2008 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

[Flash3]

Steven A Smith was on First Take talking about the pre-draft camp up in Orlando, and he made an interesting comment about Derrick Rose and his status, and that he doesn't really want to play in Chicago, even though that is his hometown. -- How much weight that carries, I'm not sure, just throwing it out there......

Rose to Miami, Beasley to Chicago.

Dorsey: Chicago Will Take Beasley

Sun-Sentinel -
Joey Dorsey believes the Chicago Bulls will select Michael Beasley, which would allow the Heat to pick Derrick Rose.

"Chicago's got a lot of pressure on them because Derrick's from Chicago," Dorsey said, "but they're going to take Beasley. I've got the inside. They're going to get Beasley."

Bulls Vice President John Paxson has adamantly denied reaching a decision. [READ]

whoa

I cant wait

Well, the Bulls spent two top-10 picks trying to get some paint scoring from guys who aren't offensive post players. Now one falls in their lap...it would be stupid not to take him.

That is, unless they can package Hinrich for Elton Brand.

[Cevap]

Hinrich would need a lot more added to if you wanna get Brand.

Hinrich, Tyrus, 2nd Rd Pick for Brand + Salary Dump Player

[A.J.]

The Bulls will take Rose, but the right way to go is to draft the best player with the 1st overall and Beasley is the best player in draft.

[Hold That]

Maybe Stephen A. needs to check out the video that came out today on NBA.com, about Rose saying he wants to come to Chicago, calling it "a dream come true".. :rofl:

Its silly to believe any "inside info" saying that Pax's mind is made up. There is still a month before the draft, and workouts to be had and such. I wouldn't have believed it if he said Rose either.

Who the heck is Joey Dorsey anyways?

[tclg]

we need measurements first

[j-ragg]

Just think if the Bulls did something like a Hinrich, Thomas, Nocioni and a future first for Brand and a filler.

Rose
BG
Deng
Brand
Noah

Is pretty sickening.

Joey Dorsey was Rose's teammate at Memphis. He probably has a chance to get drafted in the 2nd round. If anything, he talks to Rose more than anyone here and if he says Derrick Rose told him some inside information about where he might end up, I doubt that he's lying.

[CBS7]

Except that Rose most likely doesn't know where he is going as of notw. There is just too much to do and too much time until the draft for a GM to make his decision already.

Unless he has a promise from Chicago that they won't draft him or knows of a promise to Beasley?

And Dorsey, he was a bigman on Memphis right? Rings a bell.

[A.J.]

It looks like the Sonics are a lock to take Bayless.

[LetItRain]

I just hope CDR falls to the Magic

[Cevap]

I just hope CDR falls to the Magic

aka Mr. Make It Rain On Dem Hoez

[A.J.]

Rush or bust

[arrpy]

I can't wait to see if there are gonna be any draft day moves!

[A.J.]

I can't wait to see if they're gonna be any draft day moves!

Yeah me too.

Aside from a team making a bad mistake, and the picks itself, the trades are the best part of the draft.
