God I hate looking at Bogut's picture.......we've got to get this to page 2.

How about we take a look at the positively dashing Marvin Williams instead?

I'm hoping Bogut goes #1, anything to help inject some life into basketball in this country. I think if Bogut goes #1, the Hawks select Deron Williams. If Marvin Williams goes #1, then the Hawks select Bogut.

And I will cut someone if the Warriors select Hakim Warrick. Ike Digou or bust! (I expect Granger to be gone by their pick). Warrick is a perfect fit for the Nets, I'd love to see him getting passes from Jason Kidd.
 
Time for more Aussies - GT's Luke Schenscher!

DM, I hope your team (do you even have a team?) gets burned by Big Bad Bogut this year! Damn you!

I'm still a Bulls fan, but I'm also a T-Mac fan!

And by the end of this offseason, ill make sure you are a Bogut fan!

Bogut is going #1 and Marvin Williams is going #2, you can be sure of that. The Bucks won't pass up a 7' Center and the Hawks aren't going to pass up a potential superstar for the next Andre Miller.
 
Nothing is certain on draft day. I think the Hawks don't want to get stuck in the situation where they have to draft Marvin because he's the second best player in the draft, I think they'll trade down.
 
NBATV will have every 1980s NBA Draft on Monday. Watch the Blazers skip over God for Bowie with a straight face!
 
Vince Carter and Antwan Jamison did it in 1998.

And it is looking very likely that two North Carolina teammates will be swapping hats again on Tuesday night.

- The Bobcats are actively courting the Hawks for the second pick in the draft and are dangling their two lottery picks, which will be hard for Billy Knight to pass up considering he already has a wealth of small forwards.

A deal that is contingent on Andrew Bogut being drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks appears to be in place where the Hawks will send the rights to Marvin Williams to the Bobcats in exchange for the rights to Raymond Felton at five and their favorite available power forward at thirteen.

from NBA matchup last night on ESPN:
Host: And now, staring into your crystal ball, who's going to the finals next year?

Scottie: [grinning and laughing and pointing into a basketball he's holding in his hand] Los Angeles Lakers... and Chicago Bulls. [laughs]

Host: [snickers] Whereever Phil Jackson has been... Greg, what about you?

Greg: [chuckling] Well, I'm going to go with the two teams we just saw [guffawing laugh] I wouldn't be surprised if they were back and I would be surprised if they weren't.

Host: [turns to Scottie and speaks sort of half underneath his breath] Are you serious... The Lakers and the Bulls?

Scottie: [half-laughing; half-serious] I'm Serious.

Host: [snorting this snicker underneath his breath and half-shaking his head from side to side and almost rolling his eyes] All right...

Scottie: [interrupts him slightly] Not just because he's going to coach...

Host: [laughing overlaps Scottie] All right...

Scottie: They have a secret. I'm serious.

Host: All right... Must be a huge secret that none of us know about...

Greg: I don't think they know the secret.

Scottie: [laughing] I know the secret.
 
Dammit! Why did the Bucks have to get the #1 pick? Why couldn't they have gotten #2?!?! Let Atlanta take him, please.

I don't like Bogut, but clearly the Bucks do. Which proves even more why I shouldn't like him. They have no clue what they are doing (bad trades, bad drafts, firing Porter they way they did...).


Where's Kohls buddy Majerus when we need him? (He doesn't like Bogut either...)

Fuck you DM!

There are kids who might be reading this forum. They shouldn't be allowed to see such graphic pictures of Magic or Nique.

I am going to remember this in 5 years when Jordan has gained 50 pounds and thinks he can still school the new players.

P.S. Beware of the Laker's secret!

What about the Jordan's secret?

Why is Jordan walking out of the women's bathroom? and why is he holding out a finger?! And why does he have that goofy Magic smile on his face?!?! :O

why does Jordan wear gigantic suits? you'd think with all the money he has he could get some shit custom fitted. Cheapass motherfucker.

He gets his suits from Magic's garage sales

"Didn't you get the memo DM?"
 
