Wouldn't mind buying one of the Sonics remaining pics.

ha ha hows the realgm write-up on Hairston who the Suns just picked -

****RealGM Analysis: Hairston isn't a gifted perimeter shooter and struggles to get into the lane.****

Seriously stop it with the compliments. The guy looks like a 45yo school teacher.

WTF - Portland just bought the rights to Arthur from NO for cash? Did we know that already?

Chalmers to MIA. Sounds good for them, bad for Mo/Haslem prospects.

Portland bought the pick before the draft. New Orleans were effectively picking for Portland.

Ernie, why you helping out the defending champion Celtics?

Yeah sorry figured that out about 30 seconds after i posted it - got fooled by the flashing 'trade' coming up on my screen.

I just noticed Mike Taylor got drafted. Good for him...

Jeff Van Gundy says the Bucks are the biggest winners of the draft. Mark Jackson says the Nets are. :lol:

And there's the blockbuster...Love/Miller/etc for Mayo/Jaric/Buckner/Walker...

Wolves just got better in a hurry IMO.

Big Trade...

Mayo to Memphis....Love to Minny.

playmaker24 · Post #934 » by **playmaker24** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 4:48 am

where was this trade mentioned??

emunney · Post #935 » by **emunney** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 4:49 am

MTC!

Interesting. McHale was patient, waited out a bunch of offers and came away with a great deal. It's not good if you think Mayo is head and shoulders above Love, but if you think they're fairly close, Minnesota kills on this deal.

andonewheel · Post #936 » by **andonewheel** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 4:50 am

What a crazy trade, I don't know how to react. I didn't see that coming, but Memphis has their 1-3 positions secured and no good big men. Maybe they'll tank for one more year. Dunno how Minny will turn out, I don't see them making the playoffs in the West. Maybe they can spin Miller again for a good youngster and keep rebuilding.

Chuck Diesel · Post #937 » by **Chuck Diesel** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 4:51 am

Yeah what is the deal and where was it broken?

fam3381 · Post #938 » by **fam3381** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 5:01 am

On Sportscenter. I think Ford broke it.

benultimate · Post #939 » by **benultimate** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 5:38 am

even more future draft picks for Portland, they sure go crazy at draft time

In a three-team trade, Chicago acquires the draft rights to Omer Asik from Portland; Portland acquires a second-round pick in 2009 from Denver plus two future second-round picks from Chicago; and Denver acquires the draft rights to Sonny Weems from Chicago.

L.A. Clippers acquire the draft rights to Mike Taylor from Portland in exchange for a second-round selection in 2009.

andonewheel · Post #940 » by **andonewheel** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 5:45 am

I'm surprised more teams aren't trying to emulate Portland. They remind me of myself in video games ripping off the computer for future picks.
