Official 2K8 NBA Draft Thread

Get rid of Ben Wallace, he is useless (but probably no takers). Keep Delonte West just for the quotes.

[jyoung]

Yep, Wallace should be trading priority number one.

Did you see that play at the end of the game yesterday where he caught the ball on the block late in the clock, and with no defenders near him, could have turned around and shot a layup, but instead, passed it out to Lebron so he could take a contested 3?

I mean fuck, my high school coach would have benched that guy and chewed him out for not at least turning around and looking to see if you've got a wide-open layup.

Predictions for tonight?

I'm going to go with New Orleans.

[Othello Harrington]

San Antonio I hope, but NO probably will take it.

[EightBitShik]

Lakers, Spurs, or NO would smash the Celts YAWA

West >>>> East in every nuance of the game.

That's the truth mmmmmm.

I'm rooting for Spurs just cause they can beat Lakers whereas I don't think Hornets can.

[Nash]

I think both teams have a good chance of beating the Lakers.

[aren]

I think both teams have a good chance of beating the Lakers.

Spurs have a better chance.

Charles Barkley just said he's not going to gamble anymore on TNT. Anyone want to put money on an over/under on his next bet?

[Geo]

Wild card is some deal to get Baron Davis if Golden State is looking for cap space.

I thought I heard Davis is going to be a FA this offseason?

[Gooch]

GS would be open to a sign and trade for cap relief when their alternative is BD walking away with nothing in return. I'm just making this assumption, I haven't read of any sort of rumor like this.

I love how the Spurs are fronting Paul with Kurt Thomas about 15-18 feet out to prevent him from penetrating. What this shows me is that Paul doesn't have the confidence to take and nail that 15-18 footer because he has it if he wants it. The Spurs obviously know this and so far they're being proven right. A weakness has been found and exploited. That's what champs do. It's like when Ric Flair would stomp on your leg, do atomic drops on your leg, etc., to set you up for that figure four.
