needed someone that plays big, they got him. On another note, this Morrison commercial is gay as hell. I like the guy, but he's starting to annoy me.

[StandMyBrothers]

haha yes this horrible adam morrison commerical

[bigmike]

did Dan Patrick just really ask a Duke alum if Williams was the right pick?
it's like asking michael jackson if having kids sleeping in your bed naked is right.

[preppyak]

btw im 1/5 in the picks. although i had the right team for tyrus thomas lol
trying to beat my March Madness record?

haha yes this horrible adam morrison commerical
true...he doesn't sound tough, at all

[Vincewithouthee]

This draft class is so weak.

[xbrokendownx]

did anyone see the nickname one morrison did? its pretty funny actually

[preppyak]

This draft class is so weak.
disagree...you can still pick up a good player at 15 or 16 easily...

There are no marquee franchise guys...but I think Rome said it earlier today, don't mistake the lack of superior talent for a lack of talent

[LeftWideOpen]

please take roy ...

please take roy ...

please take roy ...

[bigmike]

agreed.

[bigmike]

i bet caleb threw a big fit and started hxc dancing and knocked the babcocks out cold.

[xbrokendownx]

with the 6th pick in the 2006 nba draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves select....Brandon Roy, Washington



at least i get points in the contest for this

[fluke182]

Roy or Foye. It's...ROY!

[LeftWideOpen]

Hahaha Yes!

[bigmike]

and roy goes to minny

[StandMyBrothers]

Good job Minnesota!!!

[preppyak]

agreed.
Yep, like between Thomas and I assume Brewer or Lowry, the Bulls have a solid team and bench, thanks to this draft.

And there goes Brandon Roy

[LeftWideOpen]

now the Blazers should pick up Foye and then they have there replacement for Telfair.

[xbrokendownx]

portland, PLEASE DONT PICK FOYE!


omg id cry

[preppyak]

portland, PLEASE DONT PICK FOYE!


omg id cry
now the Blazers should pick up Foye and then they have there replacement for Telfair.
This is the intelligent move...thus, they take someone else

[bigmike]

portland, PLEASE DONT PICK FOYE!


omg id cry
what's the over/under on the kids that portland picks, get caught with a gun at the airport or with a pound of pot? i'm going with it'll happen by december.

[StandMyBrothers]

what team thinks Marcus williams is going numbet 16? thats downright pathetic

[fluke182]

So far ESPN has the draft exactly right. They will be wrong here, the Blazers won't take Gay. They're going to take Foye.

[xbrokendownx]

what's the over/under on the kids that portland picks, get caught with a gun at the airport or with a pound of pot? i'm going with it'll happen by december.





haha it wont happen with foye, but i can see their other picks

[preppyak]

what team thinks Marcus williams is going numbet 16? thats downright pathetic
He's gone in the lottery...but if he's there at 16...I hope the Bulls pass. They have Hinrich and Duhon to pass, they need more scoring

[bigmike]

I don't know how jay bilas can talk around foye's cock that's planted firmly in his mouth.

[ntb60]

what's the over/under on the kids that portland picks, get caught with a gun at the airport or with a pound of pot? i'm going with it'll happen by december.

Its kind of predestined I think. And Jay Bilas just said he thinks Foye will be the ROY next year. Kinda an odd thing to say when he's not even drafted yet.

[preppyak]

I don't know how jay bilas can talk around foye's cock that's planted firmly in his mouth. well, it's a talent he learned many times during last year's season

The analogy is

Vitale - JJ as Bilas - Foye

[bigmike]

Its kind of predestined I think. And Jay Bilas just said he thinks Foye will be the ROY next year. Kinda an odd thing to say when he's not even drafted yet.
he'll be going in the lottery. just because he wasn't a top 6 pick doesnt mean he can't be a ROY

[bigmike]

well, it's a talent he learned many times during last year's season

The analogy is

Vitale - JJ as Bilas - Foye
ahh, i got ya.

