I'd be happy if we bought a later 2nd to take him, but he isn't worth an early 2nd with how many "potential" players could fall

But good for him...when is their next game and how can I watch it, I guess we lost goudelock cuz he's going to the lakers. That will hurt...


It's not like this is a deep draft. Royce White is a "potential player". At least Rice you know what you would be getting and he would already know the system the team uses. that's huge I think.


I find it hilarious that Royce White has not played one game for the Vipers in the playoffs. How did he not get fined to oblivion? WTF.

Yeah, but even Aaron Brooks is still a better prospect that Goudelock. We don't need another shoot first point guard.

Goudelock deserves to be in the league though. That guy can put up buckets. Hope he sticks around.

Hopefully there is some justice in the world, but I doubt it. He declared earlier that he wasn't going to participate in the DL playoffs. They worked out a mutually satisfactory agreement?

Guess OKC's d-league is going to have to beat Houston too.

Kidding, good luck both series.

OKC called up Jeremy Lamb who chucked up a 6 for 21 shooting game for the Thunder. Is he going to play in both the Dleague playoffs AND NBA playoffs?

Wondering, what a Lin-Lamb backcourt (or a Dragic-Lamb) would have accomplished this season.

Congrats on Vipers winning game 1 vs Tulsa 66ers.
Hopefully a predictor of the Rockets-Thunder.

Glen Rice, Jr scored 18 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals
Tim Olbrecht with a nice doubdle double of 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Wow, at least the D-League affiliates are in the finals. That's good to know.

And we only have Olbrecht left on the D-League roster that is an NBA player. That's amazing.
