I read that the Wolves are trading Lawson to the Nuggets.

I'm late, but I really really really hate Brandon Jennings. Another stupid lottery pick for this team...ugh. It's like Minnesota took Flynn and John Hammond was like "oh shit oh shit oh shit...quick...come up with somebody else."
You take a point guard whose ESPN profile says "Must Improve: Decision Making"?? Really? And good luck getting him to stay past his rookie contract...how do you think a kid from Compton is going to like Milwaukee? Whatever...at least they didn't take a white guy just because he can dunk this year. I still would've preferred Jrue Holliday. Last edited by RatedGSuperstar; 06-25-2009 at 11:04 PM. |

Holy Fuck
WOW Great for the suns, I honestly think Wright has the chance to be a stud if can ever get on the court. Biedrins is a potential All star. Curry and Bellinelli can become real solid players. Bad move for the warriors. They should have gotten rid of maggette. Why trade a good center and parts for a guy who will refuse to play center? |

I cant even think of a reason why i dont like Hansborough, i just never liked him because it was cool not to like him. That being said, this is who i thought we would pick. I thought it was him or Lawson, but Tyler made more sense. I kind of like the pick. We dont need a superstar PF. What we need is what Hansborough will bring. I think he's going to be a 16 and 10 guy. I love putting him on the frontline with Roy Hibbert. And our scoring will come from Granger and Rush ( who was outstanding the last month of the season and will have a huge year this coming season ). Our PG situation is decent. I love Jarrett Jacks leadership. I like TJ alot as long as he buys into the system more and stays injury free.
My biggest question is what will happen with Troy Murphy. To be honest, now is the best time to try and trade him. They wont get any more value from Murphy then right now after he's coming off a 14 points, 10 rebounds, 45% 3pnt percentage year. I dont want to trade him, but we need to commit to Tyler Hansborough. We need toughness in the middle and Murphy is an outside guy who gets rebounds. We need inside toughness. Guys who will pound in low and peal defenders off Danny and Brandon. Trading Murphy imo should happen. But if it dont, hell, more depth. I really like this Pacers team this coming season. They will definitly make the playoffs. Might even win a round depending on Grangers continued development and the development of Rush and Hibbert. Bird has done a great job of rebuilding this team with good young players. I have no clue what he was thinking drafting AJ Price tho. I mean this guy is another Tinsley waiting to happen. |

People are really killing Indiana for this pick. I think they're gunna be wrong. I'd rather have Hansbrough then most, if not all of the projects that got drafted after him in this weak ass draft.
Also, Dan Wetzel is killing him for being 6'8. Everything i've read says he's 6'10. Plus no one takes into consideration Indy's uptempo offense which i think Hansbrough will fit decently into. He's not being asked to come in and be some superstar stud, nor should he be expected to. There's like maybe 4 studs in this whole draft. Everything else is a crap shoot. So i'm fine with the Hansbrough pick. He's going to be a pretty good powerforward of the likes of a Udanis Haslem . I'll take that. Thats what Indy needs. |

The center position isn't very deep. Not many in the west. Okur, Biedrins, Bynum..... not really a whole lot else.

Don't forget about Yao and Jefferson
But yeah Biedrins is good. 3rd in the league in FG%, 4th in the league in rebounding. Pretty decent numbers |

So now Rubio might stay in Spain for a couple of years. Minnesota just completely fucked themselves.

Word is Rubio wants to play in a big city or he goes back to Spain.
Right now they are thinking Rubio to the Knicks for Wilson Chandler and Hill |

Robinson and Hill would be a good deal. But that would leave Minnesota with the shortest backcourt in the NBA (Flynn and Robinson)

Heard his dad wants him to stay in Europe, come on I know he's pretty young but give me a break. Let the kid make his own decision
I don't think Hansborough is gonna be a 16 & 10 guy - that would be borderline star potential. He could be a decent bench guy though Last edited by Jesus Shuttlesworth; 06-26-2009 at 03:36 PM. |

Hansbrough is too small, not athletic enough, and his style will be neutralized.
What made him a great collge player is going to be his downfall in the NBA. He will probably end up like a Mark Madsen type player... |

Where's Charlie Villanueva gonna end up? He could help the Cavs a lot since they still don't have anyone that can guard guys like Rashad Lewis or Lamar Odom

He is going to want a good chunk...might settle for the mid level money to the cavs. Would be a good fit. They need someone to suck up some minutes at PF.

We got Darko. Sheesh.
Anywho, just flashed on ESPNews that the Knicks are gonna place a call to the T-Wolves about getting Rubio. That should be good. |

I think it's the year the team was established
-edit Just looked it up and the Clippers were established in '70 so I'm not sure. Dunno what else they could mean, I'm not even totally sure what pictures you are even talking about though so I'm just basing it off of Griffin and the #84 ball you mentioned. -edit again lol The Clippers moved to LA in '84 so that must be it......
