Rose goes first.
And OJ Mayo looks like a teacher.

Hmmm, I figured the Knicks wanted Westbrook...wonder what that does to their draft board.

Yes we have, but at this point, the problem isn't getting an arena built around skyscrapers. It's that these skyscrapers (and condos and malls and other commercial developments) are never going to be built unless the current economic climate is flipped on it's ear. Commercial real estate values dropping, cap rates escalating, inability to get financing, price of steel rising, etc makes it impossible at the planned level. And as you and I know, the Brooklyn arena was publicized as being the main component of this project, but that's just Ratner's guise for the billions he was trying to make on the commercial property. |

I'm not a Nets fan (although I like to see them do well), but if I were, I'd hope like hell that management understands that they don't have Brooklyn to fall back on.

Same boat you're in (like to see them do well..) though if they played in Newark, I think I'd adopt them. Management probably doesn't care where they play, so long as RATner keeps signing the checks. Last edited by Young Drachma : 06-26-2008 at 07:08 PM. |

Not saying he won't be good, but this was just awesome. |

It's nice to know that the guy who pimps Gallinari the hardest, Fraschilla, drools yet describes him as just a "very good player" at best.

Yeah, this is infinitely better than the "sunrise to sunset" NFL draft.

I hope the team that was hoping for Brook Lopez to fall to them is watching in HD and sees a 7 foot guy FUCKING CRYING!

Even though the Pacers just traded for T.J. Ford, I really hope they take Jerryd Bayless.

There have been five picks made after the Knicks picked Gallinari...and the 5 guys off the board all would've helped more.

Pacers got a real steal with Bayless. I like him more than Westbrook, although Westbrook is better defensively.

I'm really pumped the Pacers got a player with Bayless's potential with the 11th pick!

Dola, I'd much rather have him then Indianapolis native Eric Gordon. Bayless has point guard skills and Gordon doesn't. That would be okay if Gordon was taller then 6-3.

The best part is that announcers/commentators laugh at terrible jokes all the time. And even those three couldn't fake a chuckle.

Anthony Randolph...well...This is a repeat of Brandan Wright last year. I would be surprised if Randolph plays more than 30 games.

And another nice job from him there, as Speights apprently was 9th in the NBA in FG% last season. Lots of awkward looks all around.

I really wish the Pacers would have taken a gamble on Kosta Koufos, DeAndre Jordan, or Darrell Arthur rather then draft someone who is a sure thing, but never going to be anything more then an average player in the NBA.

Dola, all three of those players might end up being worse then Hibbert, but all three also have a much higher upside. Hibbert won't help the Pacers become an elite team again like they were when they had Rik Smits, Reggie Miller, Mark Jackson, and Dale Davis in the late 90s.
