there's the full version, but it's just audio, PeeDee gave me this link in another thread.

I'm starting to like the trade more.

I haven't watched the video yet but after listening to the audio I feel better about this trade. They kind of put everything into perspective and a lot of the questions we had were answered.

I'm really excited about Pekovic. Mchale talked to him and he said his goal is to play in the NBA and he wants to come over here. He's got 2 years left on his contract. Looks like he was attracting all sorts of trade offers too. 6'11" 260 or somethin..what a beast.

What is he drinking at the beginning? That doesn't look like a Sports Drink to me. Keon Clark, 2.0.

So uhh, what happens when Pek comes here and he's actually GOOD enough to start at center?

What happens with Love and Jefferson?

This FO isnt capable of putting those situations together.

Just like trading Chalmers without knowing they were going to trade Mayo, or vice versa

Either Love or Pekovic starts depending on match-ups, I would assume.

reading it right now. mchale explains why they traded chalmers:

The Chalmers deal was made at the time when we thought O.J. was on our team ... We said 'who is the best on the board for us?' With Chalmers also there we said 'we just drafted a guy that almost plays the same exact position in O.J. and the deal wasn't done (with Love) so that was the case - move the second for some future stuff and we'll look at the draft again next year ... Funny, after the trade happened we thought, 'huh, maybe we should go to Miami and take it back' but I don't think they would have.

big whammy... oh well, at least that was a honest mistake.

And of course the second round is all about drafting the BPA without regards to need :rofl:

Maybe he only read Chalmers draft profile after making the pick and hadn't realised he was a PG.

nice little titbid about corey:

I really feel good about Corey Brewer's future. He's been here since two weeks after the season working on his jump shot and dribbling. He knows he has work to do.

I also read somewhere that rashad is in minny too, working on his game.

CB4MiamiHeat · Post #20 » by **CB4MiamiHeat** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 11:10 am

that made no sense what McHale said....Chalmers can come off the bench..hes is probably a great backup PG for years.

You have a Foye/Mayo/Jefferson trio .... with McCants as 6th man .. Chalmers backup PG ......... next year you suck, get a high pick again..see if Brewer gets any better...draft a Center or SF depending on that...looks like a nice future.

KG was my favorite player, thats why i kinda care a little about the Wolves, but not too much......just my opinion
