NBA Draft! - Page 3

ThunderingHERD · 06-28-2005, 08:40 PM

I'll be very pissed if the pick Danny Granger over Gerald Green if he's available.

kingfc22 · 06-28-2005, 08:42 PM

Am I the only one who enjoys watching HS'ers drop in the draft?

Just to clarify, I like seeing guys who can play, not just jump high and dunk.

miami_fan · 06-28-2005, 08:43 PM

I am wondering if he will take an "Aaron Rodgers" typ drop

Yes. You are truly unique. You are the only one EVER to want HSers to drop in the draft. In the history of the universe.

That's not what I was getting at, but continue to troll away.

Wow, the T-wolves' spot has gotten a lot more interesting.

I know! I know! But just saying that Yao Ming is the only foreign impact player ever and then to criticize taking a foreign guy after the 10th pick, it isn't like there are sure-fire impact guys at those spots.

ThunderingHERD · 06-28-2005, 08:55 PM

Ugh. I like Sean May, but they obviously drafted him for two reasons, both of which are awful:

1) Jumping on the "pass over Gerald Green" bandwagon. I guarantee you they'd have picked him at 5 if Felton hadn't been there.

2) Local guy. Come on! You already got that with Felton!

If you would have told me before the draft began that they got Felton and May, I would have been happy. But with Green still on the board? I'm kind of disgusted.

DaddyTorgo · 06-28-2005, 08:55 PM

gimme Hakim Warrick at 18 and I'll be happy. even though everyone is saying the C's will look PG

And then sign Wes Miller as a free agent.

I just get sick of the whole "Am I the only person......" thing. It's old and broken. Guess I'm a troll because I have an opinion.

kingfc22 · 06-28-2005, 09:00 PM

NJ should probably go big. Maybe Warrick, but he has no range to speak of or they could have Green "learn" from Vince.

Pacersfan46 · 06-28-2005, 09:03 PM

HOLY ****

Green could be there for my Pacers to take!!! GOOD GOD!!

I'm about to pee myself .....

kingfc22 · 06-28-2005, 09:04 PM

Toronto now with another chance to screw up.

miami_fan · 06-28-2005, 09:04 PM

There's got to be a "weed" problem that was attached to Green or something

DaddyTorgo · 06-28-2005, 09:08 PM

joey graham?? joey graham?

way to go toronto

edit: i don't follow basketball (college or pro) all that much, so for all I know this guy could be amazing. But somehow I doubt it

Pacersfan46 · 06-28-2005, 09:08 PM

YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!

One battle down ... now the other battle ... for Larry Bird to write "Gerald Green" on the sheet .....

I haven't been this giddy about a pick in forever.

ThunderingHERD · 06-28-2005, 09:10 PM

Danny Granger.

Not amazing but a better fit that their first pick

Swaggs · 06-28-2005, 09:13 PM

By the way, I think Julius Hodge is going to be a steal for someone. Living down this way, I saw him play quite a bit in the ACC, and he looked like the best guy on the court fairly often.

miami_fan · 06-28-2005, 09:15 PM

Observation: No constant camera shots into the green room to see Green's face

kurtism · 06-28-2005, 09:15 PM

Danny Granger is a nice add for the Pacers, and much more valuable to the team than Green would be now... Wonder if he signed Artest's ticket out of town?

Pacersfan46 · 06-28-2005, 09:15 PM

I knew we'd do that.

That man is too damn injury prone for me. Blech.

We have enough of those guys.

They really haven't mentioned his name in a while either.

If Detroit gets Gerald Green or Julius Hodge, I will piss my own pants.

Mota · 06-28-2005, 09:18 PM

Toronto's picks... HUH?

Bye bye Babcock. This is your last season as GM of the Raptors ... guaranteed.

DaddyTorgo · 06-28-2005, 09:18 PM

we'll take gerald green thanks. from everything i hear/have heard, he is a project, but should be really good

Fits what Danny Ainge wants. Not a bad pick for the Celts

vtbub · 06-28-2005, 09:20 PM

Why did he fall to us?

DaddyTorgo · 06-28-2005, 09:21 PM

Goodstuff. I think I'd watch more bball if the celts improved. There were just so many damn lean years that it became a turnoff. I wanna see Pierce traded now though, hopefully for picks, because I don't think we can win before he'll leave as a FA

If he plays like he did his junior year, I definitely agree with you, but 'ol Skeletor had a tendency to disappear at times this past season. That said, he does so much on the court. He can score, rebound, handle the ball and do the dirty work if necessary.

Fouts · 06-28-2005, 09:23 PM

The Celtics won their division, and Pierce was the leading scorer. What do they have without him?

a future. I don't think they have a future WITH him. There's no way they're going to win in the next couple years with him while their young kids are developing, so they ought to shrug him off and get some young talent/expiring contract/picks for him.

kingfc22 · 06-28-2005, 09:25 PM

Why does ESPN categorize the Villanueva and Bynum picks together with the Warriors selection of Diogu? Morons, that was a good pick for Golden State and it's not a stretch like the other two.

Fouts · 06-28-2005, 09:28 PM

Doc says Pierce is going nowhere and they will build around him. I think with him they have a chance at the playoffs, without him they win maybe 20 games.

Because you know more than people who spend their lives scouting these players.

Most of us have GENERAL ideas, but we don't watch the film and the camps in person. They know at least a LITTLE more than us.

Mota · 06-28-2005, 09:31 PM

I guess the Raptors could have done worse.

They could have given away Chris Bosh to trade up in the draft (and pick Villanueva).

what good is just making the playoffs? Then you just end up with the 18th pick again and again, and never win it all. On the other hand, dump Pierce, get either young kids/cap space/picks or some combination of the 3 and you tank a year or two yeah, but you end up likely with a high lottery pick (and maybe a lower pick for depth/trading up) and an opportunity to pick a new "core" player for your team.

ThunderingHERD · 06-28-2005, 09:33 PM

I thought everyone had Hodge in the 2nd round.

One possibility is that a trade has been agreed with NO for Jamal Magloire - and that they are picking the players NO wants. Remember, trades in the NBA can't be announced during the draft.

Fouts · 06-28-2005, 09:35 PM

You have a good point. I'm not a Celtics fan, but I think its hard for teams like the Celtics and Lakers to go into the tank. They have a huge fan base and don't want to end up like the Knicks for 2-5 years. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

well I don't know. I don't really see all that huge of a fan base for the Celts. Historically yes. But really the only people I see with Celtics apparel on these days are fat smelly middle-aged or old men. And unless I'm mistaken it's not like they're doing great on ticket sales. They've pretty much lost the "casual" fans here in Boston till they recover anyways, so they might as well take it all the way to the tank. At least, that's what I would do. That's always been my motto, if you can't win it all, or at least compete to win it all, tank as bad as you can. But I guess that's easier done in a digital world than in the real world.
