The 2013 NBA Draft Night Thread

ShaMu might work out in Minny. Rubio doesn't shoot and he doesn't pass so it ought to be okay. Unlike knuckleheads like Beasley, I think ShaMu will actually play hard and be useful.

re: simmons vs doc - i know a lot of us bobcat fans are sick of simmons crapping on the cats, but i dont know how any of us didnt love him calling out doc for quitting on the celtics. its exactly what happend and simmons had the stones to point it out. rivers shouldnt be immune to criticism. i wish more people would have called larry brown out when he did this crap to every team he every coached. espn needs guys like simmons who arent afraid to have an opinion at times. i am sick of the boring journalism where they kiss the asses of the players and coaches. if that means simmons talks **** about the cats and jordan when we suck so be it.

The ONLY reason Simmons did that though was because it was directly related to his beloved Celtics and it cut so close to him.

He wouldn't have been ballsy if it was the head coach of another team. If it was a coach that did that to the Bobcats he would be praising them and saying "who the hell wouldn't want out of Charlotte"?

He's a puke.

Ok Draft is over..Now comes 7-11-13..the opening of FA season.. It would be nice to dump Gordon's expiring now and trade him to Utah with Haywood and add Al Jefferson F C on a 3 year contract to work along side Zman and McBob and Biz in a 4 man F C Rotation.
Then Amensity TT next year.

Big Al is an Unrestricted FA, he can't be traded.

When has he been hesitant to criticize coaches though? At times it seems like that he believes only about five coaches have made up the correct rotation and make the right game-time decisions. Sure, this is a much bigger thing, but don't understate the criticism Simmons tends to give out.
