Hahaha... Yes, can't you imagine Dwight running through the airport and hailing down a taxi to race to the Net's HQ to stop Deron? LMAO.

Cap wise it's possible, but I don't see Hennigan being able to pull it off. LOL.

Absolutely, but he can't get a taxi and has to borrow a crappy motorcycle to weave through traffic. We'd have to thrown in a seperate story line too. Deron Williams just met the girl of his dreams but she's moving to Orlando next week. He has all the thoughts swirling through his head and right before he signs the contract, dwight busts through the double doors.

I can't wait until tomorrow! Have a feeling something interesting will be revealed today at Henny's 1pm presser, can't put my finger on what, but the timing is just too interesting being a 24hrs before the big day and so many variables at play.

Edit: My guess is today's presser may be Jameer related....we shall see

Watch nothing happen tomorrow and we just draft our guy. That would be hilarious and some of you would be PISSED at Henny

Lol this is how the pressed will go:

Hennigan will thank everyone for being there, he will say that he is working hard on assembling a staff, he will introduce perry to the media. He will say that he has players in mind and that he has had convo with other gms, but nothing serious. When asked about Dwight, he will say that he will meet with him very soon. When asked about jameer, he will say he will meet with him some time before Friday. Have a good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.

Nothing more than generic stuff

Yeah, I have a feeling Richardson will be moved for a second rounder or something.

Hey Skin

Yeah, I see some mock drafts have him going high, I'm clinging onto the hope that he goes where nbadraft.net and mynbadraft have him projected which was 18 and 21 (respectively) to the Wolves (who just traded their pick).

I just hope he falls, doubt it happens BUT I can see Perry Jones III or Terrence Jones, maybe even Sullinger falling.

Ironically I honestly don't think we should draft a PG, even Kendal if he fell. I'd be ok w Q Miller though.

If his initial press conference was any indication, than nothing will be given but vague statements.

i made up my mind. Kendall Marshall makes the most sense based on what i read and saw UNLESS some lottery level talent slips down for some reason.

fendilim · Post #1252 » by **fendilim** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:03 pm

Is Kendall the second coming of Marcus Williams??

Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner. With LESS scoring ability and agility (not that Marcus had much of it).

yes.....that was who i had on my mind as a comparison but i couldn't remember for the life of me.....

Neon1 · Post #1255 » by **Neon1** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:20 pm

For the record.....I liked Marcus Williams much better then Kendall Marshall. Not really sure why he fell out of favor and the NBA. He and Marshall were basically the same player (with the flaws def,athletics, etc) except Williams was a little quicker and was a little more effective offensively.

I can see how people would say that Williams and Marshall are similar but their style of play isnt that similar when it comes to PGs. Marcus Williams was the type of player who drove and dished to the first man he saw, very much a two man game (doesnt translate well to the NBA). Marshall like more of the true court general, really playing intelligent half court basketball and seeing the entire floor getting everyone involved (translates well to the NBA).

MoMM · Post #1257 » by **MoMM** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:53 pm

Williams signed with the Quebradillas Pirates of the Puerto Rican Basketball League (BSN) in late March 2009. During the first half of the season, Williams averaged 15.0 points per game, 5.3 rebounds and 9.3 assists. He has registered one triple-double and is the league-leader in the assists département. He was also selected to play in the league's All-star game and won the game's MVP award.

In August 2010 he signed a one year contract with the Russian pro team BC Enisey Krasnoyarsk.

In late November 2011, he signed a contract with the Jiangsu Dragons of China

Scroll down to his college profile. If you don't look at the name, you would barely know who's scouting report is who's.

I dont like that there is a chance Duhon could start take Marshall.

We'll just have to wait and see, I just feel he's going to have a solid NBA career when its all said and done.

Who would you like to see the Magic draft ?
