2010 NBA Draft Thread: Nets Select Derrick Favors

I mean senselessly buying prospects isn't the way to go either when you're a 12 win team. There are still a number of young players on this roster who are going to need minutes... We got what we came for but in terms of fleshing out the roster it was a failure.

NOT ME.

I wonder if Mikhail Torrance will even make a roster as an undrafted rookie FA?
I really thought he could be a nice sleeper, but it seems as though 30 other people did not agree with me...

HAHAHAHA! Like Gordon to Utah.....I said to my wife...somehow Harangody will be a Celtic.

Wow Mavericks traded Alabi, I really thought they could have used him... I wonder if the Raptors are setting up to move Bargnani or move on without Bosh though... They did draft Ed Davis afterall...

Ha, Stanley Robinson still out there, forgot all about him.

Not anymore, Vince.

Who will be Mr. Irrelevant?

My money's on Manny Harris.

I just got an e-mail from nets.com asking me to order a Favors jersey, does this mean there's virtually a 0% chance Favors is traded?

Please tell me it does!

Yup, this is inexplainable. It's about even, I guess, in terms of cap space, but...strange.

If we trade up...dont we lose cap space? 2nd rounder is treated as an cap hold. So? Now one player...still have a cap hld for the second open spot and you have to pay more for the 24 than the 27. Not much..but this doesnt seem cap driven.

No, not necessarily. They're not going to send out an email, saying: "Don't buy the jersey, his *** is getting shipped out."

Nah dawg it just means Thorn successfully sold the Hornets on the greatness of Damion James!

There is one other possibility. That we have a trade in the works...and they coveted this kid rather than 27/31.

So lets see how this pans out.

vincecarter4pres · Post #1577 » by **vincecarter4pres** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 4:00 am

3 names to remember as undrafted free agents:
Mikhail Torrance
Manny Harris
Sherron Collins

Jersey Generals · Post #1578 » by **Jersey Generals** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 4:01 am

Sherron Collins will be a Net.

Anyone for hiring Kevin Pritchard as Thorn's #2 and eventual replacement? Thorn isn't getting any younger.
