DRAFT DAY / DRAFT NIGHT / TRADES

[Mr. Sun]

Minnesota looking to deal Rubio?

What could we throw at them? Maybe Curry + Dudley if the GS trade goes through?

Nah, just wait it out until he can hit FA and just pick him up then. He won't want to hang around in Minny after 3-4 years.

can't believe spurs got blair, mcclinton and de colo....amazing night by them

[TASTIC]

Blair steps right in to the old Malik Rose job....sigh


Why did we target Kerr as GM? ugh

But how long can they keep them! Kerr screwed up by not having Cav's pick for us.

[aIvin adams]

did you hear what they said about blair's tattoo? its a tattoo of himself, w angel wings, and it says "god's gift"


amazing

[wdrummel]

We have a player who has sported "Black Jesus" for years. I think we know how to handle self adoring tats.

my favorite parts of the draft:

1) when stern is announcing the suns' 14 pick, but its all messed up. its the only time he comes out late, i heard someone say '2 announcements!' in the backround. then he announces we take earl clark, and says 'BUT..' and pauses like the smarmy jerk he is. i almost died of a heart attack and im guessing other suns fans did too. hilarious.

2) the choice of taylor griffin, which immediately made me imagine him hanging out w RLo. which immediately reminded me of that tv show 'movie stars' w joey travolta, frank stallone, and don swayze. suns have two players whose brothers are good

[wdrummel]

Yeah I wish he would have died of a heart attack on stage... I liked how BJ walked out like he was on the red carpet... I am glad we didn't end up with that smug little jerk.

My favorite part was the drunk Knicks fans and their rediculous chants...

i loved when they chanted overrated when hansbrough was drafted

[JohnVancouver]

Robin and now Taylor. I guess Kerr loves crappy brothers...

Somewhere im guessing there is a Fred Kerr that is a very smart, very knowledgeable, VERY successful man!

---- Man, that explains *so* much. Nice one

[alldayeveryday]

Besides on youtube, Gentry was saying Earl Clark reminds him a little bit like Cliff Robinson w/o the shooting touch yet - Does anyone have any old school videos of old cliffy? Ahh those were the days ..

Blame the previous administration for this teams problems - not Kerr. He is not innocent but these problems go back fives year. If Dumtoni had just played a rookie and Sarver had any foresight - this team could make better trades

[ruiner]

^Exactly. Also, it didn't help Marion was overpaid by about 10-15M when he got his huge deal before the era even started. That relief changes everything.

[NapoleonII]

Earl Clark pick is looking better and better...

[Mr. Sun]

Radio says keep an eye on SA for they are in a real jam salary wise. DeJuan Blair for salary relief?

[rsavaj]

i don't think they'll dump blair but maybe they'll dump one of their vets

if we're going the "compete" route i wouldn't mind finley here

[Mr. Sun]

Mehmet Okur is "leaning toward opting out" of his contract with the Jazz and could make the decision official as soon as today, Okur's agent, Marc Fleisher, said Sunday.

Okur would be opting out of $9 million he is due to make this season in order to become a free agent, raising the stakes for the Jazz as they attempt to keep their starting center, who also was the NBA's sixth-best three-point shooter last season.

Trying to picture him here.
