2009 NBA Draft

[VC15]

We have a lot of PF's, but they all suck lol.

According to 82games.com we had the least production in the league out of our PF's.

 

[Pugz]

Tyler is Jason Maxiell version 2, only with a somewhat better game. I like him a lot but he's no lottery pick IMO. He should be taken 16-24.

 

[dez]

Hansbrough is bottom 1st round talent IMO

Limited offensive game, has a nice jumper out to 12 feet and a "flip" shot

He'll be a dissapointment.

 

[RipCity32]

Pugz we should just keep them and send them over-seas. No need adding more CAP anywhere.

And Tyler to NJ is great news

 

[VC15]

Clark honestly won't be much better than Tyler

 

[RipCity32]

Your right, he will be a lot better

 

[dez]

Clark has way more potential though, Hanbrough will be a DLee player (with less athleticism) at best.

 

[VC15]

If potential matters that much then DeMar DeRozan should be a top three pick.

 

[dez]

Thats a retarded statement.

Of course potential matters, 99% of rookies are drafted high based on their potential.

But its obvious that any move the Nets make is a great move to you, so theres no need to even debate.

 

[VC15]

The majority of the Nets moves have worked out pretty well lately aside from the RJ deal which was purely for CAP reasons.

POSTED: June 24 -- 8:21 p.m. ET

Ric Bucher: Latest talk out of Sacramento is that the Kings are no longer interested in taking Ricky Rubio, or at best are in hot debate about whether to take him or Tyreke Evans or Jonny Flynn.

Another smoke screen

 

[Mexi]

Lakers are likely to trade pick #29

I wonder who will bite?

maybe a morrison/farmar/#29 for someone?
lol probably not. we're probably just getting cash

 

[MapleLeaf]

yeah #29 pick sucks

its basically a 2nd rounder but he gets a guaranteed 3 year deal lol

 

[Mexi]

thats why lakers dont want it haha

no point on a guaranteed contract for a guy who won't play anyways. lakers are only gonna carry 13 next year too

 

[MapleLeaf]

espn draft preview special starting finally, an hour late thanks to CWS

SMFH, no SAS, instead, Jon Barry

Another rumor that is making the rounds is that Oklahoma City may be working on a deal with the New York Knicks that would involve drafting Rubio and then shipping him to the Knicks in July in a sign and trade for David Lee. The tricky part would be coming to terms with Lee on an appropriate contract figure before the pick is made, since technically they are not allowed to negotiate, and Lee likely does not yet know what his true value on the open market. He is reportedly looking for around 11 million dollars a year.

Still, considering his restricted status, and the fact that there are precious few teams with substantial cap space this summer, Oklahoma City could be a very attractive destination for Lee if his agent can reach a handshake agreement with their front office. It seems like the Thunder definitely have eyes for him. The only question is whether they are willing to part with Rubio to make that happen.

 

[.GR]

You think the Kings are just saying Rubio did bad and saying they aren't interested any more just to try and lower his value?

 

[.GR]

A source, however, says that there's one huge missing piece in the picture: GM Geoff Petrie has stayed quiet as the debate has raged over what to do and he continues to have the biggest voice on the basketball staff. ... everal GMs and scouts believe the talk of not taking Rubio is merely a smoke screen to keep Minnesota or the Knicks or any other team interested in him from making deals to jump ahead of the Kings in order to get Rubio.

Indications we’re receiving are that Sacramento appears to be leaning towards drafting Jonny Flynn, even in the scenario that Oklahoma City decides to pass on Ricky Rubio. The wildcard here are the team owners, the Maloofs, who are extremely high on the Spanish point guard and could decide to assert their own will and make the front office pick Rubio.

Sam Ammick:

Best guess right now: Evans will be the Kings' pick if he's there, and moving down remains much more of a possibility than moving up.