[LeftWideOpen]

you think Gay wishes he stayed in school and took a chance at a monster season?

even with the class next year, he could break the top 3 or 5 with a breakout season

[ntb60]

he'll be going in the lottery. just because he wasn't a top 6 pick doesnt mean he can't be a ROY


Oh yeah for sure. I know he could be and I know he'll be drafted but the ROY is often determined by the team you get drafted by.

[xbrokendownx]

with the 7th pick in the 2006 nba draft, the Portland Trailblazers select....Randy Foye, Villanova

[fluke182]

Good Pick!

[LeftWideOpen]

foye! wooooooooooooo

4/7 in that challenge

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

hehe

[bigmike]

and foye goes #7.

[xbrokendownx]

fucking shit, i dont want randy playing in portland...

[xbrokendownx]

JAY WRIGHT you are SO SEXY!

[LeftWideOpen]

for all the crap the blazers have taken tonight ....coming out with foye and aldridge isnt too shabby.

[bigmike]

well. the only thing now, is to count the days before he get's caught with a gun or pot or threatens the life of the coach or something. it's like the bermuda triangle. you get caught up in and lose your mind.

[preppyak]

haha, Dicky V wants in on a threesome with the Foye cock

[fluke182]

Man, I wish I hadn't went insane on my projections so I could be different than everyone because I did it late. I've gotten all 7 right so far, even if I am just announcing it to the TV.

[LeftWideOpen]

shut up dickie v, foye is not dwayne wade ...

theres about 1 guy in basketball thats better than wade ...foye isnt that good.

[bigmike]

haha, Dicky V wants in on a threesome with the Foye cock
haha. yeah. i don't know if there's enough foye cock to go around though. so he may have to just settle for jj.


haha stephen a "I don't know about you guys but i feel bad for him. He's in portland instead of minnesota or boston" ahahahaha

[xbrokendownx]

shut up dickie v, foye is not dwayne wade ...

theres about 1 guy in basketball thats better than wade ...foye isnt that good.




my facebook picture is a picture of wade = a picture of foye with a question mark hahaha :D

[bigmike]

shut up dickie v, foye is not dwayne wade ...

theres about 1 guy in basketball thats better than wade ...foye isnt that good.
he'll be good.

he won't be d-wade.

[fluke182]

The beginning of that interview reminded me of Jerry Maguire with Roy Firestone making every football player cry like a baby.

[xbrokendownx]

houston will take rudy gay and trade him for shane battier

[bigmike]

battier to houston for #8 pick (rudy gay)

[LeftWideOpen]

Gay is going to Memphis ...interesting deal.

[fluke182]

Battier > Gay. Now, in the future and forever.

[preppyak]

Rudy Gay = the anti-Matt Leinart...may have come out a year too early

[ntb60]

with the 7th pick in the 2006 nba draft, the Portland Trailblazers select....Randy Foye, Villanova


Don't cry. Maybe him and LaMarcus will turn things around? Maybe? Anyone?

[LeftWideOpen]

i like that move for the Grizzlies.

[xbrokendownx]

golden state should pick patrick o bryant now

[bigmike]

Don't cry. Maybe him and LaMarcus will turn things around? Maybe? Anyone?
yeah man.

and tomorrow i'm going to grow to be 7'9" and be the number 1 pick next year instead of Greg Oden.

[xbrokendownx]

Don't cry. Maybe him and LaMarcus will turn things around? Maybe? Anyone?




ehh, this was the ONE team i didnt want him to go to. not to mention ill get to see him play maybe twice all year, when he comes to philly, nj, and ny. which sucks

[StandMyBrothers]

Battier on Houston, thats pretty cool

[LeftWideOpen]

golden state should pick patrick o bryant now

i agree ...i want to see: O'Bryant, Carney and Brewer in the next 3 picks.

