Seadragon76 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 From ESPN's draft blog:"The Sonics will take Brook Lopez or Jerryd Bayless at No. 7. However it seems Lopez will be the guy."Are they really trying to destroy any remaining goodwill in Seattle for the team with this shoddy drafting? Sure, they did well with Durant, but he fell in their lap. They HAD to take him, no choice. Now they're reverting back to the days when Saer Sene and Johan Petro and Robert Swift were their first round picks. And those were with a different GM! The more things change the more they stay the same.First off, the Sonics have the 4th pick in the draft. Get it right.Secondly, getting Brook Lopez is not a bad idea. In case you haven't realized it yet, but the Sonics need a big man to help compete in the uber-hard Western Conference. Plus, they have six picks out of the 60 picks in the draft. They will get the help that Durant probably needs. If the pieces falls correctly, then Seattle has a nice comeback and falls short of the playoffs.

gingerbreadmann Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Beasley goes #2, Mayo 3 to the Wolves. All the speculated logo changes have been confirmed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 WTF?!?!The Sonics take Russell Westbrook with the 4th pick... Uh, hello? What about freaking Lopez?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbreadmann Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 HAHA, Knicks choose Danilo and the place erupts in boo's. I don't think they'll be booing him for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEWJ Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Wow. Nice job picks 4-9, great job passing up Brook Lopez.Big steal by the Nets, good job using their medulla oblongatas (controls involuntary actions.) And what's the deal, Cavaliers, they should've taken Darrell Arthur IMO. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I just caught the list of picks and it had some stuff about pending trades to POR, DET, DET, IND, and a couple others, yet I somehow missed most of the trade talk. (IND refers to the #17 pick with the Jermaine O'Neal to Toronto trade, but there were a bevy of teams with "pending trade" talk next to their picks, and I haven't heard anything from them.)Also, did anyone notice the graphics behind the podium? Every team had its own graphic in the team colors saying the first and last name of every team that was making its selection (location name and team nickname)... that is, except for one that I noticed. For whatever reason, the Seattle SuperSonics just has "Sonics." I guess Stern is still pulling for that relocation as soon as next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowBoutThemFins Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 memphis fans, get ready for some GAY-LOVE!!!EDIT: so much for that idea. grizz send love, mike miller, + others to the wolves for mayo, antoine walker, and marko jaric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'd laugh if Beasley fell out of the top five. But I can't see him slipping past 3.Sleeper top 15 pick, Mario Chalmers. NBA Scouts say he's one of the more "NBA-Ready" players in the draft.We all know he can hit the shot with everything on the line.YAAAY! The Timberwolves drafted Chalmers!! Ohhh, they traded him to the Heat for 2 2nd round picks. God I hate this team. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 HAHA, Knicks choose Danilo and the place erupts in boo's.Does anyone even know or remember the last time Knick fans cheered a pick? Patrick Ewing??Twelve months from now, New York will probably regret taking "The Rooster" over Lopez ...and Gordon ...and Augustin ...and Bayless ...the list goes on.

Proposed trade was all set, just contingent on the Wolves not taking OJ Mayo. They did, and the Sonics-Clips trade was off. You're welcome for the information.And if you're counting on Brook Lopez to counter the skilled big men that populate the Western, you haven't seen the kid play. The Sonics will be celebrating their 5 year anniversary in Oklahoma before he starts to show dividends (if ever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harperdc Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 god I hate the Lopez twins.and Kevin Pritchard is the smartest man in the NBA. the Trail Blazers got exactly what they needed: a talented point guard who is another scoring option and quick enough to guard point guards on the defensive end. Bayless won't be relied on to bring the ball up a ton because that'll be Brandon Roy's job more and more often; he might play the 2 and dial his own number a lot, but Roy will also be handling more than last year.man, we're getting Bayless, Oden, and Fernandez as rookies next year...life is good. The Blazers are going to start owning stuff in two years. Life is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 god I hate the Lopez twins.I was hoping other one slipped to 21 so the Nets could have drafted them both, that could have been interesting like the Sedins. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopskid Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 On a more uni related note...anyone else notice that Robin Lopez is holding a weird nets ball. That's supposed to be a Nets road jersey, which should say NEW JERSEY. The font style is the same but it says NETS, anyway just thought that was weird.Back to the draft talk Solid picks all around, I can't wait to see how the Kings improve with their pick.
