TFoA Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 So who the hell is this guy the Hawks took in the second round?Nothing against these Euro guys, but it seems like very few of them even play meaningful minutes in the NBA, much less becoming good players. Seems like a relative waste of a pick. If you're gonna waste a pick, at least draft a guy that has somewhat of a local tie to the city or has some name value.One year, the Hawks drafted Hanno Mottala. That worked out well.idk, I think that the NBA is beginning to embrace the Euro movement. There are PLENTY of good or great Euro NBA players, and hopefully this guy will be the one that flourishes into them. I doubt it, but hopefully he'll fit into his role.Then again, it could be argued that the reason why so many Euro guys went in this draft was because it was such a weak draft, but who knows.

OnWis97 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I know there was not a lot of great size, but the Wolves baffled me. After taking Rubio, I'd think it would have made way more sense to take Curry. And maybe at least Blair at 28? I don't know. They probably took best available each time, I suppose.

Discrim Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Charlie Villanueva on his Twitter page is saying. "well, twitterland like I said there will be more trades to come, very interesting, Shaq to Cleveland, nice, all Cleveland need is a PF now"Looks like Charlie wants to come play in Cleveland.http://twitter.com/CV31Aww, that's cute Charlie, you think you're a power forward. Learn to D up on somebody more mobile than a box, will ya? how dare you call yourself a power forward you son of a !I aint in a good mood right now. Mobastian Willfair Brandon Jennings is probably gonna be a bust. I'd like to say I don't want him to fail, but the Bucks already foolishly traded away one guy who showed flashes of becoming the next Jason Kidd to make room for a cockriding loser who couldn't run a freshman team (and as I'll say to anybody who'll listen, Cavs fans better hope Lebron stays. Otherwise you'll see exactly what I mean when yall slip back into mediocrity.) Ramon Sessions has proven he belongs in the NBA, he has proven he deserves to start, and he has proven he can lead the Bucks. What the hell did Mobastian prove in Italy? Jordan Hill proved more, and I think he'll be a bust too. Tyler Hansbrough or Dejuan Blair would have been a far better pick...mainly, cus both are tough, which the power(less) forward currently calling Milwaukee home has rarely shown.

FiddySicks Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 So there are rumors out there that the Warriors are really making a strong push to bring in Amare, problem is ESPN is reporting that part of what they would give up is Curry. If they deal Curry out to bring in Amare I'm gonna be absolutely pissed. I should have known the Warriors would find a way to this up.

dwertman Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I dont remember where it was..ESPN i think,but they were playing word association with Ricky Rubio about the top 5 pick teams,and when they got to Minny he said "Too Cold".Anyone not see him in the NBA this season?

DarkJourney Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 It's that simple: Warriors will have to give up Curry if they want Stoudemire. So Curry will be staying and the Warriors will still stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do.I'd love to think this gives the Cavaliers a better chance at Lamar Odom. He is my biggest hopeful to go to the Cavs.Amare as a Laker, mann.EDIT* WHo do we assume is part of the deal?

The_Admiral Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 So with Golden State picking Curry and the Pacers picking Hansborough, my two favorite teams just picked the two biggest names in college basketball. I don't think that's ever happened to me before, in any sport.All 30 of my favorite NHL teams made good moves yesterday. I'm walking on frozen sunshine. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
