Bias opinion at its finest, that is all. Just go to the 9th best player please. This sh*t was already predetermined like the 7th best player.

I think it's called MAJORITY decision... There's a reason Deron is listed at #8, it it was "bias opinion at its finest", then he automatically would've been #1 in this list (pun intended)

Touche lol. I'm honestly surprised #8 didn't go before CP3. But I'm done, I'll be waiting for "Who's #9?" to be up soon. I think this voting is rigged as well, but what else is new to NBA relative activities?

Chose which aspect you want to address and stop flip flopping. I'm talking strictly about which player is better, Rose or #8. If you want to bring up team success, your shooting yourself in the foot. And I was talking about Marbury time as a Nets vs #8 time as a Net, or maybe you felt that was inaccurate when it actually was, now that I actually looked it up. Keep trying man, bring up all the advance stats you want to make your guy look better than he actually is, since you can probably do that for every NBA player around.
I know right? I mean stats? Who the s*** uses those things in a sports debate or to help measure a player's worth? Those darned useless things, making Deron look better then Marbury. Blaspemy!

Yeh I agree what sort of idiot wouldn't play in a meaningless game while being injured & also 'helping' the team get a better chance of a top 3 pick.

Top 25 Players - Who's #8?
If Williams walks I want King fired & Avery as well.
Then start building again.
I'm sort of hoping 'IF' Williams was to leave the blazers get our pick this season because if we get a top 3 pick this season & D Will walks, we will suck bad next season with little chance of keeping the pick.
Still I believe D Will will stay.

No way.
I'd rather get the 3rd pick now. If we're the worst team in the league next season we still have the pick top 2 protected.
I'm team unibrow, no way am I wishing for the pick to finish fourth or worse.

Re: Top 25 Players - Who's #8?
IDK, King hasn't been that great with higher lotto picks.
It would really depend on who was still on board at 3 for me know how I'd feel about it.
Also it would depend on if D Will walks and who we sign in his place.
I'm pretty sure I'd take the 3rd now though, it seems Robinson is slipping in favor of Drummond and MKG, so if he's still on board at 3, or if we could deal the 3rd for say the 5th or 6xth and the 10th if we jumped and New Orleans got pushed back, I'd definitely take that.
But Billy scares me.
For all this talk he has for being so great in the draft he is really more or less awful in the lotto. His fame comes from finding solid value in the later parts of the draft, even though it's also ignored those players he finds his fame from selecting are all massively flawed as well.
I said this on here a few times, but I said it a bunch of ND and as usual was flamed for it, but it's the truth.
Larry Hughes was the worst one too, just a huge s**t bomb. Go to DX and look at who was selected within the next few picks, you'll choke on your drink. And then let it sink in, for how overrated and awful Hughes really was a majority of his career, his "good" years all came after Billy traded him for an older Kukoc who left after a season and a half. Oh and he shipped out Bruce Bowen in that deal as well...

Re: Top 25 Players - Who's #8?
To be fair, King has drafted in the lottery like 4 times.
-Larry Hughes in 99
-Andre Igoudala in 04
-Thabo Sefolosha in 06
-Thaddeus Young in 07
Two have been solid: Igoudala and Young
One was terrible: Hughes
One was traded away for a later pick and other considerations.

I didnt explain myself well. What I meant was if we somehow were able to see into the future & D Will walked it would benefit us more long term having the blazers taking our pick this year due being a crap team next season & high lotto choice.
But don't get it twisted, in dieing for a top 3 pick, I'd do anything to get Anthony Davis on the Nets, he's a monster.
Even a top 3 pick of any sort is brilliant & will be very useful in the Howard or trade sweep stakes to keep D Will.

Re: Top 25 Players - Who's #8?
No surprise again, I don't like King either. Never liked him after his work when building a team around Iverson. And I really don't like the work he's done here so far.

This is one spot where you'll find a majority of the regulars on here agreeing with you.
A lot of us hated the hire as soon as it happened and at best most said they'd take a very wary wait and see approach.
Hell, 7, 8 hours after the Deron trade we were already discussing how it was an on paper overpay and having a civil debate about it, unlike another website where the random few saying it that day were railroaded off the board(Sorry, I can't help but mention the other site a lot lately lol).

This is the one spot? How many here agree with me that Mexican food is the best?

But in all seriousness, the #8 trade was a "steal" if he stays, even thought he got real REAL lucky when it came to acquiring him.

Mexican food is pretty awesome.
IDK if I'd draft it #1 overall, but that draft would have a number of franchise players available.
