Be interesting to see how many of us were happy about the DMO trade but mad about this pick which is essentially a younger better rebounding DMO

Here you go. Who you think this guy will be Garnett? Gasol? Divac? Nowitzki? Sabonis?

We don't know until see. I'm very happy we didn't get Thad


Great article! He still has time to fulfill the Kevin Garnett comparisons.......

Making a thread based off Jalen Rose comparisons is pretty ridiculous though.

He compared Deyonta Davis to Larry Nance also..Nobody wanted Davis :lol:

Yeah, Nance probably kicked in his tv screen over that one. I did like some of his old school references, though. Raef LaFrentz! Although comparing Baldwin to Reggie was the one that got me - he was the pick I wanted.

This would have been my Jalen for Ellenson -

"If Henry works on his outside jumper and stays fifteen feet away from Drummond at all times, he could be the next Charlie Villanueva. Charlie made almost fifty million in the League, and he SUCKED!"

Yeah, why was Jalen always referring to how much money guys made in the league? Crappy players have gotten rich. That was just bizarre.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Murphy put up 15-10 on 40% 3p in his prime. I'll take it.

.....on a 20 win Golden State team.

Charlie put up 16 and 7 on a 20 win Milwaukee team. Hollow numbers on crap teams.