[preppyak]

i agree ...i want to see: O'Bryant, Carney and Brewer in the next 3 picks.
No...I want him to be ther at 16...his defense would be a huge addition to the Bulls

[ntb60]

ehh, this was the ONE team i didnt want him to go to. not to mention ill get to see him play maybe twice all year, when he comes to philly, nj, and ny. which sucks


You still got Kyle Lowry and maybe Allan Ray to stay in state.

[LeftWideOpen]

No...I want him to be ther at 16...his defense would be a huge addition to the Bulls

i would be reaaalllly surprised if he stayed till #16.

[bigmike]

yes stu scott, rudy gay is actually going to give the answer "you're right, i'm a lazy fuck who doesn't want to work to be a great player. i'd rather be home sleeping or something." of course he's going to say the lack of passion rumors aren't true.

[fluke182]

Brewer is DEFINITELY going to Orlando. He will be a great fit there, him and Jameer will be a perfect backcourt combo. The Magic are definitely making the playoffs next year.

[xbrokendownx]

yeah i know. im REALLY hoping the knicks or nets take lowry.



and ARay will be going in the 2nd round, probably somewhere in the 40s

[LeftWideOpen]

dickie v seriously kills me ...

every rookie is going to be the best player in the league.

[bigmike]

Brewer is DEFINITELY going to Orlando. He will be a great fit there, him and Jameer will be a perfect backcourt combo. The Magic are definitely making the playoffs next year.
yup on the back of Darko who would look good at C here playing next to sheed if/when big ben leaves.

[fluke182]

yes stu scott, rudy gay is actually going to give the answer "you're right, i'm a lazy fuck who doesn't want to work to be a great player. i'd rather be home sleeping or something." of course he's going to say the lack of passion rumors aren't true.
Now THAT would be a great interview. Did Vitale seriously just call Gay a workaholic? Did he forget who he was talking about? Does anyone else think he was looking at a picture of JJ Redick next to the camera the whole time?

[ntb60]

golden state should pick patrick o bryant now


If they pick O'Bryant they'd better be prepared to wait a little while. Dude's raw.

[preppyak]

Brewer is DEFINITELY going to Orlando. He will be a great fit there, him and Jameer will be a perfect backcourt combo. The Magic are definitely making the playoffs next year.
damn

dickie v seriously kills me ...

That's his style...there is no cock he won't take

[xbrokendownx]

warriors take o bryant, like i thought

[LeftWideOpen]

YEAH! O Bryant

[fluke182]

That big, lanky fucker. I loved him in the tourney, good pick Golden State.

[preppyak]

oh god...terrible pun alert

[xbrokendownx]

LWO, you basically won the contest already

[preppyak]

holy shit, hwo did I post 50 times in here already...I just noticed my post count went from around 7000 to 7100+

[fluke182]

yeah i know. im REALLY hoping the knicks or nets take lowry.



and ARay will be going in the 2nd round, probably somewhere in the 40s
I love ARay, I want him to go to the Pacers. He will make a team in the second round VERY happy. He is so fast and he will be a killer off the bench, I could see him as a Ben Gordon-lite, sort of coming off the bench and being the Basketball Closer.

[fluke182]

Did those fuckers really just say "news of another really big deal" and go to commercial. I'm going to kill Dan Patrick.

[StandMyBrothers]

Im villa....hahah scrwed up
You're watching the espn on draft espn haha

[LeftWideOpen]

LWO, you basically won the contest already

yeah until i blow every pick left, haha.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

someone IM me when barea gets drafted in the 2nd round.

[xbrokendownx]

stu scott just called him bryant

[xbrokendownx]

Foye To Minnesota!




THANK THE LORD!

[Caleb Cattivera]

oh dang. crazy trade.

[LeftWideOpen]

wtf? Minnesota and Portland switching picks?

why didnt minnesota just take foye?

[preppyak]

wow, Roy to Portland nice...that's a stupid trade really though, just to swap picks

[fluke182]

Tell us the trade! Come on! Here we go...WTF! PORTLAND GETS ROY! Why did this trade happen? How? Why would the Twolves do that? They get nothing for that!
