who should they have taken on draft night?
</div>

Bayless over Lopez and that really is the one that frightens me the most about future drafts. It gave me flash backs to Kiki's picks in 2002.

Several players over Anderson (who I like) but I'll highlight Koufos and Batum. Especially because it was well known that Batum was desired by the Spurs, he could have been used by Rod as trade bait.

CDR was a damn fine pick in the second.
</div>

If CDR turns out to be the best player of the 3, which I think will happen, it could be taken as a positive. Depends how good he turns out to be, I guess. I like the idea of taking Batum because the Spurs wanted him; it could have worked into a whole ****ing over the Spurs on draft night theme.

im goin to go out on the limb and say ryan anderson become the best out of the 3

 

[#1_Josh_Boone_Fan]

This team could be very good

Swat and Boone step it up to where I expect

Marcus and Devin work together

VC becomes the old VC

Our Rookies learn their roles and give it there all.

Hey i know evryone here including myself is down on Brown. But imagine if we can get him on a 2yr deal for real cheap and he actually becomes the high touted player he was supposed to be. That would be worth the risk.

...I don't see Kwame being able to beat out any of those guys for minutes, so what's the point?

I agree with you, but lets say Kristic is traded for a wing/guard and we use Swift in a trade. That would leave us with just Swat, Boone, Yi, Lopez

ha! no disagreements from me there...

in fact, i thought the draft should have gone:
1. bayless
2. koufos
3. cdr

that being said, i think the nets didn't do too bad, but only because they got lucky with cdr falling to #40...

 

[#1_Josh_Boone_Fan]

The end is really near, and I am serouis sadly.

It was a good run while it lasted.

I'll be seeing you guys around in the Bulls froum soon i guess.

hilarious

I really don't get it. Why would they possibly be interested in Kwame? They have at least SEVEN serviceable big men (Sean, Yi, Boone, Krstic, Anderson, Lopez, Swift). Even if either Boone or Krstic does not come back, and Swift doesn't play at all (I can dream can't I?), that leaves 5 players, at least 3 of which could feel like they're potential starters (Yi, Lopez, Krstic/Boone).
Why would they sign a limited, soft 26 year old with a loser/bust history? They're rebuilding. I'd rather develop our guys. You never know when you'll find a diamond in the rough.

We are talking about Thorn and Kiki. The better question is why you believe they wouldn't sign such a player
