Kurt Angle Mark 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 The Seattle Sonics website is reporting Portland traded up to #2 which means most likely Morrison. They are also saying that Portland is taking Aldridge instead of Morrison Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Apparently they moved up to get Aldridge. ESPN was reporting earlier that they would draft Thomas and then trade him to Chicago anyways so this speeds up the process. Im guessing they gave up #4 and #30 or maybe some of their newly aquired players. Aldridge was probably going to be there at no. 4. Why trade up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nogoodnick 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Chicago may have taken Aldridge at #2 in order to get Thomas from Portland and something extra. Thats what I was hearing earlier anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teke184 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 1st pick is... Bargnani. Most people saw this one coming. Chicago's on the board and is expected to pick up Aldridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Chris Sheridan is saying over in a chat on ESPN that the Garnett to Chicago rumors have been red hot all day, and each camp has a different spin on things. Sounds like both #1s and Chandler could be the ransom. Probably couldn't go official until July 1 for salary cap purposes, but I still doubt that any deal is imminent.

therealworldschampion 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Alright here's what I want for the Sixers: Pipe dream is to get Randy Foye, but he won't last past 8. I'm cool with Cedric Simmons or Hilton Armstrong at 13. Marcus Williams would be good too but the red flags against him scare me a little. I hope to God they don't take JJ Redick, which is what I expect Billy King to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 A local radio guy was talking about how the people in Oklahoma should pay attention to the Hornets draft(b/c we may end up keeping them) but we should also pay attention to the Trailblazers and Sonics draft because we may get one of them if the Hornets make the mistake of leaving. Hmmm......I'll just pay attention to the Celtics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Morrison to Charlotte. That surprises me a bit. Not the position, but that Charlotte was the team that took him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a bad strategy for a young team to draft guys who have proven something in college. At least they get known production, whereas taking a gamble on someone could set a franchise back for years.

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Remember earlier in the thread when I said the Bulls are in great shape and that Paxson is a fantastic GM? Here's a little proof... they get the player they want in the draft, at a lesser cost and get a decent player out of it as well (Kryapa's more than a throw-in). Awesome.

jwpeer 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 I don't see anything wrong with what Chicago did. They got a warm body (Ok maybe a cold body) and the player they really wanted (Who has a lot more heart than lamarcus aldrirdge , between aldridge and Gay, this draft has the two most passive players ever) I like this, lets see who Chicago gets later on, and they might end up with Portlands 30th overall pick, which would be another quality player (Mike Gansey would fit in perfectly if they trade off Ben Gordon and parts for Garnett, that might be a good fit, since Gansey immediately has better defense than Gordon) Oh lord, leave it to Vitale to come on when Shelden is picked.
