Bulls get the #1 pick! 2008 NBA Draft Discussion

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The Cavs are going to have to choose between Arthur and Koufos. I'm not optimistic Ferry will make the correct decision.

[hawkeyecub]

The first of the 6 that the Pistons are targeting is gone.

 

Reportedly it's Hickson, Ibeka, CDR, D.J. White, Dorsey (puke) and McGee.

I could listen to Brook Lopez talk for hours. And by listen I mean try to keep from falling over laughing.

 

Are you gonna be laughing when your boys draft Koufos?

i'll be laughing... at them

I won't be injecting heroin in my forehead on Ferry's doorstep like if they had taken Hibbert, but I won't be happy. Why does my NBA team keep needing KU power forwards to have success?

[hawkeyecub]

Even with a trade Jackson has praise for everyone.

[JimSorgi]

Why do the Pacers want Jarrett Jack? Is he any good?

[tfarks]

I liked Rush and wanted him after Bayless but there is no way I would have made that trade. Ahhh why couldn't they have just taken Hibbert and called it a day.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Is there a trade? Where's Stern?

[CubColtPacer]

He's a pretty good backup point guard. I guess Jack is now the insurance in case Ford goes down. He's certainly not a guy who I would expect to see as a target of a swap in draft picks like this.

[snoodmonger]

Is there a trade? Where's Stern?

 

Hickson, NC State. Is he any good?

[snoodmonger]

Arthur has really fallen in this draft.

[hawkeyecub]

Charlotte is going to luck into Arthur. Although I could see MJ liking Jordan and then laugh when Larry Brown loses his mind.

You a Pacers fan?

[tfarks]

Well we gave up Bayless which was just stupid. At least Rush is a good player and has a good outside shot - Bird did say he wanted polish over potential. I hope this trade doesn't come back to bite us. I'll stop complaining now its time to go drink.

yup

Hickson, NC State. Is he any good?

 

I don't think his upside is any greater than Arthur's, although neither of them will be stars. At least they didn't take Koufos.

[JimSorgi]

If Oden stays healthy, the Trailblazers are going to go undefeated in a few years.

[snoodmonger]

Jeebus. I wonder if those reports about Arthur having kidney issues are true.

[hawkeyecub]

Bird would ask for Josh McRoberts.

[chuckywang]

Ahhhhh ... McRoberts, now the trade makes sense.

[CubColtPacer]

McRoberts makes the salaries closer, but it still doesn't quite work in the trade machine (a little more than 100,000 off). I'm wondering how they will get that worked out.

[shnsajax]

If Oden stays healthy, the Trailblazers are going to go undefeated in a few years.

 

Its tough to tell if a 52 year old man can stay healthy for 82 games just in the regular season though.

[JoshiQ]

I'm starting to feel really bad for Arthur and Chalmers...well, for Arthur.

 

CHALMERS! WE NEEDED YOU FOR ONE MORE YEAR!

[TruffleShuffle]

lol josh mcroberts... i remember saying that i'd be really surprised if mcroberts went in the lottery, and someone then replied and said that he was definitely going to be picked that early. only missed the lottery by what, like 25 picks?
