2004 NBA Draft thread

I hope he Blazers do trade Eddie Gill for a pick. He's pretty much a worthless bench player in Portland and it would be better for him and the team if he left. Also I really would like to see Telfair playing for the Blazers. If they draft Kirk Snyder in the lottery, they could have their future starting backcourt in this years draft assuming they pan out.

So if you guys were the GM of the Orlando Magic, and you're assuming you are trading Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard and Tyronne Lue for Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobley & Kelvin Cato who would you take with the #1 pick?

 

Emaka Okafor or Dwight Howard II?

 

I still would take Hoawrd because I do not think you can become a title contender with Francis-Mobley-Okafor. And I think Howard would be ready in 3 years. I guess it just depends on when you want to win.

I think if the rumors about them not keeping Francis are true, they take Howard. Also, I've heard the Magic might be willing to swap with the Bobcats for a little something, so obviously they wouldn't object to Howard.

Phoenix just traded the #7 pick to Chicago for pick 31, future 1st rounder and cash. Chad Ford thinks the Bulls are going after Luke Jackson with the pick. If they go with Iguodala at #3 they will have a good young nucleus to rebuild with.

 

PG Kirk Hinrich

SG Luke Jackson

SF Andre Iguodala

PF Antonio Davis

C Eddie Curry

 

Something like that.

Man Luke Jackson has jumped. And that is humorous how they would now have a good nucleus to rebuild with. Too bad they had the no.2 and 3 pick in the 2001 draft and are "rebuilding again".

when someone flies up the draft board thanks to workouts, my natural inclination is to say, "This guy is gonna suck". So naturally I am less than thrilled with were the Bulls are leaning. But it's still better than putting Ben Gordon at shooting guard.

As of the last Bulls update, Paxson was looking to move Curry, Davis, Crawford and the third pick to a few teams who were interested, namely Boston, Dallas and Seattle (Pierce, Finley and Allen, respectively). I can't see the Bulls drafting someone at #3 with the depth they're going to have at a few positions.

 

If the Bulls use their picks to draft Iguodala and Jackson, staying put on the roster they have for the 2004-2005 season, here's the depth chart off the top of my head:

 

C: Chandler / Curry

PF: Davis / Jer. Williams

SF: Pippen / Iguodala / Robinson / Dupree

SG: Crawford / Jackson / Gill

PG: Heinrich/ Pargo

Howard goes first.

 

Can I buy a Bobcat hat yet?

Oh dear god...Steven A Smith through the whole thing. Mel Kiper should come out of nowhere and hit him with a steel chair.

No way I take Dwight Howard first. No chance.

 

Big Mistake by Orlando, and this is got to be dancing time for the Bobcats.

with all of Okafor's back and ankle problems I'm not surprised he was passed over. Howard should be real good

Kwame Brown is the most over-rated High School player ever that I can remember.

 

I bet Alf will draw out a name though that will trump us all

Holy shit, Ben Gordon moved up big time.

 

Does this mean Jamal Crawford will be moved by the end of the night?

I agreed with every word he said. Passing Okafor for Howard is a mistake. And I really don't know what Chicago is thinking here.

If Jameer Nelson somehow drops to 24 and the Celts don't grab him I'll kill Danny Ainge.

I don't necessarily disagree with him vis a vis Okafor/Howard, but he does this with EVERY pick. Hell, listen to his analysis of Chicago's pick (and past drafts).

also, the choice to draft Ben Gordon got me wondering. Has there been any word on how Jay Williams rehab is going? Does it look like he'll ever make it back to the NBA?

I don't think the Bulls have any clue what the point of the draft is. I'm surprised Danny Ainge doesn't work for them.
