Trade Denver trades to rights to Jarrett Jack to Portland for the rights to Linas Kleiza and Ricky Sanchez.

Cleveland trades Jiri Welsch to Milwaukee for a future 2nd-round pick. It came up on the draft bottom line.

Bucher says the Robinson pick might go to the Knicks in the Thomas/Q-Rich deal.

And now I have to listen to Doc Rivers. This night just keeps getting better!

Oh yeah, go to commercial right before OUR pick, you cunts.

SAS doesn't like the foreigners

Wow, all the way through the top 10 with no foreigners? EDIT: nm, Bogut's an Aussie. duh

What do you know, Jim Gray covering for the Lakers.

I'm a little late, I kind of spaced on the starting time (7 Eastern is 6 Indiana from April-October). The draft post is updated.

So you guys are saying that Pippen and Stockton were on the same level as Aaron McKie?

Explain how Ewing is above Barkley, please.

I'm glad I caught this thread, I was just about to post the '96 one in the draft thread. Reading this guy's take, you'd think the Sixers made some kind of Joe Barry Carroll deal by taking Iverson or something. Here's a quote "Beats out Bryant in MVPs, scoring titles and jersey sales but lags well behind in the things that win games." You mean like sharing the court with another superstar your entire career and then missing the playoffs immediately when said superstar leaves? Iverson carried the Sixers to the Finals in 2001. Aaron freakin' McKie was the No. 2 offensive threat on that team. He was every bit deserving of the MVP trophy he won that year. Name me one other person that's carried a team of scrubs like that to the Finals.

PRL, can you clear out your PM box.

Assuming NYU has everyone's PPV matches by then, of course. I call main event for this week.

Wait, Sly is an actual poster?

This is the one I was talking about.

NYU is right. This is... wait for it... UNFUCKING CALLED FOR.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2094261 Wow. Here's hoping the Mayor has a speedy recovery and there's no serious problems.

You have to find the Dirk Lego

That was someone else that had that argument with Sass.

That's "he" as in Hoff, I believe. I just sent a promo...the beginning isn't my best stuff, but hopefully I redeemed myself with the ending.

Jack Haley.

THERE's a hole with no bottom. That was Canadian *Guitarist* you quoted, just to clarify.

According to RealGM, Quentin Richardson has been traded to the Knicks in exchange for Kurt Thomas and a future conditional number one draft pick. Pending league approval, it should be announced following tommorrow's game. Link~ Very good trade for the Suns, IMO.
