Well they're pinning all their hopes on Kevin Durant. I mean, the future.

Wizards take Dominic McGuire. I won't lie to you. I have absolutely no idea who he is. Anybody? 3.6 blocks per game isn't bad though.

 

[Ghostvirus]

What pick are they on?

 

[bananafish]

They're officially announcing it.

Ray Allen and Glen Davis
for
Jeff Gree, Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak

EDIT: Pick 49, Chicago.

 

[DBella]

It's for the future, my dear.

Yes, yes, I know they are building the team around Durant now. It's obvious. Lewis will most likely be gone too. It's still a shocker. I'll calm down soon enough.

Actually, they're saying now that the Sonics will try like hell to keep Lewis now that Allen is gone. Sucks for us if he stays.

 

[Ghostvirus]

The Bulls were one pick away from maybe actually getting a Gasol.

Aaron Gray seems cool. Statistically he seemed to get better each year he played in college. That is a good sign.

On Curry - He averaged 17 pts. last season. Not bad. It'll be interesting to see how all these cats fit.

 

[DarthRekal]

Somebody, anybody, please convince me the trade was worth it. As far as I am concerned, and most Sonics fans would agree, Ray Allen WAS the Seattle Supersonics. His leadership on and off the court will be sorely missed.

no .. it's not worth.. seattles ownership is selling you a bill of goods.. they tryin to high tail it out of seattle.. sorry bella i cant lie to you i love ya too much..

join me on the Bobcats bandwagont:

Charlotte in 08 BABY!

 

[bananafish]

Blazers are starting to look real good.

Not sure about Green, could end up being a decent second-third PG. But Nichols is a good pick for the second round.

 

[Mister J]

Woooo! Miami traded that Stanko cat for a second rounder in 2009.

no ish with another leet team in the west.. the lakers look to be dismal for some time.. i say trade kobe now while we still can

Miami doesn't need to do much. Except maybe give Larry Brown a job, & let Riley go back to his desk job.

So what I am getting from you. Is that you want Kobe traded?

to Chicago... for Gordon Deng and Noah!

*Smacks Rekal* Bad Rekal... Bad!

Getting a point guard wouldn't hurt my feelings.

I'm going to delude myself into thinking that the reported 3M the Heat picked up from the Philly trade is going toward defraying luxury tax costs as they try to bring in another gun.

 

[L.A.]

First I want to say why the **** didnt the clips pick Nick Young???!!! We need a SG you can shoot and create his own shot!!! WTF! I know we probably got a steal in Al Thornton but the dude cant create his own shot and he turns the ball over too much! No way he's getting playing time for the clips this year with dumbleavy!!!

Now to the blazers why the **** do you trade a player like Zach for freaking Has been Steve Francis and one hit wonder in Frye???!!!! Makes no ****ing sense!!! YOu need a SF!!! A veteran SF!!! You could have gotten Rasherd Lewis, Lamar Odom, Gerald Wallace, Richard Jefferson, or Mo Pete????!!! But you get two bums and one bum who has more money than all the other bums in the world!!

On to the sonics and Celtics: I love the trade for both teams! Boston gets an All star shooter in Ray Allen and they can really contend in eastern conference and they dont really give up any of there young guys!!! maybe ill see you guys in the finals!!! Sonics get to start over with Durant and Green!!! Durant the superstar scorer! Jeff Green the best Point foward since Pippen??? Hmmmm! Nice job sonics!!!

J-rich for the 8th pick Wright!: Good trade for both teams! You get legit veteran sg for th bobcats that they deserpately need! And Wright will fit sooo perfectly in that Don Nelson system!!!

Overall its been a good trade, some surprised here and there but pretty much what I expected. Defintely been one of the exciting drafts i've ever seen, cant wait til next season!

Anyone in mind?

 

[bananafish]

DarthRekal, are you a Lakers fan or Bobcats fan? Or on the fence?

Herb Hill is good value for #55. Solid developmental big. He broke out his last year at Providence.

I don't think they trade Gordon and Deng in the same trade.

Learning about J-Rich's contract, I'm starting to agree with Stephen A. Smith (as much as I hate to), Richardson is not worth $48 mil in guaranteed.

Unh-unh