Ninja Scooter said:
:lol Probably. Tightwad probably goes over the Magic's house and goes through his closet. "This shit don't fit you no'mo Magic. Let me have it!"

Fits with what Barkley says is Jordan's position on charity, which is pretty much to laugh at the homeless and tell them to get jobs at McDonalds.
 
Times Picayune - With two days remaining before Tuesday's NBA draft, the Hornets are involved in trade discussions with the Toronto Raptors to get two first-round picks, according to league sources Saturday night.

The possible deal would involve the Hornets trading center Jamaal Magloire to Toronto for the Raptors' picks at Nos. 7 and 16. No other players have been mentioned in the trade discussions, sources said.

If the deal is made, the Hornets would have three picks in the first round.

It could be a struggle for the Hornets next month to land a high-profile free agent, so it appears they want to build through the draft to get a much-needed small forward or power forward in addition to selecting a point guard with their No. 4 pick.

League sources said the Hornets want the deal, but Toronto is somewhat hesitant about having to give up both of its first-round picks. There is a chance the Raptors could be more willing to give up their No. 7 pick and offer one of their current players as part of the deal.

Hornets general manager Allan Bristow and Toronto general manager Rob Babcock could not be reached for comment Saturday night

Damn, the Raptors would be getting fleeced if they gave up both their first rounders...

Jordan looks like he just got knocked out in the pic and is about to crumble to the floor. :lol

Loki's damage control should be humorous.

How many rings did A.C. win by abstaining from sex? Is it 4 or 5?
 
CHICAGO (AP) -- Kendall Gill's professional boxing debut was a slam dunk.

The NBA journeyman and former University of Illinois star scored a first-round technical knockout of Trevor Biley in his first professional bout Saturday night in Chicago.

Gill, a 6-foot-5, 199-pound shooting guard who has played 14 NBA seasons, knocked Biley (0-2-1) to the canvass three times before the referee stopped the cruiserweight fight at 1:58 of the opening round.

"My team prepared me exactly the way I'm supposed to be prepared," said Gill, who has trained for the last 18 months to begin his boxing career.

He won the fight too!

Don't be silly. :P Anyone who actually plays basketball (you know, as opposed to just commenting on it <ahem> ;) ) can tell from that picture that Jordan went for the strip of the ball by trying to cut in front of Green on the break and missed, allowing Green to lay it in.

If you were as good at analyzing people's body motions as you are at picking out the best piece of shrubbery to jump behind whenever a homeless man comes within 30 yards of you, you'd be a better man for it. :D

You were wrong about a couple of things Loki.

1. Even if your damage control of that hilarious picture is right and Jordan went for the ball and wasn't instead taken by A.C. Green's "legendary" crossover, that doesn't explain the absolute look of retardation of his face. Jordan looks like he just got knocked out by A.C. fucking Green. A.C. Green is the opposite of tough and manly(if his style of play wasn't enough evidence of that, his refrainment from all sorts of contact with women just cements it) . The combination of getting knocked the fuck out by A.C. Green and evidence that Jordan uses the girl's bathroom pretty much confirms that Jordan is a no good weirdo biotch.

2. Ninja Scooter may avoid dangerous beggars, but he will still give them some change as he is taking shelter from their murderous ways (a recent scientific Laker fan study shows that 90% of beggars are Jordaphiles, this is why all true Laker fans are afraid of homeless people). Ninja Scooter will still give the bums some change unlike your idol who will laugh at their plight and force 6 year old Pakistani and Indian kids to slave along to make DM's Air Jordans.

It's a picture-- they often catch people in awkward poses. :D Also, the only sort of "crossover" that AC was doing was likely the straight ---> gay kind. I mean, how else does one explain his complete and utter celibacy in the face of throngs of female groupies? Perhaps Isiah and Magic asked him to participate in a menage a trois? The world will never know. An inebriated Magic was seen stumbling out of AC's hotel room late one night muttering biblical verses, however. ;)
