2008 NBA Draft Thread

[P2]

Batum and Ibaka will go 26 and 27.

Courtney Lee was a great pick for Orlando. Koufos is interesting but too similar to Okur for my tastes, still that might help him find his niche in the league.

Surprised by the Ryan Anderson selection. That team needs some wing players right? How many bigs do they have now? 7? 8?

Wow if we get a little lucky Jordan or Greene would be a huge steal.

Batum and Ibaka will go 26 and 27.

Wasn't there a letter sent out to NBA teams to avoid Ibaka in the first round because he was going to sign a contract in Spain through 2010-2011?

Wow if we get a little lucky Jordan or Greene would be a huge steal.

I have a feeling if either of them fell to us, we would trade the pick.  They both are a ways away from contributing, and I don't think the C's are interested in developing anyone on their payroll.

I don't think Ainge will pick someone who wants to play in the NBA next yr. He wants a guy who will stay in Europe I believe.

Kevin Mchale is the Matt Millen of the NBA....all he does is draft (or trade for on draft day) is wing players. I understand they are usually the best players available at that spot but how does another wing player help the T-Wolves?

[vjcsmoke]

Well there goes Ibaka.

Seattle Supersonics Select: Serge Ibaka F Congo

[gc1530]

Guess I was wrong about that memo...either that or the Sonics didn't receive it.

[Bahku]

Wow ... I'm loving how this is shaping up for us ... truly! (Crosses fingers on other hand).

What?

I did not expect that.

What is Bird doing in Indiana??

Bayless and Diogu for Rush, McRoberts, and Jack.

That was a steal by the up-and-coming Blazers.  Bayless will be far better than Jack.  Diogu is a good scoring 4, esp next to Oden.  The Pacers already have so many wings, why Rush?  They have Danny Granger, Dunleavy, Rush's brother Kareem, Marquise Daniels, and Shawne Williams!!!  Also, I definitely would have taken Darell Arthur instead of Roy Hibbert to replace Jermaine O'Neal.  I have to say Bird is doing a terrible job as much as I love the man.

Serge Ibaka

When will Seattle learn...ummm...i mean Oklahoma.

I'm glad Koufos and Ibaka are gone.
