Pacers took Ford, thank fucking god. He was a little bitch. You know if he doesn't start, he will suck terribly? And even when he does, he's still not great. Ford has range of about 15 feet, maybe. And was a terrible decision maker. He has speed that's all.
Now, I'm still weary of the trade, I mean O'Neil hasn't exactly been playing up to par these last couple seasons. But if he can go back to his old form, or close than I like the trade. Him and Bosh in the post, 2 quick, athletic guys in the post, who can move and run the court. If this improves rebounding, than fuck it, it was worth it. However, I don't like that we moved Nesterovic. He played some very solid ball down the stretch for us last year, and is awesome to have coming off the bench. What really needs to be done, is Bargnani needs to be moved, while someone still wants him. This kid is going to be a bust. Hopefully with a real starter at center, he doesn't start anymore, and I really hope he doesn't move down to SF. We really need a talented swingman, like a Gerald Wallace, or Richard Jefferson. |

How many years are left on Ford's contract?
I'm still hoping that they draft Augustin or Westbrook if he happens to drop, that way they can develop and cut ties with Ford if he doesn't pan out. If we get Augustin and Randolph we would have a solid core of good, young talent. |

YEAHHHH BAYLESS
I think the Pacers will be a hot team next year. If Diago finally busts out to his potential then I will adopt that team. |

Blazers got bout Diagou and Bayless. They are buliding into a serious contender with Roy, Alridge, Diagou finally in a position to show his potential and 2 young budding stars in Oden and Bayless.

I guess Jamal Tinsleys time in Indiana is over with as hes gone from the starting PG to 3rd string behind Ford and Jack.

I like Westbrook in Seattle but wtf with taking Ibaka with the 24th pick..he's gonna play overseas till like 2011 fuck he isn't even that good for the wait is he?
Do the Bobcats not like Felton at their point.. Augustin is a solid backup or maybe he can take the starting job since Felton had some injury concerns. |

I say the Bobcats went for a PG first rd instead of a big man because they are confident Morrison and May will return and be healthy and contribute.

Crawford is def a steal. He was highly regarded coming out of high school. 5 star player and McDonalds All American. He underachieved his first 3 yrs at UK under Tubby Smith but when Billy Gillspie became the coach Crawford showed his potential. He also had a solid NBA draft camp where I believe he scored 20 pts. He has a lot of heart and a great scorer. They did get it right however he needs to work on his quickness. He could be the backup to Kobe if Vujaic who is a FA goes elsewhere but if Vujaic stays I expect Crawford to be 3rd string or spend time in the D-League. Rajon Rondo has claimed he thinks Crawford will be a solid NBA player.

Kevin McHale is an idiot, the dude is just trying to get fired..First KG....now this? Also, the majority of Memphis's roster is on their rookie contracts which means big money in free agency..I really hope you meant to say the T-Wolves GM is an idiot and just had a typo..

Jazz got Koulas. Pretty pleased with our draft. Took 2 euros in the 2nd that we can stash in Europe until their ready.

Walker is solid. Very prone to injuries however.
I think the 3 suprises for me not being drafted was Miss St SG Jamont Gordon. Everyone had him projected to be drafted Some had him as high as a late 1st rder, For a while he was Bilas top remaining player on the board for a while but did not get drafted. He had declared early for the draft but did not hire an agent so he CAN return to Miss St. I think he will make an NBA roster and his stock will rise next season because he is pretty clutch and fits a NBA type of large PG plus the Freshmen Class of 2008 is nowhere as deep as the past 2 years. USC SF Davon Jefferson Declared for the draft after only 2 seasons and hired an agent. Many thought he should have returned for his jr season. Cannot return to USC. Tennesee G Chris Lofton. An example of somebody that should have declared early. Had Lofton declared for the draft his Jr Yr he would have been a late 1st early 2nd rd pick. He is small and not great at defense but has great character and a lights out shooter. He would be a great guy to come off the bench and shoot 3s like the Steve Kerr, Brent Barry, Kyla Korver types. |

so the Blazers roster looks like Bayless Roy Outlaw Aldridge and Oden. I say they'll be in the West Finals with the Lakers

Lofton's release is slow and he is too small to be a Steve Kerr, Brent Barry or Kyle Korver type. I think he will catch on in the NBA with some team but I dunno, I think he'll need to do something else other than just be a 3 point shooter because I don't think that will get him playing time in the NBA. I am basing this off of this last season where he was battling the testicular cancer problem so may be I am unfair in my judgment though

... They traded Mike Miller, as well. No, Stima, the MEMPHIS GM is an idiot. I would rather have Love on my team, over Mayo. Antoine Walker and Marco Jaric, who the fuck, come on now. Terrible trade for Memphis.

lol you would rather have Kevin Love? Maybe in the future you could be right, but right now come on. The dudes biggest asset is that he is a great outlet passer
Love also fucks over Al Jefferson, will now have to stay at center rather than move over to his natural position of power forward. Miller is an alright player, his stats are inflated on a bad team but I am fan of his, however I would take OJ Mayo and Walker over Kevin Love and Miller for the simple fact that Love does not look like an NBA player at all. Jaric was simply a toss in for money purposes (much like Brian Cardinal and Jason Collins) so I dunno why you are so hung up on that. |

I'm officially no longer a Pacer fan. I'm done. I cant do it anymore. I cant believe what happend last night. I'm still shaking. I wanted to puke at work so badly. I still cant believe it. I knew Bird would find a way to fuck this up, but i didnt think it would be that badly. Bayless ( top 4 player in the draft ) and potential All NBA teamer falls right into our laps. So what does Bird do? He trades him for a role player who will never start ahead of Dunleavy or Granger a career backup and a former local High School star...
... I cant believe it. I cannot believe this happend. Larry Bird is no legend. He's a peice of fucking shit. He's horrible. He's worse then Isiah Thomas the only difference is he's white. If Larry Bird was black, he's easily the worst GM in the league. He just flushed any future Indiana had down the drain. How does a Granger/ Bayless duo sound? I hope it sounds fucking fantastic because we'll never see it. Thank you Larry Bird and FUCK YOU! Go Back to Boston you fucking faggot. Fantastic 17th pick though. Yah, that was a real smoothe one. Lets draft the slowest most unathletic guy in the draft and stun the fucking shit out everyone when we put him in our new " Up Tempo Shoot Three's and Run " style. No team will see that one coming. Good move. Yahh... fucking clownshoes |

Stuart Scott said the guy who paid like 50K for the shirt doc was wearing when Pierce dumped the gatoraid bucket on him should "get a life".
The guy got the shirt, signed by doc and pierce framed and the bucket, all money went to charity, Bill Parcells actually got the bidding going big time then I think gatoraid was bidding and stopped because they didn't want to take it away from a "true fan" so they just made a donation and the Celtics I think matched it as long as they get to borrow it for display. This all being said as a guy said on the radio today "Stuart Scott made a career of 'boo-yah' and 'cooler then the other side of the pillow' how's that glass house buddy?" |
