2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

18 pages in and I'm still plugging Irving and Vesely.

But hey any of you other Cavs fans read the actual Cavs forums on the site? Some of that stuff sounds like they've been hitting the bottle at the pre-draft party pretty early. A LOT of crazy trade talks for getting extra picks to get guys like Marshon Brooks and Alec Burks to go along with Irving and Kanter. Even seen somewhere in there where someone proposed a trade where he got it to come out where we draft Irving, Williams, Kanter, and Brooks. But he had some crazy trades that it takes about 9 Kahns per team to make. Needless to say I won't be reading any more pre-draft coverage over there.

Oh did I mention Irving and Vesely?

I usually don't bother with those sites. You can find the rare good, logical poster and I respect the passion but most of the time it gets REALLY overdone, lol.

Ive been coming to OS for 7 years now, and there is no better forum on the web for talking B-Ball. Moderation is tough but fair, and most abstract stupidity gets clowned and squashed by the regulars.

Agreed... I don't really post much, but the amount of basketball knowledge I've absorbed here from the guys in the NBA forum over the past 2-3 years is astounding.

You're not going to have a good shot at a chip without a good PG.

It's doable.

On ESPN there was a thing that said: Bismack Biyombo next Kevin Garnett?

Are you referring to Chad Ford's feature article on Bismack Biyombo?

If so, then this article mostly touched on Biyombo having the length, raw skill, athleticism, and determination to possibly develop into a standout defender in the mold of a Ben Wallace (in his prime) or Tyson Chandler. As far as the mention of Garnett, Ford was pretty much attempting to reference Biyombo's potential to KG's prowess exclusively on the defensive end.

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

That's funny because last night, Fran was ripping Biyombo for having no offensive ability whatsoever. Purely a defensive stopper.

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

Did Martin Gortat let the cat out of the bag. He posted something on Twitter basically saying he's being traded.

The rumor is him & 13 to minny for the #2 pick, Suns would then select Williams

I'd be angry. I've come to the conclusion I just want to select the best possible player. With such a weak draft I think that's all you can do.

Since when have the T-Wolves ever made any smart decisions? Lol

The last two years are still fresh in my mind on how clueless a team can be on draft day.

Biyombo's workout at the Adidas Euro Camp was TOUGH to watch. I actually felt sorry for the guy. Not sure why his agent was trying to show off his offensive skill. It was rough...
