[BlazerCaravan]

Classy move by Silver.

Summary?

 

[BrianFromWA]

the trade of McDermott at 11 for 16/19 to CHI opened up another 1.7M for Melo.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The Bosnian DeMarcus Cousins.

 

[illmatic99]

What happened?

The NBA "drafted" Isaiah Austin, the kid who was diagnosed with a disorder that prevents him from playing bball.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I missed that - what class? And why does MCW look bad?

 

[MickZagger]

Remember when Tom Penn was all the rage?

 

[3RA1N1AC]

nurkic looks kinda spry for his size

 

[3RA1N1AC]

If he gets "employed" by the NBA he might be able to collect disability!

The Bosnian DeMarcus Cousins.

You're always all over these Euro's nutz and only like 1 out of every 20 are decent NBA players. The Euro fad is slowly dying off. Sure, you can say look at the Spurs. But, for every Tony Parker there's 15 Tskitishvili's.

C'MON OLSHEY GER GLENN ROBINSON III

 

[Mediocre Man]

For those needing a summary, or listening to the Blazers radio broadcast (why?)

The NBA announced Isaiah Austin between the 15th and 16th pick so he could realize his dream of having his name called after he was diagnosed with career ending Marfan syndrome 2 days ago. He put on an NBA hat and walked up, shook the commish's hand and had his interview with Jay Williams.

Not.

Swayed.

 

[MickZagger]

Celtics just drafted Michael Redd Jr.

They're putting some nice pieces around Olynyk.

 

[Mediocre Man]

what happened i missed it

He asically gave an interview after Payton was drafted by the 6ers and was rather "whatever" about it because he is a PG as well

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

@GoodmanESPN: Just spoke to Gary Harris. He's disappointed -- but is still optimistic that he'll go to a place that is a better fit than somewhere higher.>>>>>


The first slipper.

i saw that interview, he seemed bummed when the reporter asked him about being traded...i cant really blame him for that

 

[MickZagger]

Plenty of goodies still available.

 

[MickZagger]

Reach of the day was Stauskas.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

what happened i missed it

He immediately started talking about being traded. The guy is afraid to compete for a starting job. That's why he didn't want to be drafted by Portland last year.

If the Blazers were to trade for Chris Paul do you think Lillard would ask to be traded? Fuck no, he would compete like the warrior he is for the starting pg position.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

phx has 2 starting pgs already...

 

[MickZagger]

Dragic, Bledsoe and Ennis?

Hmmm, I think a trade might be brewing.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

So... surely the Suns won't keep Ennis?

i must have misunderstood, it seemed to me that the reporter brought it up, not him

 

[Mediocre Man]

Please God don't let Ennis come here

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Zach Lavine says "Minnesota is a great town."

 

[BrianFromWA]

Did Kahn move into Robert Sarver's house in PHX? Dwight, can we get a ruling?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Bledsoe is an Olshey guy...

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

@WojYahooNBA: The Denver Nuggets will select Gary Harris with the 19th pick in the NBA Draft, league source tells Yahoo Sports.
