2011 NBA Live Draft Thread

Valanciunas and Knight both available for TOR? WOW. Lucky.

 

[PapaG]

Really though, I can't believe they took Thompson. He's just so raw, can't hit FTs, and has a very limited offensive game.

I bet they go with Knight. A young backcourt rotation of Knight, Bayless, and DeRozan is a good building block.

Word is that a trade is in the works for Thompson's right. Possibly to DET or CHA. #notsofast

So, you think they take Knight and beg someone to take Calderon off their hands?

I guess Cleveland has time to develop prospects.

 

[PapaG]

OK Ed, can I know say that the Bobcats at #7 is looking a little bit better?

 

[B-Roy]

Calderon blows, I don't think they mind benching him.

I'm hearing that the Blazers were one of the teams that called Minnesota and at least inquired about the #2 overall pick.

You've watched him play?

 

[illmatic99]

Knight dropping like a rock.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Of course they went with the foreigner--what was I thinking. This is a Colangelo team.

 

[PapaG]

Looks like they're happy with their backcourt of Calderon/DeRozan/Bayless.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Watch what Charlotte doea at 7 or 9

 

[PapaG]

You've watched him play?

Yeah. He played for Texas last year.

 

[Ed O]

OK Ed, can I know say that the Bobcats at #7 is looking a little bit better?

Haha.

Ed O.

 

[illmatic99]

I hope we try something to move up and draft Knight. Can't believe he's still on the board.

 

[B-Roy]

Knight dropping like a rock.

Not really. DX has him at 7. I think he's top 10, not surprising he's not picked yet.

 

[Ed O]

Looks like they're happy with their backcourt of Calderon/DeRozan/Bayless.

Coupled with the recent statements about Bayless by Colangelo (their GM)... they must be pretty pleased with Bayless.

[Rastapopoulos]

Just to remind people: Nedzad kicked Valanciunas's ASS in that one game...

(I notice the highlights they're showing have him dunking on Freeland, but Freeland outscored him handily over two games.)

Re: Cavaliers select Kyrie Irving #1

You read the title. He's been than Chris Paul if you ask Mickzagger.

Thread for every pick coming up. Very necessary.

Yeah, he's been than Chris Paul if you ask me.

Somebody is wee-todded.

Well there is a scoop. Pick up the phone, dial a number, ask about #2 pick. If 28 other teams didn't do that, their GM should be fired.

It'd take Batum to get it done so don't count on it

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ouch - painful interview.

Yawn

you don't interest me

I'm also told that the Blazers have had as many as six deals on the table today. Portland is apparently still trying to move into Lottery.

...

 

[illmatic99]

WTF is going on with 750am radio online? All i'm hearing is ads.

 

[McNicholicious]

We should really trade up and grab Knight. I think Washington will pass on him and Charlotte might as well, but he doesn't get passed Detroit.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

No to Knight - he's not a PG.

 

[B-Roy]

Ouch - painful interview.

Yeah...no kidding

"You compare yourself to Chris Bosh, how are you like Chris Bosh?"

"I'm uh...uh....and uh....skinny....uh....uhhh...ummm"
