2008-2009 NBA Season

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Dumars draft Darko????

nobody's perfect
every GM makes mistakes

 

[DJT]

Eh...kinda. ROTY is the biggest one. Greene is more of a hopeful thing. But I think Bayless could win. I mean he could become the starting PG for the Sonics. And who knows, he might do well.

i was talking about the Hornets and Bulls...

Yea, but calling him the SMARTEST GM, I mean Darko was a horrible pick. I thought so on draft day. I was like why pick some foreign guy who hasn't even put up huge numbers...

Bulls is a reach, but the Hornets could get there. They will most likely have a better team next year, and if everyone stays healthy, they will be deadly.

fair enough
i'll hold judement til preseaon
if they still have a weak bench, then....

 

[DJT]

Well they still have Wright, who started playing well at the end of last season. Pargo was doing pretty dang good. And they will daft and hopefully sign someone to help out the bench, so it should improve.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Well seeing as I won't be able to see if any of these come true...i'm gonna go out on some limbs.

MVP- LeBron James/Chris Paul
ECF- Celtics over Bulls
WCF- Hornets over Spurs
Finals- Hornets over Celtics
ROTY- Bayless or Greene

Oh and I agree with CC, Amir has not shown anything yet really...sure a couple games here and there, but til I see more...he's just not cuttin it.

Well to me and what i saw this year AJ is doing a damn good job in the limited amount of minutes he gets.

 

[RipCity32]

Correct me if I'm wrong DJT, but didn't the Pistons win it all the year we won it all, traded for Rasheed that year, ended up getting money to sign Billups, and getting the pick to take Stuckey.


All that > Darko
Yeah ok so Dumars didn't make 1 right choice, but he sure as hell made up for it didn't he?

lol WOW. Best (and most accurate) statement I think you have ever made Rip lol. :rotfl:

 

[RipCity32]

The year we picked Darko**
You know that what I mean't, come on...

 

[DJT]

Yea, but the #2 overall pick didn't help them any.

Which if it was Melo, Bosh, Wade, Kaman, Hinrich, TJ Ford, Mikael Pietrus, Marcus Banks, Nick Collison, David West, Boris Diaw, Travis Outlaw, Kendrick Perkins, Leandro Barbosa, Josh Howard, and even Mike Sweetney would of done better than Milcic, and helped out more.

*Note I didn't bother going into the 2nd round.

But you didn't see what I said.

We basically got 1 title, 4 ECF apperences, Sheed, Stuckey all just for Darko.

 

[DJT]

How did you get Sheed, 1 title, 4 ECF appearances, and Stuckey for Darko???? Darko was there for the title, and he was there with Sheed, and for who know how many ECF appearances...

 

[RipCity32]

Cause the reason we got Sheed is cause Darko was such a dissapointment.
Without Sheed we don't get that Title, or any of the rest of the ECF apperences.
We then traded Darko and Arroyo for Cato and 2007 1st round pick from Orlando. We took Stuckey with that pick.

Without drafting Darko, nothing happens. It was a huge chain reaction.

 

[DJT]

Yea, but sub in Bosh for Darko and boom its right there.

 

[RipCity32]

Can your prove that though? No..

 

[yezzir]

Are you sure you need Sheed if you had D Wade or Melo?

 

[RipCity32]

Why would we want Melo or Wade if we had Tayshaun and Rip at the time?

 

[yezzir]

Why do the pistons want Melo now if you have Rip and Prince? lol
