Edwin MacPhisto Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 So Kevin Pritchard is gonna take over for Mark Cuban as "GM everybody knows and reads about all the time," except he doesn't seem like an irritating-as-shit cock. I dig. And I don't think Mark Cuban is the teams GM. Right. Let's just say "team executive," then. Portland is going to have a nice 42 forward/center fouls to give this season.
Guest Vitamin X Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 I doubt all of these bigs are going to make the team. No way in hell.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 35 foot tall starting five. Best team ever.
Guest Vitamin X Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 35 foot tall starting five. Best team ever. Laaaaaadies and gentlemeeeeeeen... Your Portland.. TRAIIIIILL BLAAAZERS!!!
Precious Roy Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 Sacto somewhat makes up for the first round by grabbing Singletary and PATRICK FUCKING EWING JUNIOR!!!!!!!
Conspiracy_Victim Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 Hahah, Tyrus Thomas. Some asshole is supposedly saying that the Blazers got rid of Arthur for Batum. WTF, Pritchard? I guess the man IS fallible. I've heard Batum to Portland for Arthur and Dorsey. That makes 5 PFs for the Rockets, none of whom are over 6'8". Something's gotta give if this rumor is true.
Precious Roy Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 The Heat trade for Chalmers. Good shit.

Actually that would be great; I'm not too excited about getting Joey Dorsey- he's not really smart around the basket and he has character issues. DO NOT WANT.
Precious Roy Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 Rumor of Ray Felton to NY for David Lee. DO NOT WANT
Brett Favre Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 The rumor has been up for the last few hours, and has changed. The original was Lee and another player for Felton, another player and a first rounder. Now it's Lee for Felton straight up? I'd probably make that trade. Felton was made for an uptempo style.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 Corrention, it's Batum to Portland for Dorsey and an '09 2nd rounder, and in another trade it's pick 54 (and I guess something else) to Memphis for Donte Greene. Actually, since it's Memphis and they don't want any more guaranteed contracts, it might just be for #54. Edit: Correction on the correction, I've got two different versions now, one saying what I had up there, the 2nd story saying this one. No idea which is true.
Precious Roy Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 I don't dislike Felton, I just really like Lee, he's one of the few guys on the team I actually like at this point. It would be a great trade for Charlotte, pairing Lee with Emeka, and Augustine should be good to go at the point.

Batum for Dorsey and an 09 2nd rounder is fucking PERFECT. Keep Arthur and the French guy the Spurs were high on (and if anyone knows a thing about drafting international players, it's them) and dump Dorsey's possible character issues? YES.
bob_barron Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 I think I'm the first person to lose my voice cheering a NBA second round pick
bob_barron Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 The second round is awesome, it's the best thing in sports. A guy drafted from the NBADL? Come on!
Precious Roy Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 The Celtics bought the rights to Bill Walker. STEEL.
bob_barron Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 How often do the Bulls wear their black jerseys?
Guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 We drafted Joe Crawford, but he's not going to make the team anyway. So it doesn't matter.
alfdogg Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Posted June 27, 2008 ESPN says it's Batum for Arthur and Dorsey.
Guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 OJ Mayo, Marko Jaric, Antoine Walker and Greg Buckner are being sent to Memphis for Kevin Love, Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal and Jason Collins. ESPN just said so. Kevin Love and Al Jefferson on the same team doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Damaramu Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 These trades are making my head hurt. Hopefully it'll all be sorted out so I can read about it in the morning. I like what the Celtics did in this draft, they got backup help where they needed some.
bob_barron Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 When Kevin McHale and Chris Wallace make a trade...look out!
The Niggardly King Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 After checking over the Clippers draft... looks like I'm gonna be blowing the Blazers, Hornets, and Cavs this year...
Guest Vitamin X Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 ESPN says it's Batum for Arthur and Dorsey. Batum better be fucking worth it, especially over Arthur.
naiwf Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 OJ Mayo, Marko Jaric, Antoine Walker and Greg Buckner are being sent to Memphis for Kevin Love, Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal and Jason Collins. I guess Minnesota and Memphis like picking in the lottery. What a retarded deal for both sides.
Precious Roy Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 It took me a minute to digest that trade, but post-ponderance I love it for Minnesota. Love can work with Jefferson, Big Al can play the 5 without much problem, he's a little undersized for it, but he's got the right combination of motor, skill and athleticism that he can make it work. Hell, he played at the 5 most of last season, the team sucked, but it wasn't his fault, and he produced at high level despite the occasional mismatches. Love is a fucking talent, so good all-around, he should actually be a great compliment to Jefferson with his shooting ability, and both of them are great passers who can create a little off the dribble from 10 feet in. It's an undersized primary PF-C combo height wise, but both have some girth and strength and rebound well, so they should be ok. The key to the deal though is Mike Miller, that is a fucking STEAL for Minnesota. Mike Miller is a fucking criminal, and he's going to shine on that team. I really like Mayo too, he's the guy I hoped NY would get somehow, but Miller AND Love for Mayo? No questions asked. It is a bit of a shame that we won't get the GAY-LOVE pairing though
alfdogg Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Posted June 27, 2008 Minnesota is clearly the winner here, btw. Memphis can opt out of Walker's contract after this season, but they've got to shell out almost $35 million to Buckner and Jaric, who have been relative non-factors for quite a while, over the next 3 years. Meanwhile, Minnesota gets a potential 20+ ppg guy in Miller, an expiring contract in Collins who is also a strong post defender, and Cardinal who expires in 2010. Maybe Mayo will be the better pro than Love, but I don't know that he is worth just Miller right now, much less both of those two.
