So Very Bored

I remember draft night. Webber had this look of confusion when the trade got announces. I guess it was because of all the numbers.

 

When Chris went to Washington, didn't the Warriors get a few first-round picks for him, too?

Yes they received Tom Gugliotta and three future first rounders in the same years they gave up to get Webber which were 1996, 1998, and 2000. They traded Gugliotta only a few months later for Donyell Marshall.

Can you remember who they drafted with those picks? It seems the Warriors have been in a state of limbo every since Run TMC, and even then they only lasted a round or two in the playoffs.

You know I haven't been able to find a good site for archived basketball transactions to trackdown what exactly happened with those picks. Now they drafted another stiff center in Todd Fuller in 1996 but I'm not sure if that pick was the pick picked up in the trade with Washington. In '98 they had the draft day trade with Toronto swapping Vince Carter for Antawn Jamison and cash. In 2000 they ended up not having a first round pick.

 

What's really a shame with the Warriors is that unlike with baseball and football there is no split fan base here in the Bay Area for basketball. This area would go absolutely nuts if the Warriors have a championship calibar team. Hell even the slightest bit of opptimism like before this year and tickets sales sky rocket. They set a club attendance record this year for a team that won 34 games simply because they had an outside shot at a #8 seed coming into the season and had a halfway decent start to the season. That's how starved this place is for a good basketball team.

The 1996 pick was Todd Fuller.

 

The 1998 pick was Vince Carter, who wound up in Toronto as was mentioned.

 

Those two picks were involved in both deals. The Wizards got the 1996 pick from Orlando in a deal invovling Scott Skiles. How they got the '98 pick, I'm not sure.

 

The 2000 pick that went from GS to Orlando was Mike Miller.

 

The 2000 pick that went from Washington to GS was sent to Chicago in a three-way deal, which sent Toni Kukoc to Philadelphia, and Larry Hughes and Billy Owens to GS. The Bulls also got John Starks and Bruce Bowen. The pick ended up being Chris Mihm, who was then sent to Cleveland for the rights to Jamal Crawford.

 

I can't believe Haskin had a win share. He played what, 15 games in his career?

Great link.

 

I think it must have been this game that ended helping Haskin pick up a Win Share. 7 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks in 17 minutes. Hey his 40 minute rebound average was 11.8, too bad he only played 186 career minutes.

Acie Earl, i thought he bounced around the league long enough to scrape together more than 6 win shares, but i guess not. Probably mixed him up with AC Green.

 

And it turns out he actually scored 40 points once, i wouldn't have guessed that.

It probably helped that he was on the expansion Raptors. He did it against the Celtics I suppose to show up his former team up. Raptors lost 136-108.
