I bet Stern waited on purpose to announce the Bulls-76ers trade during the Knicks pick.

 

Haha, the Knicks take a [expletive]. And a bad pick at that.

Paxson really went for broke. Both picks are gambles on how much they develop.

 

They will, in my opinion, regret not taking Brandon Roy. Roy will be the ROY and an excellent player. This happens every year. Happened with Wade (no I am not saying Roy is Wade), Chris Paul, etc. Teams are afraid to pass on a potential star instead of taking the guy that can be a consistent threat.

 

Keep drafting on pure potential Bulls. I thought we stopped that crap after the HS kids and all the Euros didn't pan out. Guess we're at it again.

 

Because guys drafted on potential never turn out to be stars.

 

(I preferred Roy too, but you're overgeneralizing.)

 

Fair enough, but they aren't exactly churning out stars (see Curry, Eddy and Chandler, Tyson) with their "potential guys". They've done much better with established college players. I can't wait to see lazy ass Rodney Carney play for Scott Skiles.

Who was picked on potential over Paul? Marvin Williams? Deron Williams was selected because he is was better than Chris Paul.

 

Poll ten NBA execs and ask them which guard they'd rather have WIlliams or Paul and if less than 8 say Paul I'll be shocked.

The Bulls traded away Carney for Sefolosha.

 

Haha, trade up for Rondo? Wow, Boston. What's wrong with you?

YES, PLEASE TRADE UP AND TAKE RONDO

 

wow, this is like Christmas day

 

Watch your boy get taken one pick ahead. (And Jordan somehow returns to UCLA. :P)

 

The numbers are in my favor, there's no way that there's not a good pick out there for him.

He won't, he was traded.

 

Oops. The tracker I was looking at hadn't updated.

New Jersey was rumored to be very interested in Farmar...but, Williams is still available. I think they take Williams.

 

looks like NJ has 2 straight picks.

Renaldo Balkman has Dennis Rodman-like potential. He'll be a crowd favorite from day one. A decent pick for the Knicks, except for the part about how they could have had him early in the second round.
