FFS! I don't understand this trade.

FFS! I don't understand this trade.

Were you excited about your new random useless big? lol.

[dmize]

Biggest winners/losers of the 1st round?

I'd say losers: Cleveland, Toronto
Winners: Detroit, Sacramento

Boston did well as did Golden St.

[Amar]

Haahaha wowwww.

Drummond, Rivers, and Lamb all on the board and we choose Terence fecking Ross.

FECK OFF COLANGELO YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT. The only positive move he ever made was hiring Dwayne Casey.

Imagine Drummond and Val banging down low? And we could probably get a very good player for Bargnani as well. Bayless, DeRozan, ??, Val, Drummond would have been a heck of a team to watch.

I agree. At the very least if Ross is the guy they wanted, why not trade down? Get your guy and something extra, idk. Don't get me wrong Ross is a good player, could be the 2nd or 3rd best SG but it was a reach.

Edit: just saw Toronto took Quincy Acy in the 2nd round, that's a good pick. So was Will Barton for Portland and Doron Lamb for Milwaukee. Draymond Green to the Warriors also.

[Blue Barrett]

Justin Hamilton.

[Amar]

I really am left clueless by our decisions sometimes.

Like you said, trading down would have been a perfect opportunity to pick up some pieces.

Sixers look like they will move Iggy and we could have shipped the pick to them so they could get Drummond and we could have got Ross at the 12.

This kid better be something special that no one saw coming because all of Toronto is scratching their heads and seriously pissed off atm.

[dmize]

Justin Hamilton.

Never even heard of him, but he's got size though which the Heat need

[punkfusion1992]

guys watch out for Andrew Nicholson
He was drafted by the Orlando Magic!
I went to highschool with him and he is an epic, I mean epic Basketball player

He was named best player in the Province 2 yrs straight and was part of a team that won 5 straight championships(A run that continued till 7) in the Highschool province wide team....
keep an eye out for him

[dmize]

^ Yeah Nicholson looks like he will be a good player in the NBA. I was hoping he would fall to the Celtics(not that I mind Sullinger), he can really score around the basket in a number of different ways. A number of teams liked him and he actually rose a bit in the draft.

[Blue Barrett]

Justin Hamilton.

Yeah Dexter Pittman has size too. And Eddy Curry.

[Raptorgunner]

I just hope we didn't draft another Araujo.

I just hope the coaches saw something in tryout we dont know about, but the kid can jump he is a high flyer.

[Blue Barrett]

So we got a poor man's "poor Nowitzki".

Great read. Talks about how the Pistons didn't even think Drummond was a possibility until Tuesday night, and how much research Dumars did on him after that. He even talked to his 6th grade teacher about him

[dmize]

So we got a poor man's "poor Nowitzki".

I saw he only averaged about a block a game in college, meh

[McAgger]

I love our picks Barnes, Festus Ezeli and Draymond Green

We got a starting SF and great players for depth.

------------Curry--------------
----Klay------------------------
--------------------Barnes-----
-------Lee----------------------
-----------Bogut----------------
Bench: PG Jenkins, SG Rush(hopefully), SF McGuire(hopefully), SF Wright, SF Draymond Green, PF Jeremy Tyler, C Festus Ezeli

And we got Richard Jefferson and Andris Biedrins both signed for 2 more years still for 11 and 9 million respectively, but hopefully somehow we can dump one with the amnesty and trade the other for some picks.

We would even have cap space to sign a big time FA this off season or next if need be YAY

I really want to See Howard on this team....but in the likelihood that isn't possible, Bogut is not bad at all either.

I was you I would amnesty Jefferson and sign illyasova.

Biedrins ....I would trade him for Picks.

[LeSwagg James]

*bleep* Colangelo and the Raptors.. Terrance Ross? WTF?!

I've lost count of how many dumb draft picks we've made over the years ffs

[dmize]

Houston offered Lowry + 16 for Torontos #8 pick. Toronto wanted even more so the talks ended. They could have gotten Lowry + someone else.

[Le Samourai]

U kidding me.

So you mean...they coulve gotten Lowry and still gotten Terrence Ross.

Idiots.

[dmize]

U kidding me.

So you mean...they coulve gotten Lowry and still gotten Terrence Ross.

Idiots.

Yeah, 16 is iffy, but I bet he still would've been there. They wanted the Rockets to take back contracts too(idk who) which turned them off also. Houston would've had Dragic, new SG, Parsons, Scola, Drummond.

Joe Dumars talking about the Toronto/Houston scenario about 3 mins in:

Also, the Wolves are still trying to get Gasol. Apparently the offer they made for the #2 overall pick was so they coulda turn around and ship the #2 to the Lakers for Gasol, but obviously Charlotte passed. Kahn is a terrible GM.

[Le Samourai]

Is MKG quick enough to guard the 2?

I really like where Mitch was going here , getting a rookie to save Cap but not sure if KG is the right guy.

[dmize]

Is MKG quick enough to guard the 2?

Absolutely imo. Not every 2 guard but the majority he should be able to handle. I like the pick, he's an impact defensive player right away even if his offense isn't refined yet. Bobcats will still be the worst team in the league though.

[dmize]

Bosh won't play in the Olympics. Wade and now Bosh out for USA.

[Le Samourai]

Damn, Kobe is playing ffs.

Guy needs to R&R, what is he doing ffs.

[dmize]

Garnett resigns with the Celtics , but I'm not ecstatic about committing 34m to him.

Seems like the Raps are ok with mediocrity.. The city has a lot of potential, it's a huge market, too bad the team doesn't match up
