Chuck...A source of knowldge for all says:
Sonics may get the first pick, if they do, they bet not get Roce, them cats got too many point gaurds as it is. The got ridner and Watson locked up until 2010.I don’t even know about drafting beasley, dude is 6′9, durant is 6′9 and jeff green is 6′9. What the f*ck u gone do with 3 small forwards when 2 are supposed to be the future of your franchise. I would use my pick as trade bait and get some experience if I were them, that’s AFTER I get rid of Carlesimo. That coach sucks, dude ain’t never make out the 1st round of the playoffs, EVER, certified loser!

Chuck, saying the Sonics shouldn’t get Rose cuz they have Ridnour and Watson would be like the Hawks 3 years ago saying, “We don’t need CP3, we have Royal Ivey and Tyron Lue.” Trade one of those clowns if it comes to it, they’re both backups anyway.

and Beasley will probably be a 4 in the pros…

@Celts fan
You think Beasley is strong enough to be a 4 in the pros?
May 20th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Celts Fan says:
Not right away, but Durant’s not strong enough yet either. Let him grow into it and I think he’ll be fine. He’s got a great post game (and a lineup 2-4 of all guys 6′9″ would be pretty imposing, so it’s not a bad idea if you get Be Easy…)
and in terms of the backup PGs, if you’re willing to take less value than you really think they’re worth just to get rid of them OR you package them with something somebody would want, there are always ways to trade someone if your GM is creative enough and wants to make it happen enough.

GEE...My knee bone's connected to my hardy-har-har-har says:
Yo Sonics could get Rose or Beasley but I do think they should go the trade route right away.
DIME make sure you all give Houston someone good in that mock draft now. Houston probably needs to go the trade route to land a pure pg so draft wise they need to go a 6′9 or 6′10 lanky, agile cat that can create his own shot and score. Houston is straight on D.
What I am afraid will happen is being that Deke hasn’t given the official word of if he is out or not (at least I haven’t heard) Houston is prolly going to get a back up center for Yao.
Then Deke is going to get that bug and say he is coming back for one more and all the sudden you got what should have been a first draft for an agile, tall power forward (think Lamar Odom or KG’ish) and you have that first important pick waisted on a back up center. I so hope this doesn’t happen.
Boston wins tonight.

djKianoosh says:
Beasley a 4? i think not. Amare, Duncan, KG, etc will eat him alive.
Maybe a 3. but I was thinking more of a badass 2 on a big team.
May 20th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
djKianoosh says:
that is, if he has a jumper.. i know he’s big, but he’d be sick as a 2 sometimes.

sometimes i look at some of these posts…and i’m like… whaaaaat?????
May 20th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
DaPro says:
No way beasley plays 2. I can’t really see him playing 3.
He can go 4 against Amare they are about the same height and Beas has him on the weight, I think.
@ Gee
Houston could use an athletic Small who shoot and go off the dribble. Somebody like Rudy Gay!! Battier does his thing though so I ain’t mad.

Prince shutting down Double P, whom called Prince overrated on defense. Prince remembers, I would.

@sometimes
Nobody here has all the facts about basketball or else we’d be coaching somewhere or playing somewhere. Just give the knowledge you have. contructive criticism helps to build us all, but criticism itself does nothing.
So what on the post made you say, “whaattt?”

1 hour till game time!!!!!
the anticipation of this series….i can’t believe its finally here…It’s like opening a present on christmas morning…happy to get what you want (pistons win) very mad if you dont (pistons loss.)
I’m thinking the game will be close and Pistons will out execute in the 4th quarter to take game 1. Look for them to be down like 8 after the first quarter or something. Then they’ll get their rhythm in the second quarter.
At least I hope I am right haha.

@ Remy Nguyen
That would be Double P himself, whom I remember saying Ben and Sheed made Prince look a LOT better than he was one on one…I think Pierce will realize how good he is over 7 games, especially after Prince blocks him at the rim.

The sonics got Durant last year though? It woyuld have been greedy for them to get two top 3 picks.

a lot of dudes looked PISSED. moreso than usual.
Larry Bird in particular went from jovial joking with the Sacramento fan lady to wanting to strangle everyone in the room.

I also peeped Hoiberg looking extremly gassed face after getting the 3rd pick
