2009 NBA Draft Thread

[hawkeyecub]

So is there no Simmons vs. Ford mock this year?

[Keener98]

Orlando and the Nets are in trade talks with Vince Carter going to Orlando

Also the Lakers have sold their 29th pick to the Knicks

[Keener98]

jamal Crawford has been traded to the Hawks for Acie Law and Speedy Claxton

[Derwood]

Can we just rush through the first 3 picks so we can get to the ones we don't know about?

[Derwood]

1. B. Griffin (LAC)

2. H. Thabeet (MEM)

 

 

yawn

Thank god memphis took thabeet. I was really afraid we'd pick him if he were still there

[RynoRules]

New worst offensive player in the NBA. He makes Aaron Gray look like Bill Walton.

His downside is very scary. There's a reason the Griz suck.

[RynoRules]

GREAT PICK BY OKC!!!

[Derwood]

ha ha ha, no Rubio for OKC

[NonProfitCow]

Harden to OKC

 

:rotfl:

[RynoRules]

Crap - I was really hoping the Bulls could trade up to get Harden. He's going to be great.

I like the Harden pick, his skills mesh well with the roster we have right now.

there are some rumors on the realgm boards that stoudemire is headed to GS and that phoenix really wants to move up and get jennings

[Guest]

I guess they are committed to Russ at PG. That's some mighty fine talent on that roster.

[hawkeyecub]

I agree, I like the way Westbrook/Harden mesh with Durant better than Rubio/Westbrook. I was in love with him at ASU watching the Thursday night Pac-10 games. Until he sabotaged my bracket by not showing up against Syracuse.

 

At the risk of sounding like Bill Simmons, I really wish I could like the Zombie Sonics.

 

Wow Rubio falls right into the T'Wolves' lap.

[Derwood]

Rubio has to move from Spain to Minneapolis. Poor guy

I really cannot wait for next season to start, our roster is leagues better than it was last year at this time.

did he just say "i'm ricky rubio" ?

hells yeah he did

[bukie]

So...why would a team draft 2 point guards?

[Cubswin11]

WTF Minnesota? Maybe they got a trade in the works? 2 PG's, neither of which are that big or that good of shooters that they could get moved to SG. Should have gone with Derozen, Hill or Curry.

they're the timberwolves

[Guest]

Did Minnesota just draft point guards back-to-back or is there a trade that the ESPN.com tracker isn't listing?

i cant figure it out either, unless Rubio is getting moved to the Knicks, maybe
