Darrell Arthur, is this guy as good as ESPN hyped him up?

Wow Ibaka has 17 siblings. Dang they have enough to play full court basketball with subs on the side.

The Sonics' owners are doing whatever they can to turn the fan base against the team so the transition to OKC goes smoother without riots.

They coulda have Gordon, Durant, Green, Arthur, Wilcox.

Haha D'Antoni said he can teach Gallinari to play defense. Making fun of himself.

We could have got DeAndre Jordan if we bought that Hornets pick, he's worth it here imo.

Agreed on DeAndre. If he's a good friend of the ultra competitive Beasley, getting them on the same team is good for Jordan. Also Mourning is the best mentor tohave around him + McAdoo.

Instead of spreading silly rumors about trading away Beasley and picking Mayo at the #2 Riley should have tried harder to get another lottery pick or do something simple like buying a pick from another team.

TheGreatPooter · Post #492 » by **TheGreatPooter** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:07 am

Yeah our depth is not going to be good...getting picks even this late could have got us players like CDR or Greene.

theres gonna be a lot of of 2nd rounders better than guys picked even as high #15, watch.
Chalmer, DJ White, Hendrix, Bill Walker, Kyle Weaver, Dorsey...wow

GMs still hate seniors and decent proven players and love potential and international players, i thought that would change a bit...

Buy a pick Riley! This guys are gonna be great player off the bench!!

wow portland again...

from draftexpress live blog-
"Portland just informed us that they secured Nicolas Batum in a trade. We’re trying to find out for what."

TheGreatPooter · Post #497 » by **TheGreatPooter** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:25 am

batum now? they can afford to send him to france for 2-3 years and let him come back twice as good. damn they are stocking up.

CoolD · Post #498 » by **CoolD** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:28 am

I wonder if Billups is on the trading block.

We could trade for him.

I was thinking Marion, Haslem
Billups, Tayshaun.

Billups, Wade, Tayshaun, Beasley, Bum

I got no idea how feasible this is, but it just occured to me.

from draftexpress live blog-

"I was just informed by the Trailblazers that Nicolas Batum was traded by Houston to Portland in exchange for the rights to Darrell Arthur and one of Portland’s early second round picks."

It's been a long time. Riley traditionally waits to come down until the entire draft is over (or he sends Pfund). But we heard a while ago that he was coming down early.

That's what makes me think they are trying something

Ethan thinks Riles is up to somethingg
