Yes!
What we post here tonight will determine the future of the team!  ;)

I'm pumped - I love drafts (even the long NFL draft).  Except for the Stephen A. aspect of draft coverage, but I suppose without him it would be so perfect I might die or something.

Good luck, everyone!

Man, ESPN's draft coverage looks like crap in HD.

Most of the players are looking sharp
This is an interesting draft and I want it to start

by SRQman on Jun 28, 2007 6:09 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think
Stephen A Smith will explode before it starts. I don't think he uses a mic either.

How can the Bucks
draft Yi!?

He don't wanna go there, they'll be going through hell with the Chinese govt. Plus they have Charlie Villanueva and Bogut already. It don't make sense to me at all

Yi and us would have been great together

by Option27 on Jun 28, 2007 6:11 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I agree
It would be stupid. If he does not end up on the Bulls I will hope that he lands on a team that I don't hate because I want to root for him. Oh my Dick Vitale is on, I saw him at lunch last week.

I hope for Noah but I expect Hawes.

by lawyeti on Jun 28, 2007 6:29 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Duhon and 9
The Bucks need a PG. The Bucks could then take the best SF on the board and would give them a hell of a front court. I doubt Yi goes to Milwakee. I think Stern will offer them an All-star game not to take him.

This is it
Andy Katz is reporting that the Celtics and Sonics are discussing a deal that would send Ray Allen to Boston in exchange for the #5 pick, Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak.

Ray Allen
and the Celtics are giving up Wally and Jeff Green (whom theyre picking for Seattle)

Here is Ford's skinny on Brewer
"The Bulls would love for Noah to fall to them. If he doesn't, Brewer is a good fit in the Bulls' backcourt. They would prefer to bring Ben Gordon off the bench, and Brewer's defensive intensity would make him a favorite of Scott Skiles."

by LD9 on Jun 28, 2007 6:43 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

"Durant's
an extraordinary talent..." and why do I think he looks like jamie foxx?

by CookDing on Jun 28, 2007 6:46 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Wow
I always thought he looked like someone and that one fits pretty well.

by SRQman on Jun 28, 2007 6:46 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'd love Brewer
I think he's got a chance to be the third best player in this draft.

Noah?  Yuck.  He can play defense and rebound, but he has absolutely no offensive game -- a worse Tyrus Thomas.  

Also, these interviews with the mothers immediately after these kids are drafted are absolutely ridiculous.

by CWSKeith on Jun 28, 2007 6:47 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

so
allen's off to Celts and Seattle's taking Green at 5.
First of all, great move.  Secondly, that helps the bulls alot.

The tension for me
with the picks is entirely in regard to Option27's mental health.  I'm hoping the Bulls draft Yi just to spare him the grief.

oh shit, you got a camera on me?
LOL.

I'm totally freaking out right now pacing until I know where this guy goes. I think 4 and 5 are safe but 6 is what scares the shit outta me. The Bucks or whomever trades up looks like to snag him.

Yi and us would have been great together

by Option27 on Jun 28, 2007 6:51 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

so
thoughts on the celtics stupidly taking allen?

by CookDing on Jun 28, 2007 6:52 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

and trading away
any potential youth and/or cap relief at least another 2-3 years.

by CookDing on Jun 28, 2007 6:52 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That's what a star does
Pierce said he wanted veteran help and he got it. All stars have to do is tell the owners and GMs what they want, and they get it.

if you think about it though, Pierce and Allen and Jefferson is a pretty damn good trio. I don't think the Celts will be that bad. Pierce was out a whole lot last year

Yi and us would have been great together

by Option27 on Jun 28, 2007 6:54 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i dont think its that bad
they didn't want the #5 pick. So obviously they felt there was no one they could build a franchrise around, which i agree with

with their roster, they needed a veteran

and while they are not going to win a title with pierce and allan, it will get them in the playoffs, and maybe even a division title. That will appease much of the c's faithful and maybe help get some more season tix

The additon of allan will appease pierce, and it gives a veteran leader on the team. Finally, it cleared a PG spot from their roster, with the 12 or so they had. This will allow them to truly focus on Allan or rondo or whomeveer the PG of the future is

Finally, thye trade an atrocious contract that epxires in 2 years, wally, for ray allan which they get for 3 years so thats almost lateral.

But here's the flipside; i think seattle was foolish. They drafted 2 SF's (or wings or whatever we're calling them these days), and are talking about resinging lewis...A WING. Not onyl will lewis kill their cap space, but somehow the development of durant/green is going to be limited

by milesgmsu on Jun 29, 2007 3:39 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah
so far I am not really surprised except for the Boston trade, did not see that coming.

It makes sense
for the Bucks to take Noah.  They need toughness, energy, and defense with their frontcourt of Charlie V and Bogut.  Yi and Charlie V might be the bad kind of duplication.  Brewer also makes a lot of sense as a stopper if they think CV can handle things at the 4.

This means Hawes will be available
This means the Bulls will draft Hawes.

Wasn't he the only one to come in for 2 visits?

That must mean they liked him

Given how smart Pax is, I wonder if he's trying to throw teams off?  Just a thought.

and it means he likes him but wanted people to think he likes him and not take him and I have no idea what I am saying.

Brandon Wright...I never seriously consider that.  A two-hundred pound left-handed power forward with braces.  Could be interesting.

If Charlotte doesn't take a big
Pax trades down a few spots.  Probably to Philly so they can take Wright.

Funny
On ESPN draftcast, Hawes is far enough down the "best player available" list that he's not even showing up as one of the poll choices for who Chicago should take.

I like Paxson....but if no major trade is in the
works this is a DREADFUL pick.  You now have three bigs that do not have post moves.  Any idiot watching this team knows we need a low post--threat we still don't have one.

I know what Paxson is doing
I think he realises that any trade in the future, will most likely include one of his beloved bigs. He's just drafting some insurance. Not bad

that the Bulls would pick Noah ever since I read this from his Bulls.com interview:

Bulls.com:  What's your impression of John Paxson and Scott Skiles now that you've had the chance to meet them?
Noah: "I really enjoyed getting to know them. We went to dinner on Thursday night and got a feel for each other. I was definitely interested in what they had to say. They had me do a psychology test and I asked Coach Skiles if that affected his coaching. He laughed and said, `No way.'"
