2005 NBA Draft

[Bmore]

David Lee was a nice pick at 30 for the Knicks.

 

[SuperNova854]

the 2006 draft is worse. Baically only 3 good players came out of it. Everyone else are busts

 

[LC AAU]

DerMarr 2000 draft

therefore that is the best draft.

Only 3?

Bargnani
Aldridge
Roy
Foye
Gay
Rondo
Millsap
Ronnie Brewer
Tyrus Thomas.. I guess

Not the greatest draft but still a young one with some nice players in it.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

LaMarcus Aldridge
Brandon Roy
Rudy Gay
Rajon Rondo

Theres 4, gotcha.

Mother fuckers need to stop sleeping on Bargs..

Mother fuckers need to stop sleeping on Bargs..

Not so much sleeping on him but for a #1 pick hasn't exactly been a great pick, especially considering some of the people who were drafted behind him.

Hes coming around.. he made great strides last year after Sam got fired and especially after O'Neal was traded. This guy is going to be a force.. very few NBAers possess that all-around skill set for his size. I expect him to take another leap this year.

Of course you do. It's like meatball Bulls fans waiting for Tyrus Thomas to come around.

Barg is at best a poor mans Dirk.

In any case people sleep on him because better players (to this point in their careers) were taken after him and like it or not the #1 player is expected to be the best player taken in the draft.
I wouldn't label him a bust but I also wouldn't blame people for glancing by him when reviewing the good players that came out of this draft because he has underperformed for a #1 pick especially in relative terms to guys taken after him.

I was so on the Granger bandwagon for orlando when he fellto them at 9

I wanted either Granger or Gerald Green, both ended up slipping, one turned out to be a star, the other hasnt developed yet

and the magic selected Fran, who is not only the ugliest guy in the world, but has no interest in coming to the NBA whatsoever

which always made me wonder why he put his name int he draft to begin with, and not only that, was in the green room for the draft. Didnt make sense to me

Yeah still beats the hell out of the 2000 draft.

I am going to say for the 100th time or whatever that I always knew picking Joey Graham over Granger was going to be a dumb move for the Raptors, they had him fall right into their laps, and they shoved him off their lap.

What? In all acutallity you were wrong in that thread. You were saying the Bulls drafted Crawford when in technicality they did not.

I never said the Bulls "drafted Crawford". In fact all I alluded to was the fact that as a result of that draft the Bulls had Crawford as a result of one of their 5 picks. I never said the Bulls directly took Crawford at all until I started speculating on how NBA Draft Day Trades work...

I dont know what in your brain dead mind you thought you were explaining to me, but believe me, there is nothing basketball related that YOU can explain to me. Not by a long fucking shot.

Actually there's plenty.

See:

Fizer had some promise until he blew out his knee but never really had a position in the NBA. And Crawford wasn't bad for us. He was basically a taller Ben Gordon. Electric scorer at times and nothing else..then we traded him away.

Still a putrid draft though when you even have Fizer adn Crawford in the convo as some of the better prospects/players.

Well, in technicality the Bulls drafted Mihm.. but yeah I kinda overlooked that pick turning into Crawford instead.

Its funner to just say it was Mihm.. makes the draft look even worse.

Well yeah but they took Mihm with the understanding the Cavs wanted him and would take Crawford to give to the Bulls.

IIRC the way the NBA Draft trades work is the trades aren't announced until after the picks have been made but he team have prearrnaged agreements on who they will take for the purposes of the trade.

Yeah the same thing happened when the Raptors drafted Antwan Jamison and the Warriors drafted Vince Carter.

Dont really understand why things like this happen.. why wouldnt Toronto just take Vince Carter? Perhaps a contract thing.

Maybe?

Just one of those odd rules the NBA Draft has I guess.

Behind the scenes though isn't the other team technically making the pick?

For example with the Tyrus Thomas LaMarcus Aldridge deal. Even though it was announced the Bulls took Aldridge wasn't the pick already traded and the Blazers were the one making the choice? Even though the trade wasn't formally announced until after Khryapa was taken in the 2nd Rd to fulfill the trade?

Or from that same draft. The Bulls and 76ers swung a deal where Sefolosha went 13th overall to the "76ers" even though the 76ers had agreed to trade the 13th pick for the 16th when the "Bulls" took Rodney Carney. Even though the commish announces it as the original positioned team making the pick the trade has already been agreed upon and the respective teams are making the picks(The Bulls made the 13th choice, the 76ers the 16th) and the deal is announced after both teams have selected.

Show me anywhere in there where I state for a fact that: "The Bulls took Crawford"

And sorry that I cant stop posting even after I said I would.. I cant help but to expose idiots for what they are over, and over, and over again.

Done posts +4 and 5?!?!

Wow.

Done +6?

 

[mfbmike]

Let it go.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Show me anywhere where you're informing me of anything? Not a single thing you said was a damn thing I didnt know. You posting the deals that the Blazers and Bulls made doesnt show me anything that I didnt I already know

Major fail at you for even bringing this up. Good lord you are a failure of life man. Just give it up.

I dont know TBH...

Ha!

Now I'm done in here too.

Muah XOXO

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Yeah and you didnt know either you fucking moron. Tell me where you came up to a conclusion as to why things are done this way? The fact that you're bringing this up proves that you're grasping at strings and failing to do so aswell.

End yourself.

Was searching for a pic of Granger on google images and stumbled upon this. I love looking at past drafts. Granger was drafted all the way at 17. Major steal?

Anyway, look at the studs drafted before him. Ike Diogu, Fran Vazquez?, Yaroslav Korolev?

And of course, the notorious Marvin Williams before Chris Paul selection. It's so incredible how a draft/draft lottery completely changes the course of a team and of the entire league for years down the road. Butterfly effect to the max.

GO. Just leave. Now. I hate you.

(bangs head against wall four-hundred times)

Asshole.

 

[JMeist]

Andrew Bogut was the best #1 pick ever

 

[Esjay]

So happy we took Granger instead of Gerald Green. If Green was white we'd be fucked though.
