On another note we beat the Pistons tonight. Leave it to us to beat the Pistons but lose to the Celtics and the Wizards terribly.

We beat the Pistons by a ton too, I think it helps that we had the majority of our guys tonight. Plus I usually take early season blowouts with a grain of salt.

further solidifying how much i want a good deal with denver to go down...

preppyak

12/14/06, 03:30 PM

i mean, itd kinda be nice beacuse he played his college ball here, but i dont want him stuck rotting away in philly

and plus id have to buy another jersey cuz i already have his twolves jersey haha
haha...

Though, Philly might be the perfect place for Foye...he could take over and try to become a force at the 2 guard spot...and even if he never makes the playoffs or wins a championship, he could grow as an all-star player just because he would be required to put up big #'s. Plus, if the Sixers can dump salary, they might be able to get a decent young team in there within the next few years...

and, he's already loved in the area due to Nova, so, he'll be an advertising draw none the less
Trade the fucker already.
yeah...i was hoping for something good this week...but, now it seems like it might take a bit

Indiana is offering - Tinsley, Harrison, Daniels, an 08 pick, and Granger. (But they are trying like hell to substitute Granger with Shawne Williams.

Yeah...check out NBAdraft.net for their assumed rankings...the talent pool is good enough that Aaron Afflalo, Alando Tucker, and Curtis Sumpter (A poty canidate) are in the second round right now.

Here's the last solid update, it was posted yesterday:

Not sure how much has changed...it's kind of been quiet for a the past 24 hours so who knows what's going on. Today was a day that has been pointed to since Tuesday passed though as the day things might happen, so maybe something will go down.

I just don't see AI in Miami or LA, he just doesn't seem like the kind of guy who meshes with a 2-star guard system...I mean, maybe he will change to make it work, but especially with Wade who seems to run the Miami show so much, I don't see that working

Yeah...it would be nice to have a dual center front court...let Nocioni/Hinrich/Gordon just do whatever they want, shoot any shot, because Oden/Wallace will rebound it

is he going to enter the draft for sure?
I don't see why he wouldn't. He's easily the #1 pick next year and he knows he will be. I wouldn't pass that up if I were him.
Yeah...he's being labeled a once in a generation prospect...in his first game back, in like 10 minutes, he had what, 5 blocks and 10 points...he's just a force

sorry buddy, but you guys just couldn't match that offer.

just think, this year we'll have 3 first round picks, next year at least one more. and next year we lose something like 40 million in cap space with miller, smith, and webber expiring. the future would look so bright if the guy handling the controls wasn't mentally retarded.

I dunno...I mean, Julian Wright has said he;s coming back for his junior year, and I want to believe him...but by season's end, both of those guy's stocks will be so high that they can't go any higher.

I mean, it's not possible for Oden to go higher than the #1 pick he is now...and if he stays another year and gets hurt again, all of the sudden people might question his longevity...financially it's a terrible decision...and I think Matt Leinart showed very clearly the danger in passing the height of your stock.
