2007 NBA Draft Thread

[Jay [FSU]]

Oh, the freefall was nonexistant, and I stand corrected. Lol.

[Just Blaze]

Lakers got Crittenton....EXCELLENT pick! I love his upside and he'll replace Smush Parker as the starter in the next year or so.

I love the Tech kids in this draft. I think Young and Crittenton are studs, to be honest.

Zach Randolph is capable of 23 and 10.

If he can stay out of jail.

Someone is forgetting about Jordan Farmar.

Jordan Farmar is NOT going to work out in LA.

Besides....point guard in a triangle offense? They won an NBA Title with freaking Ron Harper.

Is there an echo?

And to whoever said I was a dumbass for putting Big Baby in the first round, I think you need to do more research. He lost another 50 pounds, and has had many impressive workouts. Especially with the Rockets, and Adelman was impressed with him.

You are the one that needs to do more research, considering among GM's he's a second rounder at best.

[detroitbasketball]

And Houston selects Aaron Brooks.

Davis is NOT first round material, especially after he hurt himself working out for Philly.

Yeah, Adelman liked him so much, they decided to not draft him... you make two very bad predictions, back both of them up, admit one was a mistake but defend the other one and even call me out on it, and now look like an idiot.

Congratulations Super Cool Jay, you prove again you don't know much of what you're talking about...

Going by what that says.

[Just Blaze]

well here are my winners and losers of one of the most exciting drafts I've seen since the 2003 one....

Winners
-Blazers (obviously): Not only did they draft the best big man to enter the league, they also dumped Zach Randolph and stole Taurean Green/Demetris Nichols/ and Derrick Byars(I think his rights were traded). Great draft for this young organization.

-Seattle (obviously): They get Durant as well as Jeff Green while trading their aging superstar in Ray Allen in order to bring in Delonte West and Wally Szcerbiak. This team is rebuilding and what a way to start by getting Durant/Green. They also STOLE Carl Landry in the second round.

Atlanta: They got Horford and Law. I like that tandem.

Wizards: My team had a great draft although we only had two players. Im feelin our pick in the second round, Dominic McGuire, because he's a sleeper.


Looooosers
-Bobcats: WHY would Charlotte trade Brandan Wright for Jason Richardson? I think The Warriors got the better end of the deal because anyone can do well in a run and gun offense while Charlotte must of forgotten they could resign Gerald Wallace. I dont think J-Rich will fit in with the Bobcats at all. Horrible move by MJ.

-Philly: I wasnt filling their draft. They got players that'll make an impact 4 years down the road right now. They also waisted the 30th pick when they could of draft a seasoned college player or something.

-Lakers: Crittenton is a great pick but they waisted their second round picks on foreign talent. I know they probably had interest in landing Pau Gasol on their team but when they found out they couldnt, they did the next best thing- take his brother.

[dkgojackets]

Everyone around here thinks that the Richardson deal was a good move. They have needed a scorer from the 2 spot for three years now. But not only do they get a player who can give 20 per, Johnson proved that he is willing to spend $50 mil over the next four years and is trying to make the playoffs now, which is very possible in the east if Wallace is resigned (Carroll too). That is what's most important, because a lot of people doubted if he was willing to spend any more than he had to.

I also have to say that taking Dudley was a great move. He is a solid player and should add depth behind Wallace. I don't know much about the Alabama guy in the trade.

[Sportsbuck]

David pretty much nailed it right on the head.

[USN]

from Golden state's standpoint it was a good move because of the money issue, and the Bobcats got a veteran, instead of getting younger because they don't need any more young players

Wheres Boston?

[Just Blaze]

I forgot about them....really. I like the idea of a Ray Allen/Pierce duo but I dont know if nabbing a 32 year old superstar was the way to go.
