Well according to this same article, it has us taking Serge Ibaka at #21.

I'm not familar with Ibaka at all, but according to nbadraft.net he is the next Shawn Kemp so of course we have to take him immediately; once we figure out how to trade for Jordan err Deshawn Stevenson.

I don't know who this Ibaka is, but I do know one thing: There will never be a "next Shawn Kemp".
</div>
Never say never. The dude has reproduced a lot.

Wouldn't be pissed if we got him. Maybe he likes Brooklyn and can see himself being the face of the city.

he is only a bust under don nelson in fact i want him on the nets...

 

[Kid Chocolate]

wtf?

Don Nelson never plays rookies.

You can't call a player a bust after one year in the league.
There have been many players who haven't played much their rookie year who aren't 'busts'.

Greg Oden: Injury prone, Bust, Sam Bowie.

[danxcr]

umm u actually have to play in game time to be considered a bust... like wright was a bust cuz he got the opportunity to play, and he got opportunities to play with kidd, VC, and RJ... i mean kidd alone should be able to help your game, but it didnt... wright never had the confidence within himself to be a good player in the NBA... he seemed lost...


BIGGEST BUST of all in any sport... RYAN LEAF...

Update: He wants an answer by monday

Interesting. He isn't saying that he'll pull out or refuse to sign with the team that picks him, but that he'll start working out for other teams. Sounds like his earlier statements were just a bluff after all.

If he gets his commitment from the Nets or Knicks, it won't be a bluff.

He wants to play in the NY area.

It appears that the part about him preferrring to play in the NY area wasn't a bluff, but the part about going back to Italy if another team picked him was.

 

[Astral]

I wouldn't call it a bluff. I mean, it's not Monday yet. Him saying it before this "deadline" means things got misunderstood.
