2009 NBA Draft Thread

[UMFan83]

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

 

No trade as of yet..I'm thinking either they are copying the Detroit Lions model or there is a trade in the works.

[17 Seconds]

they must have accidentally left the computer on auto draft

[hawkeyecub]

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

 

Trade.

 

Or they saw that Rubio looked distraught about the idea of going to Minnesota.

[Smack]

Speedy Claxton... coolest name ever?

[Rusch33]

The Knicks just got railed. hahahaha...

[Tryptamine]

How pissed off must the Knicks be right right now?

[SpongeWorthy]

Golden State continuing their philosophy of acquiring players who have no actual position.

[Tryptamine]

The forwards are slipping; please slip all the way to the Bulls.

knicks take derozan and trade him and the 29th for rubio?

[Exile on Waveland]

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

 

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

 

I love the Harden pick for OKC. He's a unique player (old school is probably too trite) but I think perfect for them with the current roster.

 

I am so confused by Minnesota taking two point guards. Both players I like -- not that I am expert on Rubio -- but I don't really see that. I'm not sure if we can assume trade or not.

[Exile on Waveland]

Oh, I would agree Thabeet's downside is bad. He could be horrible. I'm probably more bullish on him than most on here, mainly because I think he's a great kid. I'm hoping he succeeds.

[Jon]

That little kid giving the thumb's down is easily the highlight of this draft.

[Derwood]

God I love 5 minutes per pick. If the NFL draft moved to 5 per it would be infinitely more watchable

GS drafted Curry for Phx. Suns war room was excited when Flynn was picked because it meant Curry was available. That's the rumor i heard.

[Exile on Waveland]

I'm very bearish on Jordan Hill.

[UMFan83]

I think that OKC is either going to make the playoffs next year or they are going to get so much playoff hype from the media that they will fall flat on their faces.

I thoguht they wanted Jennings, not Curry.

there were rumors on the realgm boards that stoudemire was headed to GS, so that would make sense

[Cubswin11]

Tor. goes with Holiday here?

[Derwood]

Tor. goes with Holiday here?

 

nope

[Tryptamine]

Things are going to start getting interesting with the 11th pick.

i'd say 30-35 wins next year, depending on what we do in FA. Maybe a push for .500 and a playoff spot in 2 years.

[Cubswin11]

Dude is going to probably going to get somewhere between $10-20 mil. and they are telling him how great the public transit system is in Toronto. Really?

[Vanilla Ice]

As a huge Harden fan, I am swearing off the Hornets forever and jumping on the OKC bandwagon

[Cubswin11]

:-k

 

MIL should have gone with Teague, Holiday or Lawson if they wanted a PG there.
