"You hear the rumors and you hear the things," Richardson said. "The owners have to make those decisions. MJ has to do that. ... You don't want to see something like that happen, but it's all part of the business."

What rumors, Richardson?
What things, Richardson?

We have Bonnell as our lead reporter, so all I hear is incessant bitching.

I guess I will have to wait till those "rumors" and "things" make it on ESPN Insider so Bonnell can report on them.

BigSlam: It's impossible for us to get any picks aside from 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, or 11. Any pick below 8 is unlikely, and a pick below 9 would be VERY unlikely, as that would require TWO teams below 8 to win the lotto.

Thanks for doing these all season Steve!!

Knowing us... Bulls lose and we win...

GO CATS!!

Thanks for the love Walt.

Man I was barely apart of the Game Threads this season. The only one that I was all in for was the Lakers game. But that Lakers game thread was like Vegas. What happens in the Lakers Game Thread, stays in the Lakers game thread.

OFF SEASON!!!

now that the season is over, I can possibly add a new link to my signature.

I read both of those and thought the same thing. I think he will be pressured to resign or accept a lesser role. Maybe he should go to college and coach for a few years.

I was hoping the same thing, but then I read this:

"I'm surely not going to walk away from my responsibilities," Vincent said when asked how confident he was that he'd return next season."

But who really knows? It's all smoke and mirrors at this stage. If they do make the change I want them to make it quickly though and NOT let it drag on like they did last year. I want a new coach involved in the drafting process and getting the teams confidence as quickly as possible.

That's right, it was the same deal last year. There is that whole middle section that you can't land in from #8.

Thanks Paydro.

There goes my plan C!!

That was a good game. I always enjoy a win. And luckily the Bulls won as well. Oh well... I can't honestly say it was a good season, but it was an interesting one. I didn't post much during the season, but it was fun reading all of your posts.

And good job again to Steve for all of the game threads

Here's hoping the #8 and #14 both win the lotto. How crazy would it be for GS to have 48 wins and get a top3 pick???

[BigSlam]

Who would you guys take 1st over all floppy?

For that matter, who would you take at #3?

[IggyTheBEaST]

great game guys

Sorry Slam, I used to follow college hoops, but not in the last few years. I've got no idea how to rank them. I think my homies on the Warriors forum like Beasley then Rose. There are a few who think Love deserves a high pick due to his skill, and a few who argue that his lack of quicks and ups is going to doom him at the next level.

One fairly widespread view there (that I also hold) is that the Lopez twins are gonna be crap in the nba, at least on a team like GS, and they should not be drafted anywhere in the lotto. I've actually seen those guys a bit and I don't htink they will do well for us.

Gordon and CDR also have a few fans on our board. We have a draft thread stickied - feel free to jump in.
