was there a second trade IP? you said first trade earlier


Oh and TP for all the great work. While we have a lull shower this exceptional commissioner with TPs

Ha, I haven't been very exceptional today. Its been a crappy friday.

I'm waiting on the 2nd confirm from the 2nd trade.

I think Camby, in terms of value, was an excellent pick this round. Starting caliber center that can still impact the game at his age.

Camby, Hill, J Kidd, J O'Neal are all in the same boat. They'd on the precipice of a huge decrease of physical abilities and mentally have begun to say goodbye to the game.

Every year with them is a gift basically, and really christmas is just about over, if it isn't over already.

With pick 5.20 the Utah Jazz select Andre Miller.

I forget where it was said, but one of the most interesting things about Brandon Roy is that his selfishness has seemingly increased with the decrease of his health and abilities, where it should be the opposite.

Having a hard time accepting what has happened to him.

Might take another season before B.Roy comes around and redevelops his game to fit his new found athletic decline.

He showed some promise during the playoffs. I think the best role for him right now is a spot up shooter. He's a really good shooter already. Running around screens and shooting.

I would not want to stand near B.Roy while he is running around screens.  I bet his knee sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard.

For having relatively healthy NBA careers, JJ and Bosh combined do not posses the passion and desire to win that BRoy has.  

You're entitled to your opinion but desire to win doesn't help when you're physically limited.

Question though, how many minutes do you plan to play Roy? and will you be keeping him as a starter.

I'm going with Kirk Hinrich.

I'm going with Kirk Hinrich.

Wow -- Hinrich, Wade, Iggy, Kenyon and Varejao

That is a lot of defense.

Did I miss wdleehi's pick?

He missed his time

talk about D. And a super scorer in D.Wade, i think this is the team to beat.

He is the starter. I was going to pick a SF with my pick but I would rather make sure Terry has someone to come off the bench for. Terry will still take the bulk of the minutes.

A desire to win is what players like KG, GHill, JKidd bring to a team when they can't put up numbers like they used to.

Hinrich and Miller were both fantastic picks, and I hope Rondo2287 just cried a little.

[StartOrien]

There's a bit of a head-scratching trend going on here though, or lack of trend should I say.

[Rondo2287]

Hinrich and Miller were both fantastic picks, and I hope Rondo2287 just cried a little.

Why does everybody hope for me to lose these things.  I will never understand.  I always play these games like a gentleman

Well I guess it's a good thing I took GHill (both of them  )
