Who the **** is George Hill? Why is Arthur, Greene and CDR still on board?

This draft has been pretty boring, if it wasn't for Portland...no one has done ANYTHING.

Because the Kings could have worked something out to trade for the pick and get Arthur still?

The way he's falling we might still have a shot at him in the 2nd...and won't have to give him a guaranteed contract.

No, because the Spurs had the oppurtunity to take him themselves - I'm a Spurs fan, too

I wouldn't expect us to get Arthur after we got Thompson

We'd have to do a bit of moving up front with who we already got

That would be a terrible waste of a pick. How would he get more than a minute of play time with Moore, Thompson, KT, SAR, Hawes, Miller, Williams?

The biggest shock with Hill is that he was projected around our 2nd round territory.

Watch this develop... Portland takes Arthur, trade Frye later

Oden/Arthur/Aldridge - can you say tough, athletic, versatile, and balanced?! Christ.

SacTown Kings · Post #510 » by **SacTown Kings** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:07 am

Only a few point guards left:

Chalmers
Weaver
Dragic

Still quite a few bigs left:

Jordan
Jawai
Dorsey DJ White
Hardin
Gist
Asik
Pekovic

Others of interest:

Donte Greene
Bill Walker
Forbes
Weems
Gordon

*sigh*

Yup

Wow, just wow

What an absolutely (Please Use More Appropriate Word) night for Portland

Bayless and Arthur to add to their damn team

Portland = greatest team in west for the next 8 years.

Post #514 » by **KF10** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:11 am

Whoa! Portland will have a dynasty one day. Wow. Their FO has been excellent.

RIPskaterdude · Post #515 » by **RIPskaterdude** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:11 am

Funny thing is, Rush and Arthur could have been teammates too.

Ballings7 · Post #516 » by **Ballings7** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:12 am

Very happy for my boy, he's going to be on a good, and eventually elite team

*shakes head* Wow

Smills91 · Post #517 » by **Smills91** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:12 am

That'd be sweet to see Chalmers fall to 42, but I highly doubt it. Mike Taylor will be picked at 42/43

RIPskaterdude · Post #518 » by **RIPskaterdude** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:15 am

I just feel that we could have made a play for the Spurs pick and got Arthur WHILE trading down to get some more picks... sighhhh.

RoyalCourtJestr · Post #519 » by **RoyalCourtJestr** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:17 am

DeAndre Jordan, anyone?

Post #520 » by **KF10** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:17 am

Im surprise that DeAndre Jordan is there available.
